Modded car for daily or weekend?

[RENESIS VIII]

Yah, straight line the Galant was very stable, the easily most stable of all Japanese mid size sedans that time, even the older versions like mine.

No, unfortunately we did not get the VR4 versions in Indonesia market. Mine was only a non turbo 4G63 FWD version (they called it Eterna GTI) with manual 5 speeders. Yeah similar seats, mine was leather though.

The size, weight and 4WD contributes a lot to its stability. Other than this, I think Toyota's JZX series mid size sedan is quite good too during that time. Chaser, Mark II and Cresta. Same platform across all three.

In a way, the Eterna GTI in Indonesia is similar to the old Perdana SEI in Malaysia? 4G63 NA, FWD and 5 speed manual.

Gearbox from halfcut, suspension plenty of after market ones.
Engine parts also have half cut and new. Japan MMC ones or some parts can use other Mitsu model sometimes or even Proton parts. My brake pump is Wira one, Speedo cable also and steering tie rod end is Perdana ones....

Actually, you are referring to the older VR or the 6A13 VR?

Older VR of course, plenty of users, got VRC club so telling bro. 6UE5t not a problem with engine parts....

I thought 6UE5t is referring to the 6A13 VR because he said black VR4 manual for sale now and worried about parts availability. Which I thought he is referring to this particular VR4.

Your model is quite uncommon actually. You are driving AT or MT version?

I refer that as the VRG...hahhaha. If that is the case then no because that model very little around. That was one of the reason I did not buy also.....hhahahhaha

Anyway, the VR4 in Malaysia and the club are for the E30 series and some later member with the RVR

Good decision. AT on old JDM feels somewhat crippled. Plus yours is a MIVEC version... Pulling revs and rev matching during downshifts is going to be much fun with a manual.

I wonder if VRG can use parts from Perdana? I think halfcut for VRG is hard to find too. Except the front nose cut maybe since many Perdana owners converted to that front look.

So, VR4 club in Malaysia is like a one single model club? Anyone had the original 6A12 Eterna VR4?

Hehehe that's why I'm also reluctant! But I don't know, maybe the owner has channel to get parts for that car. If the E30 series then yeah I know still easier to get engine/brakes/suspension parts.

Yes, that's the VR4 I meant.

Seems like the car wasn't sold yet. Maybe you can try contacting the owner for inquiries.

Nope, did not see any........

Ask around on where to get parts. Or straight away ask the owner if he is willing to tell.

Could be the reason. Difficulties in getting spare parts can be a headache.

500 seems a bit more for daily driving. Considering how powerful evo is in stock form, I think anything exceeding 400hp could be too much.

Why do I call stock evo as powerful is because I think Evo IX stock can reach 0-100kmh in around 4.5 seconds while the V8 Audi R8 only achieves it in like 4.8 seconds. This kind of speed is considered as supercar rivaling kind of speed.

Yes agree, stock Evo is already borderline supercar performance, in fact the cheapest supercar I'd say.
