3" converter 2.5" all 304 stainless tig welded and ill have it electro polished straight trough and turns into a dual exhaust right after the drive shaft tunnel btw the converter isn't real its just a look alike so i can get the car registered.
Btw all the metrial is a graduation present from my dad aint no way i would be able to aford all that atm lol
So, I got luck and my friend knew someone selling winter steelies and tires with about 500 miles on them for $250. I jumped on it not even thinking because that was under half what I would spend to put winter tires on the extra 17" rims I have. Well dumb me, I checking the lug pattern and nothing else. Turns out the wheels were off a Civic so the center bore was only 64.1mm. Now what? Start hunting junk yards and asking everyone I know to no avail. Enter Guzm4n:

Great, Guzm4n saves me from the wraith of my wife, only have to spend a little more $ and I'm set. She tells me that I have to get the old steelies sold as soon as possible to offset my extra cost. Still I've got a great deal for an extra set of rims and snow tires so I'm happy. Run everything up to my friend so he can swap out tires. He gets done and we are talking about what else we are going to do to my Galant. We start talking about getting all my prothane bushings in and getting aligned. he tells me to go home and get the winter set on so as not to scratch my good rims when we align the car before we swap bushings so we know nothing else is bad. I'm thinking, great,finally some more progress, then he hits me with "you got the mag lug nuts that go with these rims right?":orangeconfused: Yes I'm an idiot. So I spend about 6 hrs at the junk yard walking the ground and digging in the dirt but finally found them:

But I got lucky again and happened upon these:

AEM Short Ram Intake-$11

Eclipse Strut Bar-$12
Nice, the couplers look a little beat up, I think the AEM pipe is 2.75 inches, so you would need a 90 degree 2.75 inch coupler and a straight 2.75 to 3 inch for the MAF
The AEM intake was a deal!
No problem man glad to see them going to use & I totally forgot about the mag lug nuts sorry about that wish I would've remembered
I honestly had no idea Mitsubishi used mag lugs. And no worries, I thought to message you to see if you happened to have them still but you already saved my ass once. Words can not describe the anger my wife had towards me about these damn tires. I'm just very thankful you helped me out.
So in the Christmas spirit I decided to get my wheels redone. I already did the centers but now I'm stuck between a few ideas for the lip. Do I go back to chrome? Polished or do I go Black? http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...750fb1b1f7.jpg
Stay chrome. Love that car.

Black chrome
Second that. Black chrome.
thanks for the comments you guys. That black chrome sounds interesting, gonna look into that to see how that might look.

on the topic of wheels... ive bin lookin at xxr 522 from what i understand they are a replica of Rota wheels. here is what a friend told me he said that rota made/make replica of other wheels i think he said einke but they got so popular that they got more expencive is that true xxr are like the replica of the replica
I love it lol. You convinced me
I really like that black chrome! So what's it take to apply that to a set of rims?

Idk that's what I'm going to find out tomorrow lol
xxr is a subdivision of American racing wheels if im correct. Rota makes knockoffs of popular wheels. im sure they make similar styles, but if youre on a budget, they're there for a low price. just don't purchase them and put volk/enkei stickers. its like getting a galant es and putting vr4 badges and telling everyone its a genuine vr4.Quote:

XXR 522 are just plain ugly, I don't know that they're necessarily a replica of anything though.Quote:

^^^and that's the bottom line, cause Stone Cold said so!
Lol! Miss the 'attitude' era...
Went to the junkyard and scored on some moulded mud flaps for the G for 15$ and got an m3 lip for the trunk lid for Christmas. Now I cant wait to get her painted so I can put the lip on. :)
Doesn't look to bad when she's laid out.
Nice! I love my m3 lip. Always looks so clean

Ive always wanted an m3 lip. It does look sleek.
^ very nice dood!!
I am now the proud owner of another 8g this one is a 2000 es with the 4cyl
kinda of weird but i didn't know that the black es came with non power tan leather interior
and the infinity sound system. also another thing is the Mitsubishi logo and name are embroidered into the front seats.
I picked her up for $700 all that needs done is the crank sensor went bad, going to be replacing the timing belt and balance shaft belt while i'm
in there.
