i hope you guys enjoy this sort of stuff

[JesterX]

Very nice! Looks like a good project

[G-spot]

You should get an 02-03 usdm bumper. Oh how I always wanted to see a Legnum with that front end...

[qcustoms]

not sure what front im going for yet,maby Evo or maby dolphin,not sure yet..

[smash410]

looks really good so far

[G-code88]

ship me the previous one for free!! ill pay for shipping lol

[qcustoms]

ship what buddy?? lol

[beam514]

may be looking for a USDM Facelift Grille


There is no USDM facelift grill. The 99-01 USDM Galants had a removable grill that was similar in shape to the pre-facelift VR-4 grill, but had "granny fins" and was a lot more shallow. The 02-03 USDM Galants had two grills on either side of the "nose" of the bumper. Basically you can't have these grills without the center piece of the bumper.

Anyway, that's a nice tan leather interior!! Can't believe you're getting rid of it lol

[oakrdrs187]

I need your stock headlights, while were at it lets trade front ends....

[G-code88]

ship what buddy?? lol

I was talking about your new style bumper since you said you were going for a new look. Hey while your at it ill take those headlights off you you to. We can trade i have projectors im looking to get rid of lol

[E_Emerson88]

shipping isnt gonna be cheap, i donno if you guys understand that lol

[IVORY_G]

Looks nice. I like those tail lights much better than the other ones of I've seen before. That is a nice interior also, I would keep it. Its funny to see people wanting our USDM parts when we will hunt down any JDM or World spec parts that we can, Lol!


shipping isnt gonna be cheap, i donno if you guys understand that lol

He's right, shipping will cost you a kidney and your liver! Forget an arm and a leg! Lol!

[oakrdrs187]

He's right, shipping will cost you a kidney and your liver! Forget an arm and a leg! Lol!

Hell it's gonna cost your left nad and half of the right. Kidneys and Livers can be transplanted, arms and legs can be replaced via prosthesis. Nuts can't!! LOL

[qcustoms]

pm me and we can talk

[G-code88]

lol you guys are crazy

[qcustoms]

ok so today i fitted a front bar,fibreglass guards and played with wich grille i am gonna go with IF i choose to go with that bumper, the guards i made myself and widened with Evo 6 style flaring,wil llower car on ground tomorrow and take some pics as i want to see how it sits

all comments and suggestions welcome...

[Rach3T8G]

I think you should put the other fender back on...it flowed a lot better

[keith6110]

Yea, I'm not too crazy about the fenders. But from the front bumper design, it looks like you want a pretty aggressive look.

[Isaurio]

x2. i like the OEM fenders better with the fander flares.

[qcustoms]

ill know tonight what the fender looks like with the wheel under it,but yes agression is what im after with it,(wife wants me to replicate my blue wagon) within reason

[greddy]

HOLY SHIT, is that a VOGUE GRILL!!!!! Me wants me wants, can you make another one?

[Galantman03]

haha^ trigg has one, I just about got it

[qcustoms]

[qcustoms]

maby it needs a bonnet on it too?

but im not going with the wide guards tho.. ill leave them for my ute project

[99galantES]

I like the dolphin bumper better

[smash410]

starting to come together nice

[jimmy_o2]

Loving the hood maybe u should try opening the center part

[IVORY_G]

I vote for the Vogue grille and Dolphin bumper. Looks 10 times better than the other bumper IMO. And the New Style grille doesnt look as good as that Vogue grille does with the Dolphin bumper. Also I agree with jimmy_02, cut a vent open in the center of the hood.

[wetamup2k3g]

What IVORY_G said. Looking good over there!

[zyro]

My original intention was the new style grill, dolphin and ebay projectors combo. But isnt there a really big gap for the projectors? looking forward to your bumper/cibbie shrouds landing on my doorstep! =D

[qcustoms]

[ghosterbuck]

[Corey2kG]

I would say if you wanna go USDM front the 02-03 bumper with a type r or mugen lip. Hmm??? lol nice work for sure bro.

[qcustoms]

[qcustoms]

[zyro]

[beam514]

Vogue grill is awesome, and I also quite like what you're doing with the hood/bonnet.

EDIT: gasp* totally missed the widebody fenders. Can't wait.

[IVORY_G]

WOT? they do? how come i can't find em jdm spec versions on ebay? Do you happen to know which seller has them jdm specced ones?

Maybe they dont make them anymore but I remember when they first came out that they did. Check with one of our vendors, I think they might sell the ebay projector heads...

Well got the call lastnite that rear quarter all done so now i can pick her up and start assrmbling her. Lots to do to her yet. But will be good to complete her

[oakrdrs187]

What did you do with your stock heads?

[qcustoms]

so i have her back now, new rear quarter is on and is mint.
i fitted my Template FMIC to it today and welded on the Mounting Tabs.
also fitted the Trans Cooler
Triple Air Horns(but havent bolted them up just yet
and worked with the grille, i made a Facelift Style Grille in FG and now im going to extend it on the ends to close up the gap between the USDM lights and the grille.

whilst i do all this cosmetic changing the car goes to the painters now to get tidyd up.

for now im going t okeep it Factory whlst i wait for my goodies from Cali and then decide what kit to go for.

also looked at where im going to put the FPR ,but as im doing custom piping i dont know just yet where the Air intake is going to be so i may have to wait for now

ok man will do,most of the time we leave them off tbh,but with a 600x300x100 like i usually fit we have to cut the crash bar on the inside..

[qcustoms]

well after a lot of effort i am finally at this stage..

[qcustoms]

So today i did alot of the fidly bits and pieces(time consuming)

i removed the tow bar,the Fujitsubo Legalis R evolution 3" System and replaced it with a RS*R 2.5" System running into a Ralliart Rear Muffler.
as i do not want any rumble or drone from this car. so now i should get good flow,quieter sounds,and a descent sound from the RalliArt muffler.

i also fitted the Gas Struts for the bonnet
Finished the headlight fitment (a bit of plastic welding) and welding of some steel bits as i wanted a near factory fitment style.
I worked out how much and how im building the Centre Grille up and this is now at the welder to be built up to meet the headlights .

the grille fits FACTORY wich im excited about BUT i had to shave off 4 mounting lugs leaving only 3 to bolt on wich seems to have held pretty well.

Removed the Radiator and built up the Alloy Radiator ready for fitment.
Removed the factory Plumbing and bent up the wire templates for the new FMIC and intake 2.5" Steel System(no flex from factory piping now YAY)
Fitted the Aftermarket Trans Cooler
Fitted the Horns
Fitted the Greddy Controller up by the mirror and tucked al lthe wiring away nicely.
Notched out the Impact beam to hug the FMIC so im capping it and wil weld it up this week.
we will be plastic welding the bumper up round the base of the headlights to close the gap adn make it look factory.allotta hard work comming up with that..

i also Cut the guards out to allow the wide wheels to not rub on the flares

but heres some piccys to keep you al excited as much as i am

[unclepaulie]

please tell me, that the rear turbo isnt joining the front at 90degrees?


you want them to merge at a Y, not a T. you will loose power due to turbulance and pressure.


edit: are those press bends? q, i love your fibreglass work and but leave the pipework to someone else

[qcustoms]

yea i was lookig at that just before i locked up lastnight,i might change the setup .

no theyr actually mandrel bends done at a actual muffler shop. ugly ey

[qcustoms]

well after 6 hours and alotta swearing and $300 wasted in piping and bending ,i gave up... i will rather pay someone who knows how to do it correctly,i made an absolute mess of it.. Paul i took your advice lol...

[unclepaulie]

hahah! good idea mate

[oakrdrs187]

Actually it looked like pretty good progress, what kind of welder are you on?

[qcustoms]

im a certified welder dude so welding is my daily.. but my new welder has not arived and im using gasless to tack it up,BUT pipework shrinks and changes shape after every tack s oit always moves,cheaper to get someone else to do it

[qcustoms]

ok so good news now is that i now have 99% of what i need to complete her car,the new Retro sculped USDM Facelift Bumper and grille arrived along with the rear bumper,k6 mirrors,the mudflaps i make for the facelift models etc,painting looks minter.. so yesterday i prepped the mudflaps with rubberiser in the wheel facing sides..

i changed the ugly green led lighting oround the interior to blue leds and pretty much today is ASSEMBLY day YAY... then off to the Muffler shop to fit the RalliArt Exhaust and the Resignator

[Stewi]

Tubing can be a PITA to do if you dont do it a lot. Its also more difficult in your case since that engine bay is very busy, not much room to work and everything needs to fit just right, plus you gotta join the charge pipes and transition them correctly for flow. I think its a good idea to let a pro do that.

[zyro]

DAAAAMMMNNNN U Q!!! You are making me regret getting the CIBIES from you! lol!

[qcustoms]

lol Darren Trust me alot of work went into making these lights fit....lol

[qcustoms]

Question for the HID Gurus please....
the cuttoff is as we know on the wrong end of the car for us here,does anyone know if its possible and how to swap them around maby or change it ??
before i try a failing attempt id love some help on if and how please

[oakrdrs187]

^^^ It is possible, you need to open the projector, usually the aftermarkets have 4 Phillips screws holding the lens to the base of it where the bulb goes (It was this way on my friends eBay projectors for his Ranger Pickup). As you pull it apart you'll notice a piece of sheet metal with a familiar cutoff pattern this is the light shield. One thing you can try is flipping the shield, or trim it on a bench grinder to the pattern desired.

See if you can get away with simply flipping it, if not fabricate one to imitate the original but with a reversed pattern.

Remember light travels in straight lines.

[OMEGA PHX]

There was one dude with those heads that took out the cutoff shield and made one completely flat out of a aluminum sheet. IIRC about the mounting points,I think there were 2 screws on each side of the cutoff shield, you can flip them, you'll know when you take the projector apart found the pics but they are down.

[qcustoms]

thank you guys,ill keep you posted.... hope its as easy as what your saying it is lol....

[qcustoms]

and so i pulled the lights apart(what a mission) and changed the beam cuttoff pattern around so its RHD now,YAY..

[oakrdrs187]

^^ Wow, too bad you have to open them up. Was it as easy as flipping the light shield or did you have to do more?

[badmitsu]

u did a damn good job on the car man, looks really good!

[qcustoms]

i think i faild,it faild wof,still wrong way,i think its not level so its making it vey upward over a long distance.. might flick the usdm and go custom built headlights sibbie style

[oakrdrs187]

All it needs is to be flipped

[qcustoms]
