So as some of you know, I recently (I mean a few days ago) sold my bike, with the idea of getting a cheap all-season commuter, to save wear on the truck, not to mention some fuel. I picked up my new rig yesterday:

1991 Eagle 2000gtx, badge-engineered Canadian equivalent of the USDM Galant GS-R 4WD. Not turboed, but could be one day. For now, the goal is to get it back in shape - needs front fenders, tires, wheels, and some Mitsu identification, starting with the proper grille... stay tuned. More to come (if you're interested in a cheap 4wd beater car build).

This should save some miles and wear and tear on the Paj. My wife still thinks her 06 Outlander is the nicest, but what does she know? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> In any event, we still need a Mitsu pickup if we are going to have the Mitsu 4wd niche covered... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

rallycross in a N/A 2.0 AWD? You're better off in your TD Raider. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Nice car though <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

My winter commute sometimes feels like a rally race!

Here is my first mod - Galant grille... (hood is not closed all the way)

Nice grab, yup down here that would be a GSX. That can be a sweet cruising car. How is the engine and driveline in that one.


Cheers, Charlie
