Default Galant VR-4

Hey all, I'm not a new member but I can't access my old account anymore due to no longer having access to that e-mail address, and I forgot my password. ANYWAY, I'm in the market for getting a '91 or '92 Galant VR-4, and the only thing stopping me is parts availability. Is there a wide market base for this car, or can it be difficult to get parts for a VR-4? One, it's old, and two, they only made 3000 of them.

I've heard that. I suppose I'm talking about parts in general. I need the vehicle to last at least two and a half years, preferably significantly longer than that, but at least two and a half. The one I am looking at is 100% stock with a newly rebuilt engines, and is in great condition. But living in Minnesota, things can get rusty and whatnot over time, and need replacements. So, for parts in general, are they relatively easy to come by? I mean, the engine is the 4G63, so engine-component-wise, I figure I'd be covered. But in terms of transmission, suspension, body panels, etc, I'm drawing a blank as to how I'll be able to find parts.

Here's the ad:

I have been restoring this nearly 100% rust free galant vr4 gvr4 with the intentions of keeping it. But since I am in college I can no longer afford to keep it.

I bought it awhile back and it was running but not very good, so I took the 6 bolt 4g63 turbo engine out and had the bottom end rebuilt (new bearings, new rings, crank reground, cylinders honed, block decked, hot tanked, etc) and also had the head rebuilt (new valve seals, all the valves were taken out and checked, it was also decked), and I replaced nearly everything while I had it all taken apart. Basically I built it to last.
But heres the real deal about this specific car, it has NEVER been modified at all, it even still has the stock tape player in it. SO it hasnt been all hacked apart and thrown back together. EVER.

Heres some basic information on it:

-186xxx miles on body
-5spd manual transmission
-100% stock
-White exterior
-Black leather interior

Heres a list of stuff that has been replaced in the last 100 miles:


-Rebuilt Engine (complete long black rebuilt, bottom end and cylinder head)
-New timing belt
-New water pump
-New oil pump
-New headgasket
-New Clutch
-New sparkplugs and wires
-Every gasket has been replaced.
-Every fluid has been replaced.

Other parts that have been replaced awhile back


-Mitsubishi OEM 14b Turbocharger
-New EPROM ecu
-New tires

The gvr4 could use some new brakes in the future, they still work fine for now but they are getting a tad old. Also the clear coat peeled off of the passenger side fender, also there is a crack in the windshield, and the rear power steering lines leak. Most people just take the 4ws setup out, but ill leave it as is incase you want to fix it and keep it.
