Galant Evolutions build thread:
Hey all!!
Im happy because im finally finished with all the motor work its running well and no problems anymore!! so now i dont need to spend money on fixing the car, i can spend it in parts and upgrades! Need your advice about things and such! Ok basically if you guys dont know already im in-love with EVOs. I love the style of them! If i could marry one i would, im only 19 and cant afford one :'-( Anyways, the car was handed down to me from my mother about a year ago. When my parents got divorced she got a new car and left the other one sitting in a friends yard for 3 years!!!! at the time i didnt care at all about it because i couldnt drive and i wasnt concerned about it and didnt know i would be getting the car. So after 3 years of sitting the paint was horrible, and it just sped up problems for the car. When i got the car it drove well, very nice. I didnt know anything about cars, and i didnt care too, i was into motocross at the time and i was concentrating on that, the car was just to get me around. Now its my baby <3.

Alittle information about my build plan I personally love the Evo MR VIII its my fav car!! i would love to own one but because of money (like everything else) i cannot afford one. So over this past year i have grown very close to my car. I want to make my car LOOK similar to that of the Evo MR VIII. The Galant Evolution.
MY PLAN
First what i want to do is research about about the Evo MR, i plan to give my car some attitude and an aggressive look of the Evo MR. I want to customize my car within a budget of about 5,000 over a year or so, idc how long it takes but it should take no longer than two years since i can get a hold of parts and i have access to a lift here at work! below is an updated parts list!
*[x] represents i have done the mod or have the parts
*[ ] represents i have not completed the mod yet and dont have the parts
[x] Evo 8 wing
[x] Evo MR fins
[x] Tinted windows 35% around
[x] Short ram air intake
[x] Custom eclipse seats
[ ] Eclipse steering wheel
[ ] Generation 3 tails
[x] Carbon fiber Evo hood
[ ] New black headliner
[ ] New black carpet
[x] Painted (black) rear seats
[x] Meagan racing lowering springs
[x] KYB struts and shocks
[ ] Rear windsheild wiper mod (from MR)
[ ] Cat-back exhaust (ebay) (evo replica muffler)
[ ] New pearl white paintjob exterior, 2 stage paint, me and my dad are doing the job!
[ ] Brembo brake setup
[ ] Rear disc conversion
[ ] V6 TB swap
[ ] Evo 18'' rims black
[ ] Front integra mugen style lip
[ ] Cyber 2 rear lip
[ ] JDM new style sides

For the interior of the car, i want to stitch the Mitsubishi logo onto the headliner or stain it...whatever way would look the best on there. As for the dash and plastics i think im going to paint it all black, and add the white accents. As some of you may kno i love the evo 8 look, if you have any suggestions or comments please feel free to post!
