I have been looking through vba code, excel, domherring, asa/caps, and the net all day almost done compiling parts and prices for all listed parts of the 2000 galant. For easy price upload to caps/asa

Start saving for the suspension, try to fight the urge to buy "little blue this and little blue that"

You will be very happy in the end.

Yeah I'm over the blue stage if you haven't noticed lol. The interior is it and nothing outside. Do you recommend springs or coilovers? I'm still torn between them

oakrdrs187

If I had to do it again after seeing the info here I would go with the coilovers ivory_g has.

Programmed a stock key fob. $20 off ebay + free programming with the help of a paperclip... sure as hell beats the $70 fob / $50 programming from Mitsu.

Paint will come out ok if u prep and take your time and do it right. But powdercoat will hold up longer.

That's better since the JDM mirrors are RHD and won't give u the right viewing angle anyway.

Good idea. Another good tip, since they are folding mirrors, kink in your right side mirror a bit. Since they are meant for a RHD car, the angle of the right mirror is more outwards than inwards. I do that for when I'm doing a fairly long trip in the Galant.

I'm sorry but that's a half ass solution why not just do it the right way and not have to worry about it every time

Parts for rear disc swap, parts for rear sway bar add on, ASA, and got my IP blocked from trademotion for getting the pert number and prices for the galant. On the bright side I do have the don herring mitsubishi prices for 5960 parts on the 2000 galant

I picked up a V6 manual trans and an Actron CP9580 today.

EDIT: The trans is from an 2000 eclipse and they said it had 45,xxx miles on it, got it for $650, they also had another 2000 with 156,xxx miles for $500.

Not really. You can put in the correct mirror, but still have the issue of the mirror's angle (the base) still too far to see.

The base isn't angled any differently, its all in the glass. The only way there could even possibly be a slight difference is in how far you can adjust each side. However it won't ever matter as I would doubt that anyone would ever max either side out.

With the JDM glass still installed u would Max out the passenger side all the way in and still be too far out. And driver side would be maxed out all the way out and still not the right angle. I'm gonna install the mirage lenses soon and test the difference.

Yep on the passenger side it can only go so much inwards, and I did not use mirage mirrors i cut the glass on the USDM mirror to fit where the JDM mirrors sit.

Did the stock glass help the viewing angle??
