Mitsubishi Galant VR4 - Hello from UK

[swinks]

HI!
I'd like to say hello to everyone here :wavey:
Just popped around and found this forum quite interesting.

I'm owner of Mitsubishi Galant VR4 from 1997. Bit modified but nothing serious. More details and piccys you will find in my updated "garage" area.

'97 means the 8th generation Galant with 6A13 twin turbo engine?

Yes, it's a 8th gen of Galant. Model EC5A with 6A13TT engine, originally tiptronic, but converted for manual Evo 6 gearbox.

Right guys.
Garage updated. Did some changes and dyno run few days ago.

Wow very rare car! Please post the pics, I'm very curious to see. In the basement of my apartment there's also one VR4 which seems never gets driven out!

No problems, here some more pictures. But beware, it's not a show car, just my pride and joy for a track and rally use, so usual wear and tear.

hi,
nice car u have there,
just wondering, how did u fit an evo6 gbox inside your 6a13tt?
did u use the gear internals or the whole e6 gbox?

 

[swinks]

I used whole E6 gearbox. It's almost p&p job. Two mount points on a top of bellhousing need to be slightly relocated. Also some wiggle with inner shaft, but can't remember what was the issue, anyway nothing major.
