Hi all!
First of all, tops looking site! I'm glad to have found it.
Australia has just recently allowed importing and compliancing of the EC5A Galant variants so I'm on the list for one from Japan, not having much luck though...Don't really know where to look (ideas?)
Anyway, I currently drive a 1993 Mitsubishi TR Magna, you may know this as a Diamante. Us convicts only got the SOHC 12v 6G72 3.0l V6 version, but we did get 5 speed manuals. I have one of these, I then got myself a DOHC 24v 6G72 3.0l V6 from a non turbo 3000GT and whacked that in. Direct bolt in swap and with a bit of electrical work the thing was running off a factory computer (which meant no engineer signatures were required...saved lots of $$$).
The end result was a car that once did high 16's was now doing high 14's on a rather average run! Not bad for a $AU2800 investment
I've done other mods to it but I won't really go into much detail since it's not a VR4 Galant. I'll just post one quick pic of it:

Can't wait to get my Galant and palm this off to my lovely lady. I did have a DOHC 24v 6G74 3.5l for the magna...but it won't be going in anymore. It would've been monstrous - 194kW and 323Nm stock n/a! Ah well...thems the brakes I spose! :D
Looking forward to reading up lots of info on here...cheers!
