Thx Adrian! Yeah I think sometimes I take my car for granted & forget how nice it looks. Its like if a hot girl you know becomes your friend, and you see her all the time. Then you kinda become used to it and are like "Ehh she's cool". Then one day she's dressed up in a tight dress and a friend of yours is like "Damn who's that?", and your like "Oh thats my friend". Then you realize again, "Damn, she does look good huh?" LOL!

Yeah I gotta get some new dig cam shots of Ivory since the last time was last June.

See the difference with that is, she's my wife. And she's a car enthusiast herself, and knows how much that car means to me, so she is careful when she drives it. In addition, I get to drive her car, which is dope bcz its faster than Ivory and handles better :) LOL! Kinda sux tho bcz she has bragging rights, for now... MUAAAAHHAAAAHAAA!!! **maniacally laughs into the darkness**

Finally put my header back on yesterday, and since it was off and started rusting I decided to primer and paint it with some High Temp (2,000 degrees F) paint. So here's the pic of it painted and installed:

Thx man, no its a Megan Racing Header.

[E_Emerson88]

how hard is it to take off/install header?

[IVORY_G]

how hard is it to take off/install header?

Not that bad actually, pretty easy:
-Remove 2 bolts from heat shield (Cali Spec)
-Remove O2 sensor
-Remove 8 bolts that are bolted to the head (Swivel Socket needed)
-Jack up front end of car
-Remove 2 bolts where header connects to downpipe
-Remove gaskets from top and bottom and replace with new one
-Install Header and bolt everything back the way you found it.
-Done

Takes at most an hour if your slow, 20 mins if ur good.

After swapping for the Outlander IM, I had to relocate the dipstick tube. Guess the place I chose didnt workout to well bcz the hood was hitting the handle of the dipstick and ended up snapping off. One day I opened the hood to see this...
http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q260/will_nate/8a5b7182.jpg

So lucked up at the junkyard and found an 8G dipstick. I cut it down to a size that wouldnt hit the hood of the car anymore, & voila!

So update, took it for a test drive, and the bitch felt like I had solid metal motor mounts installed! LOL! FML! Way too much vibration, I was afraid it might break my IM, sooo back to the drawing board. I think I'll just have to get a Carbing STB, if it'll fit. Which it looks like it should but not sure...

Next mod is prob gonna be battery relocation to trunk. Looking at Summit's/ Moroso's kit, anybody know anything about them?

[deeznutz]

i'm def on the same page as you but the time spent isn't worth the $60 for buying some ebay one that fits no.. thats just my opinion..

[beam514]

haha yeah. IMO I wouldn't use that extra brace anyway. I don't like the eBay STBs because they are bolted only on one point at either end (ie, able to pivot). Not nearly as stiff as the stock Eclipse one.

[IVORY_G]

eBay STB arent worth crap IMO. The reason I added the extra bar is because the 3G STB is meant to be mounted to the firewall on the eclipse. But it doesnt line up on the 8G to do so; and I was able to move the STB with one hand while firmly mounted. So I added that to strengthen it, which it is now solid. I really want that Carbing STB now though...

LOL! No wouldnt be buying a BMW, & I didnt want it to come out this way, but let me explain...

I have been struggling with the thought for a while, and decided to do it and see what happens. I love the G & have put so much into it, but Im at a crossroads right now. Either sell it now, or keep it for good. Reason being is I need a Truck/SUV for room for me and my family of 4. The Galant is just not enough room to suit our needs anymore.

My wife's Altima is a ways from being paid off, and she commutes a good distance to and from work & I dont. So she needs to keep her gas efficient vehicle; not get a gas guzzler. She is against me selling the car bcz she knows how much I love it & I have put into it, but understands my desire for having a truck.

Im looking at Tahoe's & Suburban's because thats what I fit in most comfortably and thats whats within my budget. If it was an ideal situation, (meaning I had more $$$) I would buy a truck/SUV, & keep the G & turn it into a wknd autocross track beast. But thats not how things are so, it is what it is. If Im not offered what its worth to me out of a sale, then I will keep it.

[blue8g]

By family of 4 you mean two kids?

[M-Rod]

Don't feel bad. I'm at a crossroads myself. Though for different reasons, it's still a hard decision. What's meant to happen, will happen.

Thx man, but I still do. Whats your reason for selling?


Sent from "Straight Outta Cali" using Tapatalk

[M-Rod]

not exactly selling it yet, but parting it out and selling it with stock parts would make a decent improvement towards a down payment on a house this year. The other potential reason is I'm considering 3000GT VR-4's and Stealth R/T TT's. But I might just keep it. It's always hardest to part ways with something you've put so much time, work, and money into.

Pssh you won't need anything that big.

Get a station wagon.

More than enough room. More fun to drive (than comparable SUV's/Vans/heck some are more fun than the G). Better on gas, trust me you'll hate Tahoes/Suburbans. Plus they look cool.

Naw, not a fan of station wagons myself. I like trucks way more. Ive had a few friends who have Hoes & Burbans, & Ive driven them before. Theyre pretty easy to drive IMO, in contrast to the big ass FedX trucks I drive for a living.

Why not save up slowly for an SUV and just keep the galant, unless you're truly sick of the car, you're not going to get back how much you invested, if you want the most money, you'll have to part it out and sell it stock. Best of luck with whatever your decision may be.

If the car doesnt sell for what I want, then that is exactly what I'll do. I know I wont get back what I invested, but you gotta "chalk that up to the game" when u modify your car. Its a bad investment in most cases. I dont have the heart to tear her down and part her out back to OEM. Thats like destroying my own work of art IMO. Too much work and not worth it to me.
We'll see what happens...

As of right now the Galant is no longer for sale. My best friend is interested in buying it, but is awaiting some more funds to come around.

[beam514]

LOL! Naw it has to be metal. I hit it with a socket wrench, monkey wrench, big ass screwdriver, then with a big ass pipe that the tow truck guy had. Still nothing!

Yes it took them a cool minute to get it right and it still scraped the muffler; and the front bumper paint cracked a lil on the bottom from flexing against the cable line.

And to top off insult to injury, one of my freaking OZ center caps fell off a wheel!!! WTF???!!!

[beam514]

[IVORY_G]

Nice, notice any differences between the hid kits? DDM is all I've ever owned so..

Thx man, naw no difference. Im hoping I will have the same longevity as the ONEX if not better. Its definitely a better warranty tho. I had them for several years so it was about time for them to burn up.


nice, did you clean up all of that HID wiring as well?

Thx, yeah I relocated the ballasts and tried to tidy up the wires a lil more. Was a pain in the ass to do my fogs bcz I didnt have my jack, theres not alot of places to put a 2nd ballasts without stacking, and I had to trim the fog housing to accomodate all the extra wires. Took me way longer than expected...

Thx man. Only thing is now Im gettn a flicker from my driver's side fog. Is that a defect or did I do something wrong?

[Galantman03]

Did you burn in the HIDS correctly? I know when I got mine I left them on for about 30 mins when I first turned them on. Mine flickered for about week, and then just dissapeared, and got brighter, but I have cheapo ebay ones.

What do you mean? I didnt know there was a process...

[Galantman03]

you usually have to give the new HID bulbs time to break in. They call it burning in for some reason, its usually leave them on for 10 to 20 mins on the first time you turn them on. I think it just makes the bulbs last longer honestly.

Thx man, I now need to install my rear sway bar, purchase a set of GR-2's (since my AGX's are done & money's tight), redo my headliner, black floor carpet, and get my extra set of door trims painted satin black.
Im still debating on whether I want to do my roof in Satin Black or Dry CF vinyl... I know either would look dope but I dont want extra attention from Cops either. Seems like it'll make me stand out more like "Look @ me! Im modified!" And since everything is not completely "legal", I dont want to give them a reason to pull me over and start writin me up.

[Galantman03]

I personally don't like the carbon fiber vinyl, satin black vinyl would look hot, center of the hood to the hood lines, the whole roof, and then the trunk, but just the top of the trunk. Sometimes you just gotta out run them so they can't stop you lol, jk though

[RedGalant2k1]

DDM Tuning > VVME > Onex

My HIDs are Onex and have worked very well for nearly 4 years. Far longer than many folks with the DDMs.

And you should do the headliner if dry CF!

GTZ rear sway bar. It would be the Dry CF for the roof. I dont think I'd do the headliner but maybe the door trims...

Looks dope. Love the clean look. Looks alot like my old setup before all the CF, I kinda miss that look.

Thx man, yeah it does look alot alike. But your car still looks dope and much more aggressive. Being that mine is a DD, I couldnt ride around like that without catching flack from Police and Ricers all day.
I remember when you were prepping your car for paint, and you did the license plate delete. I was like "Oh shit he's gonna have it painted before I have mine done!" LOL!
I bought my bumper from RAZ_76 back in June/July of '08 with the license plate delete done and bumper primed, and thought I'd be the first with it, then you came along and squashed that dream! LOL! Then when I saw how good the grille we have looked on your, Qnz, & njjfudge's car, I had to have it!


O.o you wired up the tail lights to be like that?

If it works for you and your ok with it then by all means.

But to me it looks like when in park mode the inner red portion is lit up too bright. The way they should be is all the red should be dim and all the red should light up for brakes.

[Skyforger]

Dude, mine don't do that. They all are lit for running lights, and brake lights. You sure the second filaments aren't blown in the stop/tail bulbs?

Check them, see if they're 7443, or 7440.

7443 are dual filament bulbs, 7440 are single. I have the feeling that's your issue.

IDK, but I dont think any of the filaments are blown bcz all my bulbs are brand new. I had to buy all of them when I bought the tails bcz the ones that came with them were all blown. All of these fit in the sockets also.
I think having all four lights on lit for running would be more confusing for other drivers IMO. It doesnt bother me much the way its setup right now, you can def tell the difference between my running lights and brake lights so Im content for now...

[oakrdrs187]

Lets not start a riot about this. But in the most respectful manner, your current setup is more confusing. They look like rear fogs. If you look at your first picture the outer reds are dimmly lit or at least it looks that way. Thats is how the entire red portion should look and your second picture should be the way it is with the exception of the inner lights dimming also as you let off your brakes. Good thing you're here in cali and inspections are lenient otherwise you might fail an inspection.

[E_Emerson88]

Good thing you're here in cali and inspections are lenient otherwise you might fail an inspection.

The outer portions look dimmly lit due to the lights reflecting from the middle portions. If they were actually dimmly lit, I think there would be more of an eletrical issue, and the out portions would be more noticably lit up.

I dunno why, but I just have the feeling 7440 bulbs are in the outer sockets, you can put 7440 bulbs in a dual filament 7443 socket.

[wetamup2k3g]

Vic, his pics are misleading, you gotta look at the glare to see this, but his running lights actually are dimmer than his brake lights. His camera looks like it had a high sensitivity to compensate for the low light, so when you photograph a light source in low light, it looks deceptively bright. The only way to tell the difference between the dim and the brights is to look at the glare around the lights.

http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k525/wetamup2011/SettleTheScore1.jpg

Glare is small, and there's no glare at all from his outer brake lights.

http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k525/wetamup2011/SettleTheScore2.jpg

Glare is much larger, indicating more light, and both lights have the same amount of glare. The camera did a bad job of showing the difference. I like having both my lights dim on my JDM's, and I like having both my lights bright when I hit the brakes.

Yeah, I'm with you Chris, single filaments are in the outer sockets, duals in the inner ones.

[oakrdrs187]

lmao!!! your kidding right?

I have never heard of anyone fail an inspection here in cali, in fact me my friends or family have never went for inspection. Only inspection I got was before a driving test for the basics. Don't mistake vehicle saftey inspection for smog check. I know we are the biggest pain in the ass for that.

Ezackly what I was trying to say myself.

[IVORY_G]

Thx for clearing that up Greg. Well @ any rate, the outers are prob single filament while the inners are dual. To me what's important is that it works and you know when I'm applying the brakes. I know I searched the info here on TGC before my install, but I don't remember where. It was a pain in the ass trying to find the all bulbs, and I had to end up going to different parts stores, because one had these while the other didn't. So at the end of the day I don't feel like messing with it anymore. Whenever the bulbs blow out, then I will go in and check everything and replace the necessary bulbs. Until then it's done, it works, end of story.

[wetamup2k3g]

No prob, for the record I don't think your lights are unsafe or nothing, car is actually rather vicious homie!

9) Rear Door speakers (at the bottom)

Leaving the mirrors black? either way it looks good just curious.

They are staying black. These are the Mirage LS mirrors which were originally body color (silver) from the donor cars I got them from, unlike the other mirage models where they come black with black trim. I got these specifically because I wanted a completely paintable surface and to have them painted matte black to match the wheels. That way it won't get that faded scratchy black look after a while from aging.

[IVORY_G]

Also what size speaker u plan to put in the rear doors, I been thinking about doing that too, but don't want to put the grills on it, more like inside the door hidden like the fronts
HTC EVO 4G

6.5" speakers probably

Well you sir have a nice car. i am going to have to grab me some of those 2nd gens

[stayer]

I like the interior. I would add the panel to the immersion print, in the same style. For example dark red wood or light walnut. It will be in harmony with your black inserts. Think about it...

[stayer]

LOL, the inscription Galant, this in order not to forget, for a car ride? I think this is unnecessary.

I had woodgrain before if you look in the past pages, I wanted a change now. I had an extra set of "GALANT" letters and decided to put them there to use up the empty space. I like it, that's all that matters to me.

[stayer]

Yes, of course, you are the owner of a car and do what you like. You don't like the carbon on the panel?

I'm not sure what you mean by "immersion print" or "carbon on the panel"...

Sorry for my broken English.

[IVORY_G]

Oh I see what you mean now, maybe in the future. I'm on the fence about doing CF it's been done so much already...

[greddy]

^not so much, I can't think of many people who have full CF interiors other than me, cali's old car, billet's car.

I'm not talking in terms of just Galant's but with imports in general. It's just not as appealing to me as it used to be. I had originally thought of doing these pieces in CF that were painted black, but decided against it.

I plan to lower the front down from two finger gap to one finger gap, and raise the rear from no finger gap to either half a finger gap or one finger gap as well. Then need to get some endlinks, camber kit, an alignment, and some new tires. I should be good to go after that :)

One finger gap all around should look perfect, I'm at 1 finger gap rear and 2 finger gap front but want to lower the front a little.

What are your dampening settings F/R? How the ride Harsh, stiff, comfy, compare to the teins and AGX you had before .

Looks Great ;)

[deeznutz]

No prob dude ;) I miss them but lucky me I gotz some tein's in the white G

Those BC's are great not harsh at all best bang for your buck period! Feel "almost" the same as my tein's.

Thx! I set it to 16 clicks out of 32 F&R. At that setting its kinda stiff, especially on the freeway, but handling is dope! I cant imagine wanting to go any stiffer right now, LA streets suck donkey bawls! LOL! If I was in AZ then maybe...
So I might soften it up a bit, since I was so used to the Teins/AGX's. When I had the AGX's at 4 they were still softer than these at 16 IIRC. I need to break myself in to the stiffer ride slowly lol! But overall they still ride better/ softer than I thought they would, Im sure at a lower setting they're prob really soft...

New Drop looks very good. Just what the car needed.

Thx! Yeah originally my concept for the car was OEM modified, so the mild drop worked well. Then when I went all JDM and got these wheels, all that went out the window! LOL! So the extra drop was inevitable to finish up the aggressive looks.


Tein ss-p

You lucky Bastard! LOL!
