At the last minute, I ended up making my out to the west valley yesterday to toss a car around in the gravel. Since 195 wasn’t ready, I had no choice but to take 464 out into the bush to play with some Subarus. Made some new friends and had a great time. 464 is filthy as a pig now, and I think taking out desert scrub brush with the side of the car might have affected the less-than-awesome paint job, but it was worth it.

When I bought 464/1000, there were only a couple things not working on the car. That list is getting shorter and shorter.
- AC – Replaced all the hardlines and the compressor with units from 195/2000 back in September. FIXED
- Moonroof – Replaced with the functional unit from 195/2000 in December. FIXED
- Cruise control – After much trouble shooting, turned out to be a missing plug on the clutch pedal which depresses the clutch safety switch (to prevent engine from over-rev when cruise control activated and clutch pedal depressed. Clipped a rubber spacer button over the tang on the pedal and cruise works today. FIXED
- ABS – Light is on. Probably just needs the brake system bled. TO DO
- HVAC can – Low speed doesn’t work. Probably the switch. TO DO
Very rapidly getting to the point where the only thing left to do on this Galant is get it repainted. Love my Mitsubishis!
When I bought [464] last year, everything but the AC worked in the car. The moonroof, unfortunately, stopped working the day after I got it home. Mitsubishi, bless their hearts, has always seemed to have a hard time with power moonroofs as far as I’ve seen. In any case, I got the AC back in the car a couple months back (still need to draft a post about that process), but it wasn’t until today that I managed to fix the moonroof issue.
