Re: Daily Driven DSM? Reliable? How?

I love the Evo but too broke to find one so I am going to have to go older

I think I found a Galant VR4. I know they are not a DSM and bigger and heavier however I think it will work for a balance between comfort and speed (like the balance between the ying and the yang... or something like that)
I am going to look at it tomarrow to see how it drives. It does have it faults like the engine compartment is kind of dirty, it does have its spots of rust in the usuall spots in minnesota and missing the radio it needs a new tire and the drivers side head rest is missing and it runs kind of choppy because it has been sitting for quite some time and 150K for mileage well there is other stuff...
however given the right TLC i bet i can make it hall ass!!! and lots of ass with 3 people in back

I know i just talked about reliable and what I am going to do is be happy (yes it will be hard) with 200 hp (that still fast for a lot of cars) and fix it up comfortably and get some suspension equipment on there so it handles nicely...

Oh NO i am already falling in love with it and making plans, this is bad!


I should be pretty good at 200hp with stock and have it be reliable right? How people ruin their cars is that they overboost them all the time.

How are these cars on autox with the all wheel drive and all wheel steering?

Any other things i should think of when I look at this car?

O yeah pr_ricer where are you from?
How much you buying it for? If you decide not to get it let me know i love the gvr4's.
