Loving that Galant! Very nice

Thanks mate! Not had it too long but its great car. The celica was getting a pain to use all the time with so many bumps on the roads so thought id get this as well haha. Not bad for 22 years old eh

Loving the Galant and Celica, which version is the Celica?

The Celica is UK 1994 GT Gen6. So its just the naturally aspirated 2.0l engine. Had it on the dyno last year and i think it was around 174Bhp

Quite surprised to see some Toyota Supras here.

Very nice indeed.

Nice car but hope you got a compression test done first?

Off course, i know these cars inside out, even if it was low compression i have rebuilt a rotary myself before.

Cool, keeping my eyes peeled for one for a potential downgrade from my 2005 T-Sport but they are hard to find in good condition

I'm getting the same black done on the rear diffuser. Should look very nice indeed.

Like......yes indeed we do!

That looks good Princey. How's the red match up?

Princey · 15 Jul 2011 at 22:08

Pretty well but as the car is 6 years old, has red paint and the bumper was painted off the car and also being plastic the colour is off slightly. However I can easily get the tips of the wings coloured to take the edge off the colour contrast. In daylight though its hardly noticeable.

Since when was 56 plate 6 years ago? It's not even 5 yet.

Princey · 15 Jul 2011 at 22:53

Date of build was early 2005.

Interesting, I'm thinking of possibly selling actually as I don't use now I have the galant and I cycle to work...

Hateful car but a mk4 tdi with audi tt comps on for £650 is not to be sniffed at!

Now to sell my Mr2 + vts and get a proper weapon

Really like those Galants, shame that the new ones are so damn fugly when they were onto a good thing with the model you have.

Thats the last model of Galant sold in the UK? It's as new as you'll find them here?

Relentless81 · 16 Jul 2011 at 09:32

I think he means Lancer

I'm in Stockport so quite some way from you

[TW]Fox · 16 Jul 2011 at 09:33

The Lancer is not the new Galant, it's a smaller car thats existed below the Galant for years. It would be like saying 'Really like the Mondeo, shame the new one is ugly' when you are referring to a Focus..

Relentless81 · 16 Jul 2011 at 09:39

Yes but the Lancer never had a direct replacement and i'm saying that I think thats what he means

Because the Lancer remains in production :confused:
