1989 Mitsubishi Galant GSR review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great car for my drag racing carree"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is not much wrong with the car.
I have just had to replace the engine after it was destroyed from a dropped valve.
Some slight head lights problems (coming off high beams turns the entire lights off)
General comments?
Repair costs for the turbo engine are very high (AU $172 for an exhaust gasket)
Other than expensive parts the car is extremely fast for a FWD, easily beats V8's. very comfy inside.
