That looks just like our spolier.

[mrjaydeeone]

thanks :)

which lenses are you speaking of?
the ones on the other sides of the fog lights?
If so I know some members that hooked those up to their turnsignals and they flash when they put on the turn signal. You could wire them to light up with the fog lights. or you can wire them to the turn signals in such a way that they go on solid when you signal and they could be a cornering light

[WarmAndSCSI]

I thought that's how their spoiler was, also. The VR-4's I've seen pictures of all have that spoiler. I dunno.

[icweirdppl]

sounds cool
what would be cool is to shove some xenons in there and then i can have some blind lights too haha lol

may as well make some sort of use out of them though

haha so what are they hooked up to now? Nothing? They don't go on at all?

[dknight3]

sexy! what happened to the black steering wheel?

[komodo]

Nice!!
WHOA CASSETTE?! I havn't seen that since I last drove in my 89er!

[icweirdppl]

haha so what are they hooked up to now? Nothing? They don't go on at all?

yeah they dont seem to do anything only the ones that are on in the pictures go...


sexy! what happened to the black steering wheel?

Its still the same one and black... its just really sunny outside... and the flash probably bounced off it too lol


Nice!!
WHOA CASSETTE?! I havn't seen that since I last drove in my 89er!

yeah i tried to take the screws outta the side of it and the screw driver just ripped it apart... so i left it there haha

Cassette or not that's still a nice ride!
And now you can even cruise around town and kick back to some old jams on Cassette...
Last time I was driving my 89 Cutlass my friend decided to pop in an "Aqua" tape he found in the glove compartment.. he stuck it in and it got stuck for 5 days. The radio was also acting up so we HAD to listen to Aqua[unless we turned the volume off]

nah its not plugged in... its just sitting there because i cant get it out lol
pioneer underneath is doing the work :)

[spdracr]

since i started modding i decided not to go with jdm bumpers but everytime i see sexy pics like these i get second thought :(

[icweirdppl]

i personally reckon the kit on these is sexier than the vr4 equivalent

[DOHCstunr]

needs more headunits

[icweirdppl]

more?

[djflex167]

looks nice!! any more picz!!

[icweirdppl]

whats left to take photos of? lol

[Reelax]

thanks :)

they are cornering flood lights. when u put ur signal indicator on, the side that u are signaling to should light up steady. probably the reason you haven't noticed them ever being on is because you are inside the car when they go on, never outside to witness it. as cornering lights, both sides should never be on at the same time (unless you could turn in 2 directions at once, haha).

[jimmy_o2]

u guys r funny hahaha ps nice ride g like it alot cant wait to get mine started

[Goku]

Nice ride man,

I know that car.... is that you Johnny ?

As Reelax said, the outer lights will only light up while you're indicating on that side.
Also, remove the old headunit and move the pioneer one up, then put a pocket underneath it, we got them at my work, they're about $30.

[fatal1]

looks good man...needs a drop though, that would set it off

[fuel]

i personally reckon the kit on these is sexier than the vr4 equivalent

Dude the VR-4s of the same year have the exact same bodykit - yours is a facelift model and has the same kit as the facelift VR-4. Vientos are meant to look like VR-4s but with a more conservative engine.

[Goku]

you mean gas guzzling engine :P

[fuel]

I drove one of them for about 500kms and I found it to be quite economical considering the engine size and the weight of the car. Mind you it was mostly open road driving from Hamilton to close to Wellington. Wasn't the most powerful car in the world though. I've been looking out for a facelift EA3A for my folks, they want to upgrade their trusty Sigma they've had since new :P

I had a look this morning before work while it was still semi dark and it does exactly that :D soo cool lol

yup tis me :D

And as i said i cant get the screws outta the side of the old headunit so i just pulled the pocket out and put it in the boot and put the new one in its plates... its also why i want a new set of plates to mount it in

oh? ok lol

the only i test drove a 96 vr4 and its bodykit was way different so thats what i was comparing it too lol

[fuel]

That's because a '96 is pre-facelift while a '98 is a facelift model. You catch me?

The pre-facelift Vientos look equally as yuck as the pre-facelift VR-4s.

[djflex167]

the rear seats if you can't tell!!

I have to ask, is the GDi a diesel model or what?

I've been around Mitsus for almost all my life and I still don't know what the GDi designation stands as?

The GDi is the 2.4l engine ;) 150bhp Got the same engine over here but without the plastic :P

i had a look under plastic while i was putting it on lol
it looks better with the cover for some reason lol

where is the throttle body on these engines? %%%%ed if i can find it lol

[ShiZnitH]

Yeah, it looks much better with the plastic actually :P Give the plastic a paint job, that would look much better :D

[nokcy21]

wish the usdm had those dash like the jdm ones :x

[ShiZnitH]

EU-Spec has the same interior but we also have the Momo steering wheel and Hi-Contrast Dials :)

You have to take the plastic cover off, it's down the back.....

4g63lover:

GDi = Gasoline Direct injection system ( Basically it's crap unless you live in japan and run 100 octane fuel in it. )

as opposed to the DiD which is Direct inject Diesel, which the Pajero's ( Montero ) have.

[icweirdppl]

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b55/icweirdppl/Car/Galant/PIC_0113.jpg
where do they hide the spark plugs in this thing?
theres no sure sign of them or even the leads... lol

[skyhigh90210]

everything should be under that big plastic cover

[icweirdppl]

all thats under the cover is 4 plugs and corrogated textured big chunk o metal lol

[9G]

[Goku]

i wonder how that engine performs! is it the same as the one in here??

Kind of, it's the same block, but different heads etc.... still a 4G64, but with GDI, which is slow and crappy, unless you run 100+ octane in japan

[fuel]

contrary to popular belief the GDI engine can run on lower octane just fine. The ECU is more than capable of learning a new ignition and fuel map curve. It'll just run alot more efficient on higher octane though. Because of its three stage burn, it runs lean by nature anyway. It's quite complex how GDI works, and the main problem with them is the earlier ones clogging up the inlet manifold, as they utilise masses of EGR which would cake up on the alloy intakes. The later ones run a bakelite manifold with smooth insides which stops the carbon from building up.

Have a mate who works at Mitsubishi and knows these GDIs inside out, he is the guy who trains up the technicians on how to service and repair them. In short the GDIs are not that suited to our fuel here though, the 2.4s are marginally better than the 1.8s.

[icweirdppl]

does this have really bright lights or something?
for as long as ive had this people flash there highs at me when im driving with my lows on... really pisses me off... doesnt light up any better than the hillman so i dont get people problem...

Yep, but the thing is, they still melt pistons even when they have been tuned to run on 95, 98 is still the better option.....

Nice job on that system. Did you do it yourself?

Also, is your amp in the package tray? I wanted to do that! I thought about it, but I am too scared that it might get stolen...

I want a rear wiper.. I also like how your trunk garnish is one whole peice where the lisence plate goes..
