    New to the world of vr4 looking to buy

    Afternoon all,

    I've been in the jap car scene for a while so much so I run my own jap owners club.

    But it's time for my current project to go to a new home after 7 years and to look at something different hence the galant vr4.

    So as this is the club for them I thought I'd post and see what to look out for on them.

    I'm currently speaking with an owner of one in a part swap/cash deal so wondering what to look out for.

    Thanks in advance guys and girls

    I'm sure there are better qualified members to advise than me but look out for rust. AYC can be suspect but is not terminal. Make sure Tip-tronic box changes smoothly. If it's
    manual you're lucky but check for clutch slippage.

    strut towers and sills near the wheels. Filler neck (look in drivers side rear wheel well). Rear arches - all prone to rotting. if you can see strut tower rust in engine bay - a bad sign.

    Make sure you get as good of a service history as possible. Beware of "dead" indicator bulbs on the dash, some will accidentally fall out if there is a fault and a quick sale is wanted!

    Otherwise - check the buyers guide on the site
