I actually like the style. Its almost subtle. Like the car knows it's fast and doesn't need to show off about it. It's like the guy who has an extremely impressive gym routine, but doesn't shout about it, because he doesn't need to.

The issue is, they're looking at their current cars with rose tinted shades, and at everything else with scuffed shades. Everything they make is perfect to them, and everything from the past is a blemish on society, and people in society don't know what they really want. Automakers are kinda dumb these days.
The 4g63 has an underrated sound. Some don’t like it and people often praise high revving N/A 4-pot sounds more (Honda b series and 4age.) but I like the 4g63, it sounds muscular and torquey because of the larger stroke than bore.
@@therealsnoop7497 Totally agree, I used to have an 8G Galant with a non-turbo single cam 4G63 and it was the smoothest, most pleasant 4 cylinder I've ever experienced.

This is a VR4 Evolution. It has the hood vents, larger opening for the intercooler, 510cc injectors (up from 450), 16g turbo, and different intake as compared to the original JDM VR4.

The little rubber feet are to keep the wipers from freezing to your windshield, without putting them up high where they can get knocked down and end up freezing there anyway.
Or you can just cock your wiper arms up at that angle you need to change the blade if freezing to the windshield is likely to occur with no additional hardware
Yep, they mean you don't have to stick them straight up in the air when ice is coming, or wet snow that is likely to freeze. Don't know about Japan, but that's definitely a thing here in MN.
My dad owned one of these, it was such a cool car, but it had a serious engine problem and he had to get rid of it :( This car is the reason i like JDM.
They still do, they just don't ship 'em overseas as much as they used to. The car economy is nuts in Japan though, the government makes it more expensive the longer you hold onto an older model, to the point that the tax just isn't worth it anymore. So it's rare to see anything over 15 years old on the road, and a lot of drivers change out their daily drivers on a 5 year cycle. This has lead to a lot of "flash in the pan" quirky models that never see the light of day in the overseas market.
"What are these? They're little rubber legs on your wiper blades ... What are these for?" You're in Pennsylvania, you should know how much it sucks when your wipers ice to the windshield :)
I love early 1990s Mitsubishi interiors. They're so functional and comfy, like that tea tray indent on the dash by the passenger side where your head goes in a crash because you don't have an airbag, and, of course, the BALL COOLER.
I have a 1991 Mitsubishi Lancer GTI Liftback My god is it comfortable for a compact car. 4G67, 140hp @ 6200rpm, revs up to 7k! 5 speed manual FWD, but its still VERY fun
Owned "the last one" for awhile. 1992 serial 2000/2000. Fully built engine, but built conservatively for reliability. Built like a 700hp monster but then gently tuned to make 400hp all day every day without popping. What a car
1992 badge numbers only went up to 1000 as that's all they imported for that year. They imported 2000 in 1991 though. So maybe you had 2000/2000 for 1991? Not that it matters as they weren't tied to VIN numbers and the badges were installed randomly at port in the USA, so even "the last one" 1000/1000 probably wasn't actually the last one regarding build date. I've owned 1051/2000 since 1998
Same. Almost every 90's chevy truck has the sack chiller. I wonder if they removed them because it was seen as sexist? Or possibly they had some complaints by husband's about their wife driving during shark week and smelling the whole truck up? Plausible.
I was going to mention just that, they have been putting them in all their cars for like forever until they stopped. I think my old 1995 S-10 even had a modern version of it.
@@brian5o Some 70'-80' Caddies had them even. I have driven a lot of Chevy trucks that had the Gooch Freeze and I've never noticed a single one blowing enough air to cool down a rats sack, let alone my unit.

Man I remember exactly how I found this channel like 7 give or take years ago idk y but was looking up a review for a cobalt and stumbled across his cobalt review. Where I thought I was just getting a LOL regular car review, I found it to be a truly enjoyable comedy as well as a better car review then most regular car reviews plus you can tell he's passionate about cars and I love his way of thinking about all cars that was mentioned in the video I can't remember but went something like a car is is a good as it designed intended purpose and how well excuse that. In recent years I find myself admiring literally every car and finding the beauty and every aspect about it and why it was made the way it was because every car has a place and a purpose
I don't know if anyone's mentioned it, but the VR-4 actually ran all the way into the 2000's, only the E38A/E39A ended in '92. Also I hope someday you get to show off one of the 6A-powered galants.
Man, why are all the cool and fun to drive cars from before 2000... I had a chance to drive one of these a year or so back, just before the coof, and man I smiled a lot. But more than that I've never had such a smile in a car made after 2000, but so many pre-2000 cars bring that smile out.
Man, NZ was full of these in the early 2000s lowered right down, big pipe, cut out bumper and massive from mount intercooler, blow off valve, main thing... Un plumbed external wastegate. Every high school party had one of these(or the ZR4) rev limit dump clutching out the front of it.... In Northland anyway
I had one of these. Still one of the best handling stock cars I've owned. All I did was raise the boost and have a full exhaust, and it moved. It handled amazing in the rain. Something about all 4 tires struggling to grip keeping you in perfect control.
In Spain, I bought a Mitsubishi Galant 2.5 V6 Turbo Estate, Auto, VR4, which was imported from Germany, where it was a Pace Car on a Racetrack! It still pulls like a train. In England, I have a Subaru Outback, Turbo Diesel, AWD, Tiptronic.
the rubber legs on the wipers are to space the wiper blades from the windscreen, which extends the life of the blades during summer. and fuel injected turbos have factory recirculating blow off valves
Yep, I have a 1985 Mitsubishi L200 and it has a single cam carburated 4G63. It's a whole 86hp of slow syrup action. My 1991 Galant GTi however has the dual cam 16v 4G63 and it's more usable with its 144hp, but the 4G63T is the king. The GTi and VR-4 are pretty similar, only difference is the GTi being coupé with a N/A engine while the VR-4 is a sedan with the turbocharged engine. We didn't get the VR-4 in Norway unfortunately, and I have one of two GTi left which is the closest we can get without importing.
@@larsostli We never got this particular model VR-4 we did eventually get the twin turbo V6 Galant & Legnum models. I can't remember the last time I saw one of these older Galants on the road. Unfortunately rust got the better of most older Mitsubishis here in the UK.
NGL never seen those wiper legs but those are genius. Even if you dont tear your blades off from having them freeze and trying to pry them free, the continuous freezing/unfreezing to the window fucks the rubber up and your blades break down a lot faster over winter
The little kickstands on the windshield wipers are for spacing them off of the windshield so they don’t get frozen to the windshield when there’s ice and snow
"The car for the guy whose favorite book, movie, and band is Empire of the Sun." Glad I wasn't taking a drink when you said that. I had to pause til I quit laughing.
the Evo X looks nothing like the 9th gen galant if you mean the galant fortis that isn't actually a galant, its just the JDM name for the 9th gen lancer
I remember my former classmate’s 1992 Galant GTi………….. the highest trim here of this generation available here back then………and the most powerful and most well equipped midsize sedan ever sold here in Philippines…… -2.0L DOHC i4 150hp -standard 5spd overdrive Manual -4 wheel vented disc brakes -standard ABS with EBD all stock and all standard(not aftermarket options) and this was 1992
"First past the goal line" elections mathematically favor two-party systems, because if any party can get 50.1% of the vote, all the other parties have to merge together to present a meaningful challenge. And of course two-party systems mathematically favor extremist politics, so yeah, we're fucked unless we can elect an entire generation of politicians willing to sabotage their own re-elections to change the electoral system to favor moderate politics. And we all know that will never happen.
Oh my gawd! I had a rusty ass 92 GLs 2.0 hatchback of these. I loved that gauge cluster, want one again minus the rust. Turbo 4x4x4 d probably never sold in Sweden but man what a car. It was made for going long distance effortlessly. Like a proper GT machine. Even the n/a 2 liter was a motorcycle engine - all the revs all the time, or it stopped giving a f.. But when you stayed over 3500, it was just schweeet
@@gregorymarsh9504 nah, I think he was that amazed the owner didn't go the broke-ass route of car keeping where you just let a car accumulate dents and never wash it and let the bumper get all sorts of divots and scuffs and never reattach moldings and body stripes when they fall off.
(The little legs on the wiper arms are so that your wiper blades don't freeze down in show or ice storms, if you remember to use em. kinda like in some places people leave em folded all the way up overnight for the same purposes.)
My mother had the automatic NA version of this car and I missed that car everyday because i grew up with it and trust me seeing this makes me wants this car
the little wiper leg thingy that holds the blade up a little is probable for preventing the blade from getting frozen to the window during the winters. i've seen some people who could use it since they often ripped their blades when trying to turn on the wipers while they're frozen to the screen
the "legs" on the wipers are supposed to prevent your wipers freezing to your windshield. I have never seen such a feature, but I knew immediately I could use it.
Those wiper legs are for propping them up in cold weather and avoiding freezing, without running the risk of the wiper snapping back down overnight and cracking your windshield. A surprisingly posh touch for a mitsubishi.
I was extremely disappointed that I didn't win the VR4, but that's life. A RGR viewer actually won it! I hope he enjoys it, and takes good care of her.
The little windshield wipers legs are so that your blades don't freeze to the windows over night. It's why you always see people putting up their blades all the time when it's cold. That's practical engineering. Can't believe mercedes hasn't thought of this.
I feel like the little stands are to keep your windshield wipers off the windshield to prevent them from freezing to the windshield at very cold temperatures
Dude! Quite nice rap at the end! I love the outro music you've been doing recently, a nice nod to something popular or niche. Like I loved the hadestown pieces you did! Keep it going!
4:01 They’re so your wiper blades don’t freeze to your windshield. In the winter you’ll see people lift their wipers when they park as to avoid frozen wipers with this design you don’t have to do that.
The Galant didn't really die here. The EC5A/EC5W Galant VR4 is basically a 3000GT VR4. The 6A13TT is very derived from the 6G72TT with a respectable "276" HP at the crank. Trans is similar in the manual version, model numbers lead me to believe both are GETRAG transmissions. For better or for worse the transfer case on both are nearly identical. The Galant VR4 actually gets one up on the 3k's in the rear diff. As the Galant VR4 S models got active yaw control from the EVO's.
The rubber arms are for lifting the wipers off the windscreen so they do not freeze to it. This car could come with an optional AMG body kit. Yes, that AMG. Before they became Mercedes' performance sector.
I'm sure you can get the USDM Galant VR4 up to JDM spec horsepower without much effort, the difference between JDM and USDM isn't as vast as RCR makes it sound at the end of the day
The blade 'legs' are there to prevent the rubber from rotting and/or sticking to the window if the car is left for a period of time. BMW 7 series used to have an automatic feature that would 'flip' the blades every day to prevent this as well - this also drained the battery unbeknownst to the owner. I'm guessing that assumption was this car was not going to be a daily driver, and would most likely sit for long periods either inside a garage or exposed to the elements in Japan.
My Grandfather had a Galant in the 80s and 90s, it was a European model, so a 4-door Coupé with a 2.5L V6 and a big hatch. It was an automatic, and actually not that bad of a car.
THe Little legs on the wiper blade arms are to lift the wiper off the glass, so it doesn't stick to the glass when it's cold out, but you don't have to leave them up, and risk the wind blowing them over

The kickstands on the wipers are there to prevent them from freezing to the windshield in cold, snowy locations.
"Because American car culture can't be trusted to be moderate" ...neither does American politics
"First past the goal line" elections mathematically favor two-party systems, because if any party can get 50.1% of the vote, all the other parties have to merge together to present a meaningful challenge. And of course two-party systems mathematically favor extremist politics, so yeah, we're fucked unless we can elect an entire generation of politicians willing to sabotage their own re-elections to change the electoral system to favor moderate politics. And we all know that will never happen.
Man I need to get myself a DSM again, that 4g63 just sounds so damn good. Arguably one of the best 4banger engines ever made
Someone show this to TommyFYeah so he can show the guy that sold his friend the fake one lol
I came here to post this
Turned out Tommy was full of crap. That Galant was not fake. The VIN on thr chassis matched the title and the dash.
Choomaah
Oh my gawd! I had a rusty ass 92 GLs 2.0 hatchback of these. I loved that gauge cluster, want one again minus the rust. Turbo 4x4x4 d probably never sold in Sweden but man what a car. It was made for going long distance effortlessly. Like a proper GT machine. Even the n/a 2 liter was a motorcycle engine - all the revs all the time, or it stopped giving a f.. But when you stayed over 3500, it was just schweeet
Only Mr. Regular can be annoyed by a nice paintjob
I don't think it was annoyance, it was amazement.
@@gregorymarsh9504 nah, I think he was that amazed the owner didn't go the broke-ass route of car keeping where you just let a car accumulate dents and never wash it and let the bumper get all sorts of divots and scuffs and never reattach moldings and body stripes when they fall off.
How did you get that he was annoyed? He was gushing about it
(The little legs on the wiper arms are so that your wiper blades don't freeze down in show or ice storms, if you remember to use em. kinda like in some places people leave em folded all the way up overnight for the same purposes.)
My mother had the automatic NA version of this car and I missed that car everyday because i grew up with it and trust me seeing this makes me wants this car
I'm still waiting for the RCR album to drop.
the little wiper leg thingy that holds the blade up a little is probable for preventing the blade from getting frozen to the window during the winters.
i've seen some people who could use it since they often ripped their blades when trying to turn on the wipers while they're frozen to the screen
Review the AMG version
The AMG one is super boring. FWD boring.
the "legs" on the wipers are supposed to prevent your wipers freezing to your windshield. I have never seen such a feature, but I knew immediately I could use it.
Those wiper legs are for propping them up in cold weather and avoiding freezing, without running the risk of the wiper snapping back down overnight and cracking your windshield. A surprisingly posh touch for a mitsubishi.
I was extremely disappointed that I didn't win the VR4, but that's life. A RGR viewer actually won it!
I hope he enjoys it, and takes good care of her.
The little windshield wipers legs are so that your blades don't freeze to the windows over night. It's why you always see people putting up their blades all the time when it's cold. That's practical engineering. Can't believe mercedes hasn't thought of this.
the rubber feet on the wiper blades are for winter. So your blade doesn't freeze to the windscreen.
Ah yes - "deepness of teenage poetry" - almost forgot about that))))
The wiper rubber elevation is for winter so the wipers don't get frozen to the glass making them last longer.
Name: Mitsubishi motor company.
Job: Chrysler automobiles.
they later bought chrysler's shares
I like that you can see the fan rolling behind that Lancia-esque grille.
I feel like the little stands are to keep your windshield wipers off the windshield to prevent them from freezing to the windshield at very cold temperatures
I wish my fancy new car had a BALL BLASTER
I owned 327/2000 back in the day. Loved that car! It was also the first car I built an engine for from the block up. This video hits me in the feels.
I used to not like 90s cars but since I’ve been watching Mr.Regular they’ve been growing on me. But this car is the same age as me and I love it.
Another “pay a dollar, win a car” Car lottery scam
I wonder who really wins these cars...
Lottery and taxes....always a winner when the populace is paying for the prize
@@romeo_alpha0176 Yeah, my Econ teacher used to say, "The lottery is a tax on stupid people." Same for car "lotteries" IMHO
The wiper blade stands are for when it snows so that they don't get stuck to the windshield.
"I'll paint any car for ninety niiiine ninety fiiiive"
The wiper elevators are because in the summer the hot windshield destroys the rubber, so this preserves them when not in use
Dude! Quite nice rap at the end! I love the outro music you've been doing recently, a nice nod to something popular or niche. Like I loved the hadestown pieces you did! Keep it going!
"I want it" - Roman speaking my mind.
The legs on the wipers is so you can have your wiper blades off the glass because when it's really cold the wiper blades stick to the glass.

They’re so your wiper blades don’t freeze to your windshield. In the winter you’ll see people lift their wipers when they park as to avoid frozen wipers with this design you don’t have to do that.
The Galant didn't really die here. The EC5A/EC5W Galant VR4 is basically a 3000GT VR4.
The 6A13TT is very derived from the 6G72TT with a respectable "276" HP at the crank.
Trans is similar in the manual version, model numbers lead me to believe both are GETRAG transmissions. For better or for worse the transfer case on both are nearly identical.
The Galant VR4 actually gets one up on the 3k's in the rear diff. As the Galant VR4 S models got active yaw control from the EVO's.
Wipers "thing" - You leave them above the surface when the weather is icy or while washing the car.
windshield kickstands or so your wipers don't freeze to the snow or cold rain when you're parked maybe...
The wiper feet are to keep them from freezing to your windshield when parked in blizzard conditions.
Ooh yes. This is good
The rubber arms are for lifting the wipers off the windscreen so they do not freeze to it. This car could come with an optional AMG body kit. Yes, that AMG. Before they became Mercedes' performance sector.
Nothing to be surprised about the respray quality. It was repainted at some body shop in Japan.
I'm sure you can get the USDM Galant VR4 up to JDM spec horsepower without much effort, the difference between JDM and USDM isn't as vast as RCR makes it sound at the end of the day
The blade 'legs' are there to prevent the rubber from rotting and/or sticking to the window if the car is left for a period of time. BMW 7 series used to have an automatic feature that would 'flip' the blades every day to prevent this as well - this also drained the battery unbeknownst to the owner.
I'm guessing that assumption was this car was not going to be a daily driver, and would most likely sit for long periods either inside a garage or exposed to the elements in Japan.
The only primedriven contest I decided to enter and there’s a RCG review of it next day. Blessed for my enthusiasm
4:00 They're for winter! So you don't have to pull your wipers up all the way to prevent them from freezing to the windshield. They look pretty handy!
My Grandfather had a Galant in the 80s and 90s, it was a European model, so a 4-door Coupé with a 2.5L V6 and a big hatch. It was an automatic, and actually not that bad of a car.
I think those small rubber legs on the windshield wipers are for preventing the wipers sticking on the windshield during freezing temperatures
THe Little legs on the wiper blade arms are to lift the wiper off the glass, so it doesn't stick to the glass when it's cold out, but you don't have to leave them up, and risk the wind blowing them over
