    I want OUT!! And I need your support! MICHIGAN

    Yeah, 6 VR4's along with a GGSX, and a couple of GS's. I cant bring my self to do anything with them becasue eventuallly I would like them for my children to drive as a "classic" when they are old enough. My son and daughter love rideing in dads loud brick. So I will just forget about them for now.

    I want OUT!! And I need your support! MICHIGAN

    Good suggestions all around, however I dont really care about the money to say I want to make a living off these. I have already been doing that for the last 10 years and have sold thousands of dollars worth of parts off the cars. I just did it in other avenues rather than the common ones such...

    Need opinions/ideas on custom intake

    Yeah, I heard the same thing, but after a lot of discussion with a few people, we figured it wouldnt make to much of a difference. Besides, I cant imagine that anything in the sensor would be disrupted by a gravitational pull.

    Or if you had your own tools and some fab skills, you could make your own to mount/re-mount it in any location that suits your needs better.

    Did a turbo tranny swap, now i cant get it into gear when car is running

    I would check it all out. Ther is possiblilities that it is not the brackets, Arms, cables, or even the clutch.A very common problem with these cars is the clutch pedal assembly itself. The arm and bushings will wear out and cause a problem with the mastercylinder. Basically , when this...

    Did a turbo tranny swap, now i cant get it into gear when car is running

    Definetly!If the shifter assembly and cables are 91, and the bracket and arms are 90, then the shifter arms would not have full throw. Inturn, this would not allow the gears to completely ingage which would cause grinding.Just ask anyone that had ever put a 90 transmission in with out...

    Did a turbo tranny swap, now i cant get it into gear when car is running

    If you click on the link in my first post, it shows you th edifferences in the brackets. It is pretty easy to identify the 90 and 91 brackets. The shifter arms on the otherhand need to be measured.

    Did a turbo tranny swap, now i cant get it into gear when car is running

    What year transmission did you put in the car? If it is a 90, you need to change the shifter arms and brackets. Look at the post linked below to see if the brackets are the same or different. Basically all you would have to do if they are different, is change them over from your old...

    How To: Shifter cable and brackets: Diff. between 90-91 DSM & VR4 trans

    I had posted this a while ago in another thread to show what to look for, but I thought I would start a seperate thread just for them so here it is.This is just to show the difference and similarities between GVR4's and DSM's with the difference pointed out about the missconception of the...

    Looking for Pics of GVR4's and #'s

    I have been putting together a file of all the Galant VR4's that I can find from forum to forum. The reason I started this, was to narrow down what # of 2000 my 91Summit white VR4 is.

    As the title states, I am looking for any info on #1387 of 2000.I picked it up a few months back out of Kentucky, and was told it use to reside in Ohio. If there is anyone here that did, or may have known who owned it, please let me know. Just trying to get some history. ;)...

    Brakes locked up I'm stumped

    Yeah it is a good possibility, but if you say that both on one side are sticking, you might have fluid control problems. I.E. proportioning (s.p.?) valve . But it would be good to start at the brake calipers. Jack up the car in the front and put it in nuetral and try to spin the wheel that was...

    One size bigger turbo bolts?

    Let me know how long of bolt it is that you need and I should probably have something that is the right size and of the right grade hardness for you. I have a large supply of mitsu bolts taken off the cars that I have scraped out. I use sub frame bolt in my exshust housing (o2 to...

    Car wont start

    Well if it has spark, it might not be getting any fuel, You can check to see if the pump is running by having a friend roll the car over while you either listen at the gas door with the cap off(to hear it buzz), or you can roll it over for about 10 sec, and then pull the return line off the fuel...

    Shouldnt my coil ground here..only 2 cyl work

    I too have had the transistor fail and the coil only fired on two. I have used non turbo P.T.s on turbo vehicles, it just has to match the plug (i.e. 90's only on 90's, and 91 up on 91 up)This is a good source for used parts. http://www.car-part.com/Steve. :dsm: :talon: :laser:

    My car died today....and NOW

    Drivers side corner of the tank. I think that it is either a 22mm or 24 mm. If your tank has a bolt right in the middle toward the back, DO NOT TAKE THAT ONE OUT!! It is the bolt that holds the sending unit in place, and some times you cant get the bolt started back in.!! Steve. :thumb:

    My car died today....and NOW

    Sounds like when you ran it out, you sucked crap that was sitting on the bottom of the tank in to the lines. I would sugest changing the fuel filter, and then go from there. Maybe even drain the tank to see if there is anything that comes out.Steve. :laser: :talon: :dsm:

    radiator

    Granted, the thermostat and the fans and the water pump, are all common problems, but the radiator is a very big "odd" in the cooling system. Radiators should be flushed regularly (once a year) because of the corrosion that builds up in them. I have had radiators that looked exceptional, but...

    My POOR E BRAKE!

    It could of done one or the other or both. I have had them break, and just come off. The reason that they will fall off is because the caliper will freeze up when you pull the cable, and then when you release the cable, it will come out of the pivot arm, unless the keeper is still in there. They...

    Engine blocks

    No, the bare blocks are basicly the same configuration, but the turbo block has oil injectors in the bottm to spray and cool the pistons. The trannies are different gear ratios and the turbo has larger internals and a heavier housing to handle the torque and power increase.Steve. :talon...

You should be able to get it out with out removing the rail, but sometimes they are a bi***. So you might have...

    Transfer Case Question

    Hope that it is a seal. There is apossibility that since you felt a violent shake that it could be the center diff pin exploded. I just changed a tranny because of that. It came through the housing and made the tranny shake. so inspect it good.Steve. :talon: :laser: :dsm:

    Bell housing crack [Merged 2-9]

    You will first have to take the tranny off to do it correctly. then, as long as you still have the ear that broke off, youll have to clean up the block and the ear. Then weld it back on with nickle rod. Do you have any welding experience or no some one that does? This is not really a job for...

This was letting the tranny seperate, and when you would push in the clutch, the transfer...
