Got my Jay racing Alternator relocation kit in the mail today, this will help the life of my expensive OEM Mitsu alternator.

Well just got this JDM Baller Status Eterna Sava Grill today Lol, Still have to put the full time 4wd badge on it though.





My parts inspector making sure everything is good.

[GSX_TC]

Got bored and re-did my side decals to saw AWD instead of the Non-existent 4WS that was there before.



Also added this funny one for the windshield Lol

If I was into stickers, I'd have to "borrow" this idea! I love it!!

[GSX_TC]

Ok here is the JDM rear bumper installed, and rear window visor too. She looks soo sexy now =)






Also mounted my Full time 4WD badge on the Eterna Grill. thats the piece that sets it off. Love it.

[wetamup2k3g]

I love that grill! I'm amazed at the options you guys have for customization on this 20+ year old car. It's looking great!

BIG thanks to DSMpurity for making Samara Ride of the Month for Feb 2013 =) http://www.dsmpurity.net/index.php?/...winner-gsx-tc/

Well Turns out the rear visor held on with only 3M double sided tape doesnt stay glued on the bottom, so I bought a real OEM Mitsu one with the little clips that fasten it on the windshield and double sided tape of course, finding a real one like this is a rare as hens teeth as my friend Rob Ritchie would say haha

[Ivory8g]

HAHA I love the sticker on the back of that car. Wow Where in the hell are you finding all these rare goodies? lol

[GSX_TC]

Haha thanks, every once in a great while you'll get a shot a something over on GalantVR4.org before all the other vultures snag it up haha

[GSX_TC]

Finally got the Front mount centered properly allowing the foglights to sit flush now =)

[GSX_TC]

Got a bit more progress done this weekend, got my HID Ballasts all tucked away finally instead of just chillin in the engine bay haha






Also started mounting the BulFab Crossemember, we had to cut down the north/south bars about 2 inches in order for them to fit properly.








and finally fixed my oil leak, somehow my old front main seal was toast so we replaced it with a new one. =)







and a nice close up of the Break In Turbo





It'll be pushing it real close but Rob is trying to have it done in time for TX2K13.

[GSX_TC]

Got some more progress done, got the new fan wired up and mounted.





Also got the External Oil cooler mounted as well.





few pics of the Jay Racing ALT relocation Kit, and the belts are on now.









and underview shot of the completed Bulfab crossmember installed.





aslo got this new leather shift boot to replace the accordian one thats on there now.

[GSX_TC]

Well the Alternator is all wired up now too =D BIG thanks for Mike @ FIST for doing the welding and Rob Patterson for putting it all together and wiring it up.
