Is my galant worth it????

[RollinBishiStyle]

Ok im planning on putting in header, cai, and afc(and have it tuned) I have a 99 v6 auto. My question ois simply is it worth. I will eventually mod more but that will be it for now. What can i beat with that? Prelude, Si , or Jetta 1.8t? I fi cant beat some rice them i dont even wanna bother. (The other cars being stock). And yes i know the driver matters. Does anybody have this setup that could tell me what they have beat or some quarter mile times, or maybe somebody could give some educated guesses. I appreciate any help.

[MrDomu]

Fellow '99 v6 auto owner here....... It really depends on how you feel about the car. I love mine and I keep cars till the are dead (used to buy GM's). I was also never able to build a car like a '69 Camaro or something. Those days are over, BUT, to see one of those cars today, all duked out, mint and with LOTS of real power to back it up, is something to appreciate. So in 2030 when we are driving electric cars, you just might see a duked out '99 G v6 auto rolling by you............. 8)

[APBRSX-S]

Im thinkin yea u could take a 1.8t but im doubtin a new lude mabey a older 1

[BlueESV6]

Is it worth it? Only you can answer that one for yourself.

You know what you want and you know where you are financially.... mod, drive, enjoy.... maybe you can take a prelude and maybe not....

but knowing you are looking good makes the drive that much sweeter!

[J. T. Z.]

The Galant is a nice car that can achieve some descent speeds. However, a sports car it is not. I don't think you could get a new Prelude Si, but maybe the turbo. Is it worth it? Well, that's more of a personnal opinion. I love my car. I could own a new Prelude Si if I chose to. But then I would be just like everyone else on the block or that you see at the shows. I went to the Lowrider Import and Lowrider Car show in Englishtown a few months ago and I believe I was one of only six(tops) Galants there over the two day event. Too many Hondas to mention. If you asked me if you car is worth it I would say HELL YEAH!

[Black2k1GTZ]

If you do those mods then I think you could take alot of Civics, Accords etc. If your car is a Cali spec...then you ill get even more power out of it. Like you said the driver does have alot to do with it. I think if you are going to go that far then I would also recomend getting a 70mm throttle body, and 2.5" exhaust piping. That will give you a nice sounding car with some balls...the nicest thing about it will be the fact that people will look at your galant and think..."...oh its just a family car....wait shit that family car just smoked my ass..."


Itll be nice...I say go for it!!!!!!


Marc :mg:

[pinoyesv6]

with those mods u can beat many cars out there. ov course if they are modded too, you can't really say if you can't beat them too.

a lil note on the jetta, if its a 2001 or older you got a good chance of winning. but if its the 2002+ good luck, ur gonna need it, especially if its the manual

[Tiller]

no... don't waste your money... you want a fast car, buy something else....

What exactly is the 70mm throttle body ive heard something about it before but dont know what the deal with it is, how much?

[Alister_McRae]

Personally, if i had the money to put down on a reasonably affordable sports car, i would get Subura WRX used or something along those lines, but i also think the Galant is a very nice looking car, especially for a sedan. If you look at most family sedans, there ugly, like the camry, and diamante. But the Galant has a sporty look to it, especially with a spoiler.

[GalantT3]

RollinBishiStyle,

I say do what you want and then stop when you feel your going overboard. But I agree with Tiller I say if youre all about performance, forget all the trivial stuff and go big time get a supercharger or a turbo! And besides you are starting with a v6 engine so that should be more than enough reason to do some performance modifications.

I think the mission for most of us on this board is not to turn their Galant into pure sports car but, to give the Galant sports car type qualities as well as having something thats unique from everyone out there. And also to prove to ricers as well as other people up who tend to think all Galants are just slow grocery-getters and are not capable of being hooked up or even remotely fast. And then when they get smoked by a Galant at a traffic light or on the freeway or on a back road, they wont be so quick to bad mouth the car and they will keep their mouths shut. I think thats what most people on this board are setting out to do, well if not anyone else, thats what Im setting out to do. Im tired of people thinking that you have to Honda if you want to hook up your car! Every car is capable of being fast...

But will you be able to beat everything else on the road? No
But will you be able to hold your own on the freeway or at a traffic light against most cars? Yes

Also if you still feel proud to drive your car it shouldnt matter how much you spend on it.
All I know is it doesnt matter if I am next to a new Altima or new Infiniti G35. I still feel proud to be in my 8G Galant and when that feeling changes, then and only then will I stop spending money on the car.

So, if you still love your car whats the big deal if you spend some cash on improving the performance? when it gets to the point that your sick of looking at the car and you have lost all interest in it. Stop spending the cash on the Galant and get something else.

[Cyniket]

Im just going to kind of take off the previous post by GalantT3

I love my 00' Galant, I have said time and time again to my friends and to people who are ragging on me because I have done mods to my galant. They think I have the set of mind that Im going to be able to beat everyone on the road. I know thats not true, and I will never ever be able to beat everyone on the road. Their will always be someone faster than me and everyone for that matter. My objective is to have my car stand out from all the Honda's and Accura's and all of the Trendwhore cars that people drive and distinguish my Galant from them, I want my galant to look good, but, I also want it to have some bite to it's bark. I already have my bite down on Civics and ricers like that. But I really just want to be able to hold my own on the road. Even if someone does beat me, I want to be able to give them a run for their money. All in all it comes down to this for me, It would not matter if a Nissan Skyline VSPEC-R pulled up beside me (granted I would look and drool) but I would be no less prouder to be sitting behind the wheel of my g-ride. 8)

[Dominicano]

i think making a galant beat other car that should be beaten a thrill. I think it was on the old site that they posted a minivan doing 10 secs on a 1/4 so talk about sleeper https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tiller)</div><div class='quotemain'>no... don't waste your money... you want a fast car, buy something else....</div>

I'm gonna go with Tiller on this. If you're primary concern is being fast and beating people, get a car more designed for that. You can get a Mk 3 Supra pretty cheap and it has a ton of parts to build up to awesome power. I test drove one, V6 turbo, and the pull it had was wonderful. Plus targa roof was cool https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif But anyway, it's not what we think that matters, it's what you want. But that's my opinion.

Examples:
1991 Supra Turbo ('http://www.autotrader.com/findacar/vdetail.jtmpl?car_id=106462389&dealer_id=&max_price=&start_year=1990&end_year=1992&address=17356&search_type=used&make=TOYOTA&model=SUPRA&min_price=&distance=300&advcd_on=n&advanced=n&color=&car_year=1991')
1991 Supra Turbo ('http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1852441481')(can't believe he willingly put those wheels on, heh
1992 Supra Turbo ('http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1851830733')

[ozkrow]

IN ONE WORD..NO!
lets get real now, theres is no way you can beat any of the cars you listed...face it a 1.8t jetta will smoke us in a 1/4 mile...and any other decent car will do the same... besides you will see very little gains. and anyone with a decently moded civic can kik our ass.

my advice is to use your money on LOOKS rather than performance...rims etc. will be a better investment...or you can do like im doing and keep your car stock cuz its not worth fixin up and get a older car with some balls and hook that spit up...of course im gonna write the car off as a business expence...so i can write all that turbo and crap off and have uncle sam give me a tax break..hehehe its cool having ur own company...and its good that im only 21..ehehehehe

[GalantT3]

I dont know about any decently modded civic beating Galants but as for as the jetta 1.8T yeah that is true. But thats what I told him dont waste money on the trivial crap if hes all about racing get a turbo kit or a supercharger. :thumbsup:

[Cyniket]

I beat civics with pride. The SI's will give me a little run for my money but I have beaten them and shut their trash talking up.

uhhhh no.

There is a dude rolling in a Civic SI with I/H/E and he can't run faster than 15.5 or above. Just because you had a Civic that you clocked a 15 with doesn't mean every civic will clock 15s with just a Intake.

[APBRSX-S]

ummm A Type S with I/E will barley run 15 sec wit a really good driver and a Type S eats most Si's (of course not the turbos)

[T-O-P]

All points I agree with .. I also think that if you want your galant to be REALLY fast, and want to stand out(without a doubt you will) and be in car magazines for your hard-working money and efforts? HELL YEAH! go for it if you're motivated. Getting an already fast car can get played out I think . pretty much from the other car saying "Oh, that' why .. he's got money", or for having the suppsed up galant, .. "God Damn! .. WTF?!! Did you see that????!!! Jesus christ!!!!" .. What response do you want?

Supping up the galant to beat most stock or some supped up cars (especially honda's) I also resepect.

Making the car look good I respect to a point IMO. Rims, lights and stuff like that is cool .. but I mean .. c'mon . you gonna throw a body kit on the galant? Better back that up with performance .. seriously ..

[ozkrow]

well you kinda zonked urself on this one... the only way u can get a galant suped up is if u got money...face it everything has to be custom,turbo,etc... so its always gonna be about the money...and lets not act dumb here...isnt that all you really need? the all mighty dollar can make u as fast as u want!!!

[T-O-P]

Ehhh not really. It depends on how you look at it .. Having an already fast and expensive looking car is a dead give away. Having a supped up Galant show's (IMO) character and effort, and a bunch of that glory crap. Much more worthy IMO...

[Auto-9]

The best comment anyone can give my car is "whoa...you've got a sleeper!" Not wow your car is blazing fast, not your car handles like a Corvette, rides like a Lexus, none of that. So in my case...yes, the Galant is worth hooking up. I think almost any car is worth modding personally...I've been to car shows and such and it's amazing what people can do to Accords, Civics, Eclipses, BMWs, etc...it's all really cool in the end.

Type-S 13.9
Si 16.31

those are the respective hp to weigh ratios, you can obvioulsy see the "S" has a huge advantage over the Si... And I gaurantee you that the Si will run a 15.0 1/4 with an intake, clutch and tires...

oh, an my Si had a power to weight ratio of about 9.8 and she ran 13's all day long...

Exactly, it's all about money. If I had thosands of dollars lying around to go turbo, upgrade tranny, stuff like that then I could do it. But the reason the post was started was by someone asking about low cost (comparatively) bolt on mods. If the guy had the money to go the turbo route, he probably would, and wouldn't even had start this thread. Basically what I'm trying to say is, buget wise, it makes more sense to get an older second car like a DSM, Supra, Galant VR4 https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif , etc. My friend has a fast car. 240SX with the SR20DET swap. Let me tell you, it's fast as fuck, and so much fun, but it's his daily driver. It's loud, sucks gas, and has no cargo room. It's cool for him now I guess, being that he's 20, but gas is expensive, and he can't transport more than one other person anywhere. There's nothing like having a nice quiet, smooth ride to get your around town, then you could take the monster out on weekends.

Well looking where it says taken from clubrsx.com just below the times, the guy posting it has RSX in his name, along with most of the people with times having RSX in their names I tihnk it would be safe to assume the car he is posting about would be THE RSX! Wow, that took some heavy detective work to figure out :roll:

Sure it was lack of info by him and not lack of brains by you?

[BigAlBrown]

If you are debating whether the Galant is a suitable base to start modding for a street ride, consider recent tests in magazines of similar cars. A Galant is just a 3G Eclpse with a more restrictive muffler and a longer wheelbase. Event the weights are nearly the same.
Car and Driver did a 6 car test where the 3g came in second, and posted the fastest road course time of all the cars tested. They said it didn't feel fastest as it was so relaxed. I just call that composure. Remember the final fight scene in 'the Matrix' where Keanu Reeves blocks everthing one-handed, while looking at the other hand? Why let them see you sweat if you don't have to?

Last month Car and Driver tested a Dodge Stratus (which they said was a 3G Eclipse underneath, Wrong, acturally more like a 2door Galant). While the Mustang GT V8 was the fastest in the quarter and 0-60, again the Stratus/Galant beat the field.

Perception may be reality for most folks, but I like what Mark Twain said;
"It's not all of the weird ideas people have that trouble me, it's all the perfectly normal ones they believe that are completely wrong!"

Seems the 8G is as good a place to start as a grocery getter '60s Nova. How many small and even big block Novas do you see at the track every weekend? I have had a late '80s Mustang GT and I have a 2002 ES V6 now. The v6 won't accelerate like the v8 but the feel of everthing else is as good or better.

Oh lordie, here we go. I hate to get into this topic since I love Hondas, fellow ex-Si owner and have alot of friends with modded Hondas. But, I can't let a good issue pass me by.

First off, I'm not going to bother with 'statistics' to backup any of my claims, as I have 'NO' reason to lie as I'm a fellow GTZ owner myself now. And as I offered in another post, I can and WILL back up ANY of these claims in person if you feel the need to drive to Nashville and run some of my buddies with Honda's. But, from my experience with races involving the cars you listed, this is my opinion:

Prelude - If its model sporting the H22A (200hp w/ 5 spd), no way will you run with it. If It's modded, you will cry when he's done. If you're modded equally, you will want to return your parts. The Prelude pulls VERY strong on the insterstate.. modded Si's get their asses handed to them by these cars daily out here.

Civic Si - Stock for Stock, you will not win. Same mods, you will get dogged on.

Jetta 1.8t - Yet again, you will definately lose. If he has only ONE mod, being a boost controller, you will get slaughtered.

Integra GSR - You will get your ass handed to you. If it's modded, save your gas.

Integra TypeR - I need not even say https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif


In all seriousness, don't build your car to 'outrun ricers' unless you're willing to dump serious cash into your car. Yes, most 'ricers' are shit-talking punks that gave guys like me (true racers) a bad name. They also lose alot of races becuase a) they cant drive worth a shit, https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif they have no mods to boot, c) they rag their engines out. I also hate this because it makes everyone think they can outrun all of the Honda's on the road simply because they beat some ricer in a beatup Civic EX with stickers and bullshit mods.

Also, Tiller is right in his claim. I have, with my own two eyes, witnessed Civic Si's run VERY low 15's on nothing more than an exhaust/intake/header. I've even seen video's on clubsi of a moderator's SiR (Canadian version of the US Si) run a 14.9 with slicks and intake. The Si is highly capable of good numbers with a good driver.

Remember, our car might have 200hp and a 3.0L V6, but they are automatics and weigh alot more than the cars you want to beat. If you want some good, even races; race cars in your class like Non-Si Civic's, Integra RS/GS/LS's, Eclipse GS's and so on. To reach the stars you need a space shuttle, not a telescope.

On a lighter note, I'd LOVE to whoop up on my friend's out here with my GTZ.. but I'm not inane, nor am I naive; It's just not happening. I am looking into turbo kits right now, but my biggest draw back is boosting a damn automatic. And I'm not willing to do an engine swap in a car with 17k miles on it. My plan as of now is to mod this GTZ, then next summer turn it over to my wife (who's into imports as well) and get a new WRX. I want to go fast, look good and have room.. the WRX offers it all.

P.S. If anyone dislikes me now, so be it. If anyone wants to test my claims about the results of the races.. I'll give you my number and we'll setup some races here in Nashville. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

i am ne to the galant site, pretty cool so far. im from honda hook up .com and i stopped by here because my girlfriends dad recently purchased a 2001 esv6. damn nice car, and it has balls. What i am about to say is not ment to rag on the galant, in fact, i have much respect, as I have driven mikes. the car is awesome, but it is no racer. of course it has the potential to become one, i mean hell, its a friggin v6 to start with. but look at it like this, my 1992 prelude si came stock with 160 hp and 127 ib ft of tourqe, i found the car in a classified for 3000$ with 180000miles. purred like a kitten. this year lude wieghed around 2900 pounds, wereas the galant comes in @ the 3300 to 3400 mark (please correct me if Im wrong) these two cars would hold a very close race completely stock. the prelude will win by 1and1/2 car lengths every time. ive raced , I know. so you spend in ecsess of 3000 for a turbo. now your fast. I spend 2500 or less on a vtec motor swap and i will run high13s. the galant is fuc**** awesome , :rockon: but it will not be the rice grinder you want it to be unless you can put some serious cash down. and again, I mean no disrespect and am really enjoying checking out some dope ass galants. and if you ever did make your car a monster, it would be a total sleeper, one last comment, the galant is extremely underrated in my opinion. thanks

[Auto-9]

I never trust posted numbers unless it comes from the best of many drivers...we all know cars can vary a little bit, and it matters who is driving. Heck Car and Driver reported the V6 Galant as having a 9.1 0-60 time, when I managed to pull a 8.5 stock.

Funny you mention RSX hehe.. my friend has a brand new RSX base model sporstronic wtih a custom intake. one day we decided to see how much balls it had, so my friend who drives a 93 Mitsubishi Mirage stock (about 112 hp) - 5 speed-- decided to race against the RSX. My friend with the Mirage beat the RSX by about 3 car lenghts (two times). I was surprised and so was my friend with the Mirage. As for my other friend with the brand new RSX , he was pissed and embarrased as hell, he was speechless. That just shows how much an RSX has. I would expect it even the base model to have balls.. I'm sure it would've been a different story with the type-s but im not even gonna go into that. btw.. Mitsubishis Rock!! lol

Yo calm your ass down dawg, why do you have to act so immature and yea I wanna see you knock me the fuck out, I already spoke turd, Im entitled to speak out, im telling this from experience and im not fabricating it. My friend does know how to use the sportstronic. and for your info my friend with Mirage had a 5 speed stick, and he knows how to drive it really well. You're comparing and RSX with a 4 cylinder Galant Automatic. which weights more than a mirage. Think again...Talking before thinking is like wiping your ass before taking a shit dawg... RSX base model with sporstronic = automatic , sporstronic is automatic, I dont care what anyones says, its nothing like stick. sporstronic is just between automatic and manual when it comes to peformance. And by the way it also depends on the driver as most people know, apperantly you're too ignorant to acknowledge that bone head. Unless your the moderator or the person in charge on this site you can't make me stop from replying. I dont know who you think you are dawg but you better calm it down.

[BlueESV6]

I am amazed this post has gone as long as it has but anyway.... let's tone it down a bit... our ages are beginnning to show!! Threatening is uncalled for as everyone is entitled to thier opinion... whether it be fact or fiction...

As far as racing goes... that is why there are classes. Keeping the playing field even and keeping apples to apples and oranges to oranges...

Personally, I just want to have a nice car that is unique from other Galants. The fact you own a Galant shows you are already different from the rice field!

Mine's fast enough to get a speeding ticket with the best of them! (ha) https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

As far as is it worth it? It's more for the hunt than for the kill...

Type-S 13.9
Si 16.31

those are the respective hp to weigh ratios, you can obvioulsy see the "S" has a huge advantage over the Si... And I gaurantee you that the Si will run a 15.0 1/4 with an intake, clutch and tires...

oh, an my Si had a power to weight ratio of about 9.8 and she ran 13's all day long...</div>

Haha, im not even gonna put myself in your level, you're acting very immature. Like the other guys said, you're showing your age too much. And by the way its not all about the car, alot of it depends on the driver too, that's why different car magazine reviews for cars have different performance datas. You're basing it all on your personal experience, first of all, you're using a 5 speed rsx as an example, im using a sporstronic rsx as an example, so dont even bother..Now think again..or do you want me to keep embarrasing you?? Ask anyone in this board, and they'll tell you that a lot of it depends on the driver also. You're relying it all in the car, that's not how it works...if you have a high performance car and you dont know how to drive it, you think you can beat another person with the same car as you if he knows how to drive it??? and by the way, you're so ignorant, you dont even know how a sporstronic is set up, that just shows how dull you are.. lol D, 4, 3, 2, 1. Keep this in mind, sporstronic in the RSX is only up and down shifting, and by the way it goes up to 5 not 4.. haha it's funny how you think you know so much... and here's the performance data for the mirage 5 speed, which you failed to show I guess cause you just dont want to accept the fact that the base RSX isn't all that after all. Check this peformance data from the mirage. This came from www.autosite.com
