a few galant VR-4 specific questions
 

For the few of you that own galant VR-4s, I'd like to get some expert information (kinda hard to find this specific stuff about them on the net)

In general, my questions are around body and interior parts. Are they compatible between any 6th gen model galant? I realize that finding replacement stuff for a VR-4 might be hard and expensive.

specifically:
Can you use headlights from any plain old 6th gen galant? Can you use a hood from any 6th gen galant? How about grills, trim piece below grille/headlight? Bumper? How about seats and interior trim?

Thanks for any an all input!

1) It's actually quite hard to find them but just this past year I have seen 2-3 6th Gen. galants in the junkyard, all of them which were is still pretty good condition exterior wise. Fitting a non-vr4 front bumper to a GVR4 is going to be tricky because of stock fmic routing.
2) Yes, 91-93 models will fit fine.

3) Yes, I have a white 6th gen galant hood from the junkyard and we test fitted it and fit quite perfectly on my car.

4) everything should be bolt up except the if you for some reason swap the front GVR4 bumper to the non-vr4 front bumper. Seats should be direct because I almost wanted a cloth interior! but decided not to because I'm planning to go to an Evo 8 interior. Supposively the 89' glove box is lighter than the GVR4....so you could possibly cut your 1/4 by 4 seconds..lol. jk. hopefully this helps

look up j hot imports. that is were I get all my oem parts for the evo 3. they have oem jdm panels and other parts for the vr4's

Re: a few galant VR-4 specific questions
 

The whole front end except for the bumper is interchangeable with normal galants. Finding parts is actually not bad at all.

go on GalantVR4.net and you can find anything.

Re: a few galant VR-4 specific questions
 

Their site really sucks. Did you just follow their ebay auctions, or email them directly to see what they have?

Re: a few galant VR-4 specific questions
 

With a little cutting, can I make a non-vr-4 front bumper work?

Re: a few galant VR-4 specific questions
 

yes. but If I remember correctly, there won't be much air going to the IC.

Re: a few galant VR-4 specific questions
 

That sounds like something I could manage, and probably improve.

Re: a few galant VR-4 specific questions
 

awd-drifter, do you have any body or interior stuff for sale?

Re: a few galant VR-4 specific questions
 

no. I only have the hood. When the snow begins to melt, I'll be on my way to the junkyard though.

Re: a few galant VR-4 specific questions
 

would you sell me the hood?

Re: a few galant VR-4 specific questions
 

sure...but it has some pretty funny writing on them. lol. I had it because I was planning to have it as a vented hood. You're probably gonna have to repaint it.

Re: a few galant VR-4 specific questions
 

you need to call them. they dont post anything on there website any more

Re: a few galant VR-4 specific questions
 

If you need a bumper I have a GVR4 belieze green bumper with foglights in my shed.

Re: a few galant VR-4 specific questions
 

I think there is Galant LS front bumper that's basicly the same minus the fog light holes. I seem to recall somone finding one since they didn't have the fogs anymore.

Re: a few galant VR-4 specific questions
 

The front bumper from a non ggsx or ls bumper would be very difficult to make fit with any kind of a front mount. Otherwise, the rest of the parts are bolt on. If you swapped fenders you would have to drill a few holes for the ground effects pieces to attach properly. What body parts are you looking for? I have some sideskirts, a trunk, and some other stuff laying around. Pm me if you're interested.
