looking good and an awful lot of good work.
i had the vr4 a few years ago but never did any of this to it.
wish i had of done tho as it looks so much better :thumbup:

yeah the owners club is a good place for info, but dont get to hung up on them.....
can go for newer, but when it comes to supers... go with what you can find, as there rear as rocking horse shite!
vr4s are fun yes, but running costs are a *****!
im luchy to have the uk galant non turbo, the other half has the vr4. so best of both worlds!

its more for the mrs, was showing her a few on autotrader and said they look nice....she just saw that the super and said thats ugly (rear spolier)
....so wont be looking for the super then, possible looking for 2.5 auto
The Galant - Mazz - 13-04-2018
oh dear, i love the spoiler! hell i will swap my vr4 spoiler for the super one if ya get it! :lol:
yes get the vr4 if its power and handling your after, and go for the estate, as bags of room!
dont get suckered in to the "amsoil" is best for your car, its over priced for what it is and unless your gonna be tracking hte car 24/7 there is no point in it!
2.5 v6-24 tiptronic vr4 is what your after, all depends on budget, splash the cash a bit more and go manual!

running cost of the vr4 is absolutely ridiculous :thumbdown:
mine was avaraging 18mpg and 25mpg on a run
hock:i personally wasnt over impressed tbh.
ok they are quick and not many things especially of that size will panic them but they stick to the road like **** to a blanket so you cant go playing an get the rear end out.
i tried to drift mine on a roundabout in the wet (on my local private road) and as soon as it felt like twitching the AYC kicked in and instantly put me straight lol.
clubvr4 does have some good ppl on there who know a lot about these cars and are always happy to offer advice :thumbup:
this was mine before i smashed the bumper on a high kerb lol

purdy!
18mpg?! jesus mate! we avrage 22mpg, ok not good next to our 35+mpg v6 but the v6 cant play like the vr can! :lol:
but you dont get a vr4 to ***** foot about in, services 4500miles and that includs diff oil change as well!
but its fun to push the AYC and see how many lights get lit up, always fun to try and get the ass out on one of these, key word there "try" lol!!
though iv seen a member drift his galoon vr4 round a roundabout..... 3 times in one go! hahaha peed off the soccer mom bus off, was worth it!

Yeah thats what im looking for, got to be auto, after driving my car shes only wanted autos!!......you reckon i could get 3 baby car seats in the back? Also does it have front passenger airbags, if so can it be turned off??
@Chris nice looking motor mate, got any bigger pics?
The Galant - Mazz - 13-04-2018
yes to front passenger air bag, no to it being turned off.
if you get the car with the 3 3point seat belts then i cant see why not, other wise its the middle with the lap belt!
what you need is a mazda bongo friendee! 8 seater bus of coolness! with a roof that goes up! :lol:
The Galant - Mazz - 13-04-2018
and for the auto, if your gonne get it, make sure its the vr4 then as that is a much much stronger box then the N/A ones!
