^^+1. I'm 8G all day, but dope Galant is dope no matter the gen! I read all the builds, I just have no familiarity whatsoever with anything not 8G.
Agreed! LOL
8g/7g same shit, just inverted 180* lol
Well here's more.
I ordered and already got the wrong main bearings. Now Ill have an extra set for the red G. For whoever cares, the 96 and later 7g uses split bearing style just like 8g, 97-99 DSM and Evo 8-9.
I was surprised to see no oil leaking from the main seal.

It took me exactly 5 min to remove the pilot bearing. I used some grease and the back part of 3/8 extension, tabbed it a few times and it came out.

Most of the work on the block is done. The balance shafts were deleted, honed the walls and resurfaced the deck top.

97-98 7gs used the thrust washer style bearings. My 96 was made late in the year and is flange not thrust washers. According to Mitsu after 1/3/97 7gs went to the thrust washer style.
A little teaser to what the interior is going to look like:

Looking good man!
Tan leather door inserts would look good with what you got going on. I know in your other thread you had the question about that, now that I can see what you're going with, I'd do that. Looks great BTW!
That looks awsome chris. did you use paint or dye?
Thanks guys! Believe me I try hard.
The plastics are painted and the carper is dyed.
dash? dyed?
Nice! Interior reminds me of the JDM 8G's...
