Im back...50/50

[Sillyasianz]

Not a noob, but the car to me will be.


Read the second page. I put it all out there on details.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

welcome back hopefully! lol i think i have a idea where your getting your JDM parts

[Sillyasianz]

yea, its pretty obvious...but even the car has TGC history if I get that one....

[9G]

pics!

[Sillyasianz]

pics!

LMAO. I'll have pics once I actually have the car and parts silly guy.

Parts will be in my hands faster than the car, that will take longer as the potential car is out of state.

[RedGalant2k1]

or ban!

[Sillyasianz]

IF you ban me imma cut you.

[lonestar22]

i hope your hitting up nocky for parts.

i hope we can see some extreme VIP going on in this galant

glad to see your back, make a build thread

[RedGalant2k1]

IF you ban me imma cut you.

Haha...remember it is 9G's idea. He wants your stuff (and I don't mean car).

And re-welcome!

[Sillyasianz]

lol. IF you dont know, 9g bought most of my old car parts if im remembering right.

Bastard got a sickass deal from me.

[9G]

whowhhhaat?

[Jeffylou87]

It's ChicagoGTZ's car with nocky's parts.. Duh

[9G]

whowhhhaat? whowhhhaat?

[Sillyasianz]

lmao

[lucap100is]

welcome back homie. your sig pic looks like in san pedro korean park.

[Sillyasianz]

welcome back homie. your sig pic looks like in san pedro korean park.

thats cause it is, That shot was hard to pull off, had to wait for the rent-a-cop to go to break and did that asap.

He came out cussin...

"I turn my back to go have some food and you damn kids pull shenanigans....get the hell out of here!"

:p:p:p

[Jeffylou87]

That's an almost already done setup for a good price dood.. Good moves..

[Ivory8g]

nice dude!! hope you do come back! love your work! you keep it clean!

[VIPtint]

see dre this is why i never sold my G. i knew i would finish it eventually. but its still not done. you hit me up for wheel specs i already got the down for the galant. you know what would look sick? sicknlows wheels on VSC. i know they were up for sale and i was thinking bout getting them. perfect fit but 19's, it would look good still though.

oh and front struts is a big problem, i still havent found out how to get them to ride decent. when you get there you should stop by my shop and take a ride in mine, its a ghetto job right now but youll get the idea. maybe we can meet up. damn the socal meet is this weekend but idk if im going anymore.

[ricky_db]

welcome back

[lonestar22]

i hate how hard is is to slam the galant in the front

[greddy]

i hate how hard is is to slam the galant in the front

Yeah, no kidding, especially if you wanna run tires any wider than 225 width, the day I put my CO's on I slammed it all the way in the front, and the top of the tire was even with the top of the fender, no gap whatsoever, but it rubbed like a mofo, so now there is a finger gap all around.

[VIPtint]

the problem i have is i have no gap but only an inch of travel. it rubs the liner at full turn a little, but no fender rub. and if i hit semi big bumps the struts bottom out

[greddy]

What are you running on again, cut springs or custom short body coilovers? I have the same rubbing issues, no fender rub, but the liner has been rubbed away at full lock. I would think a set of custom short body coilovers would give you a little more travel and with a stiffer spring rate you wouldn't bottom out as much.

[Sillyasianz]

This car will be EXACTLY as It was before. Minus the rims and cyber2 sides and rear.

Before my car crashed.... *TEAR*..... I had VR4 sides and VRG rear with accent crap....

It will be just that. It will be the same color with the black center grill and VRG bumper center.

IM fiinishing what I started and envisioned.

Just add a sunroof to the dream, leather interior, and new set of wheels....

That is what my car will be.

6k HIDs for heads and Fogs...just as before.

Megan Coils....or UAS (universal air suspension) with KYB AGX.....

....or if megans fit with UAS.....HEHEHE

************************************************

Here is the reality check.

No point hiding it...

I plan to get Nokcy21 car...as is.
Just as his signature shows.

Yea. its his finished car.

BUT that was my vision.

Ofcourse it will have my touches....

Nardi woodgrain steeringwheel/shift knob, HID 6k lighting, wheels, suspension

and MISC stuff.

Im one to say anyone who buys a show car...

NO RESPECT since you didnt build it.

But he built my dream. I had all his parts in my garage weeks before I crashed my car.

So its a 50/50 thing to me as me finishing my car and buying a finished car.

People will have their opinion.

People that know me and my build of the old Galant know whats up.

I even bought a rolled Galant for its interior and misc parts then scapped it to the junk yard.

Rambling put aside. I know how to build my Galant.

Would have cost more to get a stock and order all the EXACT SAME PARTS from Triggermauve, then paint it all....

Car will be painted to white eventually.

Till then, its a daily so I can garage the LS400 for special times....

I.E when im not working. LOL

Whats all your opinions....

[greddy]

Dude, buy it, add your special touches, if it's what your dream was, then live your dream

[Reelax]

i thought he sold his car... only has the full VRG kit left + misc like rear visor etc.

[Sillyasianz]

Thought that too. Then he PMd me and changed ALL my plans....

[VIPtint]

you got wheels planned? VIP style or tuner style?

[Sillyasianz]

NO clue. No clue @ all on the wheel.

Doubt ill do wheels or the suspension part asap.

I have enough debts as it is.

Learned for the Lexus. Wheels and Suspension make the car.

Comeon...VIP inspired or Tuner...lol

I dont do motor work, unless its minor bolt on crap.

The old Galant was simple and clean. VIP inspiration for DAYS.

All future cars will be.

Not into Tuner ne more, haven't been for years.

I went to the old VIP meet/photoshoot in City of Industry before in the Galant.

I got a VIP mindset.

[silver01g]

As long as the car is still in the TGC family its all good, right? I mean weather whos car or whos parts they were. the main thing is that it gets build for the whole world to see. So good luck man on the changes and remake of sillyazianz

So what happened to Nokcy21? why did he sell it?

[IceDouTGaLanT]

he got the Gs430

[9G]

whowhhhaat? whowhhhaat? whowhhhaat?

thats right. i take a west coast car and you take an east coast car. now the galant world is even.

[4-G-rim]

Dre...good to see you in a Galant. Your previous Galant was one of the best looking 8g's on the board. You did it right and had some sweet rare ultra cool JDM parts on that car. A "VIP" galant is a sweet idea....a 8g can pull off that look.

Looking forward to seeing the car actually in your hands....I am sure this one will be DOPE! :cool:

[DryBear]

shenanigans :lol:

Dude, nice to see you back in the G!

[VIPtint]

idk, i say ditch the lex and do the G big. thats me though. i doubt anybody else will agree, but everybody on VSC couldnt deny how dope this is
http://a288.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/107/l_6987db2ef3feb39812b4d24c61cc29e7.jpg
got these specs too

[VIPtint]

what you got, in black, with some nice wheels would kill this ^^^^. cuz you would have the lip kit, and i think the chrome jdm grille would look better only if you got the chrome jdm heads though.

[99 galant]

that black G is amazing. all black with only chrome wheels is awesome

[greddy]

Wow, that black G, just wow, looks amazing.

[99 galant]

its not over or under done. its like perfect. I hope the interior IS black too

[VIPtint]

yeah put the jdm chrome grille and lip kit on and its complete. or maybe some blinker mirrors.

can somebody photoshop a chrome grille and blinker mirrors to show dre.

[99 galant]

i think chrome grill would ruin it. blinker mirrors, nice idea to finish it

[VIPtint]

I have no idea what it would look like. But nock has 2 grilles anyway, the painted one and a chrome one. I think the chrome grill might look good as long as it has the chrome headlights like the one in the pic

[RedGalant2k1]

Body color grill with a white car, looks and flows much nicer.

[beam514]

so i better see you at MOD then next year

[SkylineG1]

That black VIP galant is 100% uncut sex.

[Sillyasianz]

Great Idea!
BUT Im always into white cars.
The Lexus will be painted all white eventually, just as the Galant will be.
Look at my sig, same setup. all white, no Fiberglass this time, and center grill/front bumper will be black.

I will have the chrome grill too. He's giving me the painted JDM and JDM chrome one.

I can get the pillars in chome, all door handles in chrome, and just as my SSR Vienna, get some wheels that are bright....but well see.

The car will stay as with with HIDs for heads/fogs as the first mod to make it more safe @ night.

We'll see what I do. His car is already done really.

Just Suspension, Wheels, and misc minor touches to it is all it needs.

But trust I wont be cheap and take my time on the wheels. That will really set the car off.

Im just still not sure the way 240sx people measure their cars to maximize what Wheels and tires they can push.

Thankfully my friend is a moderator at Zilvia.net and will do all that math for me :P

[Reelax]

i wanna see 20x12 poke.

[Sillyasianz]

lol. crazy. I cant even do that on the lexus.

Im only gonna do a full flat fender roll all around, largest camber kit available, and a MILD pull @ most.

No fender flares.

I want this to be as much Fiberglass free as I can.

Wheels I havent even started to shop cause knowing me, I'll buy them already. lol

[Reelax]

20x10.5 then. it will fit if the offset and camber are perfect (w/ folded fenders).

[njjfudge]

idk, i say ditch the lex and do the G big. thats me though. i doubt anybody else will agree, but everybody on VSC couldnt deny how dope this is
http://a288.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/107/l_6987db2ef3feb39812b4d24c61cc29e7.jpg
got these specs too

I love that G............got a pic of it too

everytime i post my car on VSC that car is posted by someone else right after lol

[VIPtint]

from my math you can do 18x10.5 +36, 18x10 +31, 18x9.5 +25, 18x9 +19, 18x8.5 +13
if you want 19 i would try 19x10.5 +mid 40 ish

ill slap my front scara on my rear to test it if you want. its a 19x9.5 +35, so i can easily do the math on 19s too but i need to test it first.

[Reelax]

19x10.5 +(40-50) will definately rub strut in the rear. my 19x8.5 +48 is very close allready and camber corrected... go negative and it will touch (especially on full compression). 19x10.5 +20 might do the trick; 3mm more inner clearance and 53mm more extended (gonna have to fold, pull, poke and stretch). your 18x8 +15 (-5 spacer = +10 total) extends 37mm more than mine but also has 44m more clearance inside than my wheels. check your 19x9.5 +35 for clearance to rear strut for a better idea, you'd have a more concrete idea of final offset since your running heavy negative camber and have less innner clearance than me right now. probably gonna have to stretch 235's or even 225's to get this to tuck. it's gonna be real close (but that's the whole point right)!

[RedGalant2k1]

Backspace is a easy measurement to know and give you what does and what doesn't fit, but I'm not going to give any more input on the subject.

[VIPtint]

yeah thats why i need to test, my math is all from the QP. i have no idea if it will hit the spindle. but once i test fit my 19 i can better idea of what specs will do. i wouldnt suggest going with anything wider than a 9.5 in the rear of a G.

[Reelax]

Backspace is a easy measurement to know and give you what does and what doesn't fit, but I'm not going to give any more input on the subject.

it's just that the available space to suspension is going to be affected by negative camber, that's why VIPTINT and i are seeing different things... that's why mine fit well (even at full strut compression) slammed BUT camber corrected... i know they would not fit at current ride height and still allow suspension travel if i was not camber corrected. i theorize 10-10.5 can be done w/o flares but it is going to be a question of mm's clearance on both inside and outside in the rear and fender folding/cutting (and probably pulling) will be required.

actually the camber doesnt matter because regardless of camber the spindles goes with it. so if you camber the wheel, the spindle tilts inward too. but with a bigger diameter wheel it gets closer to the spindle cuz it arches outward, so i have to test the 19. i can calculate it for 18 though.

its sprinkling so i wont test it today

Welcome back to the g game bro

19x10 or 10.5 won't fit unless you run 6" of backspace or less. And if you run less you are running a lower offset as a result, and bringing the wheel outer lip in line with the fender. Even if you put a 18x10 or 10.5" its not going to clear the fenders. You'd have to have a stupid skinny tire to clear the rear knuckle and fender.

And lets be honest a 10 or 10.5" wheel will not fit anything less than a 235, and that is with mega stretch on it. Even if you fit a 225 why would you want to? And I'd hope it wouldn't be a daily vehicle.

It all matters no matter what you think. If you didn't use excessive camber or cutout your fender lip the wheels you so adamantly say fit wouldn't fit. Regardless of what is thought I know quite a bit about what fits and how to make it fit correctly without running stupid amounts of camber or modifying your rear knuckle.

Anyways...welcome back Silly. Can't wait to see how your next G turns out.

[Sillyasianz]

Camber @ rear will be max (probably -2.5 or more)

Ride Height will be either as low as before on coils (little above cigarette box length) Or air suspension

Stretched Tire for sure, not extreme, but a stretch none the less.

....Not dont all get excited. I dont plan to spend $$ money asap on this car. I will keep putting into account the info your all posting...


We actually should start a wheel and tire 101 with measurements and tire sizes/brands like we have on VSC Norman :)

Maybe we can change the mindset of some of the TGC people from Tuner to VIP in respect to the wheel setups...

HE SOLD THE CAR....After I told him on AIM I want it. He sold it. I dont know what Im going to do now.
If I cant get the car and parts completely, im scrapping the whole plan and using the money to pay all my debits
.......OMG....

[Jeffylou87]

Wtf!!!???

[Ivory8g]

....the fuck!?!?.....

[Sillyasianz]

We cleared it up.

As of right now the car and parts is still reserved for me.

Im not gonna think either or until the car is in my hands.

...

even if we did, there's only a handful on here that would run really nice wheels (only like 5-10 really nice sets on this board)... and even less of this community is willing to do what it takes to run aggressive fitament at scraping heights, or to put up w/ the accompanying hassle and expense. VIP is exclusive for a reason.

[Sillyasianz]

Fine, fine.

Trying to drop some knowledge, but the MAN aka Ronnie keeps kicking them down.

*insert porn music*

isn't that what we always wish for!?!?

[Sillyasianz]

lmao!

chicka-pow-wow

[Sillyasianz]

So here is the plan:

Day1:
Drive the astro van up north to get the car and parts.
-Drive stock home with van full of goodies behind.
-Install what I need.
-Post for sale with pics what I dont need.
-Install HID 6k kit to heads low and fogs
-Install Nardi Woodgrain Shift knob from old Galant
-Install NRG hub/quickrelease from old Galant
*Interchange Nardi Woodgrain Steering wheel from Lexus to Galant*
(both have NRG quickrelease)

Drive like that for a while....

Eventually..within 2009... :smt020
-Install camber kit rear and replace front camber kit if any issues
-Drive to my friends house who builds Mini Trucks and is a master fabricator for air suspensions for a custom kit for the car... hehehe :smt096
-Get the REAL JDM wheels as wide and low an offset @ 19s I can do
-Stretch the hell out of the tires to maximize low offsets w/o rubbing
-Roll fenders more if needed w/ my Eastwood Fender roller I have
-Pull fenders professionally if needed
-Paint the Galant and Lexus the same white color I decide

Done! :smt063

where is the car? u need another driver to ride up? i got ur back since you always had mine back in the day on my car (i remember the astro van!).

[Sillyasianz]

The GF ruthie, remember her...lol...is driving.

But well see. If I have her drive the van or galant home..:smt021 who knows what could happen to either car, or she'll wanna stop here and there etc and make it never ending! :smt013 Plus you smoke like a chimney! Neither ride is smoker allowed. :smt046

She lives with me now in mission hills.

You should come visit or ill visit your pad, if its the same near the dealerships...just cant do ur gated driveway, cant imagine how you do....

You WILL be soldering the wires for the HIDs to harness as last time. Until you do, its gonna be like before, splice, butt connectons, and electrical tape.

Make the time for me :) we gotta catch up.

yeah my driveway is a bitch. i come within .5" of touching down everytime i go through it, thank god my TEINS are stiff enough to stay set at the height i have it.

i'll wire for you, no sweat. we'll do it up in bel air (that driveway is easier!), or at ur pad.

[Sillyasianz]

MY pad. bel air driveway and drive isnt the safest too. Plus my pad is near, where 405 and 118 meet :)

Dude, in my lexus my suspension is so stiff and low...I get stuck in some driveways and have to put it in neutral and push it back.

Imagine my car, RWD, 3 wheel motion, sideways on a driveway, going NO WHERE :doh:

BTW, why the hell are u awake crackhead.

Im stuck @ work till 730am...

[lonestar22]

ehhh guess its time for me to catch up... new wheels.. front lip, coilovers definantly. hope everything works out

[DryBear]

Isn't the guy up in Sacramento? Hit up us NorCal heads when you get here :)

[Sillyasianz]

:) will do.

Wish my ls could fit all the parts. id roll up north in it

[Jeffylou87]

What are you going to be selling?

[Sillyasianz]

ill create a sale thread once i have decided what i dont want. dont be calling dibs retarded early now :P

[DryBear]

Dibs!

[QnzMostWanted]

Dibs!

x2 :lol:

Well, you know what I want...

[4-G-rim]

Dre..take tons of pics of the road trip up and road trip down with the new Galant:cool: I am sure between here and myspace, there will be tons of pics. From what your plans are...this Galant sounds like its gonna look SICK! I eventually would like to have a VIP'ish car...the VIP look has been slowly becoming more appealing. If the new Galant looks near what the Galant ZT prototype....VIP 10g is on the go!! :cool:

[nokcy21]

thanks DRE for picking up the car today, Hope you enjoy having a 8G again

[Sillyasianz]

Whew! Left my pad @ noon, headed north, had some Artisan Pizza w/ a pitcher of Hef beer and JUST GOT BACK NOW.

Mission complete.

Thanks for the car man.

Sorry 4-G-Rim, only took like 1 or two shots, it was raining and wasnt a scenic route. I would have just had shots of cows and tumbeweeds.
