Palmz JDM 8G Galant Pic heavy
Bought this for cheap when i sold the bmw, im in school so progress will be slow for a bit.
The car was sold cheap becoz the manual transmission is faulty ether completely broken or just a simple clutch bearing
Info about the car
Its a 2000 Model
2.0l Manual :D
driven 174 thousand KM
NOTE a bunch of picz in this thread are just to show you whats diffrent with the jdm like pics of fuse boxes and so on.
I think its safe to say that im the only member with bot JDM and USDM galants at the same time so im when im fiddling with the car i can dell what will and wont fit the usdm car
bought it like this didnt start becos the fuel pump wouldn't run then it magically reapers it self

I will admit this the only reason i bought the car now is becoz i was given a chance to rip out a leather interior out of a jdm and i just couldn't pass that up but i had nothing to put it in so i bought the car ( it had bin on sale for a couple of months now)

Im not going to be using all of it since i want to blend more black with the tan interior.

here is a pic of the old interior

I noticed that if you would buy jdm or eudm interior for a usdm galant you would have to fabricate the bolt on points for the rear seats the front seats would fit tough
also the jdm rear seats tilt forvard like this unlike the usdm wich only tilts one back

i could have changed out the stock in between the doors for a tan one but i found this to be a little more stylish

also here is a little known fact.. the tweeters on the mirrors are bigger than the usdm ones also mid range tweeter in stock speakers

little things like this that show the car is built with a bit more attention to detail than the usdm ones plastic cap over the screw in the door holder thingy

now to a thing i find verry annoying about the car if you notice the seats, The center line isnt centered you arent suppose to sit centered in it like the usdm car but im a big man and for me it feels as so the steering wheel is a bit to the right witch annoys the fk out of me i like sitting and driving my usdm car much more... i dont know how to say it but it just fits better..

also the leather door cards are more tight on the usdm galant which i like not flappy like in the jdm.. .... ( I like my door card like I like my women tight)
fuse boxes are different

Now to the thing i HATE most about this car.. you cant google shit about it most of the results especially the top ones on google only show USDM cars and when im trying to look for something that is not the same in both car its a bitch and yes i tried to type JDM or eudm stuff like that, and the forum community sucks verry inactive
also the jdm and the eudm galants seem to be more prone to rust than the us spec i noticed this a while ago driving around i would notice the galants and soon be able to recognize from far away if it was jdm or usdm just by the big front bumper on the us spec car. rust on the jdm and eudm cars is always on the fender around the wheel but the usdm cars seem to only have rock chips on the hood there are exceptions of course.
This car is a bit rusty and dinged to make it onehunded i would have to buy me some front fenders front bumper fog lights drivers side door and fix the rear fenders
PLZ READ THIS: i need to know how to open the drivers side door its stuck closed and i really dont want to ruin the inner door panel my guess is that the metal rod that goes to the handles got loose when i was installing the door card or something
any awnsers to this as quik as posible would be nice
I hope you guys enjoy this project as much as i do
