1992 Mitsubishi Galant VR4 review from North America
"Extremely fast car, very nimble"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car with a blown head gasket and replaced it. I also replaced the water pump because all the fins were shredded off.
The ECU just broke, and it will cost $600 to fix. But from what I know, that's normal for these vehicles.
General comments?
Replacing the ECU is a small price to pay for a vehicle this nice.
This is a great car! It's very fast and nimble. I can keep up with most Camaros and Mustangs. And my car is completely stock.
My car dyno'd at 224hp 247tq with a K&N air filter and Spectre intake. This car has great potential. I plan on making at least 350hp before I stop modifying it.
In my opinion, if you can find one of these cars, buy it! Parts may be expensive, but they don't fail often and it's worth the money!
