    91 Galant vr4 Illinois sold

    Should've left the price up for insurance comps. These things matter when one of these cars gets damaged. Now more than ever.

    VR4 at Pick-n-Pull in Tacoma WA

    Nope. I don't want to get hassled by people wanting me to figure out a way to box it up and/or ship it in any fashion whatsoever. I'm willing to deliver it in the puget sound region for a fee, however.

    Post your ETs race short route intercooler piping builds

    This is how i cut my bumper. Fits well. Supports the cover 100%. You can literally stand on it. The bottom of the cover was pretty warped when i put it all together a decade ago. I actually removed that bit last year as it's pretty flat now and will be fastened to the sheet metal underneath with...

    See, i kept the entire top part of my steel bumper. Where the bolts go in for the fascia/cover. There's a small overhang left over that wraps in front of the intercooler just a bit. I'll see if i can dig up a photo for ya. Looks like you've got it sorted out, though. Looks like your FMIC sits...

    Upstream o2 sensor harness side wire hunt

    There is no "upstream" or "downstream" o2 sensor. There's only one on the car, and it's not in the exhaust manifold on a stock VR4. It's in the O2 housing, which is bolted to the turbine housing with 4 bolts. That there does not look like any o2 sensor i've ever seen. I think VFAQ or the FSM...

    Drivable Galant VR4s

    555/1000 is "almost" drivable again. Nothing was wrong with it, but i tore it apart to install a new FMIC many, many months ago, then that turned into "may as well get a morrison manifold" which prompted needing a new turbine housing, which then turned into "ooh, a black friday sale and Gen2...

    WTB ANY 89-91 galant hood that is not destroyed or rusted

    Set up an alert on Row52 for 89-93 galant. When one pops up in a junkyard, you'll get an alert. That's how i got my replacement OEM hood.

    Post your ETs race short route intercooler piping builds

    I've had my car on jackstands for a while, doing a few things. Can confirm that if you have a GOOD radiator and fans (no mishimoto garbage, especially fans) then you won't have an issue with overheating. I've had my car running in the shop when it's well over 90f ambient for an hour at a time...

    555/1000

    Oh gosh, where do i begin? I'll start with the basics: I felt like it was time to try something new(er). The amount of control over literally every parameter is leaps and bounds better than ECMLink. ECMLink is "easy" but, for instance where it comes to startup, warm-up and idle tuning, it's like...

    Clutch Grind?

    There's not going to be any measurable difference between the USDM & JDM clutch/flywheel. Look up the parts in ASA vs online EPC (Japan) and I believe you'll see they're the same. Do you happen to have solid (or upgraded poly) bushings in the rear subframe? Prothane engine mount bushings...

    Trunk battery circuit breaker

    I'm running a 200 or 250A breaker. Basically it's just there for if there's a major short circuit in the actual positive cable. Everything else is fused on its own elsewhere.

    Collection of GVR4's in WA

    I know nothing about any cars out there, but i do have one decaying in my driveway at the moment. You want it? I'll sell it fairly cheap. All it needs is everything. And the dash mounted, as opposed to sitting in the back seat.Quoting AllWheelsDriven: So I'm not really a new member. I had...

    Innovative LC2 O2 sensor and ECMLink

    FYI the brand is "INNOVATE", not "innovative". And yes, the controller is required to drive the sensor. However you can wire an output direct to the ECU for monitoring if you don't feel you want/need a gauge for some odd reason. The controller sends the output for the gauge and for logging. I...

    Twin Disc Clutch Survey

    My QM pedal effort is about like stock (possibly lighter). Definitely nowhere near what a 2600 is. I'm running stock TOB and a Comp clutch fork that is clearanced for the pressure plate. A twin is definitely not for everybody. It certainly gives the car a much more "race only" feel to it. Stop...

    Twin Disc Clutch Survey

    I have the 6 leg QM geardrive. I absolutely love it. It is very noisy, though. If i were buying one again, i'd definitely, with zero doubt, go for the Quarter Master 8 leg Gear Drive twin.

    More rear brake bias needed

    I've come to realize, after riding in some other peoples' cars of different makes/models, both new and old, that my rear brake bias seems to be lacking. I assume the 13" wilwoods up front likely exacerbate this. I've been looking into a rear prop valve, but due to the diagonal configuration of...

    Have to turn the key about 50 times to start the car sometimes.

    I struggled with this for quite a while. I finally found that if i supplied 12v directly to the solenoid signal wire from under the hood, it would crank every time. I wound up putting a relay under the hood for this wire. Ignition sends a signal to the relay now, which closes the circuit to a...

    Stock alternator harness

    How's the saturn alternator treating you, anyway? I just installed mine and have yet to wire it and reinstall the intake manifold. I *almost* miss having a stock intake manifold. At least when it comes to alternator failure time.

    Another suspension question.

    My BC RM series seems to be holding up well. They've seen a bit of track time, both autox and drag, as well as some really spirited driving. I'll be sure and make a huge fuss on the forum here if they wind up shitting the bed. So far, so good!Bobdole got me a decent deal on them. Under the...

    Dash switches bulb replacements

    I highly doubt it is. I just replaced one in the L/R Recirc/Fresh selector bar, and the ashtray in mine and they were a standard wedge bulb. These wire terminal bulbs are entirely different.

    Alarm Installation

    I've put an alarm in 2 of my vr4s. I pull the dash to do it. It's not that difficult, and you can really squirrel away the control unit and wires so that any supposed "knowledgeable thieves" would be stymied when attempting to locate the bits that would be required to bypass and get the thing...

    What's up with this mess?

    Every sprung hub with pucks i've run hard has either tossed a spring or had the hub separate. Puck style discs with springs are particularly susceptible to this due to the harsh engagement. I've seen it happen to full face discs as well, but they seem to be more tolerant. It really doesn't...
