-Turn signal and windshield wiper levers (my wiper lever is broken, needed a new one and didn't feel like paying $43 at the stealership)
-Cruise control (why not, I only paid $1 and it was already pulled from the car hah i just had to unscrew it from the wheel)
-Spare valve cover (to powdercoat)
-Fuel door (the hinge on mine is broken)
I was also looking for a 5 spd trans (which i did find from a 7G galant but if i'm not mistaken, it won't work because the trans is on the opposite side from the 8G, right?) Also no luck finding a V6 throttle body or Outlander intake manifold... oh well
P.S. pulled the mirrors off a 97' Honda Accord for the mirror swap but when i held them up to the mirror spot on one of the junked 8G's they didn't appear to fit at all... the curvature that the 8G mirrors have wasn't there on the Accord mirrors so I didn't take em...
Got my Evo steering wheel on the way!!
Come on people! COMMENT!
Needs moar tyre!
So excited for the wheels, also nice choice on the EVO wheel, but I would've just gotten a Nardi or Personal wheel :fap:
Ahh the tires will be a few weeks at the very least to come in :( There are none in stock right now...Quote:

Still has airbag, thus not quite as epic
That it does, BUT! It will be beneficial in case my head decides it wants to smash through the windshield in an accident.Quote:

I was talking about the contour of the mirrors, I know you have to drill to get the studs to line up.Quote:

Pete didn't you say the mirrors were supposed to be from 98-02 accord?
Lets see some pics! hope you get that idle fixed.
The DIY says 94'-97' and the ones I pulled were off a car made in 97' so i wasn't sure if it was a 97' model year or a 98'Quote:

The overlay on the gauge cluster looks like carbon fiber.What is the big turbo is it a 20g?
Did you get the gauges from harrys?
That looks like a real CF overlay similar to what Prophet was selling a couple months back. Nice find!
Run compound turbo setup plox
Yeah i know its carbon fiber but the gauges themselves are different.Quote:

These gauges were the first available gauges of this type for the Galant I believe, and I know the OG's had something to do with getting the product made.
I could NEVER run that massive turbo on the Galant haha I just couldn't pass it up because the price was right.Quote:

Because they cleared the needles too, which is something that was popular for alot of the members on here. (We have a tutorial on it as well.)
Thanks for providing the name, i was curious lol. It definitely could have been a member from here although I do believe that the car they came out of was otherwise 100% stock.Quote:

Compound setup man...Do it. A guy on the Fit forums could probably give you some advice. He knows his DSM's.
