Hi everyone,

Just bought a stock '97/ '98 Galant VR4 sedan autobox from Japan, its being unloaded from the ship tomorrow and then should be ready for pickup on Friday

I know '97 / '98 is a bit vague but it depends how the Dutch DVLA decide to register it. Production date is '97 but they only look at First Registration date which could be '98.

Anyway, I probs haven't found it but is there a list of things to check?
I know the usual service, rear wheel arches, bushes etc as I'm a trained auto-mechanic but just wondering if these beasties have other known issues.

Plans for it are to keep it as stock as possible but I wouldnt mind the odd handling/performance upgrade,. any ideas?
for example, Suspension upgrade, breaks and a remap but are these worth doing?

A colleague pointed me towards a turbo upgrade where they dismantle the turbo and re-manufacture the impellers but no experience with this either.

Kind Regards,
Matt
