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:

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...

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.

How much time do you spend in a parking lot with your performance car? If you do a lot of parking lot driving, and hang out in parking lots, chances are you are a ricer, go home and read import tuner. If you’re complaining about noise you should not be modifying your car. You should also consider no longer being a man, please hand in your genitals at the door.

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 :D 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
