New Beater
 

I picked up a new car for my DD and to run at the Spectator Drags out at RacewayPark.

1991 Galant VR-4 (1200/2000)

I swapped the bad tranny with Vassil's old 92 tranny, T-case, and rear subframe with 4bolt rear. Next is an E-Bay FMIC and a walbro with some 660s, and hooking up my old S-afc.

It's a deffinetly a beater but it has a solid driveline now and once I get the idle surge taken care of it will be ready to smoke those domestics out on the circle track this year.

Re: New Beater
 

WTF are 50% of all vr4's in the upper midwest or what? Nice ride!

Re: New Beater
 

I've been wanting a GVR4 for some time now...

Looks awesome. Deffinently a sleeper. How's the interior?

Re: New Beater
 

Nice beater!! How many miles are on it?

Re: New Beater
 

nice vr4!

...if you just got it, wheres all the snow on the ground? O_O

Re: New Beater
 

Probably old pics from the seller?

Re: New Beater
 

Those have to be old pics from the seller, cause I SWEAR I've seen them before on car soup or something

Re: New Beater
 

Must be, I've had 6 of them. I sold all but two of them to people from out of state.

Re: New Beater
 

I'd give it a 7 out 10, It has a tear in the drivers seat but otherwise is pretty good


177,000 but I'm dropping in a stock rebuild shortblock with about 20K on it and my Lasers old ported head later this spring.

Yep, they're the old sellers pics. I can't find my digital camera right now.

Re: New Beater
 

I almost bought 1200 when I saw it up for sale a couple months ago, I wonder if it sold, and then was sold again shortly thereafter due to the tranny issues.

when you want to sell, post it up on style first, I need a black gvr4

Re: New Beater
 

That is a nice GVR4 you got there. I like the black on black rims. But some white ones be very hot.

Re: New Beater
 

Yup, that's this one.

Re: New Beater
 

Wow, it's been awhile since I picked this thing up. It finally runs properly and is titled & insured.

Update on progress

Factory spoiler removed from trunk lid
(shaved/filled with a fresh coat of nile black)

Swapped out the 4 wheel steering racks/pump/lines, and put in a manual rack. Installed a standard pressure 255 pump w/rewire.

Re: New Beater
 

Just had the pig on the scales at a recycle yard near my house

Re: New Beater
 

LUCKy, Nice car man, WANT to trade for my 92 gsx hahaha j/k. Keep us updated.

Re: New Beater
 

Drop springs and performance struts are installed and alignment is done.

Car handles so nice now that I wish I had upgraded the OE suspension on all my other DSMs back in the day. Not to mention the killer rake looks awesome.

I'll get some new pics up soon.
