Looks hard!!!
What color you going with the wheels?
Show off!! Jk..loving your G, man..
Quick update. Shes been on stands the past two weeks because I need to get the wheels painted. So in the meantime, I bought some tires, and waiting on spacers to come in the mail. Everytime I order something from MAPerformance, it needs to be dropped shipped and takes forever.
255/40/17 Federal 595 RSR. Was going to go with the hankook RS3 but other things came up and these had some good reviews online and comparable to the RS3 for $200+ less. I guess Ill be the test mule.

And a quick look at the new color for her shoes.

Literally just waiting to get them mounted and blanced and the spacers to arrive for BabyG to be back on her feet again.
Nice choice in color. Nice tires there.

These federals run BIG! 255/40/17 hankook rs3 needed an 8mm in the rear and maybe a 5mm up front to clear the coilover. Very close but cleared nonetheless. These weren't even close. All I had laying around were 25mm bolt on adapters so I guess I gotta figure out what I'm gonna do. Definitely sticking with the 25mm though I have an idea. Gotta raise her up another 1" or so and maybe fit some zg flares to the front and I may be able to pull the rear some more. Nothing crazy like Jareds set up but it should look good nonetheless.
Switched up the 25mm with some 15mm. Quick picture. Alignment was set, drives really good. Especially for a car that was deemed "totalled" two years ago.

I'm still in love with the color! Are you still planning on putting flares on it?
Thanks guys!
Techno, honestly, probably not. after measuring everything, I cant bring myself to cut her up that much to make it work.
Love that shot!
Even with smaller spacers and no flares.... its perfect.
Goes to show you that sometimes Less is More.
Looks super clean, I see people have taken quite the liking on stanceworks too. I read the builds on there alot lol.
It looks like I didnt put up any of the drag strip videos.
Took her up to Great Lakes Dragway in Union grove, WI for a shakedown. Didnt launch her or shift it hard, just a nice little cruise down the strip and managed a best of 13.8 @ 113 mph. 60' was 2.6 seconds haha. If we can get the 60' down to a reasonable time, I reckon we can get high 12's out of her with this low boost setup. But honestly, I am quite happy for now. Im able to drive her to the track make a few passes and drive her home. I cant ask anymore from a car that met a pole two years ago. We'll enjoy her as a street car/weekend car for a couple of years then we'll see what she will do once we turn her up and I grow some balls to drive her hard. Next event I'm planning to do is a track event at a local road course. Just gotta find a date to go that corresponds with their instructor days.
On to the videos

nice in car footage. i can't wait till im able to hit the drag strip with mine!!
Try a NASA event
BabyG is hibernating at the moment. Got a couple things I need to do before spring, like replace a sticky thermostat, Get better brakes, and turn the boost up via a Grimmspeed 3port EBC (means I have to wire the harness into the ECU). Also looking to change up the wheels. I am really feeling the new Work CR Kiwamis, or the SBC Enkei RPF1. Right now shes rolling on 18x8.5 Volk TE37 on 245/40/18 Toyo T1R I borrowed from my EVO since my evo needed the 15mm adapters to fit my snow setup.
I feel the 18's are too big though, so I have these TE37 for sale for $1800 obo.

idk why they look staggered, but its a squared +30 setup. The fitment is spot on for a functional setup IMO but I dont like how big the 18's look.
I've pretty much decided to just use BabyG as a drag car. Though, I will probably do the first two Gridlife events before we turn her up. I'm going to get some 8" slicks this year, prolly a 26" and shoot for a low 11/high 10 pass at shootout or IFO. I know what you are all thinking, I dont plan on ending next season with a working 3g trans. As long as work stays good and funds allow, its 10's or bust.
.
They will always look staggered if they are same offset.
She looks great, love the TE37s, I've got Brembos with your name on em. I forget do you have a quaiffe or nah?
Yes I do have the quaiffe.

A quick TGC Exclusive. (Please dont share on fb just yet. I want to reveal after wekfest lol) She's got a ways to go before I can deem her ready for wekfest. Im redoing the exhaust and a couple of small things and I also got a new set of wheels.

Man that looks good. Seem to always pick wheels that suit an 8g well. Can't wait to see it back together to get the full effect.
Real nice jigz, .love the color contrast and the spoke design.
8thLS6 hit it right on the head. You always seem to pick wheels that really compliment the 8g. Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve.

Freaken sexy! I could see those wheels looking good no mtter what color, gunmetal or pewter. Even Gold!
*Shared to Facebook*
Thanks guys! They were an affordable set that looked really good and came in good sizing. Ive never had 18s on a galant before especially not 18x9.5 +15 so these were a pain to fit especially without stretching a tire. I've got the exhaust to finish up, clean up the drivers side headlight, get the rear bumper back from paint and button her up and she'll be ready for wekfest!
Shes ready for Wekfest. Just needs a detail. Shes still a bit dusty. This may be the first 8G with a side exit 3" exhaust. Better pictures after Wekfest

Damn. Bro. Those wheels are perfect for the galant. Looks wicked.
