4:09 so that your wiper blades don't freeze and get stuck to your windshield in winter.
He lives in Pennsylvania, right? It's quite obvious.
I seriously hope he was being facetious.
Honestly in pa that’s not enough space to stop a snowy icey block trapping them
Doesn't cook the blades in tropical climates too.
Exactly. Beat me to it.
We used to call it “crotch cooler” in the repair industry.
Good gender neutral term.
LMAO!
My 91 Toyota pickup had a crotch cooler
@@connortoale9932 your 91 toyota Pickup ?. congrats man those are as indestructible as power armour
That's the first thing popped into my head.
Vag needs cooling, too.
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. He still wears normal shirts and can hold normal conversations about other things and not talk about "how he stays so swole".
Swolen Areolas?
@@MrFister84 Maybe.
To all the manufacturers currently struggling to make a turbo 4-pot sound good: Listen to THIS.
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.
@@Strike86, dope, I think I’m gonna an N/A awd galant for my first car since I love Mitsubishi and I live in snowy conditions

I feel like he was talking about Demolition Ranch when he said "can this solid object stop a bullet"
Theres a few channels that do that but yea, youre probably right. I lolled
@@jasonheckenlively1172 yeah expecially since i JUST finished him n cleetuss newest vid.
Or Whistlin Diesel’s forehead
First channel I thought of
@@Evildandalo That's what I was thinking
I’m almost disappointed Roman didn’t start singing a sea shanty
Think be more ...META TARO....than ...OH! MAJINAI...??
I am disappoint.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITH THE DRUNKEN SAILOR,
EAR-LI IN THE MORNING!
It’s actually the first time I let Roman finish his thing... not disappointed at all.
"mean treble, low midrange, all bass" I feel personally attacked.
It's not you. Car speakers prior to the mid-2000s were shit.
Nothing like the early 90s sedan styling. I love it.
I would've gone with the alliteration myself. "Ball Blower" or for the ladies "Clam Cooler".
Or vaginal ventilator or coochie cooler.
Fkn "Clam Cooler" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣/5
Your cars still runnin man. "DON'T WORRY...IT'S MY HKS TURBO TIMER"
boy weren't those a bitch when you spit off an intercooler hose @ 140mph and tried to shut er down in a panic
Lmaooo bro you just unlocked hella memories I forgot I had with my A70 Supra.
@@anthonyangel3109 🤣🤣Back when HKS and Greddy were like crips and bloods. U never mixed the two.
@@mentok3027 lol reminded me of the coldpipe popping off my intercooler on the freeway. The T25 on my SR was still spinning, lol
Want to throw one on just be old school
4:10 that's actually a neat useful feature to prevent your car's wipers from freezing to the glass or absorbing a lot of ice on it.
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.
Back when Mitsubishi used to be cool
So true.
Sadly, even with the legacy discontinued we still out gapping subarus 🤣🤣
The Starion was peak Mitsubishi imo.
@@InvictvsNox Agreed! I love that thing, in all its 80's styling glory!
This is the saddest and yet most accurate comment here. Damn I miss Mitsubishi from the 80s and 90s. Mitsubishi today is just...... sad!
I’m not gonna lie, the “I like thunderous areolas” caught me way off guard...like, way more than it should have. This is why I love this channel.
They're like silver dollar pancakes....
Dude you spoiled it 🤌
@@Wik3dNuTS4k don’t read the comments before you watch the video then
That would be a good band name. You'd sell a few shirts.
he hasn’t changed since he’s started he’s always had those types jokes in his vids which is why he’s one of my favorites he’s funny as hell
4:00 It's so your wipers don't freeze to the windshield overnight in winter, its genius!
As a kid I would have scoffed at how boxy and tiny the wing or air scoops were on this car. But as an older car dweeb I am absolutely in love with this look. How does no style become a timeless classic a couple decades on?
Yo homie got to make a soundcloud. That outro was hot
rap isn't my type of genre but that was pretty good lol
I agree, that was amazing Roman....
Yeah that was honestly pretty fire
He does have an Band Camp account tho.
They do have a SoundCloud
“Before there was kid rock, there was 38 special”
.38 Special is so much better than Kid Rock it's not even fully. Kid Rock's okay but only in short bursts. I could listen to .38 Special all day but, then again, that's my generation. LOL!!!!
I like 38 special but all their songs sound the same.
Why do u needs just repeat clever things already said..yea. we heard him the 1st time
Really hope the 3000GT / GTO in the background is also gonna get reviewed
theres one he did a couple years back. wish he would've reviewed a better example. We were shittin on the owner in the forums for days lol.
Back when Japan wasn’t afraid to make cool cars.
Cars like these are the reason we have to wait 25 years for..
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.
They never stopped, they just keep most of them in Japan. Case in point, the very Galant in this video was never sold outside of Japan.
@@1024BenZ they have limited amount in the US i think
Stop telling ppl about this car! I cant afford one yet
it's less than 10k what are you even doing with your life?

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.
Came down to comment this. I live in NE. More cars should have this, or an easier way to deal with this problem
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
@@griknott I also came down to reply this lmao
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.
Японцы- молодцы.
The car was painted in Japan. That's why the paint job is so damn good.
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
Those rubber legs for your wipers are for when you are getting snow/ice to keep your wiper from freezing to the windshield i would guess.
EDIT: Also it is an aftermarket piece. I have searched all over the internet through part diagrams looking for what it is actually called, and they didnt come on the Galant. the front or rear wiper.... btw did you know the Galant had a rear wiper as well in Japan?!?!? I didnt either.
I would think so too, but that hardly happens. The ice sheets the glass, and the rubber blades get chunks across them. I feel like that would still occur all the same 🤔
@@gregorymarsh9504 where i am it happens a lot when we get frozen rain and sleet. Which is what we almost always gets. You will see people working on days that there is going to be freezing precipitation putting their wipers sticking up away from the windshield all over the parking lot.
Mr Regular lives in Pennsylvania, and he didn't think of that!?
My guess is maybe these fold into the wiper by simply actuating the motor, which is probably a nice convenience when your defrost has sufficiently melted the sleet over flipped up blades which you would have to be outside in the cold again to do.
@@jero37 I've noticed that sometimes he misses the point of gadgets. That being said, I live about 20 minutes away from him and we don't really get weather like that anymore. We're more snow than I've, if that makes sense.
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
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 had its sibling for 11yrs...2001 Galant GTZ best car I ever owned...1st car I ever bought brand new 0 miles when I picked it up...love this review bro, took me back! 😊 Thanks
I feel like scrotum AC was really a General Motors invention...
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.
Mitsubishi mirage 1985 also have that little air conditioning
My 03 Malibu has a testicle thermostat
“Ball Cooler” Needs to be a shirt.
O cooler O
I have a fully built JDM GVR-4 and I pick my daughter up from school in it sometimes. One of the other dads was telling me about your channel and I stumbled upon this video. Gotta say, you've got a new fan. Funny yet informational. And I agree with everything you guys said, they're such underrated and fun cars.
The only primedriven contest I decided to enter and there’s a RCG review of it next day. Blessed for my enthusiasm
These versions are really good cars stock. Wild mild suspension & mild power upgrades they are close to perfection. Awesome cars
Y'all need a skateboard for the 'running guy low-to-the-ground' angles. I find myself staring more at the awkward shuffling shadow than I do at the car itself.
mini-segway would do even better
I think it's part of the gimmick at this point
@@ndautomotive Perhaps you're right. Although I feel like it would be very on-brand for them to have a cheap Walmart deck as part of their film crew repertoire.
Or a r/c car lol
a longboard with soft bushes!
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
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.
*Realizing that my 1989 Corolla also has a ball cooler ☠️
Love the ball cooler vent
Aye so does my 86 Toyota Cressida
My Lexus LS430 has one as well, so does my 91 MR2.
The next time a car company does any kind of survey, we all just need to spam the "write in" section with "ADD BALL COOLERS". Just to confuse the crap out of the corporate heads.
My 95 Camry had one too. Greatest automobile of all time
This thing is so cool. Whoever wins it is getting such a beautiful and iconic car.
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.
The kickstands on the wipers are there to prevent them from freezing to the windshield in cold, snowy locations.
This was the 1st car I drove with my driving instructor! Love this car!
Wow. That paint job is amazing. Someone loved that car. It's always impressive to see something that someone loves that much.
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.
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
"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 :)
"this car revs like a kid dunked in a bucket of high-fructose corn syrup"
🤣😂🤣
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
(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.)
Roman's bars on point as always
Roman haters seething
Grrrrr!
Them bars at the end were fire 🔥
One of my favorite, relatively unknown and forgotten Mitsubishis! I didn't know there was that much of a discrepancy in horsepower between the USDM and JDM Galant VR-4, but it doesn't surprise me. My daily driver is the later Subaru version of the same idea, a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX (non STI). The car you reviewed has 10 more horsepower than my car, and it wouldn't surprise me if the Mitsubishi weighed less as well, knowing how cars were generally lighter in the 90s. I was also unaware of the 4-wheel steering. I like the Galant VR-4 that came after this one even better, which of course never came to the United States. It sounds like the Galant VR-4 that we got was in the same tune as the Eclipse GS-T rated at 195 horsepower and I'd bet it's the exact same engine. With 237 horsepower it probably would have failed to pass US emission standards, I'm guessing.
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
Best writing all year. Can’t get “Anglo-sized” out of my head 😂
4:05 most likely for winter time, so that they don't freeze to glass.
My MX6 had the ball cooler vent. It was THE BEST for the summer. Especially in shorts, cool air on legs. So nice.
If I had to guess, the legs on the wipers are intended intended to distance the blades from the windshield when you park it in the cold.
Prevents them from freezing stuck to the windshield with a shelf of ice the blades would create as water collect on top of them.
Its neat.
Instead of bending the spring loaded arms so they stick out.
I like subaru's solution more, which is the winter mode button that leaves the blades resting on top of the heater elements at the bottom of the windshield on subarus that were sold in northern territories.
Its more convenient, slightly more complicated but not too bad.
I admire Mitsubishsis wiper standoffs though. they are beautiful in their simplicity, a bit more tedious, but so simple its going to last probably decades and even if it breaks its immediatly obvious and easy to fix. no prodding with a multimeter. just put on new standoffs or arms.
I love it.
Remember when cars were simple, light and mechanical?
When they werent handholding annoying lounges on wheels that flashed, pinged and shouted at you and lowered the radio volume because you shifted lanesr?
When they were vehicles you drove, and didnt throw a fit going into limp mode because a tyre pressure sensor went out or read 2% under the desired pressure that hal 9000 wanted to see?
When the computer merely made sure the engine ran optimally in terms of fuel and timing making sure knock didnt blow it up?
when the cars weren 50% canbus systems, sensors, electric and digital everything that doesnt need to be ... and computers and touch screens all interconnected from bumper to bumper?
Well... I do. beautiful times.
I love how that engine just wants to wind up right to the red line. I am a Subaru fan and I still give this car serious respect for what it does and I want to drive it.
i remember this. it was a traffic car in horizon Australia.
The windshield wiper legs are for frost: keep the wipers off the glass, so they don't freeze and damage the rubber (my guess)
Rubber legs have a function. When its cold, you extract the and they keep the blades lifted from the windscreen so they could prevent them from freezing and sticking to the glass.
Yeah, it's got that E30 silhouette, but it looks for all the world like a '92 Honda Accord.
Yeah, lots of cars were that shape back then, especially, but not exclusively, Japanese ones. BMW didn't even invent it.
Finally the review of this.
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.
I had a VX-S Galant, exactly this colour. Manual and air suspension (which ended up breaking) - loved that car.
Back in the day, a guy brought one of these to the 'street races.' It would regularly embarrass v8 Camaros and Mustangs. The harder he launched it, the lower it would squat. Pure B R O W N.
I love these little Evo zeros
Oh, I was waiting for Galant review, and man, I am not disappointed! As always, justice is served!
And I got to know about "Liege of Legends".. or was it "Lidge"? =D Good stuff!
Inspiring...im still working of my 1977model galant.excited to finish it
Absolutely beautiful, I love this car
На территории exUSSR часть молодёжи даже охотится за этими машинами.
excellent notice on the paint quality, that's an often overlooked part of a vehicle. i've seen brand new car factory paint jobs that can't touch that. definitely must of been polished mercilessly.
There's a reason why a real paintjob from a quality auto shop costs well over the $99 Maaco special bullshit. All the steps Maaco doesn't do are why their work looks like shit a year later while paintwork from a good shop looks great and like it was already that color from day one
My parent's brand new CX-5 had dogshit paint, felt like they put the clear on outside in the middle of the desert. Think it took 5 or 6 hrs with an orbital to polish it. Very noticeable difference though well worth it
@@s8wc3 Ha! I knew those Mazda ads with the old Japanese artisan guy hand stitching the leather on the steering wheel and planing the wood dashboard by hand were a crock of shit LMAO
The writing for all of these episodes are so good. Also the Galant is pretty cool
That outtro rap was FIRE. Great episode all around!
I'm still waiting for the RCR album to drop.
The wiper legs lift the wipers off the glass so they don't get frozen to it. Kind of like how the SVX has a winter wiper mode that tucks them down into the cowl.
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
6:58 look at that nice 3000GT in the background!
4:01 easy lift props incase you think your wipers will freeze to the windshield overnight in icey conditions??
I can't remember when the last time I've seen any Galants of this body shape on the road, let alone this intact. If there's any still actually mobile they'd be quite rare these days.
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.
Ooh yes. This is good
Come for the BALL COOLER, stay for the Roman rap. He didn't have to go THAT hard!
He didn't have to but he sure fucking did. Also I am indeed jealous of the scrotal climate control
Saw your very first Miata video upload years ago in Italy; been looking forward to Mondays ever since!!!
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!
Ah yes - "deepness of teenage poetry" - almost forgot about that))))
"Can this solid object stop a bullet"
if i remember correctly
the lumps on the wipers are an old jdm thing to prop the blades up so they don't freeze to the screen overnight and fry the motor in winter (northern japan can get hella cold)
.
Perfect example of a proper vlog ♥️🙌🏻!
That’s the sexiest box I’ve seen since Justin Timberlake packaged his package and wrote a song about it.
I WAUNT IT
the rubber feet on the wiper blades are for winter. So your blade doesn't freeze to the windscreen.
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.
Great.... TommyFyeah posts about how rare they are, TRC does a review on one, now everyone has to let the secret out.. VR4’s just went up another 5k
I recall us having a Galant as a rental once. It was an amazingly impressive car. And a truly beautiful one, I think.
I had an 01. With the 3.0 v6. She Moved
The wiper blade stands are for when it snows so that they don't get stuck to the windshield.
Those wiper kickstands are to keep your wipers from freezing to windshield without just standing them up.
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
Weird how the Evo has roots in the Galant and the last gen Evo looks a lot like the last gen Galant
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
Roman is KILLING IT with those lyrics, as are you both with the latest videos :)
The legs on the wipers are used to make them not freeze to the windshield after a cold night.
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
