TC05 8 valver

Not much to look at, but thought'd I'd fill this section up a bit :)

hey what engine does you galant vx-s use, turbo or non turbo 4g63?
Is it fwd or 4wd?

Just asking coz ive never heard of a vx-s so just wondering what it was.

VX-S 2.0 DOHC non turbo FWD
VZ-S 2.0 DOHC non turbo FWD
MX-4 2.0 DOHC non turbo 4WD
VR-4 2.0 DOHC turbo intercooled 4WD

Nice car, but trying to sell it for my Starion's sake :)

Oh and the VZ-S and VX-S look identical to VR4's. They have the same body ktis etc, and the VX-S or VZ-S logos are in that nice gold emblem like the VR4. They're the non-turbo sports Galant.

Looking good there :) but 86 and 4 stud? Thats IT, i give up trying to figure out a system for JAp import starions! what you see is what you get! :P

definately wierd to see the JA pillar vents and mirrors on an 86! i'm with u prozac, what u c is what u get! lol

haha yeah and its all factory. GSR-3 J-spec

Vents dont do anything though, its kind of like 1980's rice factor.

I honestly thought all Starions were 4x114.3 until I came on here.

Even has the digital dashboard stock in it. 133,000Km on clock.

Cost $1500NZD, then heaps on repairs when the UV joint seized

oh and crap
its a 1985 not 1986

I had better fix the thread title!

That makes way more sense! but you still have the mice front sin spoiler! arghhhhH!!? Hahaha, looks like a damn nice ride tho, i dig that colour scheme.

I just noticed, that cars the same colour as borbet

Yeah I saw an identical model outside my work the other day.

Appearance was exactly the same, except where mine says 'GSR-III' it says 'GSR-II' :)

It had all the same vents, scoops and colour scheme too.

Having a few difficulties at the moment, battery not holding its charge.

So yesterday, push it down a hill and try to jump start - that didn't work, real wheels just went in to a skid, this had me worried.

Tried jump starting that didn't work

Did the same with new cables, and w00t IT WAS ALIVE

Took it for a drive and wastegate is getting worse, which means more power (before boost cut hits anyway), had huge amount of fun for 30 minutes of driving around.

Was very quick for stock, and loved driving it again, its off the road at the moment, so having to drive Galant everywhere :( was nice to take her out again.

:o
looks like some-one's got their work cut out.
Nice ride, great starting point. I've got to do my c.v boots i think i'll get onto that straight away.
:D

Nothing like a bottle of "Fresh Up" to fix up a motor hey :D
