Hey everyone. Just thought I'd share up my new buy. I picked the car up about a month ago. I've got a 97 GSX that I'm in the process of doing a 2.3LR 6466 build and restore, but have child due at the end of November. So I had to put the GSX on the back
burner and find something more child friendly. I've always wanted a Galant VR4 but never found any local, and the ones I seen on Craigslist were outrageously priced. That leads me to my new purchase. Here it is. 814/2000. The car carries a salvage title because it was involved in a hail storm.
When I picked the car up it wasn't running right, massive boost leak somewhere. Here is a list of all mods on the car.
Chassis has 160k on it, motor/trans mileage is unknown but not original.
720 injectors
BC springs and retainers
Honda civic half radiator
punishment racing 02 housing
tial 38mm external wastegate with dump tube
PTE 5431e turbo
2g MAF
3in turbo back exhaust
wally 255 fuel pump
Keydiver chip setup for 720 injectors
Starion FMIC
new timing belt and head gasket
Forced performance intake tube
Also found these parts in the trunk uninstalled.
ACT clutch
AEM Wideband O2 gauge and boost gauge
SS turbo drain line
battery relocation kit

My future plans for the car are as follows,
VRSF 1g FMIC Kit
Mitsu MLS headgasket and ARP studs.
5 lug swap
4bolt rear and 4ws delete.
F&R subframe and suspension bushings.
Coilovers
Evo interior swap
Bodywork/Repaint
Get the car to Daily status.

Then after the 5431 gives in and blows my plans will be FP black and DSMlink with some bigger injectors.

I will upload some pics here shortly. I'm having issues uploading them from my phone.

Here it is the day I got iT, and on the way home

Even though I don't know you, I'm trying not to hate you. I was a couple days from going to get this car, but was on vacation in Florida when you beat me to it. I even had rental trucks priced out. Stupid Disney World. Congrats on the steal. It sounded like it had potential. I was told the a/c was stripped. Did they leave all the interior pieces or did they do a full removal.

Sorry, it was a steal for what I ended up paying for it. I'm not real sure about the A/C to be honest, I believe all the interior stuff is still there, but I haven't checked because I won't be using A/C.

No worries. Glad to see its in good hands. I was just bhurt that it was on sale for a year but then the week I decide I want it someone snatches it. Good luck with the build.
