Greg do the big 3 upgrade while you are there
I don't think there is a need for HO alt, just a good strong battery and a quality replacement alternator. Along with your the alternator, bad grounds can also be to blame, I would check them.Quote:

Yea lol Ive been absent for a while with family life and work its really hard to spend time with the project, but both yesterday and today I spent as most time as possible getting things done. All I really need now is get a custom downpipe and wastegate dump tube and few minor things, but it should be on the road soon breaking in the motor.Quote:

Finished wiring up this gauge not to long ago, cool thing about it is I can set peak boost warnings and such, and for 30 bucks I couldn't go wrong.

All done n day shot of the wheels love it!
Looking good, I've always had a thing for white 8gs. How much did you get that short shifter for?
Thanks. I like the silver better my car looks so much cleaner. like 32$ on ebay
Installed my sideskirts finally even though i'm not fully satisfied with the way they turned out.
Nice Laidback!

Its sitting on my floor right now beisde me. Havent installed it because 1 im not sure how to take the old one out lol. and 2. i think it needs a smaller belt to run and im not sure what size belt to get. if i get a warm day off ima wing it and try and get it in there. My stock alt is finally starting to beg me to put it out of its misery, some days it acts like it doesnt want to charge.

As you can see, I broke a tab in the process. Plastic welded it back on with a solder and scrap plastic, covered it in 2 part epoxy. Thing is stronger than ever

Surprisingly, doing this piece in vinyl was a challenge compared to the rest of the pieces I've done. Got some unavoidable creases and I think something got under (you can see the bumps). Not 100 percent satisfied with the final product, but it will do for now.

Shitty pic and unfinished, but here's my cable for the iPhone (Advanced App mode) and USB. I can control 2 ipods here, or ipod/iphone and USB etc.

All I can say is... 6a1....oh, nevermind. Said too much already.
I thought brain was the only galant in the tri state with a evo swap. I like the burgundy color a lot i never seen a 8g in that color before. As what i did today to my own car opened up the hood and closed it right back.

Well would've posted yesterday when it happened, but I didn't know the forums wete back..but...Got fresh rotors and pads installed all the way around. My old rotors were definitely warped. The new ones did away with the shakes
Did many mods to the G while the site was down
In this picture you can see three. Smoke turn signals, rims/tires, and folding mirrors

Working on interior black trims, and a car wash is finally coming after the fresh paint job done a month ago
Edit: looking for lowering springs or full strut setup
Got rid of my crown royal bag and installed a shift boot from an integra:

And wrapped my visor in sticker bomb vinyl, so if I don't like it I'll just take it off:

I like the sticker bomb wrap. I was thinking about wrapping some interior pieces with it.
Just spent an hour fixing my short throw shifter smh. Going to order the revo technica short throw shifter when i get a chance. I don't how the ball part is adjustable since it comes loose.
During the downtime I figured out what was really going on with my car: voltage drop due to bad battery connection, not bad alternator. I had to jump start my car again and when I pulled the jumpers off once I was done, the negative cable came off the post with no effort whatsoever. I couldn't tighten it anymore than it already was but it would still slide on and off the post. Replaced the battery terminal and haven't had any problems since.

So more AZ goodness. But surprisingly shifting feels a little better.
Drove it from Buffalo to Brentwood, LI and then to Queens.
Nice HKS manifoldQuote:

To the best of what I remember, the wheels are Rota Boost 17x8 +35mm offset. Tires are sized 245/40/17
well, it was a couple days ago, I bought a 6g74 from a local junk yard to be stripped for the engine block, all parts but the later will be up for sale
oh yeah, it still is in the back of my mom's mini van as I haven't had time to rent a hoist
how u fit 245 in there?
The front fit without any modification, but I had the rear fender lips rolled for my previous wheel setup. I imagine if I hadn't done that, the 245's would rub in the rear.
Finally got my manual trans from BRONXBOMBR.Needs new input shaft bearing(Already torn apart and parts to be order tomorrow).After a rebuild, good cleaning and some paint it will be installed.
I did the same at one point. Though I have put a complete motor in my 97 sentra back seat. When I drove cross country I had the block on the back seatQuote:
