Perkul8r's 91 Galant VR4 1055/2000

[Perkul8r]

So I was messing around and called my Aunt looking for a running and driving car. I have been trying to buy her husbands Galant VR4 for years. Well. She said that due to it needing a clutch and having trans problems.

The last time i seen the car it looked alot better. lol. The paint is really bad on it. And the interior is in dire need of a good cleaning. The car does run good though. Even with a slipping clutch I was able to drive it 250 miles back home. The clutch did slip anytime you get into boost. But i just took it slow.

I already have the parts to fix the clutch issue. Only thing I am concerned about is the trans issues. If you put it into first and let the clutch out it just pops out. I did do some looking and i see that the bracket holding the cables on the trans is loose. Gonna tighten that up and check the cables for adjustment and see what happens.

Any way here are some pics.

mod #1 relocate battery to trunk lol

awesome! what are your plans for it after you fix the clutch and clean it up? good to see a non-molested GVR4 around!

Looks pretty straight, get a paint job and you'd have a kick ass bone stock GVR-4! Probably not many of those out there anymore. Heck, maybe just a good cleaning and a buff.

I kinda wanna keep it simple. Not alot of mods. Gonna pretty much replace the clutch and see if there is any other issues with the trans.

Gonna do emissions and egr removal. Also adding a MBC, and trying to find at least a jdm fmic for it until i can afford the ETS kit. Pretty much just gonna start small and go from there.

I am still debating on relocating the battery to the truck. Its just so odd seeing the battery right there.

Goodhart-I know the paint dont look bad in the pics, but in person its horrid. lol. The doors and one rear fender must have been repainted at one time cause they are still shiny. But on a good note. My uncle said if i can get it into a good primer sealer and possibly just a satin clear by the end of summer, he will respray it or me.

if you relocate the batter it will clean up and open up the bay alot!!

[Perkul8r]

ya. I am looking into a battery relocation kit. Just doing some searching over at GVR4.org and see what others do.

honestly im jelouse i would trade my dsm for glant vr4 anyday

[Perkul8r]

Well, this is not my first VR4. I had one years ago, like 5+ years ago, and sold it to a friend. And in the middle of me buying it back, the car was sitting at his place of work waiting for a chance to get new paint. And there was a nasty ass storm and a tree fell on it and three other cars. Ever since than i have always wanted another one. Its been the only car I have actually searched for. But any good ones were usually about 6+ hours away.

Here is the pic of my last one a week before the tree fell.

I dont have any aftermath pics. Because I was not the titled owner, the guy at the shop would not let me back there. This car was reportedly taken out to the shop owners land, run over with a Dozer, and than buried.

lol? kinda sounds like a fishy story to me..
