next challange was to overcome the tach issue. the 7g galant had a distributor so it won't read the tach signal. so i surgically removed the 2g tack and placed it in my cluster. perfect fit.

Lol im in the same boat. Probably most I'm willing to do to any car is bolt ons. But to build a motor...nah.

So defintely props here, looks clean and has some power behind it

[gtx]

Good work, nice to see more 7g love on the boards!

[wetamup2k3g]

Chris, you going to MOD? If so, I may have trouble keeping up with you this time!

[kolio]

Chris, you going to MOD? If so, I may have trouble keeping up with you this time!

yes sir, she yanks hard. and its not even tuned yet. it's on 10lbs with factory tune. but all the engine mods are helping it move

believe it or not. the swap isn't too bad. i had been prepping for a while so it was painless. fired up on first try after we switched the coils around

[Galanttuner10]

That's awesome. I hope you can make MOD. I will be in attendance this year with the Evo. Have fun keeping up with Drew and I Greg.

I wish I could bring the 7G but I unregistered it for the winter. Maybe if I have it next year I will bring it.

[kolio]

i should be at mod ;)

[wetamup2k3g]

Ohhh I can't wait!
