I think it can be taken down a little bit more. I was easing onto the throttle for first gear a little too much I think. Maybe like 0.1 seconds? who knows lol. I want to do some more runs but it's hard to find any non-busy, flat straightaways around here.. damn hills lol
yeah ive been told that im good with my hands =]
behind Canoga Park theater there's a flat street and most of the time empty on Pairie ST and Oso AveQuote:

Point out the differences. I can't see them, but I know they're there
That huge wire box on top of the fuel rail is now hidden, the fuel injector wires are tucked, throttle cable was moved, that gross wire across the manifold was also re-routed. It probably takes a person that works on their V6 a lot in order to notice the difference, but it's a lot cleaner IMO.
Oh I forgot to mention that I got bored and polished the hood prop-rod, as well as the front exhaust heat shield. Not quite a mirror, but it's pretty damn shiny lol (can be seen in second "after" photo).
I am considering polishing my intake manifold, but I'm afraid it'll make the SMOG guys more suspicious of what's going on in that bay. A gold valve cover and damn purple wheels don't help.. lol
Ahh now I see it.
Looks good dude.
Looks good, I can see the difference. Attention to detail is good. You should move your battery like BJ did and remove that battery tray. Would look so much better IMO.
Unfortunately I have a huge wiring harness (for the headlights) running where BJ has his battery. He tucked that wire harness behind the fender and somehow pulled it through in another area. Also, that's where my filter sits lol. I am considering relocating the battery to the trunk though, but it may be more trouble than it's worth lolQuote:

No, his battery is tucked under the fender on the shelf on the driver's side. Here's a pic:Quote:

Maybe someday my bay can be that clean... some day... lol
strange, we did talk via the chat on GT about trunk mounting the batteryQuote:

Doesn't look to bad from this angle if you aren't paying close attention:

But then you go to the rear and notice this:

Front isn't so bad:
http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/c...2/IMG_7821.jpg
This is all with some major trimming as well. Why they made the mold the way they did.. I don't know. I had to cut off this goofy part in the rear as well:
http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/c...2/IMG_7609.jpg
WOW! Thats about as bad as my sideskirts were. I'd highly recommend the bodyshop I went to once you get the dough to do it...
I thought you got yours from Cali?
Adrain she looks great.
No, I got my JDM rear from Cali. Cali hasnt made the Old Style sides. I was supposed to lend him my FG sides to help him start the GB, but there wasnt enough interest. I bought my sides from KaziKai who purchased them in Asia. The sides were made to fit JDM Spec so I had to have them modified to fit USDM. The bodyshop I went to did a great job of fitting them...Quote:

^This is what you need to do to your heads! Lol!
Dang bro! I'm suppose to be studying for my last final but i got to sidetracked with your build. I read through most of the pages lol. This is one bad ass ride. One of my favorites on here!
lol thanks man. I don't come on here too often any more b/c I am so busy with school these days. I appreciate the compliment though!
Hey beam514, did you end up finishing the erebuni side skirts install? because i bought the same one and i was hoping to get some tips with the installation. It'll be my first time working with fiberglass
Wow it has been over 2 years since my last post in this thread!
To answer your question, no I did not. They are still sitting in my garage and my life is quite busy now so I don't know if I'll ever get around to it. I'm not sure I have the desire to do all the fiberglass work because I have never worked with it either.
Beam! I didn't know you still were alive, what have you been up to?
Although, 2 years or so, I was at the Cal Poly campus and I could of sworn I saw your car
Haha you just might have, though I drove it to campus very rarely (usually rode my bike. The Galant would sit in the garage for almost a month sometimes).
I've been good, I'm a mechanical engineer (designer) in the aerospace industry. What are you up to?
Damn Adrian, college paid off huh? Glad to see you're doing well bro.
Working a lot, helped build a robot, working on building an engine for my Galant, inventing a few things, little bit of school, you know, the usual
Hey guys I'm wanting to swap to the 6g74 in my 8g galant v6 sohc. Iwas curious if there was any fabrication involved
