Greddy's build thread!! Better late than never!

[greddy]

Just looked at Ivory's build thread, decided I wanted to make one too. Oh, to warn you, this is kinda long winded.

Late 1998

1999 Mitsubishi Galant ES 4 Cylinder.
Been in our family since new. First purchased by my mother in late 1998. Our first new car since we'd moved to the United States. My uncle had a 7G then, and this thing was the new model. I was so excited when we brought it home from the dealership, I got to sit in the front seat! We don't have any pictures of the car from way back when, but this is exactly what it looked like.

2003

5 Years went by, my mom drove the car every day, I changed the oil and maintained it, other than the major services which we went to the dealer for. One day, my mom finishes nursing school, buys a BMW 325i coupe. The galant gets parked in the garage, still stock, other than the 4th set of OEM mitsu hubcaps that my mom has bought.


2004

I spot a supra turbo sitting in one of our neighbors driveway, slowly falling apart. I painted the ladys house, built her a shed, and cleaned up her front and back yards in exchange for the car. We pushed it over to our garage, and the work began. Eventually got it to run. I was only 14 at the time. So damn excited when it finally moved under it's own power.

2006

Got my license, started driving the supra to high school. Gas prices start to climb. I went drifting every friday night, until one day one of my friends crashed his 240SX and died in the flaming wreck. I parked the supra (which only had minor bolt ons, suspension, wheels and tires, and a tune @ the time) partly because of what had happened, and because I couldn't afford to fill it with premium at the rate that it drank it.

2007

The Galant coughs to life after 4 years of hibernation in the garage. Fresh fluids, t-belt, some new gas, and she was ready for the road, still stock, but ready. Mom's bimmer is sold, she gets a new RAV4

First modification was my old supra wheels and tires 16x8 wheels with 235 toyos. Car was still at stock height. I thought it looked bad ass, but unfortunately they rubbed when I turned. Back to the steelies.
I don't have pictures of the galant on the wheels.

2008
Meanwhile, my uncle has moved up here from Cali, and brings his auto garage business with him. He had an old Celica supra back in the day, so when he saw my supra, we started building it up. I will make a separate build thread for it later. With the money from selling the stock parts from the supra, I began to slowly modify the Galant. After a good deal of searching, one of my buddies found a set of 3G Eibach pro kit springs with only 3k miles on them for 30 bucks. I had Tokico stock replacement shocks/struts waiting in the garage, so the car was dropped. Almost at the exact same time, I came across a set of 3G wheels with decent tires for only 200. Picked those up, painted them gunmetal, and put them on. Also around this time, finished my first fiberglass project, and made a VR4 style grill. Only problem was, I made it JDM size, so there is a gap between it and my lights now. That too was painted gunmetal. Last mod at the time was vinyl tint for my stock headlights, I wanted to darken them without taking them apart. It was not worth it, the lighting was terrible.

Here it is, after the drop, wheels, grill, and headlight covers.

I decided to get a CF lip spoiler and emblem (real CF, not the fake crap). I also took the headlight covers off, and cleared my headlights and painted the fogs yellow. Painted Calipers and drums red.

Here they are.

My uncles shop welded up a 2 and 1/2 inch cat back for me, decided to stick with the stock muffler until I figured out what exactly I wanted to do with the back of the car. Got a stainless tip for it to make it look a little nicer. I also took some piping and fabbed up an intake for my car, painted it red.

Here it is

http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp228/sarukhan12/p1000915fn3.jpg

Also got some blacked out heads, switchback leds in the corners, and leds in my taillights. Cut out the middle part of the opening in the front bumper.

Cleared gauge cluster needles, added blue LEDs, moved the license plate into the lower opening and got some black mesh for it. Painted drums flat black, and matched the calipers to the body color.

Thats it so far, I have a ton of parts either on the way, or waiting in the garage, I will update once stuff starts to get installed, I don't have much time now that going to school is my life.

[RedGalant2k1]

Nice. The 2nd Gen tails are really nice, they are a nice polished look.

Look forward to see what else you have planned.

[RAZ_76]

Looking good. I know what else :lol:, it will look good.

[greddy]

Looking good. I know what else :lol:, it will look good.

Yeah, I know that you know, seeing as half the stuff came from you.:D

[glantv699]

I'm digging the shifter, is that a Levoc?

Good work so far, way to keep her clean

[greddy]

I'm digging the shifter, is that a Levoc?

Good work so far, way to keep her clean

Yeah it is, got if from a member on here, redrilled some holes so that it lined up well, it almost a direct match for the "wood" trim inside, so I liked it.

[99 galant]

wow nice work and build
sorry to hear about your friend

[Kenjuro_2]

Nice Build thread.

Where did you get that Shift knob?

I like the red in the engine, I might try that someday.

I know this is a Galant Forum, but you should post pics of the Supra also, Id like to see how the restoration is going.

[JDM4G64T]

Nice work so far. It's always good to see someone's G get some customization going!

[QnzMostWanted]

why does your grille say TURBO?!?

[greddy]

why does your grille say TURBO?!?

That was the old turbo badge from the back of my supra, since I was making the grill, I decided to see if I could fiberglass it to the mesh for fun, I kinda wanted to keep some part of my supra going while it was down and out, kinda one of those sentimental things.

[greddy]

The shifter I got from a member here, you can probably find it on ebay, there is a thread for the supra somewhere, just search supra in the members rides, I'll update it one day when it's done.

[dknight3]

sweet sauce. i need to get around to arranging another meet so i can see it.

[RafalGTZ00]

greddy what did you use to paint the manifold with and the head?

[greddy]

greddy what did you use to paint the manifold with and the head?

I didn't paint the intake manifold or the head, but I'm assuming you are referring to the valve cover and air intake. I used VHT high temp caliper paint, with several coats of clear. It gives it a nice glossy look, not too shiny, which I like. It has held up well to the heat so far, no problems.

[greddy]

I'm putting on the KYB AGX that I've had sitting in my garage for almost a month this Saturday. I have the 4 way adjustables in the front, and the 8 way adjustable in the back. Keeping in mind that it's on Eibach Pro kit springs, what settings would be best? I know I can adjust it later, but I do some spirited mountain driving on my way to the university because the freeway is a mess and mountain roads are a lot of fun. Any suggestions?

[Ivory8g]

nice dude! I look forward to seeing what you have planned as well, and wow that shifter matches really well

[greddy]

nice dude! I look forward to seeing what you have planned as well, and wow that shifter matches really well

Thanks man.

Here is a quick update, here are pictures with the CF eyelids on, these will be gone within a week or two depending on when I install my JDMs. I apologize for the FS papers on them, but these are the only pictures I have with the eyelids, just wanted to show you guys before they are gone.

[greddy]

Just a small preview of what is to come, this is just one quick coat, no clear, wanted to see what it'd look like before I sand really paint it properly. There will be a several new additions to the interior soon, I will post pics once it's all done. Also, you guys running AGX shocks, are your's 4 way adjustable in the back, or 8 way, because mine are 8 way, wanted to see if anyone else had those. http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp228/sarukhan12/P1010610.jpg

[dknight3]

mine are 4 way, i think the galant ones are 4 way, and the eclipse ones are 8 way.
i cant remember why.

no maybe i have it backwards...

edit: mine adjust on the top just like the front.

[greddy]

Mine are for the eclipse I know that, so that must be it, makes adjustment a breeze, can't wait to get them on this saturday and do a test and tune in the twisties. What setting are you running your's on?

[RAZ_76]

I thought they were. Those are for like 92 Galants I think. I mean if that is the actual shock, then where exactly are you going to mount the spring?? Maybe I just dont see it. See how mine have the spring perch or whatever is called?

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k270/razvan76/01G015.jpg

[dknight3]

oh wow... how did i not even look at them, those arent the right ones man.. where did you get them?

im running all mine on 4. or 1... the stiffest one..

[greddy]

Hmmm, I didnt think about that, maybe I got the wrong parts, we'll see, looks like I'll find out this saturday, thanks ray.

[RAZ_76]

That is why I was confused when you told me that it had 8 settings in the back. I know that there are no KYB AGX for 8G with 8 settings. Only 4. Good news though, I have a brand new set with Megan springs ready to ship out...:lol: and they will fit.

[greddy]

I'd buy them, but the fronts are the right ones, so I just need to ship the rears back to the people and ask for the right ones.

[greddy]

Finished painting the interior, however, I will be painting it again. In the previous post I used high temp header paint, which turned out great, I really liked the greyish black color that it had. This time around I tried some semigloss paint, and the actual painting turned out well, just the color is a little too shiny for my taste, so tommorow, for the third and last time, I will buy more header paint, and be done with the project. Oh, almost forgot the Nardi steering wheel! Thanks Ray

Let me know which shade of black you guys like better.

[greddy]

Finished painting the interior, I like it, just waiting on the chrome door pulls and it'll be done. Painted my old style grill gunmetal with the mitsu emblem color matched to the car. Will install it when I get my JDM heads. I'll get some better pics of it with the sunlight hitting it, it really sparkles nicely.

So what type of paint did you end up using to get that shade of black on your interior vents, vent covers, etc??
It looks awesome!!

[99 galant]

nice job with the new grill, looks 100x better. that paint looks good too. if you dont want to mess up your WG but want to have black pieces there too send me a pm.

[greddy]

Looks good! Did you already replaced the hi beam bulb?

Yeah I did, I think I'm gonna try to wire it so that the lows stay on when the hi beams come on. Now I just gotta line everything up, end put on the mugen lip.

[greddy]

So what type of paint did you end up using to get that shade of black on your interior vents, vent covers, etc??

I actually did 2 coats of flat black engine enamel, then 2 coats of clear, I didn't want a shiny black, and it turned out great, doesn't scratch or scuff when I scrape it with a fingernail or something.

On another note, it turns out the rear AGX shocks that I received before were for a mustang, that explains why they were so different. The people I bought it from are taking care of it, free of charge.

[RAZ_76]

Looks great bro.

[greddy]

Thank you, only possible because I have an excellent parts supplier! :)

that is good, get it lowered already! :D

[greddy]

that is good, get it lowered already! :D

What do you mean get it lowered, I've had Eibachs Pro kit springs for quite a while now. I just needed better struts than the Tokico OEM replacements that I had.

[dknight3]

i mean i need to go to bed.. LOL

[greddy]

i mean i need to go to bed.. LOL

yeah you do! lol

[greddy]

Wired up my JDM's so that the lows stay on when the high beams come on, not the best quality of pictures, and I know that my corners don't match the rest, that will be fixed once I get my hid kit for the lows gets here.

[mitgalantes]

what type of buld are you using for your corners?

[greddy]

what type of buld are you using for your corners?

It's a switchback led. I don't remember where I ordered them from, I will look, I think the only person who is running them is Reelax. They flash amber when you put on your turns, but stay white when the corners are on. Only problem is, they are about 55 shipped for a pair. But they are excellent. I love them. Just make sure you wire them properly so they don't blink like crazy. Theres a wiring diagram somewhere on here that Reelax made.

Got the JDM chrome door pulls on today, and the EGR visor, thank you Ray for the parts! The interior is done. No more mods there other than maybe a headunit and high quality speakers. Pics are once again at night, not the best quality, but I'm at school all day.

[greddy]

Got the KYB agx on this morning, set them at four and took the car to some of the twistiest roads in the state, it handled like a dream compared to the old setup, but the number 4 setting is way to stiff for everyday comfort. I backed it of to a three, once I see how that rides I'll let you guys know.

[RAZ_76]

Looks good dude.

Thanks, now just the sway bar left, and the mugen lip, and it's done for a while.

Coming alone nicely but you'll never be done! :) theres always something new.

as far as the switchbacks, I believe the website is autolumination.com I've got the switchbacks too, and im pretty sure theres a couple others besides Relaxx but don't quote me. For anyone wanting them, the only thing, if you don't have HIDs they are going to make your headlights look like shit!

[greddy]

I've set it at three, and I'm content with that.

[greddy]

Cleaned her up a bit, I'm going to tint the tails with window tint material tommorow, I want them just a tiny bit darker, next up are coilovers and putting on the Mugen lip in my garage.

looks good bro. i think the tinting on the tails will look good. I had thought about using window tint back when I had my USDM tails. any plans for HIDs for the heads?

[99 galant]

i wouldnt tint the tails man. its going to ruin the looks of the g. if you do it dont go too dark. one of the cleanest tan Gs since Danger Dan J. nice work man

[greddy]

looks good bro. i think the tinting on the tails will look good. I had thought about using window tint back when I had my USDM tails. any plans for HIDs for the heads?

Yeah, I originally ordered a set for my H4 USDM headlights, now I need the H7 for the USDM, so I shipped the bulbs back and kept the ballasts, I'm just waiting on the new bulbs.

[misterhahn44]

Car looks good bro

[greddy]

Thanks, got a couple more things to get on it and then it's done for the time being.

[greddy]

Evo 9 wheels should be on by this weekend with 235 width Advan A046 tires. JDM fender flares are on their way, rear disc swap should be done 2nd week of October. Rewired my high beams to act as my daytime running lights, and I checked with the cops, as long as they go off before it gets dark, I won't be getting tickets for driving with my highbeams on.

nice, what size tires?
and i would leave them as is, dont paint them

[Galante]

Car looks great with those wheels. They look bigger too although it's 17's. Can't wait to see the drop w/ the D2's. Good progress bro.

[greddy]

The are 235/45 R17s

[dwjp90]

whats the light in your head?

[greddy]

whats the light in your head?

The yellow lights, or the bluish lights? The yellow is just some PIAA yellow H1 bulbs that I use as daytime running lights, the bluish white that looks green in the pictures are 8000K HIDs, in person they are a 95% match for the color of the corner lights.

[greddy]

Old style fogs on the way, gonna mod them to fit my bumper.

[99 galant]

cant wait to see how that project turns out. you in for USDM or JDM flares. i think the usdm would look hot on your car.

[greddy]

I'm in for the USDM for now, depends on if I get side skirts and finish my lip project before then.

[greddy]

Received my old style fogs and my Nifty grill today. Will post pics tomorrow, the fogs I'm definitely keeping, but the nifty grill may be up for sale soon. It looks like a zenki grill except no emblem and no vents in the upper right corner. Will post pics tommorow.

[IVORY_G]

Your wheels would look hot in dark flat bronze next to your Gold paint...

[greddy]

Your wheels would look hot in dark flat bronze next to your Gold paint...

I've considered that, I'm still on the fence between leaving them as is, painting them gunmetal, or painting them another color, can't quite decide, but I'm gonna wait until spring and the weather is nicer.

Here's the fogs installed, just have to mount the plastic parts and then they are done.

Here's the fog housing mocked up on one side. It's not done by any means, it needs to be glassed in and painted, let me know what you think.

That's going to look good Martin, now you need the mugen lip before you paint and it will look nice. That chicken wire you got down there needs to go though.

[greddy]

Yeah, I know, couldn't find any more of the mesh that I used for my FG grill project way back, so I just got the chicken wire from Home Depot for the time being, can't wait to get it all done and painted.

Not perfect yet, sit have to sand the excess glue off and eventually use FG, but they are securely in place with screws and super glue, now just gotta wait for trig to get me a VRG lip if I'm lucky.

[airborneparainf82]

god job man! that came out nice!

[Mike_Rom]

Your car is looking sick bro. Keep up the good work!

[greddy]

Thanks guys, I can't wait to finish up the front end.

[Mike_Rom]

Man... this makes me want to get working on mine so bad! This money issue with medical crap is killing me!

[greddy]

Yeah, I'm doing little bits at a time to try and save money.

[RAZ_76]

Looking great Martin, now you need that mugen lip and some fender flares.

[greddy]

yeah, I sold the mugen lip to a local teg guy, I want to try the vrg lip first. Fender flares will hopefully come with Cali's group buy, and I have megan CO's on the way!

[IVORY_G]

Nice work, creative and outside the box.

Coilovers biotch!

[WhiteGalant]

Looks like its gonna rub like a mofo till you get tires that arent as wide.

[greddy]

It doesn't rub @ all, even at full compression, idk how, but I went down a gravel road behind my uncle's shop with lots of holes in it, and not once did they rub.

[4g63lover]

looks awesome. The significantly smaller diameter of the coilover body makes it possible to rock 235's without rubbing. not to mention you dont have that huge bottom spring perch in the front.

[02galant]

Looks awesome man!! I would replace that lower grill mesh with some different mesh.

[greddy]

Looks awesome man!! I would replace that lower grill mesh with some different mesh.

yeah, thats in the works, I'm getting some old style vr4 lower mesh from trigg pretty soon.

[galant305]

looks nice

[RAZ_76]

Good job dude. Any plans for the wheels?? I don't think the silver really goes too well with beige /tan. That's just my opinion, of course. I think those wheels powder coated black, not painted, would look sweet.

[greddy]

I'm waiting for the rainy season to stop, then I"m gonna either get them professionally painted or powerdercoated in gunmetal or satin black.

[RAZ_76]

Where are the pictures of the coilovers?? A build thread must have pics of all custom parts..:D

Sweet buy!

[dknight3]

how much for your old one?
would it be easy to transfer the cruise control?
does it have volume control on it?

[greddy]

We'll see how much I sell the old one for, I might keep it for a while until I decide what I'm gonna do with the interior because if I go with a sporty theme then I'll use the momo wheel, but if I try to make it luxurious, I'll probably stick with the Nardi, I will let you know. It doesn't have volume control

[RedGalant2k1]

how much for your old one?

The cruise control switch and stick are not part of the steering wheel. In fact nothing on the steering column is directly attached to the steering wheel (save the airbag of course).

[dknight3]

oh i thought cruise control attached to the wheel.

[4g63lover]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220311519658

these bolt right on or do you need a custom hub like the evo wheel?

[99 galant]

did you still want that stock CD player?

[greddy]

these bolt right on or do you need a custom hub like the evo wheel?

I'm pretty sure it'll bolt right on because Thashiznith has it on his 8G stock, I know that his is EDM, but some of the EDM galants came with the wheel I have now, and some came with the one I just bought, so I figure they'd be interchangeable since I didn't have to do any mods to put on the wheel I have now.
99 galant, how much didu want for the CD player?

[fatal1]

cruise control IS on the steering wheel

[Jeffylou87]

It is on the steering wheel but it unscrews..

[RAZ_76]

I see a lot of talking but no updates, wth Martin?? You slacking off dude...:lol:

[greddy]

I'm waiting on some parts ray, jeez :)

[greddy]

Swapped valve covers while I changed the oil and did other maintenance, waiting on my K&N intake and radiator and oil caps, all of which will be powdercoated or painted gunmetal matching the STB. The theme is gonna be gunmetal and candy red. Let me know what you think.

sending you a pm about the CD player

[airborneparainf82]

nice! valve cover looks great!!!

[02galant]

Hey Greddy send me a PM I need a spare valve cover to get mine powdercoated. Thanks bro

[CHICAGO_ONE]

Car looks sick, and the progress is great. Couple questions:
Is your intake supported by anything?
If not, does it rattle around?
What size piping did you use?

[greddy]

Thanks for all the comments guys, the intake has a bracket underneath that goes to the battery tray. I don't remember the piping size cuz it was just some spare piping in my uncle's shop, but I will go measure it right now.

[glantv699]

New headers or just painting/powdercoating the existing ones would help a lot, other than that, looking pretty good under the hood.

[wright06jhs]

Good looking car so far. Have you put on your new steering wheel yet??
I want to see pics!

[greddy]

Here's the wheel on, finally decided which one I liked better and what I'm gonna have to do to make it flow with the interior.

This steering wheel is so great for driving, excellent position for your hands, comfortable, definitely among the best OEM steering wheel I've ever driven with, and I've driven evos, vettes, stis, porsches etc...

[LIMITED_GALANT]

good look galant :)

[greddy]

A few small updates:
CF trunk garnish, everything is CF on the trunk, just waiting on the Group Buy for the trunk itself
Greddy Oil Cap
And the wheels got painted and put back on, they are gunmetal with a tiny bit of blue flake, the weather is crappy but when the sun hits you can see the flake, it gives it a very very small bluish tinge.
3000K HID's in the fogs

Sorry for the dirty car, the weather is miserable around here.

I like the wheels, better daytime pics are a must.

[IVORY_G]

Wheels look good! Nice contrast with ur paint, and matches ur headlights, grille, & CF. x2 on the better daytime pix.

[99 galant]

looks awesome man

[brad995]

Really nice car. Is that rear mitsubishi emblem the one from Ebay? I like the emblem a lot.

[greddy]

More CF, the EGR is going to be recleared and put on the car, the Liberal grill is actually gonna be repaired and the cracked portions are gonna be painted black while the rest will be recleared, it's gonna be a pretty easy fix, couldn't pass it up considering it was only 20 bucks.
I swapped gauge clusters but kept my original mileage by switching to my original odometer, very easy to do, and swapped my gauge bezel with one overlaid in cf, same with the door pull trim. I know I still have woodgrain, bear with me, it will be gone soon.

Just wrap the entire car in CF dude, you are heading that way...lmao :lol: JK Marty.

[greddy]

^I would if it wasn't a daily, I'm just sticking to my theme Ray, beige and CF. Hopefully I can get some Evo MR BBS here pretty soon, I found a pretty good deal, just not sure whether I want them or if I should keep saving for the volks that I want.

[Flutterbyfilms]

Everything looks great, especially the wheels. Nice job so far.

Where'd you get the cf emblem on the trunk? I need one.

[greddy]

I got it on ebay, I'll sell you the wheels lol, do you want them?

damnit i have wanted volks for sooo long if you get them i will rob you.
i want the ones cali had.

p.s. nice progress. pretty soon your car will be better than mine :( but i'm pretty sure you will always have a 4 cyl. haha.

[greddy]

yeah, but I get better gas mileage on regular, take that sucka! And your car is better outside than mine, I can just hand you your ass on a golden platter if we go driving in the twisties.

[Flutterbyfilms]

I got it on ebay, I'll sell you the wheels lol, do you want them?

The wheels look great on your ride, too dark for my all black car.

[greddy]

So, fixed that broken liberal grill I have ( a real one btw, just overlaid in cf) rewired my heads so that my highs don't light up all the way when they are on with my lows, looks kinda like DRLS, and installed a lip I found laying on the side of a country road, required maybe 2 minutes of cutting, and it fits damn near perfectly, the grill and lights are done completely, the lip isn't actually on yet, but there was no trimming necessary on the ends, they match up nicely to the ends of the bumper, I will actually install it once I sand and paint it since it's kinda scuffed up I'll keep it on until I get my VRM bumper, anyways, enough talk, here's the pics...

[Cali]

hey good job on fixing that grille! looks good.

[IVORY_G]

Damn that looks good, I would stick with that setup you have now & forget the VRM Bumper. Its Different and no one else has done it. The lip looks really good too, I wonder what car it came from... What did you do to fix the Grille? Are you color matching the lip to your paint? Keep up the good work!

[lnkn52]

that came out really good

[greddy]

First light coat of paint is on, test fitting it yet again, let me know what you guys think
I know the color is silverish, that's because of the primer kinda showing through the first coat, it's obviously not done yet

[kolio]

now you just need something under the hood to use them brakes!

[starh4x]

That lip is awesome!!!!!!!

[4g63lover]

damn Martin, that looks baller.

I love the look. one suggestion though, do you think you can line up the middle section with the edges of the foglight holes??

[CHICAGO_ONE]

Lip looks SICK. Great job! Its real aggressive, but might be better without the hole in the bottom.

[02redgalant]

wow that looks good

[02galant]

What happened to the CF Grill?

[greddy]

^I still have it, just decided to switch it up for a bit

[greddy]

So I'm sitting in the lounge @ RRev motorsports up here in portland getting some new Toyo T1-Rs put one, 245 width :), they are also cornerbalancing my car and setting up a nice auto x alignment :)
Will post pics once it's done.

[greddy]

So i did some rallicross events recently and they really chipped up the paint on my wheels. Since I've decided not to powdercoat these since I"m getting new ones soon, I went ahead and repainted them. 3 coats of magnesium blue, two coats of gunmetal, and two coats of clear. Only got the rears done so far, don't mind the rear drums, they are coming off today since the weather is finally nice enough to work on the car. I love the way the wheels came out though, cuz from distance they look gunmetal, but if you're close and the sun hits they sparkle with a bluish color

[greddy]

I will once they're all done

[4g63lover]

dude, you do rallycross events in the galant?

[greddy]

^yeah bro, I did a couple since I knew my old goodyears were about to give up the ghost, so just for fun, raised it up and it was a blast, makes the car filthy but very fun, I will tell you this, a stock galant (drivetrain wise) is a blast in mud and gravel with judicious use of the e brake :)

[Galante]

the new color looks good (different). it must have been fun doing that event. ;)

[greddy]

Finished painting all the wheels, the car is filthy, but this will give you guys an idea as to what they look like in different amounts of light.

[greddy]

^if you really want me to you can drive down or I can drive up and we'll do it.

[4g63lover]

you got some balls. I cringe at the sound of gravel hitting my car.

[greddy]

^yeah, I stopped caring after I got a big dent @ the movie theater, got a check for it, now I'm saving up the rest for the full paint job, so I figured I may as well enjoy while I can

[dknight3]

i would do the same. lol

I do want them painted not sure if i want to spend the money on powder coating or not though...

what kind of paint did you use?

[dknight3]

and did you take the tires off?

how did you paint the lip that goes into the tire?
just taped it off and did the best you could?

[greddy]

Index cards, just place them between the tire and the wheel, I was gonna powdercoat them but then I figured I'm getting new wheels pretty soon so there's no point in spending a ton on that. I used two layers of engine block primer, followed by 3 coats of magnesium blue, two coats of gunmetal, than a very very very light coat of magnesium blue, just to get some flake on the gunmetal while it was still a little wet, and than two coats of clear to finish it all off.

[dknight3]

Index cards, just place them between the tire and the wheel, I was gonna powdercoat them but then I figured I'm getting new wheels pretty soon so there's no point in spending a ton on that. I used two layers of engine block primer, followed by 3 coats of magnesium blue, two coats of gunmetal, than a very very very light coat of magnesium blue, just to get some flake on the gunmetal while it was still a little wet, and than two coats of clear to finish it all off.
no i mean like... where did you get the paint?

[greddy]

I got it from a local body shop

[IVORY_G]

Looks good, you planning on some Side-skirts? Why did you take out your fogs? What color do you plan to paint?

[greddy]

yeah, I'm gonna go with some old style sides to line up with it, don't know what I'm gonna do for the rear yet though. Took my fogs off because one of them basically exploded into tiny bits during a rallicross event, hit a rock or something cuz it was destroyed.

[E_Emerson88]

great build thread, inspired me to start my own lol. ill have on up this weekend

[IVORY_G]

Old styles would look good, you should join up on Cali's Group Buy for them. They will already be modded to fit USDM. I think like $230, but we need a couple more ppl, and a donor set.

[greddy]

^yeah, that was the plan, but I'm getting the new style sides instead and they will be CF, my lip is also gonna get wrapped in CF, now I just need to find something that flows with the rear bumper in CF, any suggestions lol

[IVORY_G]

JDM Rear maybe, or get Cali to make a USDM rear lip and wrap it CF. That would be awesome. If he did a USDM Rear lip I would def buy it.

[greddy]

^yeah, I was thinking about getting a JDM rear and getting the little underspoilers done in CF to flow with the rest of the car, but I don't know.

[IVORY_G]

Dont think you can wrap just the underspoilers, the whole piece would have to be wrapped. Thats why just a lip for teh USDM would work better. Then u can just wrap the lip.

[dknight3]

Dont think you can wrap just the underspoilers, the whole piece would have to be wrapped. Thats why just a lip for teh USDM would work better. Then u can just wrap the lip.
why cant you?

[IVORY_G]

I was under the assumption that when you wrap something in CF, you have to wrap completely around the edges onto the side that isnt visible.
So if you wrap just the JDM underspoilers, it would stop at the bumper line, and look funny. It would look best to wrap the whole bottom spoiler line in CF. And you cant do that with the bumper unless you wrap the whole bumper.
Thats why I said a USDM Rear Bumper Lip would work better, bcz it would be like attaching the Mugen/VRG lip, and you can wrap the entire lip, then install it. And the CF would wrap all the way around the Rear bumper.

[Jeffylou87]

I think you have officially owned every grill that they make for the 8G.. lol

[greddy]

not quite, I still need the Zenki Aero grill and the vogue grill to make it complete lol

[dimushor]

not quite, i still need the zenki aero grill and the vogue grill to make it complete lol

loool

[greddy]

C-west Splitters that I bought from a friend who had them on his DC2 with a JDM front end, just got them repaired and recleared, dunno if I gonna keep them yet though, so they may be up for sale, i think they'll go well with a new style bumper, I'll see how they look once I get my lip done and test fit them with the lip

[02galant]

I think they might look good with the lip but wont last long as low as your front is with the lip on. I think like that they look like ass. But I am sure you probably got a deal you couldnt pass up.

[greddy]

yeah, I got a killer deal, and thought why not, we shall see what I decide to do once all my other parts come.

[E_Emerson88]

did you sell that mystery lip already??

[greddy]

No, I have it still, it's in california getting wrapped in CF :)

[greddy]

Just a test fit for now :)

[blue8g]

BOOM! i gotta chubbie!

[4g63lover]

shweet.

[IVORY_G]

That shit is stuffed! The wheel just fits the Brembos, looks good!

[SPD_FRK]

Those wheels look pretty good man.

[4g63lover]

Are they the staggered set? or are they FWD specific?

[WhiteGalant]

Do you sell crack???

[IVORY_G]

do you sell crack???

lmao!

[greddy]

no I don't sell crack, I don't know why you would ask that, they are s t aggered, but they are just for daily driving, for tracks and auto x I have a set of FN01 CR's that are on the way.

[showtime]

dude you have more wheels than anyone I have ever heard of. Are you going to be selling the evo 9's?

[greddy]

how do I have more wheels than anyone you have ever heard of ? one set of 3G wheels, evo wheels, stock steelies, The works, and the 5Zigens, that's only 5 sets of wheels

[showtime]

how do I have more wheels than anyone you have ever heard of ? one set of 3G wheels, evo wheels, stock steelies, The works, and the 5Zigens, that's only 5 sets of wheels

Exactly, 5 sets is crazy!

[SPD_FRK]

ONLY 5 sets of wheels LOL...

Dude I just bought your 350Z rims and I don't even have rubber for them hahah. I think we just need to change your forum name to the "wheel whore."

[showtime]

which size/offset FNO1RC's did you get?

[greddy]

well the Z wheels I never actually put on my car for an extended period of time, got them for free from my neighbor, the FNO1RC's I got are 17 x 8.5 all around in flat black plus 35 offset

[4g63lover]

tits yeah. I love 5zigens! (Gochiken)

[showtime]

well the Z wheels I never actually put on my car for an extended period of time, got them for free from my neighbor, the FNO1RC's I got are 17 x 8.5 all around in flat black plus 35 offset

I was thinking of the flat black but 17x8 and a higher offset. Those will look good!

[greddy]

well I need the offset to clear my brakes

[greddy]

Doing some mild flaring and more trimming of my rear fenders, the wheels now tuck in when the suspension is fully compressed so there will be no rubbing when the tires get on, which will be monday if all goes as planned. Got my red mutaki lugs in as well

[WhiteGalant]

two more sets and you will have a set for each day of the week, about the same number of boxers I have...

[greddy]

yeah, but I only have 2 sets currently..., I don't keep them all, that would be dumb, and no, I don't deal crack, I work 3 jobs

[Ivory8g]

how in the hell do you have enough time to sleep?

[greddy]

well, I work about 60 hours a week, some of that is doing accounting for a family friend which is what I'm doing now, I just do it on my home computer, so, it's not too bad.

[WhiteGalant]

sells crack, pot and makes meth, theres ur 3 jobs lol. those wheels are expensive lol

[greddy]

yeah no lol, they weren't that bad actually, and I don't have to buy new tires with them, so it works out.

[Ivory8g]

lol if he doesnt have crazy bills to pay it is possible if you have some in savings to begin with ya know....

[seth98esT]

I hope you got rid of the cf splitters ... they look terrible on that bumper. Other then that, I love the new wheels.

[greddy]

yeah, I started working when I was 14 and started saving money for two things: cars and school, and so yeah, plus I have a friend in Hong Kong who gets me JDM parts much cheaper than trigg, and I know how to shop around, I don't think I've bought anything brand new for this car yet, everything has been either lightly used or worn and then rebuilt to new condition, Seth, the splitters are coming off when I get my lip back

[jimmy_o2]

Dont tell me u found the Lugs i recommended to u used im pretty sure u got those brand spanking new

[greddy]

:) :) :) :) :) I love them and don't give me shit about stretched tires, I won't be tracking my car or auto xing on this setup anyways 8.5 up front 9.5 out back :)

[IVORY_G]

Car looks good, but Needs some better pix from farther away, thats a cell phone camera huh?

[greddy]

yep, it's my blackberry pearl cam

[Galant306m]

That looks really good. Keep up the good work.

[Ivory8g]

hmmm I wanna see some with the front wheels straight

[wright06jhs]

Car looks great, and those wheels look great on it.

In that last pic is your fender sticking out along the door? Looks like it needs some adjustment. maybe shadowing?

[greddy]

^oh yeah, it sticks out a bit, not as much as the picture makes it seem, it's like that one both sides, they are spaced out, that's how I fit my 245s before lol

[greddy]

got my CF trim in today, thanks Noel, major props for making them at a good price, took a few pics of the wheels, and got some Tein SS Ps that are going to Tein USA to get overhauled
enjoy

[wright06jhs]

CF trim looks great. But you need a new Stereo in the worse way. haha

[blue8g]

ooh that CF is sick! haha that stereo is worse than mine lol

[RedGalant2k1]

Looks great, you've had amazing progress since the beginning...great work!!

The wheel setup would be tits in 18" Tires would poke a little more, and then run some more camber and its perfect!

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Martin that Cf does not look good, please send it to me hahah. I love it! good call!

[stvn_mj]

I love it dude. Car look so sick with those wheels. I want the CF trim too.

[IVORY_G]

CF Trim looks good, but Tires look a lil thick on the wheels, what size tires are they?

[SPD_FRK]

Gah....that carbon fiber would make me dizzy driving lol. I love the stuff, but wow. Looks good though, I definitely think the wheels came out better looking once we could see them mounted with the tires on.

BTW, would you be interested in taking my stock Mitsu CD Player? Its the add-on one form factory that sets in below the vent controls...let me know if you want it

[greddy]

235s all the way around, I got them basically for free so I couldn't refuse, SPD, the stock CD player really won't do me any good since I just hook my zune up, I am getting a new system in a few weeks though, it's just taken forever to find a headunit that actually works with a zune as opposed to an ipod
after the system the interior will be done other than the upper dash and door panels being wrapped in black suede and evo recaros in black and tan suede.

[4g63lover]

mmmmm.. Wheel set-up is on point bro. I love it!!! Could need a little more lowered though to pull the look off a bit more.

[IVORY_G]

235 by what? 45's 50's?

[greddy]

235/45/17s, Jigz, I'm gonna slam it some more once I get the SS Ps on

[greddy]

Greddy Spectrum Elite Exhaust for the 3G, took about 6 months of waiting to get it, worth it however, sounds amazing, obviously it was extended to fit the galant, no rasp whatsoever, extremely quiet while cruising and under low load.

[showtime]

cool thanks man!

[wright06jhs]

That exhaust is pretty haha. Cant wait to hear a sound clip.

Also could you take a pic of where you had to extend it? Im going to have to do that to my Borla system once i get it.

[4g63lover]

sounds clips dude!!!
