Welcome to TGC! Very clean 8G you have. Great choice on wheels, too!

Anything else in mind for the car?

[Bobby-Booshay]

Not to sure yet, wheels are a must then most likely a CAI, bigger exhaust maybe just maybe a straight pipe but not sure how it would sound on a 2.0l and she definately needs lowering a bit. any suggestions?

A good quality CAI is worth the money. Not too sure for your engine specifically, since the 8G in the US only had the 2.4L SOHC (4G64) as its four cylinder engine choice.

Look into what AEM has for your engine, I have the AEM CAI for my 8G, very good quality.

As for lowering the car, if it's a daily driver, a good set of lowering springs would be your best bet. Tien, Megan, Eibach and H&R makes good quality lowering springs for the 8G.

[Bobby-Booshay]

Thanks my friend i'll take that all into consideration as well

Welcome to TGC!

[Jhun35]

car looks good. For a long time I wasn't a big fan of the way galants look, but the more modified ones I see the more I appreciate the looks of them. People do some good things with these cars.

[Sarah]

Welcome to you and your pretty car!

Welcome fellow Galant Sport owner :-)

[wetamup2k3g]

Glad I could help! She's clean clean clean, more pictures are needed!

[Bobby-Booshay]

Thank you very much everyone for your kind messages, I do like to keep it as clean as possible, luckily the guy I bought it from was a Mitsubishi mechanic and took amazing care of it so I got very lucky, just wish it had a V6 haha

Petrol is Stupidly expensive my friend it costs around $117 to fill my tank and it only lasts around 250 miles with a heavy foot maybe 320 miles if. Drive economically

[Bobby-Booshay]

first upgrade to my galant, new 17 inch BK Racing BK299's would have gone for 18's but for some reason my galant is a 4 stud pattern instead of a 5 so it's hard to get 4 stud 18s in england without costing a fortune and also a sparco shortr shift knob

Damn it looks so nice! Quick shot of the engine bay? Those rims look clean on your car.

[Kingjel12]

You choosing a Mitsu 8G when your buddies got something else says a lot!!...SWAG..simply put. Welcome to TGC..this forum will make you love your G even more and help you take care of that already mint eye-catcher!

[Bobby-Booshay]

thanks guys, the rims were new on that day so they are still real clean, i can get some more pics this weekend as it's going to a jap meet so it will be all clean. i can take some of the engine bay but it's only a
2.0lt 16v so won't be anything special. i have 40mm lowering springs due next month and an injen air filter so it's getting there :)

let me know what u guys think

[specter6633]

nice little engine bro looks like our 2.4. everything is sooo clean. welcome to tgc and yea 4 lug rims is weird on a galant lol.

[specter6633]

is that a pop-up antena on ur trunk side?

[Bobby-Booshay]

yes it is a pop up antena mate, and yeah 4 lug was a surprise to me but apparently it's known as a Galant type V over here

[The Vee]

4 lugs, standard I'm afraid on all UK galants including the V6 models. The VR4s had 5 lug, but of course every VR4 in the UK is an import (even the 200 Ralliart ones) USDM Galants have the 5 lug set up. I have just fitted a set of hubs from the US to mine and now able to run EVO wheels. Always seemed a big car for only 4 lugs, but to be fair, never had any issues with it even when tracked.

[Bobby-Booshay]

i didn't realise, coz in the same road as me is a galant v6 auto with a 5 lug set up but they may have done a conversion i guess

[Specter]

Bobby! This used to be my grandads car but he passed away in 2004, could you or anyone who knows anything about this car reply to my message please. Cheers guys!
