Here we have only 3 cars - VR4 - and thats why we dont have here knowledge for rapair and part codes.

1. radiator crack /Grrr - ok its easy if i looked right then euro galant 2,5 V6 radiator part code is same and it can replace.

2. shock absorbers - Marcel made change for coilovers and he have now spare shock absorbers, and i need them but - are they fit ? 1999-2002 Galant VR4 shocks to 1997 Legnum VR4 ? :thinking: Marcel bought him self coilover set from 1996 or 1997 Legnum and used them in 2002 Galant. So are they fit contrariwise ? :pimp2:

3. Bushes the BIG problem - we have here dealer who can order me powerflex bushes but i cant find any part code HELP.

4. the engine belt and rollers - where i can find these - price? there is ~170000 in odometer so i think i have to shange belt because i dont know if it ever as shanged.

5. engine mont pad - is they same like euro galant 2,5 v6 or are they only VR4 - where can i find these - price?

I like VR4 and i want to fix car also i invested so much to make from LHD to RHD that i cant just left car.
~10 months and 20000 km /rally
but winter is coming and i need my VR4

is there anybody who can lead me to some useful info ? or
is there anybody who can sell me some parts then ? - bushes, engine mounts, belt and rollers.

1. Sorry - I can't confirm. You could well be right - the mounts will be the same and the engine block is certainly the same. But the VR4 has an intercooler and a turbo in near proximity, plus I guess that the engine will run hotter and therefore need more cooling?
2. I am 95% sure that all VR4 suspension is interchangeable.
3. Search this site on 'poly bushes' and you will unearth some info. For example click here (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11540).
4. There is a company in the UK called Camskill that is one of the places that offers service parts for the VR4. There is a Japanese company called RHD Japan. I can't tell you if either of them ship to Estonia.
5. Click here (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11846) for the best thread on engine mounts.

Hope all that helps a bit!

I can say for sure all the VR-4 suspension is interchangeable, as I have Legnum Teins in my 94 Galant.

standard galant vr4 shocks are no good in the legnum,
they are softer. and will sag in the rear on a legnum (heavier rear end).

the standard fronts will be fine,



coilovers will be fine coz you can just adjust the height to suit.

thanks for info.
i will try find the dealer who can offer me bushes - no powerflex

engine belt - is it different usual 2,5 v6 and rollers ?

need to fix car good condition before snow - we usually have snow here ~10-30cm (4-12 in.) and cold ....-25C thats mean good ice.
vr4 in ice-track /rally :iloveyou:

the cam belt is different to the v6 2.5 ones, they are only SOHC heads, VR-4's are DOHC
