NSW Hello from Sydney...

[CraigR]

Hi guys!

I'm Craig from Sydney, and I've just jumped into a '97 Galant VR-4.
Ever since my brother picked up his Legnum 6 months ago, I have always sort of had my eyes peeled for a Galant (or Legnum) that hadn't been tampered with too much.

I found one...

Only power modifications are a 3-port and a tune, making approximately 160wkw, tuned by Steve at TME.
I always like to start with a blank canvas.

After owning a built 2.2 Evo 8 pushing 400wkw, and an Evo X with over 250wkw, I'm not exactly wow'd by the power of these cars, but they are perfect streeters with plenty of low-mid range pull, something which my last 2 cars seriously lacked. Something different..

Welcome to the club, Craig. Looks like a nice car -- I think I saw this one for sale on Gumtree. Has the major service been done yet? Yes, these are nice cars to drive

 

[CraigR]

You may well have done, I actually saw it on carsales.
Yep, major service has been done, all engine mounts replaced etc. The PO paid an invoice for almost $4500 which also included a TME clutch, so I'm happy about that!

Welcome aboard, Craig.

I'm curious who the previous owner was. If it was tuned by Steve, it could be from the forum.

[CraigR]

That is a most excellent buy then! Congrats!

 

[trotty]

Welcome. And hope
To see u at a meet sometime!!

 

[TME_Steve]

Previous owner was pretty quiet but Def was on here. Nice buy Craig

 

[GMan]

Oh yeah, I remember this one now. He had his car tuned on the same day as me. Had great results for a car that was basically stock. Some cars are just really well-sorted.

I thought I saw this galant up for sale again? looking for $7500 with a recent full service, engine mounts and TME clutch. silver one? Looks really neat

 

[CraigR]

Unfortunately, it is for sale. I didn't know a week after buying this car that I would be buying a unit! Timing is all wrong, and need to sell to obtain the funds for the rest if my deposit!
I'm looking to sell for $6500 as rego is due soon! Well worth the money!
