Bought another g?

[Ivory8g]

*shrug* LOL

[carl3g]

Lol I remember when I first joined this site, your car was my obsession. I know your going to hook up this new one right. Good luck.

[Ivory8g]

Lol I remember when I first joined this site, your car was my obsession. I know your going to hook up this new one right. Good luck.

Awww that made me smile.

well only some people know but Ivory got towed and i thought it was stolen at first and the time it took the cops to figure out it was towed and i contacted them they wanted more that the car was worth to get the car back and wouldnt let me pull any parts of :( im still pretty sore about it as can be imagined. part of the reason why i disappeared for so long. so i have bounced around through plenty of cars from supras to 300zx's and i came right back to another 8g :) this one is going to be physically better than ivory but i will always remember her. we have been through too much.

[keith6110]

That's so messed up that the car was towed and you cannot get your parts from it!? No way; I would have this taken to a court room. If it was towed and you were not contacted, I don't see how the towing company would be able to charge you so much that it over values a turbo 8g.

What's the companies name?

... Depressing. Anyway, do show pics of the new ride!

[Ivory8g]

i dont even remember the companies name. i just washed my hands of it. live and learn. i was partially at fault cause the tags were expired cause i was working on it so it would pass emissions and the car wasnt drivable AND i was moving. yeah. never again. amywho not gonna cry over spilled milk. I'll take pics tomorrow haha

[IVORY_G]

What???!!! Noooooooooooooo! She's gone? :( You just ruined my night...
How long ago did this happen?

[2002BlackDragon]

Damn it man! I'm actually excited for you. You have mad skills with a G and I'm very interested to see where you take her. Knowing you... I'd say sexy and bad ass!

[Ivory8g]

Thanks man! That means a lot :)
And you know the plan! Haha shhh

[GWAPS]

DAMN g sorry 2 hear about ur last ride. GD luck with this 1 G.

[Ivory8g]

[Ivory8g]

[8thLS6]

This should be good ..nice pick up

[GWAPS]

So whts ur 1st plan with this 1?

[QnzMostWanted]

not surprised the vrg lip fits so well, considering the usdm bumper is based of teh vrg

[Ivory8g]

This should be good ..nice pick up
thanks sir


So whts ur 1st plan with this 1?
stay tuned! lol no pun intended haha


not surprised the vrg lip fits so well, considering the usdm bumper is based of teh vrg

i always thought the 8ga front bumpers looked vrg-ish in dimensions

[Corey2kG]

Repaint green? Or buff? I'm curious where this is going.

[deeznutz]

Suprized myself at the fitment on the lip when I get home I'm going to see how mine fits the 8ga.

[IVORY_G]

I like the color Forest Green, just not on the G's. Interested to see if you can pull this off with this color. That lip is gonna look good on there, crazy that it fits so well too!

[wetamup2k3g]

Damn, the lip looks good on the 8Ga bumper. Damn if I didn't already have a molded lip on a bumper already...

[deeznutz]

^^^ you do?

[wetamup2k3g]

Not on my car yet, I need paint on it first. I'll PM you, don't wanna spam Ivory's thread.

[ricky_db]

looks like its about to go down (agin) lol

[wetamup2k3g]

^^All sorts of OG's coming back thru!!

[carl3g]

Og's coming from everywhere!

[Ivory8g]

Update for the day: replaced the rear door on the drivers side. looks so much better with that fugly dent gone. anybody need grey paneling or glass from the old door?


Repaint green? Or buff? I'm curious where this is going.
Paint needs a clean up for sure. we'll see.


Suprized myself at the fitment on the lip when I get home I'm going to see how mine fits the 8ga.
lip is almost spot on. its awesome!

HAHAHAHAHA!!

[Corey2kG]

You've already had a white G. You should try the green lol I think as long as its a darker green you'd be good. N they've done black.

[CHICAGO_ONE]

Never been a fan of the Green G's either, but judging from your style / last car, I'm sure this is going in a good direction. Impressed that you already have your hands on a VRG lip , haha.

[Ivory8g]

You've already had a white G. You should try the green lol I think as long as its a darker green you'd be good. N they've done black.
yeah i have several choices as far as what to do with the color. we'll see!

honestly me either but im convinced i can make sherwood "old man" green dope HAHA. Those things are so rare i kept one in my back pocket this whole time :)


Update: Improving the base map i put on the car. Keep in mind i have the v6 tb on and thats it for performance as of right now
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84/hakkeshou/jadastockwithtuneandtb.jpg
^hp @ the crank
146 hp and 196 ft lbs
stock output varies between 145 hp at 5,250 rpm with 161 lb ft of torque. 35 ft lb of torque with a tb swap and tuning.
How in the hell did i pass 100% load? HAHA! 1% boost! :) fluke?
Also pretty impressed that airflow hit 712.5 Hertz!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84/hakkeshou/jadastockwithtuneandtb2.jpg
^Whp
Log 2.
101 whp and 162 ft lbs. not bad for a tb swap and the stock restrictive crap!

[finald8ta]

nice, i really need to sit down and start working with evo scan, i need to tune my car really bad with all the mods i have.

keep up the good work bro

[Ivory8g]

[Galantman03]

That's a weird waste gate....

[Ivory8g]

Is it? How so?

[99galantES]

Moving fast

[wetamup2k3g]

Somebody is not playing games!!

[Ivory8g]

You know what it is!

[Galantman03]

Is it? How so?

I guess I'm used to seeing v bands

[QnzMostWanted]

this man doesnt waste time

[erick14]

ivory was one of a kind galant!

[Ivory8g]

I guess I'm used to seeing v bands
hah yeah thats true. this is just the old school design


this man doesnt waste time
come out swingin!


ivory was one of a kind galant!
thanks! this one will be one of a kind too

[Silvertune]

Old Tial 40 by the looks of it? I run the same gate. 15 years old and still works like new. Yours look way better though!

[unclepaulie]

Ill be following this intently. I hope it ends up matching the sig

[Ivory8g]

Old Tial 40 by the looks of it? I run the same gate. 15 years old and still works like new. Yours look way better though!
yeah its an obx knockoff of the tial 40. I got it from a friend who had it on his eclipse and it worked flawlessly.


Ill be following this intently. I hope it ends up matching the sig

I love your car! I've been stalking your thread haha. I plan on making it look like the sig ^_^

[Corey2kG]

Idk but I'd trade my 4g wheels for those lol -_- lol

[underated]

is that the obx 4g63 manifold with the wastegate flange rerouted?

[Ivory8g]

Idk but I'd trade my 4g wheels for those lol -_- lol
hah! I've always wanted these wheels. I love the design! I'm hard pressed to give em up now that i have my little paws on em ^_^


what turbo manifold is that?

I was waiting for someone to notice haha. Its a custom evo ramhorn t3 manifold. no spacer needed

[Corey2kG]

Lol yeah..... Although the wheels in your sig are similar style n color ;) lol I wanna change them back to silver though. Over the winter maybe lol

[Ivory8g]

haha yeah i know. these wheels are gonna eventually become my winter set though. i think silver will look good. everybody and their mom has black wheels

[Corey2kG]

Lol Mine are bronze ewww black lol

[CHICAGO_ONE]

can't wait to see that finished up

[Ivory8g]

I was debating either go jdm or unique usdm front this go around. I think im going to stick with the usdm front end again on this one. And now be the first to do the vrg lip on the 8ga front bumper ^_^ I hope it turns out like I am envisioning

[OMEGA PHX]

USDM+VRG looks really good, I hadn't noticed that you needed to extend the lip in the middle.

And what happened to no black wheels, didn't like how silver looked?

[Ivory8g]

It does doesnt it?! and yeah the 2003 bumper and the vrg lip had to be convinced with a lot of fiberglass and sanding to be friends. This looks to be a much easier job.
The wheels i was going to go with a dark bronze and i primered the wheels and put a wheel up against the car and was like oh crap i like the black.....great.....so i painted em black for the time being haha

[greddy]

yay for USDM with unique lips, everyone and their mother is going JDM

[4g63lover]

We should form a club. I don't ever see myself steering away from my 8GA USDM front.

[Ivory8g]

yay for USDM with unique lips, everyone and their mother is going JDM
^this!


We should form a club. I don't ever see myself steering away from my 8GA USDM front.
^ this too!

and i finished up by blacking out the heads and removing the amber turn signal reflector
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84/hakkeshou/blackheads.jpg

horrible pic but meh LOL

[keith6110]

You are just moving man. Do you still have 3 meals a day? lol, Looks great!

[Ivory8g]

HAHA!! I do. I'm just powering out as much as i can while i have free time. Shooot if i had all the parts it would be slammed and boosted already LOL

[keith6110]

haha there you go. I remember seeing manifolds and turbo's in some of your recent pics.

[Corey2kG]

Hey can I be in the club? haha still got my USDM bumper lol moving fast dude. NICE!!!

[Ivory8g]

haha there you go. I remember seeing manifolds and turbo's in some of your recent pics.
LOL ^_^ manifolds and turbos and wastegates oh my!


Hey can I be in the club? haha still got my USDM bumper lol moving fast dude. NICE!!!

find a unique lip! :P

[QnzMostWanted]

"My G looks like a bottle of Heineken! LOL"


fuckin trini's

[Ivory8g]

Hahaha! ^_^

[unclepaulie]

I love your car! I've been stalking your thread haha. I plan on making it look like the sig ^_^

haha cheers mate :) g will be sick then. i like the usdm front with vrg lip. depending how the car looks slammed, i reckon a splitter under it would look tops.

[Corey2kG]

Well if thats the case then its a club of one lol cuz the VRG is the only unique lip lol. I mean I have the spoon style me on the east n Adrian on the west so....???? Does this count? haha

[Ivory8g]

haha cheers mate :) g will be sick then. i like the usdm front with vrg lip. depending how the car looks slammed, i reckon a splitter under it would look tops.
you know i had that same thought! a splitter into and undertray of sorts. I think it would look sick AND reduce drag unter the car.


Well if thats the case then its a club of one lol cuz the VRG is the only unique lip lol. I mean I have the spoon style me on the east n Adrian on the west so....???? Does this count? haha

lol no its not the only unique lip at all. i dont know if that counts or not there are a lot of galants over the years and common practice has been the honda lips that have been heat gunned into perfection.

[QnzMostWanted]

in other words, its not unique enough lol

[spdracr]

I have to ask. What Turbo and manifold is that?? Looks like it would clear the starter the way it's angled.

[Corey2kG]

Ah well in that case no one is unique haha just has their own touch lol. We could call it the USDMlip Squad lol. -_-

[Ivory8g]

I have to ask. What Turbo and manifold is that?? Looks like it would clear the starter the way it's angled.

Manifold: obx ram horn manifold. which i swore off obx products since back in the day with Ivory and those weak ass soil packs they made but ive seen this manifold in action and I love it. great material and welds. I think they copied invidia's manifold. as you can probably tell the pipe for the wastegate was cut off and welded on in the other direction and everything clears on a 4g64 3g eclipse.

Turbo: to4b with a compressor wheel and exhaust wheel spec'd to match a precision 6031 but in a smaller housing so faster spool than Ivory had.

[Ivory8g]

[99galantES]

It sure does big difference

[IVORY_G]

[Ivory8g]

It sure does big difference
I cant wait to get some coils. Its photoshopped. I was curious what it would look like.....when i dropped it i was like "O_o oh snap!"


Bust the teeth outta that grille with one good karate chop too! LOL! Then plasti-dip it black FTW!

HIYAH!!! you mean something like this?
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84/hakkeshou/moarlowwgrille.jpg

[IVORY_G]

^Exacta-Mundo! LOL! Looks so much better that way ;)
Cali has some new style sideskirts fitted for USDM on sale for $160, you should scoop it up! His FG repro is super strong.

[Ivory8g]

I agree! It looks much better that way. I will eventually get skirts and all of that dont worry ^_^

[Ivory8g]

ooooh i think i hit the color in my sig pretty spot on!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84/hakkeshou/photo1-2.jpg

[99galantES]

Looks nice you plan on changing it?

[Ivory8g]

possibly! still up in the air

[greddy]

[djhah]

your new g is the same color as mine, i hated it at first but now im starting to get used to it. great progress so far. ill be following it to see were you go with it.

[Ivory8g]

thanks man! yep i saw that :) At first I had the same reaction. I was like eww green?! but it started growing on me fast. if it didnt have scratches and sap and crap all over it i would have kept it. does yours have grey interior? mine is tan

[djhah]

tan interior i was thinking about changing it in the future though. just not sure what to yet

[Corey2kG]

Full C/F!!! Sick!!! lol

[Ivory8g]

tan interior i was thinking about changing it in the future though. just not sure what to yet

peace out sherwood "old man" green

Ivory was the beautiful one and this one will be the gritty street fighting sister. As of now she has earned the nickname "Tumbler" no not the blogging service but this.....

http://www.wordofthenerdonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Batmobile___The_Tumbler_Street_by_artist_tortured-1024x776.jpg

Hello dopeness!
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84/hakkeshou/image_3.jpg

Nope its not plastidip. pictures dont do justice. flat black with texture. the car looks like a stealth fighter and definitely matches the direction i am going to go with this car.

[Galantman03]

Dirty whore looks hot! (don't tell my mom!) Lmao
And its only gonna be dope with some matte wheels yo! Or glossy black.... Hmm with a polish

[Ivory8g]

HAHAHA! I wont tell her :)

Just wait until I slam it and stance it! When it stops raining/snowing out it will take some better pictures. The gloss wheels actually contrast the matte quite well.....Im also considering matte texturing the wheels too

[Corey2kG]

Nice!! Now about that vinyl????

[Ivory8g]

the matte will look sick with the carbon but the texture wont play nice with the vinyl so thats out. haha

[Corey2kG]

SIGH..... lol. Hmmm Matte white n white vinyl?? I got some choices to make myself lol enough with the teaser pic lol

[Ivory8g]

SIGH..... lol. Hmmm Matte white n white vinyl?? I got some choices to make myself lol enough with the teaser pic lol


When it stops raining/snowing out it will take some better pictures.
Lol somebody hasnt read the thread.....its staying black. HAHA and that sounds more like a project YOU should do.

[Corey2kG]

I know thats what I'm saying lol for me. Saves from changing my title by keeping it white lol n oh I just read the pic a tures. I like dos lol

[mrg7243]

it really is. the car changes in lighting too. it looks black in some light but can be a dark grey in some light too.

you can slightly see the texture of the car here. the car has the feel of 220 grit sand paper all over. the rain is kind of hampering seeing that.

I cannot WAIT to drop this car and put some wheels on it. The car already has presence.

My mini galant sig is still what i want for this car. I'm officially going jdm conversion this time. I did usdm once so jdm this time, with this paintjob it will easily set itself apart and be unique from all the others.

YUP mother effin bedliner AND I rattle canned it like a BOSS! Took some balls of steel to scuff up my car and go out on a limb. I'm glad it came out the way it did. Now I feel like I have the base and feel I need to get started

[Ivory8g]

still think you shoulda done the green

original thought was putting a satin green over the top but i love that raw matte black way too much. I know you dont care for black :P

[Corey2kG]

Get those fogs n 4300k hids! WIN!!!!

[mrg7243]

Thanks Matt! you know i normally dont like the black on black either so i decided to do a little twist!


I feel black on black is uncreative doesnt take much to pull it off.

Though some crazy colored wheels would be off the chain. Like maybe a Gt3rs blue.

[Ivory8g]

definitely 4300k hid fogs

exactly. im usually like oh there goes another murdered out car. i was thinking a crazy red for the wheels or a deep blue too.

I had a feeling it was truck bed liner I did the inside of my trunk with it shit has a nice texture and durable too. I was hoping you we're going to get creative with the green thou but still looks sweet.

[drm3613]

Would have never guessed it was bedliner... What gave you that idea Ivory?

[xd_01]

NICE!! love the textured look

I was going to get creative with the green but meh anyhow I took it, it wasnt what i wanted after a while. I wanted dark and gritty. All the shades of green are off and blah blah. Changed my mind haha.


Would have never guessed it was bedliner... What gave you that idea Ivory?
Two of my friends and I shootin the ish and how I originally really wanted a black galant to be the opposite of Ivory in color. Next think we came up with spraying the G with bedliner LMAO then I said yeah lets do it!


NICE!! love the textured look

Thanks sir!

Not necessarily that style of wheel but that color would be sick and different.

Lol! Idk about Rota torques, but that color and some wheels that are like 18x9 +25 and its a wrap son! LOL!

[Ivory8g]

Lol rota torque's were the wheels I had on ivory and are now on bj's car. I like how that design fits the body lines so I'll probably do that again. I don't care for most lipped wheels. But yeah definitely going 18x9 - 9.5 and +5 - +20

Oh ok, I was thinking of some 6-spoke wheels in my head when you said that, lol. You're right those wheels were legit on the G, now "Hurry up and Buy!!!" Lol!

[Ivory8g]

split 5 spoke ftw! i'll probably let winter pass first. it will kill me to have them and not put them on cause of all the snow out.

[IVORY_G]

Unless you came up on an offer you couldnt refuse lol! You should buy my OZ Ultraleggera wheels for your daily beaters in place of your 3G wheels. They are matte black 18"x8" and weigh only 18lbs each...

those are too nice to be winter beaters!!!!

Nah, they're perfect bcz they dont have a super aggressive offset and lightweight so you save on gas ;)
Plus I'll give you a sweet deal lol

Forgot to post a photo of the tails I tinted. Just one coat of nightshades. Don't want it super dark. Just enough to take the super bright red out.
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84/hakkeshou/null-2.jpg
Also got center caps for the wheels and hit em with the rustoleum. Also sanded down the headlights so they are nice and clear again.

[Ivory8g]

Go for BC's, they're pretty dope. I love mine.

[Galantman03]

I don't think his wife would approve lol

[Ivory8g]

Meh I don't want to deal with refunding money and all that bs. By the time The money shows back up and I order something else it will be the 26th. I might as well just chill out and wait.

[Ivory8g]

Muahaha!
Pulled the trigger on one. Shipping from japan and should be here around the same time as the coils. I'll have gaps since I dont have jdm heads for now but MEH! LOL.

I thought Matt was buying that bumper.

[Galantman03]

DA FAWK! wheres the for sale thread?!


I thought Matt was buying that bumper.
That's why, but if its not sold by the end of Dec, then i will. I just got tired of bumping a thread when nobody was interested. And if you wasnt sneaky, lol you could post up wtb

[Ivory8g]

Post up that I want one? Psh I've never done that haha. I got this one for a decent price though.

[G-spot]

ah good for you getting another bumper. now sell me your vr-g lip please.....

[Ivory8g]

Who says I don't want to be able to switch looks? 😜

[Ivory8g]

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84/hakkeshou/photo-2.jpg

83.4 miles and still on full! cant wait to uncork the motor some more on my tune

[Blue8g]

Mine used to do that. Then it'd drop from 1/2 to 1/4 in like 14.3 miles.

[Ivory8g]

Yeah half to 1/4 goes fast! But I used to be at 3/4 rank in 100 miles so this is a noted improvement for this car

[E_Emerson88]

i thought mine was the only one that did that! lol

[Ivory8g]

Haha nope! Pretty sure the markings on the gas gauge is off. :p I swear they all do that

[[DC_eightG_00]]

i hate that lol

[Ivory8g]

seriously its super annoying. I swear the markings on the fuel gauge are wrong

[oakrdrs187]

Mine used to do that. Then it'd drop from 1/2 to 1/4 in like 14.3 miles.

Haha This!

From F to 1/4 I could easily rack up almost 100 miles even driving like a mad man, and think "Wow this is gonna be a could 30+mpg tank!"

By the time I was at empty, I calculated a crappy 22-ish mpg

[wetamup2k3g]

Same here, first quarter takes nearly 100 miles to burn, the rest of the tank is gone in like 150 miles. My old 4-cyl was better, it took 120 miles to burn the first quarter. If I slow my fast ass down I'll see better mileage.

[Ivory8g]

Damn guys I used to average 24 when it was stock. 27 with the v6 tb swap and tune. Even now with the crap gas for winter before the intake I still hit 24.4

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84/hakkeshou/IMG_3987.jpg
30 lbs just in sound deadening.........

[Blue8g]

I never got better than 23 mpg in my 8g, and I've got a really light foot.

[spdracr]

I get around 24 in my daily and that's mostly city and barely any highway.

[4g63lover]

I used to average 28 mpg when it was NA. I always ran 93 in it.

[Ivory8g]

not to mention im still running the lowest grade octane this whole time.
