Well I have been looking @ making the jump for a project, i thought bout buying an evo earlier but decided against


now the itch is back and there are 2 cars that interest me




early 90s vr4 gallants


and

the early evos



the question i have is can you folks help me with questions and resources in regard to this - in particular have you had any expirience with the vr4 and the engine .

i am concerned about aftermarket support and more importantly the durability and replacement parts for the engine

 

GrassRoots Motorsports Magazine had a great article on the VR4.

I'd send you the date, but the mag. is at home. I believe it was two issues ago. They talked all about the VR4 and some of the things to look for and plan on building one up.

Good Luck,

jcnel.

 

thanks - it seems an awesome platform to work on - i am just afraid of it turning into a money pit

 

Aside from putting in gas and maintenance, every car is a money pit so go for it!

 

lol

true true - but i am trying to keep my **** and pants on in the process

 

Go to www.galantVR4.org

Lots of info there and a few cars for sale.

thanks mark - checked out the site - looks promising, now if i could only get to see the full content - havent recieved word from them as of yet

 

- the site has been very helpfull except there are few cars by far beetween that are for sale

 

I used to have a 91 Galant VR4. #187/2000. It was a sweet car but most all ive seen are money pits and they run like *** until you tune em. If you find one that actually works.

 

my friend has a vr4 for sale. garage kept. it runs good and has two rust spots. one on the passenger side. i forgot where exactly, but it is rather small. and one on the trunk that is bubling. cheap fixes though. it is an 11 sec vr4. very clean. paint is not faded much. he also has a low 12 sec evo, a 10 sec talon, and he just sold a gsx. so he knows how to tune, and care for mitsus. he also has 2 sets of very nice tires and rims for the car. the tires and rims alone are worth 2gs. i think he wants 6k or 7k. pm me if interested in pics and more specs.

 

They are bloody money pits! I have a 3000 GT VR4 and now I've bought an EVO. I must be out of my mind!
