Sorry VIOS lovers, I always beat 'em on a race. I know it's no contest since the '99 Galant VR has a 2.5 V6 Engine, but with the traffic and all, I still managed to beat those pesky VIOS'es (2008 models) with flying colors (w/c btw they provoked me on racing them). Although it is a a 10 yr old (in 2009) car, I still managed to amaze drivers with this beauty!

Low maintenance, and very powerful. It is a best buy a guy could have for a car. Unless you got fuel issues, that's another problem. This car is hungry for gas. Beware! (9kms/ litre highway driving and 6kms/litre city driving).

And this my friends were VIOS emerge the winner (23kms/ltre am I correct?)

heheh patay tau pre kung lalagyan ng tig-P100.00 na gasolina tapos drag ng quartermile.. d tau matatapos! hahahahah!!!! joke!

My gelpren has a 95 Galant. I drove it yesterday and makalampag kahit hindi masyado malubak. May problema yata sa suspension. Saan ba maganda ipacheck within Pasig/Cainta area? Sa tingin nyo mga bossing magkano ang aabutin?

I had my coolant problem done...it's the water pump assembly daw (P7k), I had it fixed at SFM San Pablo (Mitsubishi Dealer) so can't argue with them. I also had my timing belt replaced (with some pulleys??) so that costs around P18k! Radiator Cap replaced (P750

). And it seems I had a problem with my Tranny

. And had my rear brake pads replaced. All in all...P36k! But that's the price you have to pay if you go CASA. But all is running smoothly again. They even fixed my AIRCON UNIT's ticking sound (relay daw un). So no regrets. But Still I have a problem with my car going a wee bit to the right while letting go of the steering wheel. The mechanics says its the TYROD, some says it the Suspsension ball joint. WHat do you think?

I hadn't had that done, since I'm waaay over my budget! But based on what I read here...parang suspension arm nga ang problem. Bigla nga lumakas ang kalampag ng Car ko sa rear..SHOCKS daw needs to be replaced (11k estimated).

!! Mahirap tlg magkaroon ng 2nd hand. I had a 99 VR (pating version). It's still a cool car. But the fuel consumption....WAAAAHHH!

perform a diagnostic alignment first from a reputable shop... they will lead you to answer your query.

Aba! Sounds very familiar ah! My gf's Galant had that ticking sound a few months back. Relay nga daw ang problema. Ginawa na lang ng electrician dinisconnect nya. Ayun, problem solved kaso wala nga lang hangin sa paa (the part of the aircon that blows below the dashboard). Ok naman kasi hindi din naman pansin 'yun eh as long as malamig naman 'yung tumatamang hangin sa upper body pati sa mukha. May kabig din sa kanan 'yung kotse kaya sabi sa akin ball joint daw.

Hows the fuel consumption of a VR4 1998 shark Galant?

as said in the galant forum (mymitsuph.com) when it comes to suspension their best shop is ZEE, or Cruven. magkapatid may ari nito so any will do. their good in suspension and underchasis repairs bro.
