So, the title speaks for itself https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif
Yes, I got it. She is the most beautiful of all 11 Galant GTi-s DOHC that are driving in my country. She is a great car, I got it for $2200 USD - she has 208.000 kilometers, really nice maintained, from in and out - engine works perfect, she has new all 4 discs and brake-plates, new timing belt and all other belts and tensioner, just changed oil, filters, brake fluid, NGK spark plugs etc... Perfect interior! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif
It is E39A 4G63 DOHC with manual tranny - 110kw/150HP - AWD, 4WS, AC, All power, ABS etc...
Here are some low quality pictures I just took when I got it home. I'll take some nice pictures tomorow or on Sunday, when I wash and polish her https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif
Anyway... This is like the biggest dream of last 4 years has come true.
The only thing that former owner didn't manage to change yet (but has already an apointment at mechanic on wednesday) are schocks... Although it didn't feel weird at all... Yes, they are a little "soft" but I will do them soon.
Just wanted to share my happyness with you buddyes first.

Here are those quick taken pictures:

OK, I got the point, but I don't plan this yet... I just got the car - first I'll drop her a bit and probably get some high performance clutch. I think this one is still stock and I have strange filling that it wont last long anymore :wink:

Yes, you're right - but first I'll take care of lowering the car https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif
This will come.. I will find them! I've found JDM clear corners - I'll find fogs too :wink:

Cant see the front bumper, is it the same as mine?
I am looking for a fog light too, but i only need one of them.

Here is picture from the front... Bumper is a little bent, but I'll fix this when I do a new paint job 8)
Is it the same as your's Mark?
BTW: Do you see part of my good old white SOHC on the right of the picture https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

Buggared if i can tell, Get down on your knees man and take another pic :-)
it could be, i think i see the holes for the driving lights.



<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>BTW: Do you see part of my good old white SOHC on the right of the picture </div>.

the poor old thing, what you gunna do with that. For a start you should swap the wheels over, cos the ones on your Pink car are a little ordinary.

Rasko Da Gama
02-14-2004, 05:20 PM
SOHC was sold on the day I bought DOHC https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif
BTW: I sold those wheels with it...

I am planing new wheels, but not now. In a few weeks I am doing new paint job - the decision about the colour is not final jet, but I think I will paint it metallic BLACK 8)

An yes - there are holes for lights in my bumper... :wink:

those seats look MUCH nicer (sportier) than the ones we get in our galants here in australia! lucky man! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

Yeah, these seats are different... When I had GLSi SOHC - seats were not as comfortable as these are in GTi https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif Lucky me I guess... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

BTW: Here is a picture one friend did in Photoshop for me. Now, I am pretty sure I will paint it metalic Black. I already have the date - I am taking my baby to garage on March 12.th... sooooon https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif 8)

02-20-2004, 10:53 AM
me likes!!!! either set of rims would look good to, but i like the 2nd set better, with the first paint change, and w/o the hood scoop!

Rasko Da Gama
02-20-2004, 11:46 AM
OK, so you tink that totaly metal black is better choice :wink: :?:

I like the one without hood scoop best. Definately. Love the chrome rims, mirrors and door handles!!! Looks shit hot on the black car!! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif :twisted:

the Black looks good, tint the windows as black as you can as well.

might look a bit like an hearse, but then again you do remind me of an Undertaker.

I like the second picture but without the hood scoop. i have in my garage lying around htose chrome trims in the picture. if there's only a way i can give it to you

LoL Marko https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif You really make me laugh with almost every post you write :wink:
BTW: We have some stupid laws that prohibit us to tint windows more than 8% in front and more than 35% in back. And I 'd like to have the same percentage of tint on both sides - front and rear :wink:

do you mean you can only have 8% in front door windows?
man thats stupid. i think ours is 60% or something like that

GalantGuy96
02-29-2004, 05:28 PM
:scratches head:
what? 60% is hella light, how is his......................OHHHHH........nvm.
ok i get it, i thought that u ment his laws were stupid becuase they could put 8 %, but now i know u mean your laws suck.........ok, sorry bout that.

not sure what you are on about, 60% tinting is better than 8%.

in other words the higher the number, the darker it is and the greater the glare reduction or the ability to see through it.

100% tint is best, cant see in cant see out :-)

Nice ride Rasko, dont u just hate these stupid laws and restrictions they have.
Rules were made to be broken, but then again thats prob why mine is off the road https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

Of the road? :shock:
What did they charge you for? AN EVO engine?

DMS GSR
03-15-2004, 03:49 PM
yeah evo, i was lookin for a vr4 but the bloke sold me an evo motor thinkin it was a vr4, bonus for me.
Mainly got done for defective vehicle, no engineers certificate, cause the cop that done me knew that the gsr wasnt a factory turbo, and a nice EPA for being to loud

Heya !! Sorry for being well behind everyone else [I've been hiding out & trying to get some mods done !] But congrats on the new car - I notice you even got a 4WD one - aint they the best ? 8)

You'll soon find the engine responds well to tweaking - I had mine dyno-tested the other day, and got 160Bhp with only a Remus rear exhaust on it !

I haven't had any problems with my clutch sine I've had mine [I've done 115,000 miles now] and it gts some serious greif, believe me !!



So, I guess I'd better go see what else I've missed !

Called the seller today, and he was expecting another buyer to come by his place tomorrow to pick it up. I told him to call me if it didn't go through, but it looks like this one won't be mine. Damn I wanted it bad... same color as my old one and everything.....
