Welcome to TGC! (officially)

Love the new paint job man. I'm glad she looks like new again. I think here you'll learn to go with Japanese parts when it comes to visual upgrades.

Nice wheels btw. They came on my car when I bought it back in 2006. I later found they were sold at pep-boys lol!

Browse around and use the search button when something comes up. Plenty of topics have come up around here and more then likely they have been well covered.

friend of a friend, just so happen i worked with him for abit and landed a better job, butt i work from him on most saturday to make a few bucks and today was a great day, got the mounts in and it runs ten time better then it did before, only issue im not liking is once i hit 4k rpm the gas peddle vidrate real bad,
looks like ill be takeing the timing apart to look at the oil pump balancer and making sure its in the right position, couldnt find the bolt to stick a screw driver in and i thought it was behind the ac compressor and didnt feel like takeing it out plus it was late, i still need to get a lower and upper timing cover for it since its all messed up dew to the harmonick balancer

picks will be up shorty

[wetamup2k3g]

wow, that's a big ass difference between bumper cover and fender color. Most the Galants I see have that problem tho, even mine
http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k525/wetamup2011/cbe69927.jpg
Mine was like that from the factory, so was one of my coworkers' and my brother-in-laws. I don't know paint like that, not sure why it happens or what to do to fix it.

[finald8ta]

dam well atleast im not the only one then

gona have to get anit flicker cap for the fogs

im a month or so it will be getting new suspension and cold air intake and axle back exhaust and ill be done for awhile

[finald8ta]

ewell after doing a search for an alternative solution for my fog lights, i dont like how i have to use the switch every time to use my fogs, then i found a post on here to rewire them with the parking lights butt i dont like the idea not useing my switch at ALL and i rather use it to turn them off incase of heavy rain or deep puddles, butt i have an issue with my fogs flickering and re wiring then to stay on might fix it, since the switch goes therw the ecu..... im gona look into the tomarrow and may still use the original switch to just turn them off when i like butt come on when i switch to my parking lights. its late and i need a beer

3- i didnt get time to check into the foglight switch and fogs come on with parking lights, that will be another day

4- i plan to hit up the junk yard to get a rear disc brake conversion, will the front calipers from a v6 model work with an i4 set up? (v6 is dual pot caliper right?)(edit) nvm i found the link only thing it im still on 15in wheels
