Gojirars 99' 8G Build

[gojirars]

I bought this car for about $1400 at 156,000 miles after my first was totaled. The car mechanically was in poor condition but the body was virtually rust free and clean. I cleaned it up and maintained it until I stumbled onto this forum. Since then I have doing some small mods to it and decided it was time for a build thread. There will be a lot of pics so it will take a bit.

I met with M-Rod and Silvertune and ended up installing the 6g72 TB and a bit later installed remote start and alarm

Once spring came around I got a few more things. AEM oil cap and fitted my old/new wheels on. That wheel gap though....

And once again progress slowed. However I did have plans much larger than I was planning and saved. My chance came and I nailed a set of Tein SS coilovers for $500 in August

The stock springs shot out on the first set and scared the shit out of me. Second one fared better.

After the install a few weeks later I picked up some 3G seats from M-Rod. Didn't take pics of them but after Factory MOD 2013 I started to tackle the interior. Lots of 3G interior parts and much thanks to Silvertune. Also received my JDM chrome handles in the mail as well as ordering/receiving upholstery material.

There won't be any full interior shots for a bit as it's rather messy with all the parts I am gathering haha. In between receiving and installing my good friend SpecialK bought a nice 8G DE and I hooked him up nice and proper with a 6G72 TB.

Since then I have been pretty good for the year and I cannot wait for 2014. A lot of things will be happening and by MOD it shall be a very different car. Any questions let me know and thanks for reading. How about a sneak peek at next year?

Nice, I didn't know you had that much done

[4g63lover]

Your build reminds me of BabyG's early stages.

The 16's is so nostalgic for me. Next time you need tires. 225/50/16 looks awesome on the 8G.

I am looking forward to following this build. I hope to see you at MOD next year. Hopefully BabyG is done by then.

[M-Rod]

I wanna know what's in that bubble wrap!

[Silvertune]

I'm going to have to convince you to do some prothane stuff. FLCA bushings and sway bar bushings/endlinks front and back at the very least. Stiff springs only get you so far when the alignment wonders all over as a result.

Among other things... It should be a fun year.

[Galantman03]

dang i need to swing out to minn next summer....

[wetamup2k3g]

MN guys do it big! Loving the progress, in to see what's inside the bubble wrap!

[kylecanthurdle]

Kcco!

I still feel like I haven't done a ton haha, once interior is finished it's on to engine work.

I love the 16's and the tire size i'll keep in mind. The ones I have now need to be replaced. I've read your whole build thread and it has given me a few ideas. Also hoping to see you and BabyG at MOD!

Matt you'll be the first to know! I'm gonna need help!

It shall be a fun year, going to for sure do as you mention seeing as I will definitely need an alignment and some newer suspension components all around. Also may need a hand with it.

Gotta have a mini meet or something. Boost for Boobies?


MN guys do it big! Loving the progress, in to see what's inside the bubble wrap!

Thanks! MN's where its at! More to come next week!


Kcco!

Really good tasting, we don't have this in MN so I bought a case at Binny's in Chicago.

[8thLS6]

Always liked those wheels on your car, nice choice in mods too

[doctor]

Great job!:) Good luck with new mods:023:

[Samman]

Well done. Keep it going

Thank you!



In terms of updates not a whole lot going on due to the cold (-50's windchill for MN) but I did get a few more small bits in the mail to add to a growing pile of parts. I am going to be moving out of my parents house and into a house of my own come next Saturday and am rather excited to actually have a place to work on the car. Doors and interior mostly finished, carpet ordered and trying to locate a diamante for parts....

[Black8GV6]

What diamante parts do you need? The rear interior dome lights?

[gojirars]

What diamante parts do you need? The rear interior dome lights?

Well I have those....what I need is the full black dash+speedo/center console as well as misc....cleazy has a headstart on me with it but basically the same idea. Most of them have been tan in my local area so it's just a waiting game. The stock dash is okay and yeah I can paint it black but I need something a bit more refreshing for the interior...so there's a big hint on what's to come. Keeping hush hush on the rest of my plans haha.

[wetamup2k3g]

The VR-X Diamante is hard to come by, but with some patience one should pop up. That 6G74 has a couple more horses than the ES/LS 6G74 IIRC. Something to keep in mind...


Edit: NVM, you have the 4G64. LOL on my part.

wetamup2k3g, thanks for the info and heads up. And yeah if I had a v6 I'd most likely go that route and it would make the idea of purchasing a whole parts car more justifiable but since i am not it'll be more difficult. However the 4g64 shall see a few things coming together near the end of next month.

[doctor]

I need is the full black dash+speedo/center console
What about EUDM black interior? It will be One of a kind EUDM Galant is US:)

Pm'd ;)

[dimushor]

none of them would fit the USDM galant. the front sits would be bolt on and the speedo does not fit... i have all of this at home and i cannot use it.

[gojirars]

Dimushor on the contrary some of the parts do fit. And with the speedo the dimensions are similar to a diamantes. Anything can fit if there is time, patience, and money.

[doctor]

Of course, EUDM swap will require conversions and modifications, but

Anything can fit if there is time, patience, and money.
This is the right approach:thumb_rsvd:

Found my good friend SpecialK's 8g earlier today.

Nothing too much has been happening. Replaced the auto trans for another. Fixed a few things that needed to be addressed and installed a 3" 2G Eclipse cat-back exhaust with a majority of the work being done by Silvertune. This exhaust came from ebay and was originally perceived as being able to fit no problem and add an extension as many have claimed. This however was not the case. Due to this being an ebay product the quality has most likely suffered as companies found cheaper ways to produce these exhaust systems as time went. There was a lot of cutting involved and several pipes had to be welded not including figuring out how to remove the studs from the cat. As you can see in the pictures below it was not too bad but almost 5 hours went into this little project and the results were all the more satisfying. Going from a straight pipe to this is far far better then I expected. 10/10 would suggest that anyone do this.

I thought it was the 3g that was a bolt on with extension. Looks good either way.

I used the same catback for babyg. Though I obviously only used it for pipe because 90% of it had to be modified to be able to run it under the axle, etc

[2002BlackDragon]

Good to know. I was unaware that the 2g could be used.

Glad to see the exhaust is on, Rezal. Can't wait to hear it on the way to the cookout next week.

My parts list has shown this for a couple years now ;)

[gojirars]

Yesterday me and my buddy SpecialK hit up a local Upull and ended up pulling hubs and calipers for a disc swap. While there we found everything we were looking for but I noticed before leaving that there was a 9g that had fairly decent calipers and it looked similar to a 3g's so we decided to see if they would fit. After comparing and considering we mocked them up to a wrecked 3g and everything seemed to line up. So I decided that I would get them and see how well they did or did not fit. On the way back we also hit up an Autozone store and my friend got rotors and pads and in term of the other parts, I already had 4 backing plates from 3gs and rotors as well as pads. My friend ended up running the 3g eclipse calipers and the total time for his swap was around 3 hours since we had little to no idea what we were doing. Mine took half that time. The only things that needed to be modified was the backing plates and the 9g brake line end. Backing plate e-brake holes were drilled with a 21/64 drill bit to fit the stock Galant e-brake lines and then ground down until the hole for the clip and the top of it measured about 1/8". Modding the backing plates was straight forward after assessing what was need and can be done by yourself or with help. With the 9g part I used an angle grinder and lots of patience to grind it to fit a 17mm 6 point socket so that it will seat well and be able to properly be held in by the clip. If you ever do this note that you need to be extremely careful as to not grind the very top or go at an angle. Also heat will be important to watch so allow an appropriate time to let it cool or use something to cool it. This applies towards the backing plate parts too. Otherwise there isn't much to worry about aside from those. All in all it was a successful night and I am rather pleased with the outcome.

Anyone else actually finish this dash swap??? I only need another day and it should be in 100% I will add more details tomorrow night depending if I get the time to. Basically Diamante dash and center console along with the center console frame. Airbag on passenger side has been modified to work and no srs codes involved. Doors are near to flush to the dash but the diamante is a tad taller (like 1 1/2"). Center console lines up almost too perfect, and the dash lower mounts can be bolted in with minor adjustment. Stay tuned haha.

[8thLS6]

Nice! , look fwd to finished results.

[wetamup2k3g]

That is incredibly awesome!

[Black8GV6]

Great job!

[gojirars]

Nice! , look fwd to finished results.
Thank you!

That is incredibly awesome!
It will be awesome when finished! I didn't know that the Diamante had SIX cup holders! (Not that I need them haha)

Great job!
Thanks!

Now another not so far in progress pic. Just let everything sit in loosely but dash is mounted and door can close finally. SO MUCH TRIMMING IS INVOLVED. My opinion is to reuse a Galant dash. The only reason why I even did this is because I wanted to try being a little different and to see if this was possible. I saw someone else mention trying it but never any major progress nor any finished ones. Just pics of the dash sitting. Basically what I did was make custom brackets so it would mount properly and start measuring and trimming as I went. The side covers are going to be custom since the sides are trimmed. It was either the dash or door cards and for me the doors would not have looked very good once cut. The dash was shortened about and 1" in front and 1 1/2" on the sides. The center console brackets are close to Galant ones but need to be drilled out a bit and extended in the rear one. the center console frame is modified substantially and is not entirely necessary since the way I bolted the dash and console in kept everything pretty rigid. Waiting on my gauges to be finished so the stock Galant one will do till then. Next up is finding a way to get the glove box mounted nicely as well as the driver side panel. A lot of work and mistakes brought me to here but so far I am a lot more pleased after seeing where I started. Now I am nowhere near done but that's a little update on how this is going. And again....this is not an easy thing to do.

Edit* Anyone on here have a world spec dash for sale? Hehe...

[gojirars]

I am done. For now. So much time went into this and I have learned enough. Still waiting on Diamante dash gauge cluster and an arduino unit to display OBD info and clock for the Diamante's clock unit. Also in process is a full functioning HVAC using the Diamante's climate control unit. Dash is in, center console is in, cup holders all work as well as cigarette sockets, black carpet is in, Diamante speakers wired in, and a bunch of other things. Last thing that is needed is the glove box, the one I had was pretty damaged so I removed it and will grab another at the yard. I'm tired as hell and it's going to stay as is until next month. Any questions just ask away, i'll try my best to answer them. This is not for people who want an easy project or don't have any patience. Looks great, smells better, and doesn't make me hate my interior anymore. Anybody know if Cleazy123 ever finished his? Just curious.

[boosting90]

nice bro. looks amazing. i want to switch mine as well to black. but i was just gonna buy the stock half replacement on black and paint lol... is so much cleaner and nicer dash. looks great

[njjfudge]

My dash is cracked really bad this is a option i might need to look into.

[boosting90]

Hey boss where did u get black carpet?

[8thLS6]

Are the pics of the dash not showing for anyone else? All the other pics of the exhaust and prior things in earlier posts show for me. I don't guess it's cause I'm on my phone looking? Cause I remember the first post of the dash worked for me when it was originally posted.

[boosting90]

For me at times it those that. But if u click it, it will take you to his photobucket where u can see picture. Hope it helps

[8thLS6]

Still no luck on my phone, I press and hold then tap view image and a white page shows claiming an error. Like I said it's just pics of the dash that aren't showing. I guess I'll try again on the next update lol. Thanks for the suggestion

[2002BlackDragon]

They don't work on my phone either. Your not alone. Lol

[8thLS6]

Thats good to know I guess lol, it's just too bad after all the work he did. I' ll try the laptop next time I'm on. Not giving up easily lol

[Galantman03]

stop bumping peoples thread because the pics don't work. You 3 are usually the only 3 that the pics don't work. get your phone check out, or use a computer lol.
PM him to say yo, your pics don't work

[8thLS6]

Usually? Ummm to my knowledge this is the only time I ever posted about pics not working, and after my initial posts it was in response to the others above me

-edit- to save a post and not bump...

I just put in google my user name plus "pics not" and after looking though 6 pages of results only this thread showed. But anyway back on topic...
----edit again---VV
I get it, point has been made I will pm him if there are further problems, which is why I said back on topic. The additional responses are contradicting the complaint because the thread is still getting bumped. So lets end it and give him his thread back

This! I thought my fuse was short.

[gojirars]

Been a while since an update. In terms of the dash it is going through another change. Plastic welding Galant dash ends on and redoing the bar behind. Picking up stuff as the year goes on. Most recently a JDM PFL Bumper, manual trans, and turbo goodies. Car is parked for the rest of the year though unfortunately. Redoing bushings and most of the suspension, as well as getting the other stuff installed. Too busy working and no time for projects so I think hoarding parts is the most I can do this year haha.

End of Year 2015 Update

Small update in terms of acquiring parts to kick off the new year! Most of the exterior parts have been found after a couple years of searching with little to no luck. Ditched the Evo 8 turbo for something a little bigger (and soon something bigger than that!) as well as getting a bunch of other things for the DOHC head. Waiting mostly at this point for things to arrive from overseas. Might do another update in a couple months as I won't be able to do too much in buying parts or installing them. Gotta save that money for a trip in July! (In which parts shall be had!) Also apologies for the picture problems in previous posts, I hopefully have rectified this issue on newer posts and will eventually fix the old ones. Happy New Years to you guys!


Received manifold and wastegate from Jigz! (4g63lover) Thanks again man!

Looks like your 2016 will be quite eventful. Nice collection of parts.

[gtx]

That front end is going to be epic! I'm curious to see what rotors you will be using, it would be nice to have an inexpensive, 4 pot aluminum caliper option for the community.

4G rotors may work with those calipers.
