White VR4 with big red VR4 Twin Turbo sticker down the side

[VR4DVL]

This was me, i got left a litle ClubVR4 note on my windscreen last year saying if i was interested, call a person named Wayne. I completely forgot about it until last night when i foudn that little note under the seat in my car when i was cleaning it so i figured why not!! anywayz this is my 2001 Galant VR4

Is it NZ New per chance?
The wheels are the prefacelift spec 16x6" but polished as per the limited 1997 run of car of the year models. Facelift Type V VR-4's had the same wheels, which is what your car is.

The momo and recaro's were a standard option for facelift cars, probably 5-10% of cars have them. Mine does

Told you Brad'd know!

Though that was in the other thread!!

So you're in the minority then ?

[bradc]

yep, cause I've got a real gearbox too. Pansy 2 footed brit's! We've got 3 legs down here and we know how to use them!

[VR4DVL]

haha awsum, didnt know that aye, i was wondering why mine was the only 1 that had recaro's, sorta gives you that Evo feeling when your driving it, oh and someone said they saw VR4SHO on another thread? yeah my friend Kate knows the guy his name's Pete....bit of a quiet guy...almost fell asleep talking to him

[bradc]

it wasn't an option on prefacelifts at all, apart from a small number of Super VR-4's, so the Recaro's and Momo are a fairly rare option.

I've actually changed to EVO 6.5 TME seats now which are even better

Must be all those sheep you sh........... oh, never mind

/looks your avatar hmmm

It looks like a type V to me. No wheel arch extensions, plus polished alloys. I would hazard a guess that there is no AYC.

A very rare version, that some would argue is the best set of options - light, well specced, no AYC dulling down the driving experience! (Myself, I would say not enough boot space and that there is nothing wrong with the AYC!)

[VR4DVL]

yeah it is an NZ new VR4 and there is no AYC either, i dont think the manuals had AYC??? i might be wrong, at the moment it's stock standard but i am looking for minor upgrades like an HKS induction kit, Super Dragger exhaust and an apexi boost controller...any idea's on where i might find these things??

i have a manual with AYC

[bradc]

the manual facelift galants were all type V's and came exactly like that car from factory. before may 2000 they didn't have the high vis dash either.

All prefacelifts came with AYC and manual facelift legnums were available in the Type S model with AYC.


Now as for the rareity of the car, it is indeed very rare. There is another 2001 nz new manual Galant VR-4 in the forums here, owned by You See. His is black but otherwise identical. There is at least one other NZ new manual that was tested in Auto Trader (they loved it) and a few UK new ones.

Very nice car, if I saw it I would also have left a paper on your windscreen

[bradc]

I wouldn't have, it doesn't have a proper boot!

[VR4DVL]

I wouldn't have, it doesn't have a proper boot!

hahaha!!! funny u say that cause i actually wanted to get a GLX boot without the spoiler to give it that ultimate sleeper status...i mean come on imagine the look on an XR8 Falcon or SS Commodore drivers face when he gets smoked by a GLX Galant it'd be priceless

Hey bro.

Just refering to your first post of a little note under your windscreen.
It would have been wynn and not wayne. Him and another dude (dixon) go round putting them under VR4s (in wellington area) try and get them to come here, have a look and then hopefully meet up with some of us.. etc etc!

Was your car up on trademe?

oh ok, i'm always keen to meet up with anyone aye...that's if i'm not too pissed and trolleyd on that night, but yeah it was on trademe last month, the only reason i wanted to sell it was cause there wasn't much performance upgrades available for them, then my mate Matt Tobin told me that he hasnt really seen any VR4's like mine around in new zealand and he's been drag racing everywhere in NZ (he owns the black 800 horsepower 4G63T Galant VR4 with white rims that was on NZPC in 2006) anywayz once i realized what i had then i just decided to keep her, but then again...the Mrs. always complains about my "boosting" and wants me to get rid of it

[bradc]

lol Andrew, shut up

As for your car, it is a manual with an LSD, so there isn't much to go wrong. Put in an exhaust system, up the boost, and you'll be very happy
