Hello everyone,
I wanted to introduce myself and my GVR4. I have always loved the GVR4's ever since my brother bought his (crashed, sold, fixed, and running again) about the same time I got my Z32. I just bought a '92 Summit White 671/1000, from a friend that needed the money and I just so happened to be looking for a DD, for school. Honestly, I think it was fate. I was supposed to get a turbo All-Trac Celica that wound up not working out. Anyway, I remembered seeing my friends Galant for sale, so I called and he was more than happy to get rid of it to someone who had actually put their own sweat into working on it. I mean, I helped him pull a motor and put a new gas tank in. She runs and drives very nice. Only about 1100 miles on the now, built motor.
2G Eclipse intake (1G MAF), Aluminum radiator, oil catch can, BPR7ES plugs, FP2 Cams, Crower springs and retainers (stock vavles), Viton rubber valve stem seals, FelPro Permatorque head gasket, ARP head studs, Eagle rods, Wiseco pistons and rings, and Clevite bearings. The battery is relocated in the trunk. A Talon trans. (shifts very smooth, miles unknown), mounted to an 8lb flywheel (stock clutch ... for now). A Wal. 255 pump, FMIC w/ 2.5" piping, stock BOV and TD05/14b (15psi ... I know, its maxed out), and a 3" turbo back straight pipe. Manual BC, AutoMeter 30psi boost gauge, slotted and drilled rotors, she has 168k miles on the chassis, and the interior is in pretty good shape, like one rip on the driver side. The A/C has been removed, as well as the cruise control and ABS (forgot to put the rings back in after doing the wheel bearings, also the fuse has been pulled) I had to get an ECU (why it was sold), found a capped and socketed (stock EPROM) one, and replaced the IAC. I still get a little idle surge every now and then when coming to a complete stop, which I'll be tracking down this weekend. Balance and alignment needs to be redone too. I'm glad to be part of such a great forum and group of people, and I look forward to meeting some of you local Colorado guys (already met a guy with a Belize Green VR4 on campus this morning!).
