1990 GTi

Finali the day came for me...

Today I am picking up that GTi 16V DOHC... AWD, AWS, 150HP, AC...
I think it's the happyest day of my life... It is 1990, it has 203.000 kilometers, but it is in unbelivable good condition. I am picking it up from 50 years old man, who really treated with it very well. He changed all 4 discs last year, the engine starts smoothly, ABS and AC is working fine, it has a few scratches outside, but I'll fix that. The main thing is that the "heart" - engine is in perfect condition for its age.

I'll post some pictures soon...

hey congrats on it man, and yeah, get those pics rolling

Congratulations/

I purchased my VR-4 1991 on December 31 th 2002 with 107000 km in very good condition for 2200 $.

This is a fantastic car/ but i think it eats too much (18l per 100 km)

(now i am sellilg my old red Galant 1989 (1800cc) petrol / LPG ).

Sorry for my poor english/

:shock: Oh my gooooooodnesssss!!! :shock:

RESPECT!!

Where did you find yourself a VR4? Did "you" imorted it from Japan...? On wich side it has steering wheel on left or on right?

Once again: Respect!!!! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/laugh.gif https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/laugh.gif https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/laugh.gif https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/laugh.gif https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/laugh.gif :shock: :shock:

That GTi I told you I've found for me - it wasn't so good actually. So I've changed my mind and I am stayng faithful to my good old 2.0L SOHC AWD...

It would be very hard to let it go - my baby :cry:

i thought you already picked it up?

what was wrong with it?

1.) It had already 203.000km (that's around 130.000 miles) on it :shock:
My car now has 129.000km (thats around 80.000 miles) on it https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...lt/biggrin.gif

2.) It had busted original exhaust (needed a change) https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...efault/sad.gif
On my car I instaled brand new exhaust (oval shape, middle loud -
angry) last summer (as you saw on my pictures)... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...lt/biggrin.gif

3.) It had multiple scratches and rust spots on doors, both bumpers, hood,
and one big rusty spot next to left taillight... :cry:
On my car I don't have any scratches , there were two very little rusty
spots, but I fixed that three months ago... :wink:

4.) It had busted acumulator (batteryes), so we had to start it up with
cables. :evil:
I changed my batteryes one year ago, I also fixed my alternator a
month ago... :idea:

5.) Front right power window didn't work... :x
In my car - all four of them are working as new... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...lt/biggrin.gif

6.) The insurance fee for 150HP (DOHC) car costs about 65% more than
110HP (SOHC) here in Slovenia. :?
Hmmm... :roll:

7.) But it steel had 150HP, air conditioning and All Wheel Steering... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ult/tongue.gif
My car has 110HP, no AC https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...efault/sad.gif https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...efault/sad.gif , no AWS https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...efault/sad.gif , but I have AWD https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...lt/biggrin.gif

8.).....

So, these are the reasons why I changed my mind and I think I made a smart move, rather than I'd make a mistake. That car needed some serious work which would probably cost as much as I'd have to pay for the car. By the way, the car had a price of "430.000 Slovenian Tolars" (that's about 2000$)...

So... I'm staying with my baby... It would be hard to let her go... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...efault/sad.gif

yeah, u made a smart move man. you'll never enjoy the car, since ur first impression of it is just fixing it all the time. and when u finish fixing it, you wont enjoy it as much since all u remember is working on it.
