Well here goes nothing...
Hey guys, my name's Brian, i'm 20, i fix welders and plasma cutters for a living, and i've had vehicle experience with everything from a custom turbo'd Hyundai Tiburon GT to a 450whp Camaro Z28 to a restored 1986 Toyota 4Runner.
I had been daily driving my 1986 4Runner (with 275K on it) and decided i wanted something that gets better mileage. Near my mom's house I saw a 1999 Mitsubishi Galant in a guys driveway and decided i'd go find out what he was asking.
It had 262K on it, it's a 4cyl, and wasn't in the best of shape. We cut a deal and $1000 lighter, she was mine.
At first, to the joy of my girlfriend I vowed that i wasn't going to modify it in any way.
Unfortunately for her, last week i found TGC, that night I bought a set of 17" Kosei K1 wheels...
The mod bug had bit me once again...
So here are my plans, laid out in a linear fashion so you guys can see what i plan on doing/what I have done.
First things first, the list!
1.1 Appearance
-Paint (bright red)
-JDM tail lights
-JDM head lights
-CF hood (painted to match body)
-New grille
-JDM front bumper
-Some sort of lip (maybe)
1.2 Suspension
-Kosei K1 17x7.5 (got em)
-Tein lowering springs
-Anti-sway bars (are there any for the Galant?)
-Strut bar(s)
-Hankook Ventus V2 Concept tires 225/45-17
1.3 Performance
-Turbo and all that goes with it (wether that be a kit or a custom job)
-Sonata 5spd swap
-Megan Racing Drift Spec exhaust (or ebay equivalent, i heard its the same)
That's all I can think of (for now)! Stay tuned guys!
