I just got her back from the shop after a timing belt change and her first water pump replacement. Hard to believe with that kind of mileage. The mechanic didn't think it even needed to be changed, until I told him the mileage and that I was the original owner. Any other 7G's with over 250,000 miles? I love this car! (forget my user name)
i hate your galant.
I believe Seth is getting ready to his the 1/4 million mile mark on his 7g.
I still got a long way to go..130.000:cool:
I met a guy when I was getting my fiance's Endeavor serviced in the customer lounge. He owned a 1997 Galant and he was getting his serviced. We started talking about my 7g and his 7g and eventually found out his had 412,000 miles on it. He travels up and down the east coast alot and sometime cross country. Still on the original motor and original 5 speed tranny too. The only thing major he said that broke was the fuel pump gave up at around 300,000 miles and the rear passenger side window motor took a crap around 160,000. I had to see it to believe it...so I saw his repair order and it confirmed his 7g had 412,000 miles on the Odo :cool:
Haha 412k is insane. Im just over 220k now original engine. The auto trans was replaced 2 times that I am aware of, the last time it was replaced I think it only lasted 50 or 60k. But when I got it, I threw in my 5spd so.
im on 205k, and ive put 10k for the last 12 months
On the body and chassis I am st 230k+..but I had the engine replaced because that damn balance shaft belt snapped and fucked me over! SO now I have like...23k+ on the engine and the trans has less...I should have the car for another 11 years at least!
dam i have a while to go
im only at 92K
^^^wow only, mine is in the 230 k also
127k and toooo many fuckin problems that IVE fixed to list not to mention whatever the guy had to fix that owned it...... rebuilt motor has 11k on it.. I bought the car with 96k on it.. do the math........................ Every 6-10 months it goes down for major work.......... I hate it.. But i love my car!
260K and climbing. Heres what Ive had to do to it:
5 speed swap (originally paid 100 bucks for the car to my buddy, had a bad auto and no front bumper cover)
98 front end swap
clutch
Timing belt/WP/belts
Poly bushing kit
brake rotors/pads
distributor (buddy bought it at autozone, lifetime warranty!! :)
New GR-2's (ALSO under lifetime warranty!)
tires
Thats it. Have driven the car 7 years, never left me stranded. I will ALWAYS have a galant.
Just yesterday I swapped in a motor out of a 97. Mine still ran fine but used some oil (valve seals) and I got a smokin deal on a low mileage motor (250 bucks) so I replaced the original. We pulled the crank journals and the bearing surfaces are perfect. Try that with a Toyota. Mitsus are VERY underrated. If you take care of them, and understand the basics of maintenence and adjustments then they go forever.
I've driven 125k between two Galants. Does that count?
the 7g is on 160K and its had its distributor changed and thats about it, and the tranny took a crap at 159k
the 8g is catching up fast at 125k
Ive got 132k and havent changed my oil for the past 60k. Still runs fine!:smt051
im pretty sure this is about 7gs 6g72galant, and why wouldnt you change your oil... sure 5-8k okay instead of the 3... but 60k?
Dude its been running FINE. No need to change your oil. Just change your filter and youre all set to go. Sure you may lose a bit of oil with each filter change. But hey, less fluid, less weight!:cool:Quote:

Ive done so much to it maintenance wise it would be silly for me to get rid of it
Off topic G-Rim check your pm :P
im with kolio i just rolled over 97k today..just breakin her in..got her at 69k and already a 5spd in it...im the 2nd owner n the first owner was an old guy lmao
220000 on mine
191,000 for me. galants ftw
Ive got a long way to go; 97 with 69k.
ya im at 95 now and i doubt the car will reach over 105K anytime soon. yay for a new car!
galant is being a weekend car now!
Mines at 178k on its second auto trans (first one cracked one me). Bought the car with 120k on it in 2006 shows you how much i drive.
Got her for $900 from my best friend.
when I had my galant it was at 130k with the timing belt that broke 3 different times havent seen it since I gave her away, wonder if she is still around or in the yard
i have 117,000 on the original trans!yay
Mine is 6A12 at 145000.............KM
so that's like under 100k miles. JDM cars ftw. :p
my 95 has around 215k with original engine and tranny. bought it with around 50k
here's my 6G ticking over to 400,000

though.. 400,000kms = 250,000miles
2g has the same motor basically minus the crankwalk. I hit 189,200 today on the original motor.
