New member from Vermont

Hi,

New member here. I have a deposit on #1250 right now. I am picking it up this weekend It wont be my first and only vr4 but it will be my first galant I cant wait. It needs the head replaced because the timing belt broke but that shouldnt be that bad. I plan on fixing it, then making it my DD. It has a ton of mods already and dsmlink. My goal is a 11 second grocery getter. Anyone else from vermot?

 

Welcome to the org. Sounds like a fun goal. Good thing about rebuilding a head, it's an excuse to go ahead and upgrade it. You say not your first Vr4, but first galant? So you have a 3kgt vr4? Post up some pics when you get a chance. GL on your gvr4 adventure, it'll keep you busy.

Ah, Vermont. Something about that state just appeals to me. I hear everything is ridiculously expensive and there are - zero - jobs up there, but still. I wanna visit.

And welcome to the org.

Hopefully these pics work. This is my black 94 vr4. I drove it home from San Diego in 2008. It was completely stock.

Here is a shot of my green one. I drove it to SC to pick up a sti drivetrain. I put everything in the back of it, was riding real low.

it use to look like this before I restored it and painted it.

This is the galant I am buying. Here is the for sale add from the previous owner. It now has a 20g turbo in it, fmic, magnus intake manifold, cams, and a new act clutch. I guess the guy's friend bought it from him because he needed money. The guy drove it for a few months and the timing belt broke..

Congrats on the purchase. It looks like it'll be in good hands.

I bought the car. I'm not sure who worked on it previously, but they definitely didn't know what they were doing The ARP head studs were all finger tight, the head gasket had been replaced with a 3 layer metal one. They left a lot of the old composit gasket on there too. The pin for the hydraulic tensioner was still in it! Looks like the cause for the jumped timing though was stripped teath. The balance shaft belt got old, broke and got caught around the crank gear. I've got everything torn off and I'm waiting on my extreme psi order. Should be running this weekend. I'm going to clean everything up and I'll take some pics
