Hey all

[-alex-]

New to the site, obviously.. Not sure how well my car will fit in, but it is a Galant if that helps... From 1974 =]
Im really just here for a bit of a look around, have been tossing up between afew cars for my next car, one possibility being a vr4 Galant, hence why Im here.

Anyway, here is my car =]

Hi Alex

welcome to the club

 

[DOUGMO]

i used to have one of those.

mine was painted metalic poo though

but it had a nimbus 1.8 and lancer 5 speed

 

[NZVR4]

put a 4g63 in that as it is and it would be a real sleeper car

 

[doommachine]

Wow, that thing looks great! Something a bit different to having a corolla


If you do hot it up, for the love of all that is holy, leave it looking exactly like that!! Those hubcabs + big16g = scared hachis :twisted:

 

[Sylent Nyte]

I reckon to leave a classic just as it is actually, don't change a thing. Beautiful condition its in, keep it up!

 

[-alex-]

Thanks =]
Yea, if I was to really mod it up more than just the occasional thing or two, I would keep it in the style of the older cars, wouldnt change much at all. Old cars with modern looks just dont seam to work :roll:

 

[DOUGMO]

there are plenty of cheap upgrades you can do without wrecking the car.

gh sigma front struts and brakes(good upgrade) but you need a 14" rim.

wagon rear leaf springs.

lc lancer 5 speed box etc...

Nice car mate..
I saw a silver one of those in an old fast fours wit a vr4 engine in north south config done by a company called perFOURmance i think..
I too say put a 4G, starion engine at the min.

Sweet car mate. I have had a GA & GB Galant.

My last 1 had a Toyota 4age 20v. Its not Mitsubishi engine but when I built it in 1998 turbo engines in QLD were not legal. The 4age was the most powerful 1.6 at the time at a reasonable price ( 117kw ) It made 110rwhp in the car.

 

[brisvr4]

Welcome mate!
Gotta love the old school Galants

 

[tUfRiCe]

[ozyvr4]

Found some pics of my GA.

I wish I took more photos of it, but it was nearly 10 years ago I had it.

 

[tUfRiCe]

[doommachine]

[tUfRiCe]

[-alex-]

No one said there was anything wrong with dattos? Lol! You start to hate them after the 10th time your told you have a nice looking datto, when it clearly says Galant :x
Deserves its own thread? Tell me where to post it and sure! Should post a few more pics up anyway I guess, and a bit more info Not that there is anything overly special about the poor thing lol
ozyvr4, love to look of your GA :smt060 We have 2 other Galants, on a GA, which is in the process of becoming a hill climb car.
Oh, and to save any confusion about my name, I am female.. Probably should have mentioned that before :? Lol
