What is my car???

[speedrich]

:shock:

I just purchased a top shape eagle 2000 GTX 1989 and I wonder what would the model be in the original mitsubishi line?!!!

It has a 2.0 liter DOHC engine
5 speed manual tranny
Front wheel drive
4 discs brakes
adjustable suspension
adjustable power steering
power windows
power door locks
cruise control
sound system w/ equalyser

thank you for helping me to know my car!
I'm new in the world of mitsubishi and I'm starting to like it pretty much!!!!

[Godspell]

[speedrich]

I know it is a Galant...but what I don't know is it's model!!

Thank you though!

[Galant GK1]

im not positive what the exact model is but it is definatley a galant just under the Eagle name. Someone on here will kno. I own a 93 so im not to keen on those models.

[[FIN]Teme]

That would be same model as GALANT GTi,

but is the adujstable suspension afterwards installed ?
, normally adjustable suspension is only in 4x4 dynamic model.

[ConceptSleeper]

I'm sure that it was there when it was new....because it seems to be quite a complexe system to install...and there was just one owner before me.

[ConceptSleeper]

any pics?

[J apmetal]

They only did the ECS/adjustable suspension [electrically controlled, anything else is aftermarket] on the 4WD models, I'm sure. If you look at the fuse boxes by the battery in the engine bay there arte spaces there marked for ECS relays - if these relays are not there, you dont have factory-installed adjustable suspension.

If you pass the "ECS Engine Bay Challenge" I suggest getting down & dirty and actually physically checking whether you have 4WD, because you're in for a suprise !

"They only did the ECS/adjustable suspension [electrically controlled, anything else is aftermarket] on the 4WD models, "

yeah, i think so too...

[ConceptSleeper]

Hmm...an echo??????

[J apmetal]

NO; a second opinion https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif

[speedrich]

I have other questions!!
Is an eagle Talon the same as a mitsubishi Eclipse?
Is the suspension of my Galant the same as an Eclipse of the same year?

Thank you very much guys!
I'm just learning!! :oops: :roll:

[Godspell]

Is an eagle Talon the same as a mitsubishi Eclipse?

Ya except for tags and some of the body

Actually, I just looked where you said to ( on the fuse box and in the fuse box) and there is the marks for ECS relays and the relays are still there!!
What I think is that Eagle just made a different combination Galant....but I can assure you that the ECS is factory installed. :shock:

[ConceptSleeper]

why dont you read your vin # to find out?? i'm not sure what ALL the characters mean, but i bet the dealer would!!

Just a suggestion!! :wink:

[speedrich]

:idea: hummm...I should've done that sooner!!
:roll:

[J apmetal]

DONT use Eclipse suspension on your Galant; although I think the springs/shocks would fit, the Galant is heavier [well, duuuuh] so the ratings are different & Eclipse bits will ruin the ride :eek:

[ConceptSleeper]

there are a few companies that make springs for the Galants check out the "parts list" at the top of the 6th gen posts and info section

[speedrich]

yess...I think that Intrax make some springs for the 6th gen Galant.
https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

Well thank you very much everybody!!
I think that this thread is over now!!

Just watch out.... There are AWD and FWD springs that are diferent. If your car is FWD than it's OK, but if your G-ride is AWD go with Whitelines...
http://www.whiteline.com.au/store/ ('http://www.whiteline.com.au/store/') :wink:

[J apmetal]

If your car is AWD spring & damper kits for the VR4 of the same age will fit, since the suspension setup is exactly the same.

[speedrich]

actually it's a FWD... so I think I'll go with Intrax.
thank you very much guys!!

DODGE 2000GTX (AWD,dohc 2.0) (not sure about the 4ws)
EAGLE 2000GTX (AWD, dohc 2.0) (not sure about the 4ws)
GALANT DYNAMIC GTI (4WD,4WS, dohc 2.0)
GALANT GTI (FWD, dohc 2.0)

So FWD eagle2000gtx doesn't exist ?
I didn't find any info of that kind of eagle/mitsubishi..

[speedrich]

I can assure you that my car is not awd.........
so I'm pretty sure it's Ã* disguise Galant GTi..

[[FIN]Teme]

but then it isn't eagle 2000 GTX, cause that's an awd model, no fwd of 2000gtx... as far as i know... or what i found info on the net..

[Prolab]

Here's the break down on models offered by eagle in canada

2000 GTX - offered in 3 trim levels, one with 2.0 SOHC FWD (89-92 with 8 valve, '93 with 16 valve), 2.0 DOHC FWD with adjustable air suspension (Galant GS or Galant GTi) and the last one is 2.0 DOHC AWD w/o air suspension.

They only offered the 4ws on the US spec VR4's.

[[FIN]Teme]

ah canadian models... well that says it all 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

but thx for clearing things up!

weird that I didn't find any info of fwd eagle 2000gtx on the internet...

[speedrich]

well...one thing for sure is that nobody knows what my car is where I live..because the car is so rare........so to make it harder to know...I just remove all tags and stickers off the car...so it's like..."the No-Name car"!! heheheheh.....
maybee I'll put the diamond stars on it...but a little one..:PPP

I hate stickers and tags lol :twisted:

so lets say I'm having a Galant GTi.....right? :roll:

[J apmetal]

I think so [and everyone else seems to aswell]

I'm planning on leaving the "Galant" and "GTi 16v" badges on the back of mine, but removing the dodgy "4 Wheel Drive 4 Wheel Steer" decal off the boot 'cos in Britain, most GTis [Fords, Vauxhalls, etc] tend to be a bit naff, so I should get the "WTF" factor when I go scooting off round the bends with any luck https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

[Rasko Da Gama]

Nice car speedrich! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif

Keep it clean - good luck :wink:

[speedrich]

thank you!!

I don't know for now if I'm going to give her some modds....but if I do such thing...I'll keep it sleeper a bed!!!!!

I'm a sleeper boy and I don't like flashy cars....So the only modds I'll probably do is mechanical upgrades....

heheheheheheeeehheeh https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif

One thing is for sure...this car will definetely stay clean!

[Slammed90Galant]

I have a 90 galant and it's got the electronically controlled suspension from the factory, it's fwd and it's not turbo. Just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents.

[speedrich]

Looks like there's someone like me!!
:roll:

[Dmac1969]

Is it like this?
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid75/p11440adc93b728eff98c613a3f625a4f/fb4ea947.jpg

1991 Gti-16V - 2.0 DOHC - 4WD-4WS , UK spec.

[speedrich]

yess its exactly like yours!!
but yours looks better than mine..talking of the suspension and the wheels!!
great car man!!!!
:twisted:

[Dmac1969]

Speedrich
I have an 8G , that 6G Gti is sitting at the back of my dealers lot , unwanted and unloved , hence the seagulls sh!t!!! I wish i had space for 2 G's as I'd like to take it home and give it some TLC!!

[ConceptSleeper]

is that a tow hitch in that pic?????????

[Dmac1969]

conceptsleeper
Yeah it sure is , and its a Mitsubishi genuine part as well , and as such probably cost the cars 1st owner a weeks wages to get it fitted!!!!

[speedrich]

I would really like to get rid of that ugly hitch!!
:shock:

[Dmac1969]

Well if you can get a cheap flight to London , then a train from Kings Cross station to Berwick upon Tweed , then a taxi to Tweedmouth Mitsubishi...Im sure the guys will loan you the spanners!!!.... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

[ConceptSleeper]

what the hell is a spanner??????? a wrench???

[Dmac1969]

Yeah a wrench , sorry I forgot you lot are using English version 2.0 whilst we are still running version 1.0 over here! 8)

[speedrich]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(ConceptSleeper)</div><div class='quotemain'>what the hell is a spanner??????? a wrench???</div>

mouhahahahha I was just about to ask!!!!
:twisted:

[J apmetal]

DMAC - how much do they want for that GTi ? I'm kinda hunting for a second for some spares I need at the moment, and that has everything I could want https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

do you know if it has a blue/grey kinda check-patterned interior ?

[Dmac1969]

Japmetal
I will have a look for you , and Ill also ask how much they want for it.

[J apmetal]

Thanx; I need a new fuel tank, and as discussed on ClubVR4 'Bishi want £1000+ for a new one anyway - might aswell get a whole car & find the other bits 'n' bobs I want at the same time !

Email me back on "[email protected]" or reply somewhere I'll find it https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

[Dmac1969]

Japmetal
Sorry to say the GTi has been sold!! (isnt it always the way when u want something?) It only went for £600 as well , a good car for that price. If it comes back in in the near future I will give you a shout.

[J apmetal]

Cheers fella; and it IS always the way !!

I had my eye on a Lancer GTi 4WD for about 3 months that I fancied when my 1.6 was written off by some old tart; when my payoff finally came thru, I rang up about the car & it had been sold 3 days before !! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

So here I am in my Galant 4WD with you guys https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

[bongi]

:roll: that's the 1989 mitsu galant which is an eagle brand in other countries.
