What valve springs did you go with? I don't think I've looked at 6g75 springs before so I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking at in the picture lol.
This isn't the greatest picture, but it shows enough of the stock 6g75 valve springs. Enough to see they're not what's in the built heads.

Oh wow. If my eyes serve me right those are oem Mitsubishi springs......from another performance line.

Your eyes may be playing tricks on you. They're not OEM.
Studded 6g75 for your viewing pleasure.

Heads are now installed as well.

They look like my RPW's.
They are DOHC 6G72TT VR4 LS1 Mivec cams.

They're RPW springs. Hoping they'll be seeing a little action next week.
So I've been spending less time in the garage than I had planned for, but still have some updates.
The wiring harness has been put back together and the dash is installed.

And the one step that has me feeling like I'm making some progress. Engine and trans are now back in the car.

Prep those damn frame rails already and buy a spool of .03 wire for mild steel that requires shielding gas. I'm sure it'll cost you all of $8...
All the same. Hopefully I'll have your intake manifold at work tomorrow. Perhaps a runable engine will facilitate some more motive yet.
Also you should work that wire brush magic you have on the tears in that Y pipe and prep it for that bung. I can take care of all the welding in one go...
I expect a text when this thing is running.
We need that race.
but first, make sure you take a selfie.
^^^And play "summertime sadness"

I tend to stay on the other side of the camera and dont think I've taken a selfie since the myspace days back in '06-ish. I don't really expect that to change anytime soon either, sorry to disappoint.
However, I do have this picture to share. The only thing between where it's at and firing it up is wiring and installing the radiator. The only setback is deciding how and where I want to route the wire harness.

Started the car tonight. All I can say is damn it has a very aggressive idle to it. If all goes to plan tomorrow, I'll get a clip of it.
Here's a more recent picture. Before the intake and radiator.

Shit looks nice
I'd love to hear the idle!
tease, can't wait to hear it
A quick video to deliver some goods.

That's awesome, I can't imagine that at WOT
I think I replayed that video 20x. Matt, it sounds amazing. Can't wait to hear it in person!
Sounds bad ass!!
Waiting on a clip going under a loooong overpass. I'll probably bust one off, maybe two if I'm going thru a dry spell at the time!
I have a huge boner right now! Well, its not huge, but I'm deff sporting some wood after that Vid! Can't wait for more!

Thanks guys!
It's still a ways out from hitting the road yet. Yesterday I found a nice little puddle of coolant on the floorboard. I knew I should have changed the heater core while I was in there, but shit happens. I'll bypass it for now and replace it when the car is parked this Fall.
Checklist of things to do:
Bypass heater core
install coilovers
install carpet
install center console
install seats
make bracket for recaro seat
install fenders, hood, bumper, headlights, and grille
Got one in particular around my way I love to hit wot..especially when I had my 240. Full 3" exhaust was madness lol. With the galant its a lil more tame since not much invested in the exhaust. But back on subject. Love the cams, can't wait to see some pulls/ fly-by's. How's the power difference?
Out of curiosity, why are you bypassing the heater core? I know some of you guys live in states where it doesn't get very cold. But having dealt with cars that like to overheat I've found having a working heater can help act as a 2nd radiator and keep an engine that got hot from overheating.
Did you not read the part where he said the heater core is leaking?
Ooops, haha, that is understandable.
I just see so many people that bypass the heater core just because, and I don't understand it. Mine has saved my engine more than once.
Its good for 20whp!
