i'm 99.9% sure that "GSR-4" is made up

Talonryda17 · 04-17-2003, 08:19 AM

photoshop?

interesting.. He does have GSX body kit, but only on tail pipe...

Anyone knows where about in CA was this pic taken ?

MindBlowin03 · 04-17-2003, 02:42 PM

I remember seeing a prototype brochure thing from 1988. I think the Eclipse GSX was originally going to be called the GSR-4, but I could be wrong.

DrZiplok · 04-17-2003, 03:10 PM

Heh. I like the "hot air intake" on the GGSX. 8)

EvilGalantGSX · 04-17-2003, 03:40 PM

Ive never got around to taking that all all and just fit a cone filter on the end.

I was going to do it today but its not running yet. and decided not to.

GSR4 is the Japanese (JDM) badging for the Eclipse GSX.

Case closed.

No I didn't swap anything. care came with the USDM GVR-4 body package. wheels are the same just not color coded like the VR-4. THe only thing I've done to it thus far is replaced the trans. and other misc. bad parts. I'm waiting for more money to start scrounging for parts to do the vr-4 changeover... until then, it's stock

EvilGalantGSX · 04-19-2003, 05:17 AM

I was woundering, i just noticed the crome on the grill and thought maybe you changed some parts over. I might Change mine out just becouse i like crome.

GalantGSR91 · 04-19-2003, 05:21 AM

I'm gonna cut the crill part out, but not the chrome part...gonna put some kinda wire mesh behind it. then color code the grill to match the body.

EvilGalantGSX · 04-19-2003, 05:27 AM

I would like to find some light wheels to put on it and then find some adjustable springs or spring strut combo. Then a pacesetter header. it will probably be a while before a turbo conversion.

GalantGSR91 · 04-19-2003, 05:37 AM

I haven't had any luck with finding any shocks or springs other than Koni coil-overs...especially for my car...it's almost impossible to find anything to replace the air suspension (which is stock

) have you thought of checkin someone else for your header? I'm thinking of using an extrude honed exhaust manifold for a bit before searching for tubular header for a turbo.

The GSR-4 was atop secret cold war weapon to be used to carry CIA operatives in high speed across Soviet highways and over the autobahn. This vehicle is outfitted with a list of secret weapory that even 00? would excerise his liscence to kill just to posses it. Unfortunatley since all of you have seen it, YOU MUST BE LIQUIDATED MMUUUAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Hey I figured it out, from 90 to 91 they changed the grills on the Galant.
There is a 91 Galant GSX on EBAY right now and its got your grill.

GalantGSR91 · 04-19-2003, 07:48 PM

who you gettin your ECU through? And where'd you find the shocks?

EvilGalantGSX · 04-19-2003, 07:57 PM

I just surched for Galant on Ebay.

Im getting the ECU though a Guy on this board, I cant remember his name right now but i got all the info at home, I was gonna get it last week but bills stacked up and one of my friends that live at my house just FvCKed me over so now im spending all my money just so the gas wont get turned off.

So im pissed at him and the dude with the ECU is probably pissed waiting on my money,..... All my money just seems to vanish. I get paid $700 every 2 weeks and it seems like im broke the next day with nothen to show for it.

GalantGSR91 · 04-19-2003, 08:18 PM

dude, PM me some info please I'm curious because I'm wanting to upgrade the ECU

EvilGalantGSX · 04-19-2003, 09:18 PM

Its not a specil super ugraded ECU, I think its out of a 90 Laser 4G63 N/T. I am just getting it to replace mine that is bad.

GalantGSR91 · 04-19-2003, 09:21 PM

aaah I see... I misunderstood :o ater you just workin on replacing broken parts? or have you started doing any mods yet?

EvilGalantGSX · 04-19-2003, 09:56 PM

Other than the cd player its 100 percent stock.

Some guy's I autocross with use those KYB shocks. One has a ACR neon that is a blast and handles great with the Falkin Azenes. He lets me drive it on the fun runs.

I cant freaking wait till i get it back on the road, I just love driving a 5speed, Ill just park the saturn and use it for road trips and realy hot days, good AC.

I need to sell my Lincoln to make some extra cash.
