....and bought a grade 4 2001 Galant VR-4 Type S tip @ auction in Japan, only downside is the shipping wait!

The car comes with Tein dampers and a Ralliart exhaust, can anyone tell me:

1. Whats the most likely Tein model? I'm concerned about the ride quality being too hard even on full height.

2. Was the Ralliart exhaust a factory option? How loud can I expect it to be over stock?

Thanks

Dunno about the Teins sorry
IIRC Ralliart exhaust was an option and isnt that much louder than std, just a bit more bassy according to some on here.

Best of luck with the motor when it arrives.

Tein will be Wagon, Super Wagon or GT Wagon. I would be suprised if they are too hard - I have the Super Wagons and don't find them too hard at all. You can buy different rate springs for the Teins from a Tein Dealer if you feel you need to....

Enjoy it - you shall have fun, I'm sure. :thumbsup:

Cheers Roberto :) Out of interest, do you spot many about the place? I see the odd Legnum every couple of months and theres a silver Galant knocking about Lucan for sure. One of the things that appeals to me about the VR-4 is the rarity factor.

As far as I know there is about 10 in the country, definitly less than 20.

Was in Dublin and passed a 96 Galant in a car part.

But they are very rare here.

Good news on the suspension, I've been in Tein equiped motors before and the ride quality was terrible.

On a seperate note, I notice that the previous owner removed the VR-4 badges for theat extra sleeper look, where might I get a replacement set?
