guess i will introduce myself...

[turbohf]

i have been lurking here for a bit. lots of searching. just been absorbing knowledge from here...

anyway, hi, my name is Dustin or if you like 'turbohf'. i bought this Galant VR4 from a friend about a month ago. didnt wanna make a post because i didnt have any decent pics, but these will do for now. ill take some better for a members showcase later?
this is my first Mitsubishi. i have had lots of Honda's, a VW or 2, maybe a Nissan. this sure isnt the rarest or fastest i have owned, but working on the second part /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif if anyone cares i can post pics/info those?

my pics:

oh, i found a non-snow pic lol

obviously a 1991, Belize Green, non-sunroof. has 106k miles. call it all stock when i got her. but i hit the ground running, its got a fair amount done to it now, and more coming.

MAINTENANCE: i know you guys love this. so it should be mentioned that all was done before i took delivery. all fluids, timing belt, accessory belts, water pump, etc. then i replaced the alternator (oh, it was fun) cuz it was making an odd noise. picked up a used OEM rebuilt unit at the junkyard. replaced the uber cracked 1g manifold with a EVOIII unit. with new EVOIII turbo gasket, new EVO8 manifold gasket, and new hardware.
oh forgot, it has an ACT2600/Fidanza combo also.



thats all for now i guess. just wanted to say hi.

The body looks good. Does it still have 4WS? Also it looks like you need mod to be a ABS-Delete /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/idea.gif.

thanks and negative. im not removing anything. the 4WS/ABS/etc will stay until it becomes an issue not worth fixing. other than maybe the cruise control, that doesnt seem to work. probably because i unplugged the clutch switch.
need to finish polishing/waxing the exterior. couple little scratches i still need to buff out. but the rain slowed me down, then the snow. and the CRX seems to have taken up hibernation in the garage, refuses to come out.

I bought my car with the clutch switch unplugged and haven't bothered to plug it in but my cruise control works just fine.

i think thats it... sure stuff is missing lol. still wanna get some cams, and figure out what suspension i want to run. know someone that can get me a deal on some megan/ksport coilovers, but not really sure i want to go that route. also have a friend with some stock EVO suspension, kinda leaning towards that at the moment.

 

[raptorWagon]

Compared to your monster truck height, it will look something like this with the Evo suspension.




Whether or not you want to keep the raked stance is up to you.

 

[maxash0775]

^^^ Are those AMG wheels I see??

 

[turbohf]

you cut your springs to even it out?

also im going to be running some 17x7.5" wheels, with some 225-45-17 tires most likely... im probably going to want to be a little lower.

 

[raptorWagon]

The rears aren't cut (retains the raked stance) and the front were cut a 1/2 or 1 coil. Yes those are the AMG type 1s.

I had 195/50/15 tires.

so i got a promotion of sorts at work, and i work mon-fri now. so i was able to sneak my car in the shop at work today lol. did the suspension. nice using a legit spring compressor and a lift.

im using 57mile '06 EVO IX GSR stock suspension. i cut about 1.5 coils off the front. nothing off the rear, yet.

it rides nice and stiff...kinda like an EVO /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif


pics:

mid process, just the fronts

pulled it out back to get a decent pic. by decent i mean with my cell phone, in the beautiful seattle weather.

i had one of the guys there help me align it real quick. he sets it up then goes "YES!... i dont have to align the rear!" lol.
got like -.5-.7 camber on the fronts i think. dont recall the rears. drives nice tho. needed aligned even at stock height really.

yes, i realize i could probably use a coil cut out the rear also. but i was running low on time, didnt feel like messing with it anymore...


thats all for today. i might work on some fuel/tuning/intercooler tomorrow... might. its probably going to rain, then ill bitch out... unless i can push the CRX far enough forward in the garage to sneak the bumper inside?... mmm...

 

[turbohf]

couple of pics of todays work. just a mockup, just trying to see what im working with. got her trimmed up, still have a couple more things to mod up, but should make things quicker once i start making pipes.
