FS: #418/2000 - Blairstown, NJ $4950

[NateCrisman]

Considering selling #418/2000 after about a year of fun, tuning, and going to track a few times. Iv recently bought an F350 dually for my partout business and a new startup auto-transport business, so I really don't "need" #418 to daily drive, and I can't really modify/race two project fun cars at the same time. so I'm putting the feeler up to sell the car as is.

$4950 for the car as is with the 16g setup as a turnkey mid 12 car.

$6000 for the car with both turbo setups - you choose 12's or 10's!

The FP3176 HTA turbo setup (FP manifold, FP turbo, FP o2 housing, TiAl, Vband SS downpipe) will go with the car at $6000 total. Put that back on, load the previous tune files (you'll get my entire DSMlink folder on a thumb drive), and you have a 550whp+ street car capable of a 10 second pass (driver skills required) and also have the E3 16g for winter/street duty.

I'm not going to get into discussing partout value/shell value/whole car value on this one. I'm not dying to sell. I don't want to part it out.

This shell is as rust free as you will ever find in the north USA, I drove 2500miles to Miami, FL to buy it due to the excellent underside condition that I just can't find in NJ area.

#418/2000 - 1991 Galant VR4 - no sunroof. Nile Black paint covered with Silver vinyl wrap.

Left windows open in the pits at the shootout on saturday when the monsoon season came to ohio:

Performance wise..The car ran low 11 and dipped into the 10.9's @ 129 for me this summer and was stupid fun with a FP3176HTA turbo on it that was able to push 36psi boost. Long story, but got kicked out of track for no rollbar or safety equip, so I decided to take the big turbo off this fall and replace it with a Evo3 16g for street use over winter.

I took the car to Island Dragway last month once just to test out the 16g and work on the tune, it ran 12.7 and 12.8 @113mph in street trim at about 22psi boost with pumpgas + meth with me bogging the launch to 1.8's. I hadn't shimmed the wastegate actuator enough yet, and the spool was still lazy and it wouldn't make more than 22 then drop off. With it shimmed properly, it makes more boost & power now...it's probably good for a low 12 with a strong 1.6 launch and the tune set more aggressive. Likely puts down mid 300's on a dynojet and is fun to drive with the fast spooling 16g. With the methanol injection, you can pretty much run the 16g at a boost setting of "all of it" everyday. Honestly, the Meth works so well, I was maxing out the FP turbo on pumpgas as well.

Planned Future Modifications that I haven't had time to do: -
Stuff still on the "to-do" list for Winter/Spring '17: Make it a nicer street car:

Fix non-functional windshield wipers and squirter washers.
Clean up trunk area, tidy up the meth install, and put the carpet/trim back in
Lube/align the rear pass window that gets stuck 1" from closing if you don't "help it" up the last 1"
Charge AC system
Window tint rear window (gotta have a tint shop do it properly)
Obtain a front windshield upper trim and get it to stay on at 130mph! (twice lost at dragstrip!)
move boost gauge to better location (currently in front of cluster on the column trim)
Buy a nice dual din bluetooth head unit. (stock radio)
shorten the catback about 3" to get the muffler tip under the rear jdm bumper
[/list]

This car has one rust/corrosion spot, and it's weird...in the front driver side corner of the trunk seal under the rear window. Iv sealed it up with silicone, but there is a hole in that spot that leaked into the trunk and a corresponding spot under the rear seat where water got trapped. I'm thinking the car was parked for a long long time with the rear end "up" so that water couldn't drain from that spot in the 1/4 panel/trunk lid seam (I'm talking like years).

Any prospective buyers are welcome to come check the car out, drive it, go beat it up WOT, powershift it...and put it on my lift to see the underside.

I'll update this post with new pics this week (yes yes underside).

I'd say that it's worth more and if someone buys this asap, you are getting a hell of a deal. Glws

 

[NateCrisman]

I priced it on what I consider the low end (especially if someone takes the big turbo setup with it). Id just like to "move on" to concentrate on all the other projects in my life right now. Getting this trucking business off the ground, building the yellow 1G for racing 2017, putting more time/effort into my partout business.

There is just only so much ME every day, and this car will end up in no-man's-land when it's neither my daily driver or my racecar or my #1 project. I don't want to see it languish and rot in my driveway. Would rather sell it, see someone else enjoy racing it and modding it, and finish up the misc little fixes I haven't gotten to yet. Then I can move onto the yellow 1g with a clean conscience.

 

[4g6Tree]

Man, this is tempting. I'm in for pictures.

 

[NateCrisman]

Forgot to mention, Ill deliver for $0.40/mile

Photo Gallery link for #418/2000 for sale

Right now there are like 29 photos in the gallery, some "detail shots"...I'm not going to link them all ...anyone interested in the car can go take a deep up close look in the gallery and zoom in on any photos you want to really see. If there's not a photo of something you want to see specifically...just shoot me a txt and I'll take the pic and add to the gallery.

The area that had a rust hole ...I covered the entire area with black thick silicone.

Here you can see the drip of water running down the inside of the shock tower...looks like it drips from the trunk hinge.

Here you can see the "worst" of the body issues: there is an inward smooth dent under the drivers side rear corner directly under the tail light.

 

[fuel]

My first Galant in New Zealand rusted under the rear windscreen in the exact same spot and I've seen multiple others with the same rust. I thought it was confined to the NZ assembled models as I never saw a JDM with the same rust.

 

[GSTwithPSI]

^Yup. 820 had the same issue. Water pools there and just sits if the car is left for long periods. There is a body seam there and the body seam sealer cracks and peals off, leaving the bare metal seam exposed. Add water, and you get rust. It's a common rust area on the Galant, same as the front lower quarter panels behind the fenders.

 

[NateCrisman]

Yes, this one was strange to me. it had that hole in the trunk/quarter seam and dripping in the trunk. But the front fenders and under the doglegs/rockers is spotless. Check out the link below to my "mod thread" that has like 50 photos of the car with the body apart for the wrap process. Prospective buyer can see the other GVR4 rot areas are spotless on this car.

My Thread with tons of photos during the wrap process.

[jnava]

I'm in for JDM rear and front with foglights and FP turbo.

 

[TurboDSM]

I'm in for the bumpers too if possible.

 

[NateCrisman]

Savages!!!! This is a Car for Sale thread, not a throw the bones to the wolves thread! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

I was simply illustrating the value in my $6000 asking price.

Quoting NateCrisman:
I may have just convinced myself to part it out anyway


This is all I saw

 

[NateCrisman]

I'm going to give it a little more time, especially cause the F350 I bought is already having some issues...(looks like the transmission computer blew up, stranded me 100 miles from home, cost me a $463 tow bill). Also having some issue with the dealership/credit union..long story, but the dealer F'd up the loan application, the bank approved it, but hasn't released the funds to the dealership because of their paperwork error, and now they are being dicks and holding back my registration & plates till the loan is completed...so I can't drive it anyway.

I'm going to be daily driving the GVR4 this week at least, so no partout forthcoming.

Juan...you know how I feel about shipping big bulky stuff. I hope you are going to be driving to NJ, or I'm sitting on these till the shootout! hahaha
In all seriousness, the JDM bumpers probably need to sell with the shell since they are already wrapped to match, and I don't have stock bumper to put on the shell either.

If I decide to part this car, it isn't going to be a body/interior/wiring partout. It's going to be "take off the aftermarket mods" and sell the shell as a roller for someone else to build. I'm not parting this one to the unibody and crushing it. So some of the stuff I listed, won't be for sale outside of the shell. (bumpers, tail lights, grill, ext)

 

[thomcasey]

Interested in the combo gauge with sensors.

 

[Jesus_Negros]

If this car doesnt sell as a complete car, then you folks really dont want GVR4's to be worth anything since yall rather cannibalize a running one for your projects that'll never run. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

Nate, GLWS and I hope you wont have to part it.

 

[NateCrisman]

If it comes to it...I will part this car out, because frankly, there is a big money difference (about $4500) between what it's worth in parts and my $6000 price to drive it away with both turbo kits. While I have a sentimental place in my heart for GVR4, it's not typically a space that $4500 can't fill.

I'm going to give it a little longer, until the F350 is fixed (ordering PCM for it today, and I got the loan fixed yesterday & obtained my temp tag/reg). Likely will give it till after Christmas to make the partout decision. once I do, all the parts will get listed on PerformancePartout.com and I'll make a thread in the parts-for-sale section. But for now...no more chatter in this thread of "calling dibs" on parts, because that's not happening anyway yet. Patient hasn't even been proclaimed dead yet and you guys are calling dibs on organ transplants.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif I know it's the bad time of year right before the holidays, but DAMN If a clean running 10 second street car without underside cancer is not sellable at $6000, GVR4 truly have become just a dsm....just a worthless container of aftermarket parts.

On the other bonus side: if I decide to part it out, then I'm keeping the shortblock, ECU & related electronics, FPR, fuel lines to use on the yellow 1g.

 

[NateCrisman]

F350 is fixed and drove around fine all weekend.

I'm going to make the decision tonight on parting out #418/2000 and what will go up for sale and in what groups. (assuming one of the 15 people "interested" don't pony up a paypal deposit today)

Basicaly, this bump is notice to anyone on the fence: Move Your Ass and decide to buy it whole before I decide to take it apart...there will be no going back once Imm past that point.

 

[NateCrisman]

Sale Pending. #418/2000 looks to be going to a new owner in South Carolina, I'm going to deliver it early in Jan. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
