Skylining days are over... for now

[PTR33]

Well, as of 5.00pm yesterday I am no longer a skyline owner. I may return to the fold at some later date, V35 350GT is looking good, but for now I have journeyed to the dark side. No, not a local car! I'm not stupid!

My new ride is a '89 Galant VR4 with 4 of everything! 4WD 4WS 4doors :-) and a nice DOHC 2.0L 4Cylinder running 12PSI daily and 18PSI on "special" occasions. bye bye commonwhore :-)

The funny thing is that it looks like a "skinny Magna". talk about wolf in sheep's clothing!

The car is actually the mother of all EVO Lancers.

What a weapon in the wet! My brother summed it up as "This thing defies the laws of physics!"

Genuine 47,000km when I got it off the boat, the interior is like new and after a polish the exterior ain't too shabby either.

Will bring it along to the QLD dyno-day at Mercury Motorsports and see what it puts to the rollers.

awww, nooo . but have fun in ya galent .

[thunda]

strange you should say it looks like a skinny magna as for most uninformed people thats the first thing that they think the VR 4 is

the only thing the evo has over the vr4 is it carrys less weight than the vr4 and the 2lt block has a little bit more meat inbetween its cyclinders

[slow13dude]

Nothing wrong with the VR4 Galant

Welcome to the darkside....

Welcome to the darkside....

Mark wanted a VR4 but couldnt hack and afford it, so had to settle for the VR3 ... great car though

[predator]

pix?

Weren't you bagging out your own VR4 when you first got it as it wasnt what you expected? Or has time you warmed you to it? Or is this a different one? confused

[Mark]

I'm not sure if you're talking to me or not, but I've always loved my Vr4.

I bent two valves and lost a cylinder and put dents in all of the pistons (hitting valves) hence the Vr3.

I'm currently getting an engine rebuild, new turbo, cooler, computer, fuel system etc etc, should be pretty sweet when it's done

As autospeed says "Australia's best value performance car"

[Guest Mashrock]

i was going to get a vr4 a while ago. but couldnt get the hang of the style/kit they have. its a bit harsh on the eye!! but i know they go good!

i setteled for a gti-r

ha what a mistake that was!!!

[Mr. Oizo]

Damn, you bought the car that I want.

Have fun with it

one of us, one of us, one of us *continue chat in religous monotone voice*

Well, 6 months down the track and I am still happy with the Galant.

It endeared itself to me with its forgiving manners at the skidpan day and I would have never have believed you could have so much fun blowing off SS commonwhores with "only" 135awkw. 10L/100km is a bit of a bonus over the 13 that the 'line used with today's petrol prices too.

[TTT]

I had one for a while.

they go ok but I just never got attached to it.

Mine was more trouble then it was worth.

FMIC

Fuel pump

ecu

TD05-16G

18psi boost will see it kill many things.

good luck

Yeah, heavy car, ugly, but very good engine / drivetrain...

Evo's also have better suspension and rear diff setups than VR4s Among a few other things. AWD is a winner for drag racing off sets of lights but unfortunately not as much fun as sometimes loss of traction is entertaining.

Good luck with it
