    New '96 S owner, over here...

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking about the forum for several years now, and decided that since I'm now an official 7g owner, my lazy @$$ should finally register.

    Anyways, I'm the new owner of a 5-speed '96 'S'. It's the BASE model, with no power anything. It has 198k, and runs fine with the exception of a CEL (needs an O2 sensor) and an issue with 4th gear (linkage).

    I'm only 23, but I've owned MANY cars, including two Audi's, a BMW, a P10 G20 5-speed, and a long string of v6/5-speed Mazda 626's. After the test drive I was genuinely surprised at how much fun it was to drive, and how much power it had. I REALLY want to drive a GS, now.

    On that note, I currently live in South Carolina (originally from Long Island, NY) and I wanted to know if anyone wanted to schedule a meet in the area. It would be cool to get some kind of Galant club going down here.

    Well, that's pretty much it for now. Later, all.

    Will do, but I should warn you that it ain't much to look at, at the moment. It needs minor bodywork, and I H-A-T-E the aftermarket wheels that the PO put on it. It's definitely a work-in-progress type of deal. Still, you can't complain too much for $750.

    its cool, everyone gotta start somewhere, once u clean it up a bit and start working out the kinks, it'll be a beaut, check out the members rides section for the 7g's and see what u like....lots of info on that gen...

    looks like its sagging in the back a bit

    Man...I wish I could go to the meet, but it's such short notice. Do you have meets regularly? It would be awesome to go to a Galant meet out here.

    Thanks for the encouragement, people. I know that she has a lot of potential. It's just a matter of time...

    I was born and raised in Westbury. I move to Central Islip when I was 13, and stayed there until about 2 years ago.

    Thanks for all the welcomes.
