About
Hi People,
I've been lurking for a while, done a few posts and i thought it was about time i post a few pic's on my baby.
I moved to Australia from NZ about two years ago, and since then had been looking for a VR4 Galant. But the cost of such cars here are rediculous compared to NZ. One day i happened across an importer who had my current ride gathering dust out the back. I knew exactly what it was (he didnt) quickly parted with a reasonable sum of money and took delivery a week later.
She's a 1988 JDM Mirage Cyborg Sedan with 93,000kms (58,000miles) on the clock. It seems to be almost fully option'd, with the sunroof, electric everything, all apart from the rear LSD option
She now joins are rather elite club here, been one of only 4 AFAIK in my state, also been the only one i know of in Australia with the factory sunroof (i love that thing).

I have most of the stuff in that list, im going to put everything on in one go. One of my previous cars spent 9 months off the road getting a rebuild and im determined not to let that happen with this.
With this turbo, im hoping to get close to 300whp, a few things are overkill, but once this motor gives up i will through a 4G63 in there so i dont want to upgrade again.
