Prophet is BACK!

[Prophet]

Been awile but I finally decided to rebuild another 8G. Those that might remember me this was my old Galant...

Until this happened...

*missingpicture*
And I had to say good bye...

*missingpicture*

Well I am bored again and at this point of time in my life I am living comfortable... my buddy was going to sell donate his car but instead I told him I would buy it off of him for $500 and now I got this 8G...

*missingpicture*

So new car means new build thread and plenty of time wasting around these parts!

Edit: 11/11/15

So kind of a sad story... it took the passing away of a great member hear VegasMatt in order for me to remember about TGC. Looks like I got some threads to update so I guess I will start on this one first. I will update the OP with the missing pictures when I got time to look over my back ups. In the mean time...

I bought another Galant. Still got the POS silver one that I posted in the OP but it either has a blown head gasket or something is wrong with the cooling system. When I purchased the car for only $500 I knew it had a overheating problem so no surprise there. Started to drain the coolant and it is brown as fuck. Oil is not mayo so still figuring it out.

While I was figuring things out another OG member that I still keep in touch with... in fact I was the best man at his wedding was Nick... also known around here as either 300dragonle or Messiah. He buys a new car and they where only going to offer him $580 as trade in value for his 2002 Galant ES with premium package. He didn't want to trade it in at that value with all the hard work he put into it and he knew I still have a passion for these cars so he made me a deal I couldn't refuse.

Here it is...

Here is what I know has been done that I can remember.
2002 ES
Window Tint 5% rear and 35% front
Injen CAI (black)
KYB AGX with Progress Springs
17" Tenzo-R Passion5
3rd Gen JDM Tails
Catz MSC fog lights
Catz 8000k Hi-Lo HID
AC Autotechnic S7 gauges
Front brake conversion to a dual piston from a V6 3G.
Converted rear from drums to disc from a 99 GST.

Alot more done to it besides that. He kept things pretty simple but used quality parts. Really took care of this car. When I get the chance I will post new pictures and have a complete list of all that has been done to it.

Car broke down for the final time and I got fed up with it. Tore the front bumper off because no one wanted to touch it to tow it. Decided to part it out and then bought a Sentra for a commuter car for my wifey...

[SNWFLK]

Well looks like you have a nice base to start from. I'm subscribed

[4g63lover]

WLCOME BACK! Its always nice to see the OG's come back!

[6G72gearhead]

Good to see there are still a few of us old guys around/coming back. I'm excited to see what you build this time around!

[Prophet]

OG triple OG OG lol... first thing I think I am going to do is the obligatory shave off the emblems and clear the corners...

[wetamup2k3g]

Welcome back Jason!! Waiting to see what this one becomes.

[2002BlackDragon]

Welcome back to the game! I too am looking for another G.

Welcome back dude!

EDIT: What are your plans with this 8G?

[Prophet]

For now nothing too fancy... alot of the money is going towards car audio. Style will be real simple... JDM front end, 2G JDM tails. M5 lip spoiler. Drop on Tien and KYB GR-2's. Injen intake if they still make it and Greddy exhaust and of course wheels. Have decided on what style just yet... That will be stage 1... after that who knows what I might do...

[njjfudge]

Welcome back! Nice little car you have there.

OG triple OG OG lol... first thing I think I am going to do is the obligatory shave off the emblems and clear the corners...

Ohhh yeaaa, clearing the corners #bigthumbs

[dknight3]

good to hear your back

[beam514]

Instead of buying Tein's and GR-2s, you should buy my Progress Spring w/ KYB AGX :) we're both in Cali!

Look at what the years brought back !

[Prophet]

Wow so many OG's still here! Beam thanks for the offer but I am going to pass... I got a line on another Galant that almost had all the parts I am looking for. What part of Socal are you at?

Dave sup big dawg! I knew you would still be around... what's good?

[beam514]

I'm in the Pasadena area. Are you going to MOD this year? What is this other Galant you speak of? Parts car or that will be the new car?

Still got the Galant myself. Still have all the VRG parts not installed lol. I'm on a Reelax timeframe apparently...lol

I don't know if you remember drybear... Len with the V6 turbocharged 8G. I guess ever since his car was broken into it has just been sitting in his garage... Not going to MOD. So what brings you out to Cali anyway?

lol... Is Reelax still around?

[Galantman03]

geeze I remember drybear lol. yeah Reelax shows up from time to time. we need more O.G.s

[2002BlackDragon]

haha yeah I remember drybear, though I think his activity was diminishing when I joined up. So I guess turbo is in the picture huh? And I have lived in socal my entire life!

[wetamup2k3g]

Reelax pops up from time to time. Glad to see the OG reunion lol what's up Dave!

lol... for reals? For some odd reason I always thought you where living in like Idaho or some shit like that... haha...

Turbo isn't in the picture... The wifey won't let me do any car audio in my SUV and it has been along time since I have been in a competition so that is where most of the money is going into. Last time I hit 143db in my old Galant and I want to hit at least 145db this time...
