Someone one town over had one that appeared stock, I was 15 at the time and never mustered the courage to ring their bell and ask to buy it. Very cool cars...

Your build thread rocks, and some cool links to SC ebay toys. Also black with those rims is a great combo that I plan on doing with my SC soon enough!
Thanks dude! yea i always try to give back to the communities i share my time with and gather knowledge from. and the 6th gen vr4s are pretty beastly when done right...as you said hard part is finding a good one lol.

Thanks bro! I love my galant. I'll save it for my kid haha. I'm still paying it off though.
Spacers won't fit with my wheels cause of the multiple bolt patterns on the wheel itself
I would have to shave down my existing studs or put in longer ones? Boo
