New Galant VR4 from USA

[grndsm]

I originally joined this forum because I build my own version of RVR HSG, based on Eagle Summit:

But I thought I would introduce my latest 4G63 Mitsu: I recently picked up my 4th Galant VR4 in the last 12 years. It is 1991 (1250/2000 though, this probably doen’t mean much gown under ).

The mods are rather modest, which is just like I like it for a daily driver:
- FMIC w/Greedy BOV
- 2G MAF
- 3” turbo back exhaust (relatively quite)
- V3 ECM link
- ACT2900 w/puck disk (I HATE it with a passion!!! Will need to change it!)
Not many plans for the car, other than just daily driving until spring, when I can put my Eclipse Spyder back on the road.

Nice! Very clean looking ride.

Different taillights for a USDM, been replaced with a pre-facelift jspec rear end - just incase you didn't notice

Looks nice, any plans?

Looks good mate, Loving the wheels.

Thanks, guys!

The tails are from '89 USDM fwd n/t model. PO did it, along with a few other appearance mods. I usually only focus on performance mods.

Plans are to daily drive it. I am going to focus on racing my Summit (RVR to most of you ). It is actually 150-200 lbs lighter. And reaction to a fast micro-van is much better than to one to a 4 door sedan

looks good , 5 stud convert too

we didnt number them in Aus , but the chassis codes usually tell you on which model you had

I figured the 2000 & 1000 was a US thing. How many did they sell down there?

 

[kaotik]

I'de guess 2000? Maybe that's just that year and model though

Only 315 of the Aspec VR4's were sold in Australia. Pretty rare all in all!

315 of them were sold.

300 were Burgundy.
7 were Silver.
7 were White.
1 was Black.
(it seems like it anyway)

Not many at all really.. with the $44,000 AUD price tag in the early 90's not many really could afford it. What would that price compare to these days?

How many do you think were imported?

I'm sure the mini van beating V8's look on face is priceless!
The 4 door sedan saloon thing was good back in the early 90's from what I read but it is quite common now with the release of the WRX's, EVO's etc.

That's because Maroon is the best colour!
