It reminds me of a Dodge Charger Daytona, haha! The first pic I actually like how it looks but the rest is like, meh. But then again you actually track your car. Lol
^Same here lol I thought it was an evo wing at first glance
it's pretty tall, there is a shorter version that I might be getting as well, but this is purely for track use and will help in the tail happy nature of my car by still allowing the car to rotate but at the same time it will allow me added adjustment. Front splitter is in the works as well.
And of course, it's carbon fiber :)!!
I say F it, get the big one (pause).
Looks Luke that wrc evo wing lol idk you could do away with a smaller wing and still satisfy your downforce needs. Style and racing do go together
Ummm my opinion over kill. Too high
I like it, it goes well with the car.
Your car sees track time.
F aesthetics if fast.
What about this? Your car at the end of the day, just throwing ideas out http://dtmfiberwerkz.com/access/styl...ler-p-591.html
Of course fitment is in question
diggin the wing. not that style. i prefer a more classic gt wing with wide stays
looks really bad at that angle but i think thats because its sitting on your lip.
would look way better sittin flat.
Managed to improve my best time from before by nearly 10 seconds, however the car doesn't have enough cooling with the stock radiator/fan setup and thus the temperatures started to creep up. Car has @ least another 5 seconds in it at minimum once I have the cooling situation sorted, should be a sub 1:30 car @ PIR once I can actually push it and keep the throttle pinned instead of backing off like I had to in order to keep temps under control. Aluminum radiator, dual slim fans, and a lower temp thermostat are either ready to be installed or have been ordered. Just didn't have a chance before the day to install the my mishimoto radiator. On the plus side the car was PLANTED in the corners with the new RS3s and spring rates, rotating the perfect amount with very minute understeer @ the very limit. Very pleased with the results.

First time out after a huge round of mods including the turbo setup, car handled really well but the cooling system was not up to snuff, melted my radiator shroud and radiator fan and started to slowly creep, I could only do 3 laps at a time and I couldn't go full throttle very often, you'll see a lot of coasting and part throttle as I'm trying to manage the heat. Cooling upgrades on the way.
I find it a little ironic that I remember riding in the back seat of this car when my mom purchased it brand new and I thought it was the coolest thing ever at the tender age of 8... so much has changed.
Nice video car sounds good
I like how you passed a Miata, a Porsche and a Camaro. Nice driving!
^trust me, there was a lot more passing done of expensive cars in the miata I was driving than in the galant, next time I'll be passing more cars simply because I'll actually stay out for a full 20-30 minute session. rs3s are terrific, 95% of an entry level R compound grip in a tire that will last longer and you can actually drive on the street with. There is easily another 5- 8 seconds in the car, I was nowhere near pushing it constantly coasting and breathing off the throttle. this was the first time out on new spring rates as well, and I managed to destroy one of the AMR coils, by the time I got home it was blowing fluid everywhere. Turns out that in my prototype set andy used a shock tube for a wishbone suspension car which doesn't see as much lateral stress as a mac strut car like the galant and thus much thinner than the one I needed. Long story short, I managed to bend the passenger side quite badly due to the strain of tracking. Called Andy at 9 that night, told him what happened. He told me to come by the next morning. I showed up at AMR the next morning to find two brand new front dampers with much thicker rods, free of charge because of that lifetime warranty. Apparently I'm the first shock failure in 8 years and that was because I was still on the prototypes which had a more fragile rod design. Car is back together and perfect now, couldn't be happier, much love to AMR for their excellent customer service, here's some photos.

seems a bit longer. i take it didnt come near the axle?
nope, clears just fine
Hey brotato what is the benefit of the longer damper?
More adjustment up and down as well as more shock travel when combined with the revised shorter bumpstops he gave me.
Ahh kewl.
exhaust noise under load, in case anyone cares haha
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prJPv...ature=youtu.be
all youve got is a 3'" downpipe, 3" exhaust piping to the muffler and a magnaflow? any resonators or cats? that sounds really good, almost too good if you ask me.
Sounds great, Where exactly is the muffler, in the straight section before the gas tank? Do you know the diameter of it 6" or 7"?
sounds great.
Yeah, 3 inch DC downpipe which bolts right in, just needed some custom hangers on the back portion, 3 in mandrel bent piping and a small magnaflow tucked up high with a y pipe for my two tips. Entire exhaust has been ceramic coated as well.
The muffler is in the same area as the stock one would be but tucked higher and moved back to accomodate the y pipe and the dual tips. Really pretty simple guys.
The nice thing about the DC downpipe is that it is much longer than a stock evo downpipe, it actually incorporates a test pipe in it and comes with multiple O2 bungs.
It actually sounds like a Sirius motor unless the rest of the SOHC crap you hear. Sounds great.
Put some RPW 272 in the SOHC and see how it sounds LOL. For the few sec my motor was idling the SOHC sounded pretty good. :bouncing: Cant wait to rev that bitch.
Greddy muffler sounds good.
GReddy SE is gone sadly, as much as I loved having a "JDM" exhaust on my car, it had to go, was too quiet and too restrictive, although fortunately it was sold to another galant owner so all is well. Thanks for the kind words guys, I was trying to achieve an exhaust with great flow and sound but still be daily driveable. I drive 80 miles a day at minimum and a lot of it is on the freeway so I'm very pleased with the complete and utter lack of drone and rasp.
I wanted to run an exhaust like that. Never got a chance, staggered tips. But probably burnt TI coloring.
^yeah, I went back and forth about getting blingy tips, but then decided to just ceramic coat the thing. Might switch it up down the road who knows.
I would just leave a tad bit of the tip polished and burnt. The rest ceramic
I can always go back and polish the tips down the road, we shall see.
