That's car sold twice in the classifieds right here. First time it was silver I think. An then it reappeared a few years later black. Glad to see it still around.

[de_dougla_smurf]

I've seen that car around. It put the hurt on meh padna cvt fielder, feel he could run everything. Smh.

'Boi daz GDI, DAT cyah leave me!'

[xtech]

Actually a well maintained GDI an all could put de hurt in him too

[STREETFREAK]

In what world can a CVT fielder run ah vr4 , he want help we.

[Ted_v2]

A good properly modded vr4 could leave a evo. Sr20. All that.

Those engines are monsters.
Personally if I could locate parts more easier for suspension or so. I'd take a chook with one.

[STREETFREAK]

Ok so I was checking oil in the car this morning only to realise it's not a non-gdi 4g93, but instead it's a SOHC 4G63.........hadda forgive me, the car is really my mom's own that I just recently started doing all the maintenance for her as she never has the time to go see about anything

These SOHC 4G63 engines, the parts hard to get for them??

[nemisis]

Where sell a pair of back lights at reasonable cost?? If yall know any by chance

[NR8]

You can get the tail lights on ebay if you're not in a hurry, both new and used. US model and non-US styles.

[kerwin1968]

Does anyone know of a place in central that does fiber glass evo type galant bonnets or anywhere else for that manner

[yvan300]

Hey can the bushings in the two front lower control arms be pressed out? Some are torn and I want to avoid having to buy an entire control arm just for the bushing.

[xtech]

If the bushings are bad..... I am pretty sure the ball joints are as well.

[yvan300]

My situation is strange. I replaced all the lower control arms in the front. But within a month or two both the left and right bushings on the straight arm have gone bad. I'm not sure if its due to installation or maybe the arm was of low quality but I don't have the money to buy two new arms again.

[xtech]

Yes if u installed them bad....

That is if u tighten up the bushes while the car was suspended.

Oh ok, so can they be pressed? If so where could I locate them?

[xtech]

U could press them but where to find replacements I don't know

U could get some upgraded bushings from energy suspension.

But then at that cost u might as well just buy d arm new all over again

[Ted_v2]

Xtech. What you running in your vehicle? Energy suspension?

Pressing is no problem but where you getting the bushings.

RBI makes some good OEM preplacement stuff.
I'll see if I can locate a kit for you.

[Ted_v2]

I not asking to find out your business. Just I know you have one of these galants a while now.

Parts aren't that hard really. You just have to know where to look. I usually buy my parts at Blessed auto, new age, hyperfast etc. Never had trouble getting parts really. People who say that probably go to one place in the bamboo, find nothing then begin to label the car with bad rep.

I'm not sure why the resale value of these cars are so low. I probably think its because of the whole 'GDI hard to maintain' mentality. Get a good mechanic that knows how to fix them and you're good to go.
