Fuel Tank

So i am drving home today in my GC Coupe. The tank has about a quarter of a tank in it. Driving fine, no issues. Start heading up a hill i am guessing around or 8 degree incline and the old Galant starts stuttering, sounding like its starving of fuel. Get to the top of the hill and level out and all...

Re: insurance

Thanks for the help guys. I tried a couple of "average" insurers now happy with the response on modified vehicles. Will give them a call.

insurance

Guys how do you go with insuring your modified cars? Namely, if you stick a 2.6 in a galant and modify it, such as a turbo or webers and lowering with modified front struts? Or do you just drive around without insurance and take your chances?

Re: my new toy

That dark mark in the corner of the front guards is actually a squiggly sticker when you look on the higher resolution pics, they are on both sides, go figure? I have to agree with you brown wouldnt be my first choice and if i get carried away with tidying it up i would change the interior to black ...

Galant/Lancer parts

Hey guys, does anyone know if Galant and Lancer parts are interchangable? I am talking things like pedal boxes, console, parts used in converting to manual?

Will a wide block and gearbox fit into a Galant auto tunnel?

Is there any interest in anyone wanting any LC Lancer hatch parts if i wreck it?
