My First G:

I miss it...wish I never sold it.



....This is my second 8G: As soon as I got it home I put the rims on it because they were better than stock until my tires came in for my 20's. (At my friends house using his camera...I sold him my old diamante and he took me to buy this and then I tinted his tails and mine...friends lol)

18's above and below
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/4023/dscn0357.jpg (http://img413.imageshack.us/i/dscn0357.jpg/)

I purchased it with body damage to the driver door and rear pass quarter (funny my first one had the same dent in the quarter panel...common problem with G drivers? idk?) Great bargaining tool from when I purchased the car from this kid...He threw in these 18" rims that he had on the car for two months but put in basement because winter came around.

They are like brand new but I already had a set of 20's but Im not gonna turn them down. lol. Anyone live around MD? Because I will sell them cheap with tires.

Installed 20's last spring

Anyhow I still didnt get around to fixing the body which works out because someone just hit me about two weeks ago. Isnt it lovely?

http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/8440/img0583yy.jpg (http://img11.imageshack.us/i/img0583yy.jpg/)

So now when I get that fixed I will also get the rest of it fixed.

But before that all happens I ordered a Mugen lip for the front. Im friends with my body guy so Imma ask him the best route for molding it on and keeping it sturdy (but I'd appreciate advice on molding from ppl who have it now). Then color match it.


I just installed my 6K bi-xenon heads and fogs today. iPhone pics (all i have at the moment)

(lows with fogs)
Ill have to get pics with the highs on....shit is bright and shoots FAR...but dont want to blind ppl so I will be working on retrofitting mine whenever I get the extra housings. I spent two hours at the junk yard tearing apart these infiniti headlihgts and thought the guy would cut me a break on the price but then he wanted $60 each...wtf. I knew I shouldve put them in my tool box. anyways imma hit up another yard.

I also ordered kyb-gr2's and tein s techs after doing research on here and asking around...this seems like the best decision for me.
Thanks to everyone who helped!
I almost got a hold of some air struts for it but that fell through because of the guy needed the money right away and blah blah blah....
Inside is stock except the radio. My old pioneer avh p6500 head unit and 1000w JL audio amp and (3) 10" JL audio W3..its enough bump for me...and changed gauge cluster bulbs to white leds but they light up the guagues blue and white leds in the hvac controls.
This is the only pic I have of the inside lights before I put the leds in the hvac controls.

fyi: 1)on my way to the gas station...2)yes my seatbelt is not on. Which I normally wear but pulled my phone out to take a pic....i know, real smart. hahaha...3) before I had HID's (such a good investment)



...but will post more pics of my car as I get this stuff I ordered installed.
and when I find a good pic of my car.


JUST FOR LAUGHS.....
My buddy woke up to this on Christmas...Guess What It Is?
http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/7115/img0250i.jpg (http://img214.imageshack.us/i/img0250i.jpg/)



****UPDATED****
Just installed the teins and gr2's after work...also replaced all the studs and lugs on the front turned the rotors and installed new brake pads. Took me about 2 1/2 hours...definitely worth it.

Stopped at the gas station to get a pic and piss.

Will post better pics once I get back from Atlantic City this weekend.

Hopefully I will have time to install my lip sometime next week....and then fixing the body damage and finally painting it. Then I have to put the rims back on it.

[Mike_ODell]

Which rims do you like better? Just curious...

20's

http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/158/img0632bx.jpg (http://img710.imageshack.us/i/img0632bx.jpg/)


18's

http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/7523/img0633w.jpg (http://img403.imageshack.us/i/img0633w.jpg/)

I only put the rims on because some jackass stole one of my hubcaps off my car in Atlantic City. But I had to take the 20's off to get a leak fixed...turns out it is a small crack in the rim. (SUCKS!) So I am rolling with the 18's til it gets fixed. Just wanted opinions on what ppl thought looked better.


And dude is finishing up some projects so he can help me with my body and paint.

[Jeffylou87]

18's look better. I'm not a fan of chrome though..

[Mike_ODell]

Yeah some like it some don't but I like how those rims in your sig make your car look. Someone said they were eclipse wheels true/false? If not what are they they?

[Mike_ODell]

I didnt pick either of these rims out...I got the 18's with the car because I convinced the kid I wouldnt buy the car and then he offered me his rims. I also got a big gym set for free but didnt want to put all the pulleys and cables together and this other guy I work with traded me his 20's for the gym set....although I bought tires for both sets of rims.

The kid I sold my Diamante to wants to trade his stock 17" Diamante wheels and a few dollars for the 18's. What do you think?

diamante wheels: http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/1812/diamantewheelsq.jpg (http://img651.imageshack.us/i/diamantewheelsq.jpg/)

[Mike_ODell]

http://www.capitalwheels.com/images/65769x.gif

[Jeffylou87]

[Mike_ODell]

^LOL...I actually saw your pics on the beach when he mentioned trading the stock for my rims but when I saw him the next day it is a different rim. He has these: http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/4219/diamanteb.jpg (http://img688.imageshack.us/i/diamanteb.jpg/)

I couldnt find a closer pic but those are the rims he wants to trade...Im holding out til I find those eclipse wheels or the 9g ralliart...Unless I find a similar style but chrome. haha

[Corey2kG]

[mrg7243]

[Mike_ODell]

[bigvic]

haha i got the 17" 3g eclipse too but i bought them from a dude that painted them black

[Mike_ODell]

Well....I dont have enough money saved up to paint my whole car yet so my buddy just painted and blended my fender, lip, and gas lid. It will due for now. I am starting college (UMD) back up so mods will most likely be on hold after summer. Im trying to get a lot done now but I really need to save money for rent, food, and gas...etc. Heres a few pics.

http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1986/img0693tg.jpg (http://img18.imageshack.us/i/img0693tg.jpg/)

I have the mesh in the bumper, the wholes on the lip, and around my fogs but iPhone camera wont pick it up.

Stop giving out stupid advice. There have been more than plenty who have fit 9G Galant/4G Eclipse 18" RalliArt wheels on their cars. They fit, little issues, if any. JeffyLou had 9G Ralliart wheels on his car. Gspot has 9G Galant/4G Eclipse wheels (which are the same as the Ralliart, just not the same finish) on his 8G Galant.

So, please, just shut up for the love of God.

Good work on your ride dude. I think 20s are a bit too much but some 19s or 18 will look good.

[Mike_ODell]

Yeah they looked like I was trying to hard to have big wheels on my car...Im looking around now for a new set of wheels.

[RAZ_76]

I personally like the Work Emotion CR KAI
http://www.workwheelsusa.com/product.php?category=27&wheel=80

[Mike_ODell]

Great choice. I just have to keep saving $. People have been faking on buying the rims I have now and I dont have room for a third set of rims to sit around...so far its just my steelies and 20's in storage.

i like the drop , is aggressive

[Mike_ODell]

Thanks. I wish the front was a little lower but it works

[Mike_ODell]

I upgraded a few lights and ordered replacement bulbs for my ac controls.
I posted some pics in another thread but will post better ones here tomorrow/eventually lol. I am looking for projectors and side skirts right now and then on to the rear bumper. Also probably going to get a different steering wheel but mainly focusing on the outside appearance. Then saving and gathering parts for a 5-spd swap. I think I want to do it. We'll see...maybe if I get someone to help me with it.

[WhiteGalant]

1. Think your dude could do a little painting for me? lol
2. I can help with the 5spd swap for sure.
3. I forgot what my third statement/ question was LOL

[Mike_ODell]

I had to beg him to just spray my fender and lip real quick because he is mad busy this time of year doing old classic cars. He is my dads friend so thats they only reason he did it. He said for me to come back in like 3-4 months and he would go over my entire car for 1g. Fix body and paint. So Im trying to collect all my body shit and save money. I will talk to him but positive he cant do it until 3-4 months. I was given a paint gun so I might practice with it on a few things. I just dont have a garage or somewhere covered to paint an entire car. If you know how to use it you can always borrow it. Ive painted rebuilt tractors with it for a year and a half but my boss doesnt want to go through the hassle of painting anymore so he gave me his painting set up. Well what is left of what he didnt break. I still have that lip if you want it...its taking up space in my shed again. We could meet up sometime after the weekend just text or call me. Nights would be better because Im working during the day.

[WhiteGalant]

Mike what led dome lights did you get off of ebay?
