[00galantguy]

Just installed my 6k HID's . And yes i know the grill isnt on perfect... it will be fixed shortly.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g94/transamlova212/0504091855.jpg

And a new daily :)

[Galante]

nice pick up for a daily. ;)

You'll need to drill new holes on rad support to make the jdm grille fit nicely.

[showtime]

why is she getting taken apart?

[4g63lover]

why is she getting taken apart?

5-speed, finish fenders (either replace them if I find straight silver ones at pick n pull or finish wetsanding, clearing, and polishing), finish drivers door.

[showtime]

Nice! I need a 5 speed bad. Good luck

JDM front conversion done, and 5spd swap with Quaife LSD done.

http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r367/btngu04/CAWROZAJ.jpg
Could anybody tell me why my grille looks different than yalls? It doesn't come forward on the bottom like all the other ones. Everything lines up perfectly, it just doesn't have the bottom lip.

http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r367/btngu04/CA0ZVJYS.jpg

[showtime]

looks good.

[silver01g]

its cuz you have old style grill you need a new style...

F.Y.I. You should talk to keta11 he has a new style grill, but he's needing a old style for his VRG bumper.

[boostzealot]

because you have an old style grille on a new style bumper. the new style grille protrudes at the bottom to fill that small space where the old style doesnt. other than that, clean install man.

[boostzealot]

its cuz you have old style grill you need a new style...

lol dammit ninja post! lol

im very sursprise to see a new style front end and 5 spd swap here in Texas.

yes...too high.

[WarmAndSCSI]

Many of you who slam your cars must not actually drive them much. I got tired of destroying expensive stuff under my 8G and raised it up with some fat tires (stock 3KGT VR-4 size).

That ride height is great... exactly how my Evo sits and I love it. It's whatever you want... I enjoy a car I can actually drive as opposed to being worried about it scraping all the time. I've done both, practicality is better.

Yea I agree, I'm on eibachs(like the mildest setup) and I daily my car.My ride is ruff,I've scraped and rubbed with my setup I can't imagine with Teins or any other setup

I see your point at this height I haven't scrapped yet since I have been careful. Knock on wood.

[Serstylz2]

I am on Progress and New KYB AGXs and its pretty much perfect height, I don't scrape anything and don't really take the funky angles entering and leaving driveways anymore when I was riding on blown struts

[4g63lover]

I like being slammed. But then again, I do have a crossover for a daily. lol

Talking about practicality and driving a 500hp car are two totally different ideas. You don't drive a 500hp car for practicality.

I would slam my G more, but when my VRG setup goes on, it would be quite literally several inches underground. Once it is not a daily ride it is getting slammed as far as possible, though I'll probably scrap the Megans for airride.

[WarmAndSCSI]

Except... your car isn't slammed.

Once again, you fail at being relevant. I enjoy not ripping off my intercooler every time I go to the car wash (yeah, it's happened), among other things ripping off.

No, the car isn't slammed, I have quite a bit more adjustment if I'd wanted to. That wasn't my goal, but neither is practicality. Other than that, it still reasons that 500hp isn't practical.

[lonestar22]

i dont see how anyone could scrape anything lowered on teins, ive been on the shittiest of shit roads and dont scrape anything. maybe because the VRG bumper is so close to the front wheels. my old bumper has scuffs on the bottom but this one never hits

[polishmafia]

All of you need to start a goddamn "Post a pic as your car sits now discussion" thread.

LESS TALKING, MORE PICS!



Yesterday was the local MN club's dyno day. In the pics you will see my car, an Omni (which put down 112hp on a very stingy dyno), my buddy Mark's Mirage-Evo III conversion, a Viper, some Subis and a few DSMs.

Wasn't talking to you... hence the latter quote.

And BTW, ever driven a car with a big turbo before? It's more than practical if you keep it under boost threshold. Actually my Galant is more timid than my Evo until 4000 RPM rolls around.

[4g63lover]

Wasn't talking to you... hence the latter quote.


If you're talking about my car, actually, I am as slammed as my Teins are going to get. Ask anyone who's seen my car in person. It is LOW. I have ONE thread left on the perch. If that.

It doesnt look slammed cuz of the 15's. If I set the ride height as low as it is now when I had the 17's those 17's would be in the fender. and the car would probably be a little higher than it is.

[WarmAndSCSI]

Overall wheel/tire diameter does not, or at least should not change, when you up wheel size. Why does everybody think otherwise?

[Da_silvagride]

I want to see more pics! damn it. The weather is so much nicer. Lets get some DSLR car pics.

[4g63lover]

Overall wheel/tire diameter does not, or at least should not change, when you up wheel size. Why does everybody think otherwise?


well, mine actually did cuz I didn't just up wheel size I also had bigger tires overall. I had 235/45/17's so yeah they were bigger not a lot but they were. my speedo was off like 1 mph.

[kolio]

Overall wheel/tire diameter does not, or at least should not change, when you up wheel size. Why does everybody think otherwise?

with more rubber your car sits lower as the rubber sags. low profile tires are stiffer and don't sag. when i had my steelies on i wouldn't clear alot of stuff i can with my 17's

[WarmAndSCSI]

with more rubber your car sits lower as the rubber sags. low profile tires are stiffer and don't sag. when i had my steelies on i wouldn't clear alot of stuff i can with my 17's

Then you changed the overall OD of the tire. Tires do not "sag" as you describe. They're specifically designed not to. What tires do under static load probably can't even be noticed with the human eye, unless they're under inflated. Lower profile tires may or may not have stiffer sidewalls. If they do, that only translates to increased stability when the car is moving. It doesn't mean the tire squishes less when the car is just sitting there.

The reason the stance changes, more often than not, is that you ARE changing overall tire diameter and not realizing it.

Winter wasn't so great. Got a small wrap around scrape on the left side of the bumper, and a pushed in corner on the right side. Popped it out, but that plastic/paint is officially warped. Owell, it'll just have to wait for a paint job.

Back on topic....
Thanks Pete, I got it off ebay. It's real cheap but pretty durable. I had to trim up the edges a little bit, and it tapers in a couple centimeters near the front. Not a PERFECT fitment, but pretty damn good I think.

Winter wasn't so great. Got a small wrap around scrape on the left side of the bumper, and a pushed in corner on the right side. Popped it out, but that plastic/paint is officially warped. Owell, it'll just have to wait for a paint job.

[RedGalant2k1]

who's car is that on the left ?? i thought only astig had the aspire tails

Yes, thats me. I love the Aspire tails, wouldn't change them for the world.


Then you changed the overall OD of the tire. Tires do not "sag" as you describe. They're specifically designed not to. What tires do under static load probably can't even be noticed with the human eye, unless they're under inflated. Lower profile tires may or may not have stiffer sidewalls. If they do, that only translates to increased stability when the car is moving. It doesn't mean the tire squishes less when the car is just sitting there.

The reason the stance changes, more often than not, is that you ARE changing overall tire diameter and not realizing it.

Actually a lower profile tire ALWAYS has a stiffer sidewall, thats just by design that the shorter tire has less flexibility. And yes, it may mean the tire 'squishes' less even when underinflated. I could deflate my 19s and still look not all THAT low on air pressure.


Not to draw out any more pointless discussion, but rather end it about tire OD, I'll refer people to my post regarding overall tire diameters in the corresponding forums. But I'll say no two tires have the same physical OD's. And also camber roll (when the wheels are turned) marginally affects ride height, so in essence, you are both wrong, and both right.

[WarmAndSCSI]

Yeah no two tires have the same OD's, but they're not 3" different (would make a 1.5" difference in ride height). The argument went dumb as soon as the claim was made that turning the wheels doesn't affect ride height...

[RedGalant2k1]

Local 8G (not on TGC), bagged, tucking the front wheels. Sitting HELLA LOW.

All you have to do is watch the car when you turn the wheel...

That's low. Honestly I don't think it looks good, though. The 8G isn't exactly a VIP car. Even then VIP is about practicality.

And I KNOW THAT! lol. I was trying to argue common sense that turning your wheels almost full lock will cause the static ride height to change. People just get desperate arguing sometimes... You know I never compromise logic.

[RedGalant2k1]

That's low. Honestly I don't think it looks good, though. The 8G isn't exactly a VIP car. Even then VIP is about practicality.

It IS on airbags. I've been thinking I'd put my G on bags, that way I can ride normal, and show low.

[WarmAndSCSI]

I'm sure you've seen Ksport has airbag kits now. Actually seems to be QUITE a deal. I dunno, I can't judge until I know in person.

nice job on the tinted tails...was gonna tint my aspire tails, but it rained all day today. I'm going with a slightly darker shade than yours, but not blacked out.

dont you like the RA tails?

[lonestar22]

ive seen a few EVO's with the RA tails, did the new evo's get them? or are alot of people changing them out

[lonestar22]

seems like i always end up on the last page of every post

Thank you... I got bubbles in some spots from the mineral spirits I used to clean them. Was still seeping out of the pores.

I don't like the RA tails on Octane Blue. Looks weird - too contrasty. They look great on darker colors.

There are only 2008 Evo X's. People swap out the RA tails for the stock ones. I won't, kind of a waste of $350.

[ASTIG]

what did you use to tint? spray paint or film? ...it seems you used film from your last post, but it seems it's a bitch to do with the curves on the tails.

[WarmAndSCSI]

Oh look! It's somebody with good taste and nice wheels.

... j/k... this place is starting to get annoying again.

It's VHT Nite Shades, done in 2 thin layers. Bubbles because of the mineral spirits not being completely evaporated when I went to spray the tails. They are actually kind of a pain on the X. I don't really feel up to removing them again. Too much potential paint damage, even if you're being careful.

[ASTIG]

Thanks. It looks nice and subtle. Are you gonna clearcoat? I picked up some tailight paint last week and I have been debating on whether to do it or not. Will give it a shot on friday.

btw

got my windows tinted.

[WarmAndSCSI]

Wow... I wish I had your Galant's body, in my color. I'd love to build one like yours on the side and swap my powertrain in.

That looks really good...

I don't know about clearing them, but I kind of want them a tad darker. Maybe one more coat. The job on the Galant's tails has held up nicely. Do many people clear over the night shades? To me, it almost seemed like it stained the plastic a darker color. I attempted sanding it off my G's 3rd brake light because it was wrinkling, but it just wouldn't sand out. I'm almost thinking it's more of an etching spray than a coating.

[silver01g]

My homeboy just sent me a picture of my finished intake manifold:

http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh191/silver01g/chrome.jpg

he said the battery tray will be out in a hr or two.

[ASTIG]

that looks awesome silver01g!!! all you need now is a clear/plexi hood to show that off! hehe.

thanks warm! when I put nightshades on my montero sport ages ago, I clearcoated it 2-3 layers and polished it to give it a smooth finish. If I remember correctly, the clearcoat kinda darkened the nightshades. the paint i have now is some japanese brand lens paint. It cost me $29/can...it was a spur of the moment. hehe

[WarmAndSCSI]

Isn't that the stock manifold that's so prone to cracking? Sure it's nice and shiny, but that just seems odd to bother with the stock manifold since it sucks so bad.

[6G72Galant]

Looks damn good. How much, if you dont mind me asking?

[silver01g]

yea i know its sucks this is the third one, but this is just for now til i can find me a outlander intake manifold.

i only payed $50 to get it done, so no big deal.

here's the battery tray:

The 3KGT is a VR-4, but not mine. Not unless the owner gets tired of it (it's been abused to shit, I feel sorry for the car). It'll be fast when I'm done with it, but still a POS, sadly.

[4g63lover]

I attempted sanding it off my G's 3rd brake light because it was wrinkling, but it just wouldn't sand out. I'm almost thinking it's more of an etching spray than a coating.

I wet sanded mine with 400 grit and it sanded right off.

I would recommend using a less harsher grit though so you can just polish it off. When we were at the Foster Beach meet, Eric took his scratch remover/polish IIRC and he got the scratches from wetsanding off, but just to make it easier use a 600 or even an 800. it'll take longer to take it off but it wont scratch the lens as much. and remember to use a little bit of soap.

... Jigz, does it ever occur to you that I try this stuff? I was able to achieve a decent finish with the spray without even sanding last time, so I didn't this time.

I sanded my 3rd brake light until it was taking plastic off. No matter how much sanding I did, it was still a little darker than originally. The Nite Shades dyes the plastic and penetrates quite a bit. I'm pretty sure of that.

Actually, I think you are right though, cuz I look at these pics and it does look like the tails themselves got darker. I didnt sand the tails when i painted them either.

going to tint them again though, I liked them better when they were murdered out. theyre DEPO's anyway. lol.

[WarmAndSCSI]

Whoa, yeah, you tinted those way too much for a silver car IMO. I'm sure you've seen in my sig how mine are. Just dark enough to be a few shades darker than the paint.

i hate the way my megan sounds so im going to try out the magnaflow if this sounds like crap, im going to get a megnaflow resonator.

[jimmy_o2]

try the Apex i muffler just in case u don't like this one that i know of Ivory G and few others and i have them and it sounds awsome

[WarmAndSCSI]

I wish Magnaflow would start TIG welding their stuff. Ah well, I still am a Magnaflow whore.

[Galant306m]

yea they seem good quaility but agreed to much splatter on the damn thing. the problem is im running catless which makes my car sound like beer farts on a sunday morning, and it makes it really hard to make it actually sound good.

[WarmAndSCSI]

Catless non-turbo four bangers sound like shit... actually all non-turbo four bangers sound like shit. It's kind of crazy how different the 4B11T sounds in comparison to the NA 4B11.

No offense. At least you'll have a nice muffler.

Wear does your front plate go? I saw a WR at the dealer last week and it has it mounted on the left side of the front bumber right below the headlight. It had a body colored bracket that kept is straight. Looked good.

The Ralliart had it mounted on the center, look like crap.

ive always wanted to paint my valve cover.. but isn't there a valve cover gasket you gotta replace as soon as u remove the valve cover? Screw all that

HELL NO!! the only two parts that are gonna be chrome finish is the intake manifold and battery tray. only other two colors is your typical red valve cover and purple which will be the fuel rail something you would hardly see. it a small part so it wont stand out like the way that car has it.

Yeah Strizi's bay is nice, but I see 3 colors there. Gold (fasteners, clamps), polished/chrome, and maroon.

You've named several colors... that seem like they'd clash. Well you'll just have to see how it turns out. The individual pieces will look nice, I'm sure.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Man, i need some Powder Coating under my bay also!

Looks good guys!

[silver01g]

yea i dont plan going all out on this engine bay, just enough to make it look good. more red will be put into the bay, but just not right now.

[RedGalant2k1]

Yeah... it does. Argue with anybody who has seen either of my cars in person. Night Shades alone turns out great if you know how to rattle can.

Nightshades = No on brake lights.

I always felt that it is better people actually can see my brakelights, I like my car.

[WarmAndSCSI]

I always felt that it is better people actually can see my brakelights, I like my car.

Trust me Dave, both of my cars still have exceptional brake light visibility. That, and the Evo has like 10,000 separate brake lights anyway lol.

I actually recorded a vid of my Galant when I first did it just to make sure they were still bright enough. When I can be stopped and see red light behind my car, reflecting off other cars, they're still bright enough.

[Stewi]

That 3KGT bay is actually really nice, it wasnt really a show built bay, that car makes a ton of power. It was built at NRG Tech, I got to check it out a bit when they were welding up some stuff for me.

Makes some nice power, is a very nice setup. But the engine bay looks like a fucking bag of skittles. Even the transmission and engine are painted funky colors.

Plus the owner is a racist douchebag.

I'd give up all the power for a coordinated engine bay.

ugh. any vids or details yet?

[ASTIG]

nice tag

[qnz]

Wow... I wish I had your Galant's body, in my color. I'd love to build one like yours on the side and swap my powertrain in.
I wish I had your powertrain...that's the hard part. the exterior is easy.

you 2 totally had a moment :LOL:

[4g63lover]

you got some balls Jigz. Great work!

Thanks bro.

[blue8g]

Thanks. It looks nice and subtle. Are you gonna clearcoat? I picked up some tailight paint last week and I have been debating on whether to do it or not. Will give it a shot on friday.

btw

got my windows tinted.

what percent is that? looks nice

[ASTIG]

43%...and cheap too. only $180 installed with lifetime warranty.

Nice. I think that's the legal limit for fronts in Utah so I should do the Evo all the way around with 43%

you have a number?

[9G]

damn that's cheap. although 43% is too light for me. 35% should be the legal tint everywhere.

[ASTIG]

you have a number?

$180 (cash no tax) all around.

[WarmAndSCSI]

I think I may get good quality pre-cut 35% and apply it myself. May be the way to go.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

I got 20% all way around, but then again my eye doctors the shit. What people do for discounts on liquor! I legally have "photophopia" so i need tint for medical reasons.

Some states don't honor that, unfortunately - like Utah... else, I wouldn't have stupid staggered tint on my Galant :(

[ASTIG]

I wanted to get the 3m crystalline tints, but those cost over $250 just for the film.

Track is fucking busy... this is quite possibly the biggest wing I've ever seen.

Valve cover done, fuel rail is also done but he said when he took photos it looked blue. but here is the new beauty:

Looks more candy orange than red, but it's nice. Pretty much how my valve cover is.

[Stewi]

Nice

holy freaking wing, is that taller than the car, lmao. that thing may just be able to fly.

I didn't catch what it ran, but the car was clean as hell, blown, and sounded awesome. Owner was a real cool guy, too.

The sad part about that track visit is I got more props on my Evo that one night than I ever had on my Galant. People just don't notice Galants, no matter how fast. :(

i think that guys plate says bottle fed. it must be pretty quick for a viper. thats why i dont show my galant yet, i dont have enough done to it to get noticed. and even then it would probably be hard. ill dig my camera out in the am and take some pics. its dark outside now.

[silver01g]

i love seeing a "wing on wing" rear end. i saw one the other day on the highway, 1g eclipse with a factory wing and a wing that look just like that ontop of it.

dude, your car is low....

[Voodoo]

not as low at yours though :lol:

[Galant306m]

that was me forgot Rob was logged in hahahah.

[DryBear]

...People just don't notice Galants, no matter how fast. :(

That can sometimes be a good thing :wink:

[WarmAndSCSI]

That can sometimes be a good thing :wink:

That is true... the shock value is always nice. Cops not paying attention to my car either is nice. Except that I'm pretty sure every police department within 200 miles is aware of my antics. They just have no proof and probably don't want to bother chasing a car that can outrun a helicopter as well hehe.

edit: and no, I don't fucking street race. I push the limits of my car when it endangers only me. But that's still "illegal" the same way that personal drug usage is illegal.

[SleekGTZ]

Ok, the dust has settled. Time to get back on topic.
