VR4 power.
Here's the short background story. It entails me getting an OWI about 3mo ago. And ive always never really like the grand prix i had. the insurance on the prix would be outrageous for sr22..

On a whim i started looking for cars i might like to upgrade to over the summer. And i stumble across a rather mint Mitsu Galant VR4 672/1000. end up drivin about 400miles to pick it up. Needs some work done on it still though. dont have the money for that yet.. needs new synchros, clutch/pp/ TB, and something about a fuel leak and not getting pressure in the lines..

otherwise, while ive got the time but not the money, I decided why not start putting in some of my equipment ive got laying around.

Right now i have already ran the 0ga to the back, and re-grounded the new 1000CA batt i got for it. and 4ch RCA/remote turn on/ bass knob are all ran also.

It came with a Rather nice JVC that i'll probably end up running still, along with some old school Cerwin Vega comps that sound rather nice, 5 1/4"s all around along with a 3" crossed over on the dash.

well here goes the pictorz: sorry about the quality, 2MP fone camera and i was super ****ed up doing all of this..

You drove 400 miles to pick that up? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
Gvr4's are pretty rare cars, id love to have one. What's wrong with driving 400 miles to get it?

 
firstly, i got the car for $1100 cash in hand. 2nd off. the mods on the car alone parted out are worth just as much as that, not to mention motor/shell...yea Cedar Rapids, IA to St. Cloud, MN was the trek.

ill reformat the pictures sometime tonight(hopefully) since i work in about 20minutes and want to get the rest of the bottom framed up when i get off at 10. lots of work/pictures left.

Meh, definitely not my style. It sounds like it is already on its way to ricer status, but please dont do anything more to it to rice it out.

Its got the same motor as one of the biggest ricers besides Hondas. It is rice in my book. Also, I dont care how fast it will be, its still rice, and will blow up after 25 miles...

lol ok dsm's do have reliabiltiy issues but your just being biased you know nothing of the gvr4 i assume

Honestly, I dont know much about them, because I dont care. They have an Eclipse motor and I am assuming they are heavy as shit like the 3kGTs are. For what it has and the price the OP paid, it sounds like it might be a decent deal. I just would never consider making it faster. I was in the same boat as the OP when I got my car, but I decided to not get rice, and get a much more powerful, and in my opinion, better looking car for around the same price...
