Modification advice needed.

[dassler]

Hi, This is my first time to post as I'm a newbie.

Well, here's the thing, currently I'm in Brunei and driving my fiancee's 8g galant, I always has the itchy feeling to change the looks of the car that I drive. BTW, my car is a 2005 Camry with 19" rims on it, so since I'm driving my fiancee's 8g, I need some modification done to it as it really look dull(stock), It originally comes with the factory bodykits and without sport rims. BTW it's black in colour.

What advice can u guys give to me to make my fiancee's 8g look good?

My first thought is to get the sport rims and the ganador side mirror.

Some of the things that u guys have done to ur 8g cannot be found in Brunei. So please help me.

it's not a VR4, it just a normal mitshubishi galant (4g63) 4 cyl

[dassler]

So anyone can help me what to do first? It's hard to get the vr4 product in Brunei, might need to go to Malaysia to get one.

oh, ok then that's cool then.

1st three things are wheels/tires, drop and exhaust. if you have the 2 piece headlights, get the clear corners; if they're one piece your gonna have to heat them and pull them apart to get that amber lens out... it looks much cleaner without the amber signal lenses (you can leave the amber bulbs for legality if it's required out there). remove the badges on the rear of the car so it looks much cleaner (leave the triple diamond).

well that's the start of what i would do.

[dassler]

Ok. My galant don't have an amber light. It originally comes with the clear corner. I've think to get the TEIN spring to lower it, and also try to get the rims. Exhast are not necessary because my galant comes originally with sport/racing exhaust.

Thanks for the idea. Any more new idea coming in?

[Kalamidad]

Dassler, try searching the forum, there's so much information on this forum that you'd go crazy trying to do everything...Pick the ideas look like the most. I'd suggest doing a search for "VR4" since there are a bunch of VR4 pictures posted on here.

If you want anything from any member in the US...We would be more than willing to trade with you...TRUST ME!!!!, but before you trade, visit the "good/bad trader" forum and see that person's trading history.
search and figure out what it is you want first.

The search button is located at the top right section of every page.

The "good/bad traders" section is in the for sale forum.

Enjoy.

how does ur manifold looks like? Well, about the bumper above, its depends, if I got the evo engine, I would consider to get those bodykits above because it can show the intercooler. And it look fierce....

that's because that's a piture of the 3.0L SOHC V6 (6G72). your engine would look more like the 2.4L SOHC I4 (4G63).

not the best pictures...but you get the idea..



the Mitsubishi Outlanders here in the US come with that Manifold...Maximus put it in his car and said he noticed an increase in torque. which i believe.

[dassler]

Outlander is not very popular here, but airtrek is quite popular than outlander, esp airtrek turbo. I compared the engine wif my fren's airtrek, we have exactly the same engine.

[ZigenScarface]

you should go for the version 2 usdm taillights, and im being serious, how many ppl have them over tehre?

[dassler]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(ZigenScarface)</div><div class='quotemain'>you should go for the version 2 usdm taillights, and im being serious, how many ppl have them over tehre?</div>


how does it look like?

[g-ridda]

forget tailights the ones u have are fine. just get lowered and rims and youll be straight for a couple months the exterior looks superbo yea and tinted windows

[dassler]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(g-ridda)</div><div class='quotemain'>forget tailights the ones u have are fine. just get lowered and rims and youll be straight for a couple months the exterior looks superbo yea and tinted windows</div>


What size of the rims u recommend? Tinted windows are illegal in my country. Even the lighter one are illegal. So bored. It's really a hot country.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(dassler)</div><div class='quotemain'>What size of the rims u recommend? Tinted windows are illegal in my country. Even the lighter one are illegal. So bored. It's really a hot country.</div>

17" or 18" are fine.

Talk about strict laws, have you heard about Singapore laws? Hell, they can't install anything that's aftermarket unless it's certified by the manufacturer to be designed for that vehicle. WTF, which manufacturer nowadays make stuff specifically for one vehicle? The more universal it is, the better it sells.

[dassler]

ok.... I'm going to 17" with Tein lowering spring, then I'll go with the CF hood (Evo), Ganador Sidemirror, change the seats with Bride/Recaro (black/red) Then change the engine with Evo's or VR4's.

How about that?

[g-ridda]

if money isnt tight go for the tein coilovers instead but if it is atleast be sure to get shocks/struts.

i dont really like the evo hood if i were you i would keep the hood stock and use that money to invest in the coilover set, just my opinion.
17s may look a little small because of the lip kit u have but u can make it look ok with the coilovers

[SuperGALANT]

yea i wouldn't change the body of the car at all.. maybe the evo hood but i would really stop after lowering, rims, and mirrors.. those jdm galants are nice even as stock.. i like the idea of usdm stock tails on a jdm car.. i think it would look good since he would be the only one over there.. maybe one of you 8gers can pay him to trade w/ u..

[dronesurfboards]

[3pol6]

4g64 is 2.4L right?
4g63 is 2.0L right?

thanks

[Reelax]

[dassler]

Then I'm pretty sure that my 8g is 4g63......
we don't have a 4g64 over here.

[milo111000]

dude for sure that's a 4g64!

[pinoyesv6]

the galants in Brunei were the 2.0 not the 2.4 you see in the us cars.

with that said dassler has a 4g63 SOHC. it should be even on one of the stickers on the car. maybe the firewall
