Welcome to Club VR4 United Kingdom
Currently Club VR4 is the worlds only English speaking Website, which is dedicated to the 8g Mitsubishi Galant VR4 and the 8g Mitsubishi Legnum VR4. We are primarily focused on the 8th Generation Mitsubishi Galant and Mitsubishi Legnum VR4's, However we have an ever increasing number of standard Mitsubishi Galant and Legnum owners joining the club. Including the Mitsubishi Galant GLS, Mitsubishi Legnum GLS, Mitsubishi Galant V6 2.5, Mitsubishi Legnum V6 2.5, to name but a few.
Originally Club VR4 was setup to help Mitsubishi Galant VR4 and Mitsubishi Legnum VR4 owners in the UK. However, after only weeks it became evident that our New Zealand counterparts were equally as dominant in the Mitsubishi Galant Mitsubishi Legnum front. Due to the popularity of Club VR4 in New Zealand, we seen the birth of the New Zealand Club VR4 committee at the end of 2004.

Including Mitsubishi Galant VR4/Legnum VR4 Reviews, Mitsubishi Galant VR4 /Legnum VR4 Part numbers, information on the Braking systems, amongst many other Mitsubishi Galant VR4, Legnum VR4 specific information.

Mitsibish Galant/Legnum Information
The VR-4 Type-S model, which is the top of the range model (excluding the Super VR-4 special) has so many items that are still being talked about as advanced features or options on new cars. These include;
Active-Stability-Control (ASC), which is now known is electronic stability control and comes into play only when needed
Active-Yaw-Control (AYC) (members-only), which allows the car to take corners a lot faster than normal cars[/LIST]
This is in addition to four-wheel-drive (4WD), traction-control (TC), anti-lock-braking system (ABS) and a 5-speed Tiptronic transmission (members only), that really works.
While the VR-4 may not have the power of some of the newer performance cars, some members have seen fit to remedy this situation (details of which contained inside), to truly make the VR-4 as relevant today as it was when it was first released in 1996. As an indication of the quality of it's design the VR-4 was produced until 2002 (with minor modifications) and the base model (on which it was based) was still on sale as late as 2007 in New Zealand.
Here are some comments from some reviews (available in the paid-up members section) of this great car.
"Putting the power down cleanly is a four-wheel drive system that splits the torque 50:50 between the front and rear axles in normal driving, and then varying the ratio according to whichever end of the car needs it most.
Behind the wheel however, the drive feels a little rear-biased, which better suits sporty driving anyway. There's more traction than even the engine can defeat, and if you manage to get wheelspin in the Galant, it probably means you're on top of an oily patch." - Galant Warrior
"If the EVO were a small nimble race-bred sprint horse, the Galant VR-4 ... would be a tall muscular stallion, ..." - High Performance Imports
"In terms of performance, the VR4 rivals strongly with its direct competitors such as Legacy RSK and Skyline 25GT, if not the more expensive Audi S4 and BMW M3. " - AutoZine
"It’s the innocuous sounding Galant VR-4. Which in reality is about as innocuous as a hand grenade. On any road you care to choose, it would take an Audi S4 apart more swiftly than Mr. Creosote eating a lobster. And a BMW M3. A tussle with an Impreza Turbo would be interesting, but it’s by no means certain that the Subaru would win. Did I mention that the Galant is an automatic?" - AutoCar
