Hi All,
I recently wrote an introduction thread on galantvr4.org so Ill just copy and paste:
My name is Ben, Im 19, and Im a student at Virginia Tech. I like candle-lit dinners, long walks on the beach, and minty fresh Galant VR4s . I recently acquired this incredible marvel of modern mechanics from my grandfather in San Antonio. He was the originial owner in '91 and paid approx. $23,000 for the vehicle at that time. Since then, he rarely drove the car, kept it extremely clean, and always had it garaged. Instead of selling the nile black model 197/2000 to a mitsu dealer in texas for the $7,000 that he was offered for it, he decided to keep it in the family. *Enter me* Obsessed car freak who was scrubbing dishes in a dining hall at VT to save for a 300ZX. Over winter break, my father and I bought one-way plane tickets to San Antonio, and drove back the VR4 and a '98 626 for an incredibly generous price. Ive only been home a few days, but its been inspected, emissions tested, oil changed, and had timing belt and tensioner replaced. I forgot to mention that it only has 65,000 miles on the odo, and its bone stock. I know there are at least two VR4 guys on these boards so I hope to learn a lot from you guys and hopefully get a chance to see your cars in person. Here are some pics, sorry if theyre rediculously large:
