For sale: my Galant...

[ygoslo]

...well not really but kinda, cos I just found this. WOW!

http://www.carsales.com.au/used-car...__No=0&trecs=7&state_id=82&__sid=120AE7A7AC07

18x13 rear wheels... All it needs is a manual conversion, airrunner suspension and some crazy VIP interior additions. The GTE conversion can come later. Not too often that you see cars this awesome outside Japan!

 

[bradc]

sorry but it doesnt do much for me

 

[Guest]

yeah man sorry... first thing i did when it popped up was screw my face up and make an odd noise... i would defs NOT sell a galant for that

 

[king_panther]

^^^ +3

Sorry man, that just looks grossed out to me .... like something from my old neighbourhood in western Sydney. Even the name is the same.

Surprised it wasn't listed with the words fully, sik, or cuz anywhere in the description.

It's a non turbo... don't really need to say anymore than that.

Tim man...
I'm sure you've got better taste than that.

i didnt even realise that....wondered why it was cheap. do like deep dish wheels though

 

[Peter_D]

Not my idea of style.

 

[JRVR4]

i dont mind a bit of rice, but thats to the extreme. If it was manual and turbs i'd have it though.

 

[unclepaulie]

rip the kit and wing/whale tail off, keep the guards, paint it black, bag it and TT1UZ convo,



something id drive lol

 

[happymatch]

hmm. Not my taste either. from twin turbo to N/A and also 1991?? hmm.. not worth it i guess

 

[frozen]

lol sorry to make the thread a bit of a broken record but yeah no... not my taste either

 

[pu-11-me]

18x13! Holy crap lol..... The car is ass but the wheels are certainly interesting

My mate has 22x12's but thats certainly no 18x13

 

[Tom]

OMG that looks ridiculous! Haha how mad

I posted this to get a reaction and it is interesting to see people's reactions to true 90s VIP style. It does seem to be a polarising thing but I really do love it. I think it is because it is a very regionally based thing - this car could only have come from Japan. I think you're off the mark with the "rice" comments because this car is something else. You can't really compare it to the Australian Autosalon style Lancers and Civics and stuff.

I think the number 1 reason I love it is that you'd never see a car like this in Australia. I love all the styles that are uniquely Japanese (the crazy nostalgic cars, decotora, etc) and this is just another one of them.

Having said that about no one in Australia building a car like this though, there's an Aristo in the build in Melbourne that I'm keeping a close eye on. He has 19x20 inch wheels with really low offset to go on, and he's going nuts on the interior including building a cocktail bar between the rear seats...

You knew how people would react lol....

Is the bodykit made from cardboard?

 

[smitty]

F*** me thats a bit overboard! Oh well, each to their own...

 

[matchtheclown]

I love that classic jap tuner look. But I think the car is getting a little on the newer side to get away with it.

 

[ygoslo]

Just to show you guys that it isn't all that over the top by comparison...

And if you want proper extreme:

 

[montgomery]

I ****ing love drity dirty Vip stuff!!!!
