crap my bad. im not a whippersnapper anymore, so i dont see movies till they are on netflix and the kids are in bed.

Not sure if this has been posted, or if anyone else has noticed, but i was watching Bourne Legacy this weekend, and noticed a galant.It was right after he steals the motorcycle and tries to get away from the bad guy trying to kill him. Its a black galant, appears to be a vr4 or gsx.I had...

I think everyone else is finding out, like I am finding out, there are not very many parts left. Especially up here in the frozen north.

Awesome awesome people made things happen. supplied many parts. So all I need is the hood.

I have 239/1000 I know there are at least 5 of them up here in the arctic region.

Thanks for the offer, but I probably wont be interested in that. The only part that is really bent frame wise is that cross bar that holds the radiator supports. If dudes truck wasnt lifted it would have munched the bumper and bumper support and intercooler and probably much more. but we we...

Thanks for all the responses. I found many a good parts on ebay that I will be purchasing. Its funny, they say, will ship international excluding hawaii and alaska, and a few countries in africa. geeez. Sent pm's

A drunk pulled out in front of us a few weeks back, insurance finally settled and getting us the money. but munched 239/1000. sucks. wife was driving. she hurt her arm when she braced for impact. Kids werent hurt, just scared, since i wasnt driving i just sat there and went, boink, and bounced...

Metal was too thin for me to weld, even on my lowest amp setting. Ended up using some tape that the airforce uses to fix f-15's, got it from my airforce crew cheif. It worked out sooo good. No more tiny fuel spray from the hardline. This car has lasted 20 years. Not sure its gonna be so good...

Heating and air condition guys, dudes that work on boilers, have stuff in their vans that can capture your refrigerant. That way you dont have to take the car anywhere. You will have to pay of course in any action as someone is required to have a license to handle r-12

Shipping with US. Postal isnt so bad. Fedex and UPS rape with sand though, cause we dont have ground option, only 2 day air. $40 bucks to ship a 2 dollar part. So US postal is the best option for shipping up here or out of here. Unless its something strange like a hood.

Thanks for the ideas. I have a tiny baby in the house, so sleepless nights keeps my mind from thinking clearly.

So my hardline coming out of the gas tank where it curves into the union has rusted through and there is a pinhole leak squirting a really fine spray of gasoline. Any suggestions on repair?

All the belts were new from the previous owner. So I reused them. Previous dude had the heads reworked, I know he wasnt a car guy and had the car at a shop where it sat for a long time. Galant is so easy to work on compared to my 3000gt.

Was driving home one day when all of a sudden it just started sputtering and died in the middle of the intersection. luckily I was only a block away from home.Ruled out the usual suspects. So while doing the compression test, 1 and 2 were 150 and 155. 3 and 4 were only 40 lbs. So I placed a...

Thank you for the reply.

My headlights turn off, but not the parking lights when i take out the key and leave the headlight switch on. Is the the general for Galant?My 3000gt vr4 all the lights turn off when i take the key out, even if the switch is left on. My Talon tsi, nope, it all stays on, been stranded few times...

Last night I was at the pump, gas light had been on for a few days, odometer read 180 miles. Filled it up, it stopped just over 11 gallons, i thought to myself, hmmmm, so squoze the handle very gently and got 13 gallons before telling myself to stop. So I am getting closer to figuring what my...

We did about 20 events last season using three of our cars, the '92 3000gt vr4, the '91 3000gt vr4 and our '95 talon tsi. We were safety stewards, so we were the first ones there and the last to leave, and I was on the board of directors. So lets just say, it was soooo much work. But its what...

There are four diff groups that hold autocross events, as far as I know. Sports Car Club of America, Sub Zero Motorsports, Alaska Sports Car Club, Porsche ClubMe and the woman were involved in SCCA, We did every autocross event, many rallycross and a few road rally. We got burnt out and this...

Well lets just say we drive from Anchorage to Seattle, lets remember that is only half the trip. We would still need to drive home. I would opt for the ferry through the inside passage. I have done that drive 4 times. lots of washboard dirt road. Three times in my 1990 honda accord and once...

Well the count continues. We should organize a meet next summer. I am still at the hospital with our newborn son. Its going to be alot of sleepless nights for a while.

From my count, that makes 4 of us on the boards here from the great northern state.

I very much dislike the lobro joint. On my 3000gt I have a 2 piece carbon fiber drive shaft. That stock drive shaft is designed exactly like the Galants, except much more massive. The stock shaft on my 3000 weighs over 50lbs. The carbon shaft I replaced it with is 20lbs. The lobro joint was...

iceman, probably, ha ha ha. I have like 20 13g turbos sittin in my garage. only 1 t25 that I pulled out of my talon to swap a 14b into, and a couple of 15g turbos.

misterfixit, thank you for that information, that was very helpful.

Terry, that is nice. that is what i plan to do with mine over the winter. I know dumping into the atmosphere gives me a false reading on my wideband downstream.

Base timing is correct? Boost leaks?

I forgot one more factor, tire size. My calculations were based on my previous 195/60/15 size. Now i have 225/45/17 and is about an inch taller. Lengthens the gear slightly, maybe im just used to the tall gears in my 3000gt.Bill, what tire size you running on your car?

Im with you on that one. Unfortunately when I purchased my car it came with it set up with the divorced pipe. I have a stock o2 pipe sittin in my garage, but the 3" downpipe was custom built to mate to the stainless divorced pipe. So the gasket doesnt seal properly with the stock 2 1/2" o2...

I have a divorced downpipe (screamer tube) on mine. It does sound pretty insane. I did back to back comparison with the stock o2 housing and the divorced, my butt dyno couldnt tell a damn bit of difference. In my opinion, a ported stock housing would be the best. But to each his own.

Blown1, my needle never reads fully to the right either. Well it sounds to me like its not an isolated problem, not that its really a problem, just a Galant-izm. Yeah, im guessing the tank was not completly empty each time I filled up.Thanks for all the input everyone.

My 3000gt is almost 20 years old and I have had the pump in and out of that thing many times, I was surprised by how clean the inside of the fuel tank is. I do not know what the inside of my fuel tank on the Galant looks like though. Im assuming we are speaking of rust and perhaps a bad batch...

So what are you averaging mileage wise from full tank to gas light comes on? I am getting 21 miles per gallon city driving from what I can tell is 11 gallons. My odometer read 240 miles when the needle was at the bottom. I didnt want to risk running it further.If we can all come up with an...

So has anyone come to the conclusion of whether its the guage on the dash or the float in the gas tank that causes the discrepency?

I guess I could describe the wheels. They are actually the first set of wheels I have paid retail for. MSR 113 17x7 40mm offset with 225/45/17 The wheels are 20lbs without the tires. There were lighter wheels, but I only paid a hundred bucks each wheel, some of the lighter wheels I looked at...

15 inch wheels are awesome for acceleration, they handled ok, looked very late 80's New 17 inch wheels look much more updated but acceleration suffers.

I did a search but couldnt find any info on the fuel capacity of the Galant. My owners manual says the tank can hold 16 U.S. gallons, but since I have owned this car about three weeks now, been able to fill up twice and all I can seem to pump into it is 11 gallons from complete empty till it...

I just switched from my stock 15" wheels to some 17" wheels today. Looks pretty darn good, but killed all the response. I will get pics in the morning.

Hi, I am 239/1000 picked up a Kensington grey vr4 a couple of weeks ago. incomplete car, had to undo alot of ghetto rigging and redo alot and put alot back together. all in all its an awesome car. 16g turbo, big front mount, agx adjustable with h&r springs, boost controller, 3 inch turbo back w...
