The key to having a reliable DD galant vr4 is having it close to stock as possible.
thats not true, look at the memebers shwcase. there are a few cars making over 400whp and have been for years, some still have the stock block in the car. they can be driven anywhere and are far from stock. having a reliably, daily drivable vr4 comes down to be meticulous with the maintenance and never be cheap when buying replacement parts. you will spend way more money in the end trying to be cheap in the beginning.
yea, i think ultimately it comes down to those guys having had the time/resources to have gone through the whole car and brought up to date anything that may go bad on a 20yr old machine en route to making that power. correct me if im wrong....either way, that's definitely the goal for me. wouldn't mind having a 20g vr4 i have peace of mind to drive from one coast to the other.

Mine isn't very stock, but it can be driven like stock. My clutch (while not a stock or 2100lb plate) is very mild mannered in traffic. It makes the slight twin-disc chatter when the clutch is pressed it, but pedal feel is like stock, and it is far from an ON-OFF switch. It'll slip on hills as easy as a full face disc.
It really is, as most people have set, quality parts that makes a DSM or Galant reliable. I drove mine 4 days last week, in 90* heat, with the AC on, to work, to the store, to anywhere I want. It goes to the mountains in winter for boarding, the beach and mountains in the summer. Carries my bike around, now will carry my dirtbike and supermoto around on the trailer. It's an awesome street car that anyone with a day or two of getting used to, could drive anywhere.
