That's good to hear Matt. What I wouldn't give for you or anyone of these other Galant geniuses to live closer to me. My car has been down for months and finally had to take it to a mechanic this last week. 2 shops flat out turned me away because it has a swapped motor and manual tranny. The one that did take it had it 2 days to tell me what I already knew and that the reason it won't idle right and backfires is because it has too many tranny codes in ECU. Whatever, found a new mechanic to look at and instead of towing it again I got to drive it and it was nice driving a stick again, it's been numerous years.
Feel free to PM me. I would beore than happy to attempt to help troubleshoot it remotely.
What's going on with it exactly? Just codes?

A much needed foam wash.
^Explain what you have please... everything I've seen you need a pressure washer with a foam canon

Yes. You need the foamer. This is what I use.Quote:

I guess the buck in the picture was a bit misleading. Like in a 2 bucket wash it's simply the rinse bucket for my little microfiber noodle sponge.
According to the manual of the foamer it supposedly works with as little as 1300-1400 psi which can probably be achieved with a hundred dollar electric washer.

Hey guys! I've been AFK for a while since I've been so busy with my internship this summer. I met a guy at work who drives a pretty beat up 240, but he loves it. He calls it his beautiful piece of shit haha He helped me lower the Accord on Saturday! Nothing crazy, 1.5" all the way around on Ebaich springs, but it makes a difference.

Winter prep!

Cleanup:
I spent most of the day, giving it a wash / wax
Door seals:
I spent some time going over the seals on the car with silicone grease like I do every year before winter. Keeps the seals fresh and helps
stop sticking in icy conditions. Checked all fluids.
Trim Piece Replaced:
You can't really tell, but I also replaced the long trim piece that runs from the front near the cowl to the back, the one drip molding that runs the length of the car.
Mitsubishi ordered it and surprisingly it came in the next day, which was nice. It wasn't hard to replace, so I didn't take pictures.
Inspection:
Checked everything, determined that I need to do a few things soon. Ie; replace shocks, clean the steering wheel.
I need to touch up the under carriage and paint some parts, since I haven't done that since spring.
Notes:
I really appreciate my 8g, and want it to stay well maintained, because small maintenance issues can really add up over time.
Out of everything I've owned, its probably my favorite car.
WOW! Beautiful car.
Haha thanks coconut. I appreciate that.
Your Welcome theenternalconflict.
I 2nd what coconut said. I wish my stock wheels were in better condition like yours. I probably would've held out longer on 18's as the stock ones suit the car well.
Haha, thanks for the good word. The stock wheels are only that way because I paint them every now and then. I'm hoping to paint them before winter but I don't know if I'll be able to make it happen. And here I am dreaming of 18's ...
Hmmmm bump sticks!!

I replaced the timing belts for a second time on my Galant. I also replaced the water pump and that was pretty hard because I had bought one from AAP. I believe it would have been alot easier if I had used a OEM pump instead. And I replaced the cam seal and made a special tool to hold the Crank and cam to remove both gears. The tool was made out of angle iron. 2 in 1 tool! Btw sweet Black Galant above!
Cam gear tool made from 2X4 and old cam belt for those who don't have a welder.

All of the bushings in the front and rear, including the rear spindles, are now polyurethane. Next is to install the camber kits and align it
