Hey all-

My name is Randy, I recently picked up a 1991 Galant VR4 (1392/2000). I had a couple of DSM'S many moons ago, but sold them when I got tired on working on them. I'm hoping to change that this time around .

Background on the car:

I purchased 1392 from a gentleman in Seattle. Hopped on a plane one day and drove it 2500 miles to St Louis. It may seem crazy to others buying a 23yr old car 2500 miles away, it made perfect sense to me .

The car isn't stock. It sports a 4g64/4g63 hybrid built by Andre from Pina Motorsports in 2007. Boost is set to only 6psi, but the torque makes up for the rest. A great daily driver in my books.

Here's a partial build thread circa 2007-2008

Not much to see in the engine bay, and it still looks stock and its pretty dirty at the moment. I am including the its 2007 build from the PO on my first post.[DOUBLEPOST=1411678599][/DOUBLEPOST]

Thanks! It was pretty crazy, especially when the car decided to eat the front wheel bearing in the middle of the night somewhere in BFE Idaho. Needless to say, I was very scared ended up driving it the way it was for 500 until I found a Pepboys in Utah to service the car for me (it was a Sunday) Oh well, YOLO!

Nice catch men colectors cars are allways unique

I'm right across the river. St. Jacob,IL. Good to see some local dsms and nice find, looks great!

Lucky dog. Any plans to modify the car further or do you plan on keeping it as is?

Clean body. engine bay pics?

Thanks for the fuzzy welcome

Welcome!!!
