Progress On The G ~ *PICS*

[jonk8123]

Ok so when I first got my Galant was about 5 months ago. I let it sit for about 2 months because I did't have the time and money to fix it. I sold my other car and decided to start fixing the G. I originally bought it for $400 from my neighbor, and it was in a few accidents. First things first I had to get a new oil pan, battery, a/c belts, serpentine belt, starter, two steelies, two new tires, and clean it up, inside and out. Once i had it running it lasted about two monthes and the intake manifold cracked and i had it replaced. a month later just recently it cracked again. Also when i first got it there was a lot of dents, both bumpers were falling off and had cracks, cigarette burns in door panels and seats, both tails cracked only good thing was the tint. So heres what I have done over the last few months, its slowly getting better.

i got TYC tails, i shaved the trunk and got a ebay muffler. the muffler sounds nice its deep and low and isnt to loud. But im planning to get a catback soon. also got a ebay intake when i got the muffler but it is a piece of crap so im replacing it.

This shows a lot of the damage. In the top pic u can see how bad that back quarter was.

I pulled it out and used some bondo. I sprayed it with some primer since it was rusting becuase of the weather. Also i got new hubcaps.

I will get some more pics of the interior and i will update when all of this is installed, everything is supposed to be done wednesday. Alot of my idea have came from this site so i give credit to TGC for the progress i have made. Tell me what you guys think

[99 galant]

wow nice work so far, for only $400 and that amout of work you have done the car is looking really nice

good job

[Serstylz2]

and i got this bumper on until the body kit gets here



next i need a cat , do you think a hi-flow cat is better or a resonator, and would magnaflow be the way to go?

[guynlidia2006]

car looks very nice for 400 man.

if its daily car, get a cat
if its a race car get a resonator

[jonk8123]

ok its a daily, you think i should just go with a magnaflow? I got the obx headers with a 2 piece so it came with the cat delete pipe, right now i got that and a ebay muffler, since i got the obx 2 piece can i still go with a catback exhaust, and will there be room for a cat? right now its really loud and raspy, so will a hi-flow cat still make it quieter or should i just go with one regular cat?

[Jeffylou87]

Good freakin job!

[Reelax]

the tails are gross.

[jonk8123]

i know im buying jdm heads first then im gonna sell them and get the 3rd gen jdm tails

[jonk8123]

what cat should i go with. right now my car is REALLY loud. what should i get a large reg cat or hi-flow. will hi-flow still make it loud?

[SLS2000]

Nice work and a great price.

[JDM4G64T]

Day and night.....good job fixing her up....

[dknight3]

if you want it quieter get a cat and a resonator.

edit: actually im not that sure if a cat affects the noise level at all, but if i was you i would get both anyway.

[AMAZ1N]

Okay, I got a great suggestion for you seeing that I just got my catback put on 1 week ago. 1st go with the 2nd choice for your converter, that is what I have. 2nd, yes go with magnaflow because also that is what I have and it sounds wonderful. No Honda civic noises nothing like that, but a nice, nice Bass. The unique thing about mine is I have dual mufflers in the back with an electric cutout on one of them. So I get the best of both worlds. At the flip of a switch I can go 1 muffler, or 2 mufflers. But yes go with the high-flow catalytic converter from magnaflow. Keep everything magnaflow. Hopefully pretty soon I will be adding pictures of what my cat looks and sounds like.

[Galant306m]

get the normal cat. Im going to buy a normal cat also noticed that i lost some power when i went catless. Bottom end torque is gone so my car is a slug off the line and only picks up after 5 grand. Stock cat is the way to go i think.

[jonk8123]

exhaust (http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=2nte3uq&s=3)

lmao thats what my car sounds like with no cat and no egr valve, i bought a magnaflow cat today i dont if its its hi-flow or not
and I can barely step on the gas when i drive it otherwise it misses and revs, because theres no egr valve on it, so im planning on letting it sit until i have the cat, egr valve put on and o2 sensors replaced.

[jonk8123]

body kit came today

[WhiteGalant]

Any luck getting that bumper shipped out today

[RedGalant2k1]

I hope they are doing more molding on the rear bumper, do you see the bumps where the old panel gap was?

[jonk8123]

im doing it myself

[guynlidia2006]

yeah you deff need to keep working on the rear... looks like it is going pretty good, what i would suggest is get it as perfect as possible then goto a shop and have them get it perfect... u will have most of the work done already and it will cost u alot less

[jonk8123]

heres some updated pics

no more tail light gap

the paint is still in progress

I also have some 18"s coming soon
As for the bumps thats from pulling out that huge dent and i was trying to make it look like mrjaydeeone's back where u can see the edges rather then molding over and making flush but since the bumper didnt stay flush at all i molded a little to keep it straight and against the quarter

[keta11]

wow good job man. you turned that car around! how is your cat from magnaflow doing? better or worst?

[jonk8123]

i learn as i go i guess, the magnaflow cat is ok it didnt really silence it at all if i did it again i would rather go with the oem cat my next step is 5spd swap and putting together my own turbo, which i will be installing everything by my self, 5spd might take a while tho

[ShiZnitH]

Looks good :D

[732Galant]

you do all of this in an extremely short amount of time and i havent even put my galant lettering on the doors and i've had i for like 3 months.... procrastination is a motherf'er

[8g831]

dam bro your doing a great job..keep it up cant wait to see the finished product

[jonk8123]

im going to be starting the interior soon until i have everything i need for the 5spd swap

[Faction]

outlander intake manifold? that works? any difference

[jonk8123]

I can tell an improvement in top end but nothin to noticeable

[dronesurfboards]

Get the jdm fender flares, your kit will flow better with them. Yeah you did alot in a short time. ditch the s-tech/agx also, get coilovers. youre not gonna want to 2-2.5 finger gap in the front when youre done with everything. Me personally, I like things dumped to the ground especially when youre kitted out. Keep up the good work!!

[864Galant]

looks good bro! i installed the s-tech/agx a few months back and i am happy w/ that drop.. u can still clear shit w/o having to completely stop when u about to hit a bump/ go up a curb etc

[jonk8123]

i threw this on today.

looks good, you know looking at your pics, i think a full black interior with woodgrain would be sick

the green kit is nice, i like it

edit: its really bright, is it L.E.D. and did you get it from SG?

[G-spot]

you should add a little red to make it a christmas theme 8)

[99 galant]

lol, i know alot of people think/know SG is old... but i like it

[jonk8123]

its SG i had blue but when i bought it one of the tubes was broke and they didnt have any blue left so i went with green

[99 galant]

how do you have it mounted? mine was never that bright, granted it was Neons and it was white... but even in pitch dark i dont think it was that bright

[Galante]

Car looks 2fast 2furious now.. Nice job!

[jonk8123]

i mounted everything underneath except for the front tube is behind the grille.

[IVORY_G]

Car looks 2fast 2furious now.. Nice job!

It does look Fast & Furious with the TYC Tails and the Bodykit w/ Neon Lights, LOL! But its your style and your car. Just dont put hydraulics on it! LOL!

[Galante]

^X2... But if hydraulics is your stuff then why not if you have the cash.

Car is looking good btw..

[IVORY_G]

But if hydraulics is your stuff then why not if you have the cash.

Bcz Hydraulics are for Old School rides, and Air Bags are for New School. Its just an unwritten rule, at least out here in Cali. Although I have seen a few people do it... **As I shake my head in Disgust**
Thats like tryin to put a body kit on a '72 Monte Carlo IMO. LOL!

Ok ive decided to start buying the parts for the 5speed swap i was reading goosey's tutorial and i didnt quite understard what i all need

so if u get the act clutch kit u dnt need the 2g flywheel and starter?
i was searching because i kno i seen another parts list on here a while back but i couldnt find it.
anyone know where i can find the other parts list?

[greddy]

If you plan on blacking out your heads, leave the eylids black, if not, color match them. PM goosey, he can tell you anything you need to know about the swap

[00galantguy]

[Galante]

[jonk8123]

tomorrow i hope to have it all smoothed out and evened up at the bottom and primed then i will start the front bumper piece and im thinkin about molding the pillar to the fender for a smother look what do you guys think?

i wouldn't mold the fender to the pillar, what if you get a fender bender? not only will you have to replace the fender but you going to have to cut the fender off at the pillar, making more work, idk man IMO i wouldn't...

[02gtzgalant]

i am really impressed at how far this car has come and how good of a job u have done. you are really doin the galant proud.

[jonk8123]

thanks alot guys i bought this car 2 years ago when i was 16 knowing nothin about cars really. but i learn as i go this site has gave me alot of help.

but im hoping to get some projector heads after i order the 25mm spacers tonight are the ebay projectors good or should i go another route?

and about molding the pillars i didnt think about that so im prolly just gonna leave those.

[OMEGA PHX]

The ebay projectors are good, but if you want the real deal your gonna need to do a HID Projector Retrofit, if you want HID the cutoff with the retrofit would be sharp and with no glare, Ebay projectors have Halogen projectors so if you put HID in them the cutoff wouln't be as sharp.

Retrofit? You have a link to those or would we have to modify the ebay ones...

And dude... Thats awesome ma... Loads of work, But man it looks awesome! i personally prefer the cyber 2 kit as opposed the the cyber 1 kit.. which is what i think you got on there but regardless broo.. its sick

[jonk8123]

pullin the old projectors out and replacin them with HID projectors

what do the hid projectors run for price?

[showtime]

50ish to 200+

tsx projectors are amazing, if you can afford them get them.

[jonk8123]

I had to add in two spots when i first started i didnt kno how it was gonna be exactly so this first fender is takin awhile the next ones should be easier cuz i kno the exact size but after adding on it looks like it should be about there. i also decided to shave off the door trim while im doin all this and the flare is going to go all the way down the front bumper and im gonna blend it where the part pops out at on the side instead of how it just goes down half way in the first picture.

http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/7022/photo0159k.jpg

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/7196/photo0171dy.jpg

and yea it is definitely gonna need a drop after this that front wheel gap is horrible

[jonk8123]

first fender is almost there just a few little things left and i shaved the first door trim today i fiberglassed the divits in just gotta sand it down

I like how you are like 30 mins from the WI guys and you have been on here longer then the rest of them yet i have never seen your car haha. Looking good man coming together just needs a drop for sure.

[beam514]

[jonk8123]

[bobmundo123]

[Conjee]

Yes, Nice Mirrors!

[305EsG]

sweet as work bro. cars looking good!

[jonk8123]

fill??And dude.. EPIK M3 Mirrors, Where'd you get those?

i meant smooth and i got them on good old ebay. new pics comin soon.

[Censee]

i wouldn't mold the fender to the pillar, what if you get a fender bender? not only will you have to replace the fender but you going to have to cut the fender off at the pillar, making more work, idk man IMO i wouldn't...

i agree...im not a fan of molding stuff...things were meant to be taken off when it comes to cars..hell, i remember a friend of mine here in miami one time had something go wrong on his car, where he needed to take the bumper off and he couldnt because it was molded to the fenders. and the fenders were molded to the pillar.i dont even know what he managed to do...rear and sides are more understandable to mold...

[Trevs56]

fill??And dude.. EPIK M3 Mirrors, Where'd you get those?

you can use any 94-97 honda accord mirrors, but u must modify them to fit. it usually is the backing plate that the mirror sits in that u have to drill out. its not that hard to do just tideous.

[jmath99V6]

Looks good. I think i might switch over to those style mirrors, i have aftermarket ones now, but they're scuffed and faded. look forward to more pics

[jonk8123]

but once u get good at molding and you kno fiberglass its easy to just cut out the damaged piece and just put the new one in and just repair with fiberglass

havent had time to take new pics yet or even time to get much done but i did finished the front right side and hood ill put new pics soon as i have time

[corbizzle]

What's under the hood lately? Take some pics of that as well.

Cheers!

[jonk8123]

decided to go a different route ive been too busy to put the time into the flares im just goin to buy rivet on flares later so i started from scratch im repainting the car idk if im going to stick with white or not ive been puttin to much time in the exterior its almost completely primed and ready to be painted again it needed to be done anyways from the dents and dings ive accumulated in the last 2 years just about another week it will be ready for paint since i dnt have alot of time to work on it.


and havent done anything to the engine lately i wont be doing anything more to the engine until i do the 5 speed swap but that wont be for a while bcuz i have another car for now so overall its gonna turn into a long term project from what it is now i will still update pics when i make progress i just wont be moving as fast

and if anyone knows how to wire up the mirrors let me kno they didnt come with directions theres 3 small wires for the leds that need to be ran to power and ground but 4 to go to the harness ours only have 3?

[jonk8123]

So it has been awhile since I have been on the forum and haven't really had time to do much to the car since its my dd now and the wide body that i was gonna do fell through. Hoping to lower it finally and get rid of the ugly gap in the front and get tires so I can get all the rims back on. Here is what it looks like as of now.

http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/7310/20120304143435.jpg

Heres what I picked up today he wanted $1200 for it I ended up talking him down to $625. I was told its been sitting and needs an alternator

http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/5876/20120428180610.jpg

[dknight3]

625!?!?! holy shit thats a steal if it just needs alternator.

you plan on painting the black one? or keep it flat black?
looks pretty good i would get black heads and nite shade the tails, and paint trunk garnish but thats just me.

[jonk8123]

Ya I know couldn't pass it up but hopefully it doesn't need a bunch of work. I had the chrome tyc's I had tinted and didn't like it too much and kept gettin pulled over I plan on getting the black projectors just dont know when and no the flat black is just temporary so it has somethin to protect it just been really busy and now that its my dd its hard to work on it.

[wetamup2k3g]

Whoa the paint on the Patriot Red G is looking good, such a steal if that's all it needs! Even if not you might can part the joint out and make your money back if it's a money pit, or make a few repairs if it needs them and flip it, congrats on the pickup!

[jonk8123]

So i decided to check and see what I could find out today. First things first the battery was bad so I swapped mine in. The car turns over it sounds to me like more of a fuel problem I also checked for spark and it does have spark tell me what you guys think.

http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/18/b0u.mp4/

[dknight3]

hmm... definitely not alternator.. lol
did you check the plugs?

[Redhaze]

how many miles are on it maybe the timing belt broke on it and he tried to get over on you

[IVORY_G]

Whoa man its been a while! Lol! Welcome back!
Your original G looks really good in flat black, I would leave it like that bcz it compliments the kit very well.
And thats a steal on the new G for how clean the body and paint is. Thats a WIN WIN even if you need another motor. Is the new one gonna be your DD?

[jonk8123]

It has 210k. Yes I checked the plugs and popped the upper timing belt cover off and the belt was intact. So right now im guessing it could be timing belt jumped, big vacuum leak, fuel problem (it still has the old gas in it) or maybe a sensor. I sprayed some starter fluid in the intake mani also and nothing so im not sure gonna get a fuel pressure tester and do a compression test next just to see what I get. And ya as soon as i get it running it will most likely be the dd.

Also forgot to mention that it isnt throwing any codes.

[jonk8123]

Did a compression check today and all cylinders are low so now I just gotta make a decision to part it out like I planned on doing before I bought it or start a project.

[Black8GV6]

It could be a broken timing belt, take the cover off and look

[jonk8123]

already did that and the timing belt was fine

[Black8GV6]

My bad, I see that you posted that earlier, it smelled like a broken timing tho, lol

[IVORY_G]

Youre parting out the new G you just bought or your old G?
