Nice work. Man I really wish you were coming to the All-Mitsu Cookout at the end of the month.
Great work. Just needs a little bit more tint and were good.

#TeamPatriotRedPearl Stand Up!
Loving it bro!
Thanks Everyone!
I would go but the distance plus the next day I'll have school. Next year for sure I'll go since this will be my last year of high school.
Thinking about leaving tint as one of those last things to do to it
You know it!
Here's some stuff that's been going on with the Galant
Finally bought a legit JDM old style bumper so no more duraflex for me, still haven't installed it yet because still need to paint it.

6G74 lower intake manifold ported thanks to silvertune and 3000GT VR4 fuel rails with the 6G75 fuel injectors

I have a questions for the 5-speed swapped people. Do you guys know if the wedge collar in the pressure plate of the clutch is suppose to spin with the TOB or not? Or is it okay if it stays in place when the TOB spins?
This is what I'm referring to:
https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3861/...2efef010_o.jpg
The reason I ask is because I bought an ACT Monoloc to experiment with. It fits my clutch so I put on the TOB to test it and the Monoloc stays in place while I spin the TOB but I'm not sure if this is okay or not. The clutch currently on the Galant right now, has its wedge collar sticking a little out crooked. I read about the monoloc & hoping it will fix this problem if it wants to happen on the new clutch.

Nice nice. Yeah that wedge collar is suppose to stay put. No spinning. The monoloc is very good at keeping your tob from popping out of the pressure plate. It happens from time to time when banging gears on certain trannies

Glad that manifold got to you this time. Fucking USPS. Some quality pieces going into this motor, I look forward to the final product.
well well well, I guess I returned to TGC at a good time! I'll be watching this build closely..
Nice, did you set a date to get the swap done by?
This is getting good (not that it wasn't before), about to get some popcorn and cherry coke lol
Thanks!
I know, I don't know how they lost it or if they did open it up why they didn't tape it back up
Not really, I'm hoping to get it done sometime in July if everything goes good. I'm really just trying to finish it before I start college
Cleaned up the heads
https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2911/...e86c23e1_c.jpg
And the top of the pistons are now clean

Flywheel resurfaced

Good work. Bur what did you mean by cleaned the heads?

Yeah, really... lucky kid, lol! Good job, nice car! :)
congrats on the bumper! i might take the other one off ya hands if you sale it [and dependin on price]
idk if you'll want it, it's chipped and cracked, but if you do just give me some time to find a box big enough & I might let it go for not that much since the condition it's in.
So my Galant does not have a 6G72 anymore...
the 6G75 has a new home in my Galant's engine bay

I love what's going on with your car!

Love the build. Can't wait to see it around town.
looks like a lot of good quality work! nice build
Haven't really been active as much as I used to be on here, but now I'm back! So here's some things that has happened to the Galant. It was retuned some months back. The brembos finally went on during the summer as well along with some D2 coilovers
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/653/2...2318780a_c.jpg
The Evo got some Enkei RS05RRs so I threw the BBS wheels on the Galant for a little bit, the tires are too big so I raised the front a little but still rubbed at full lock
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/711/2...4882870f_c.jpg
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/569/2...a86f4b2c_c.jpg
Tired of rubbing and missing my RPF1s, I bought some 10mm spacers to clear the front Brembos and decided to replace the optional grille with the old style grille until the whole car gets repainted
https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5801/...daf311f3_c.jpg
Found a set of Toyo Proxes R1Rs in really good condition for $400 shipped!
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/681/2...d2ab5db6_c.jpg
Future plans is to find a spare transmission so I can drop a LSD in it, still not sure if to go with the Wavetrac or the Quaife.
Looking great! Great Score on the T1Rs!!
Really like the way those brembos look, but I knowing their stopping power is what really counts
So before i knew about TGC, this was my plan for it:

Yea, go ahead and laugh
what size rims are those you installed dam they are awesome did you do an Suspension upgrade
I have 17x8 RPF1s & yes I'm on coilovers right now along with other suspension mods
RPF1s off & ready for winter
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/693/2...191f19f5_b.jpg
The EVO BBS looked perfect IMO.
They do, I'm going to get smaller tires on them before I throw them back on the Galant
I bought these JDM heads with projectors in them from a member here awhile back. Finally decided to finish them up and put them on the Galant.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/759/2...8f5cc821_c.jpg
All that was left to do was secure the projectors and get shrouds. First shrouds I tried were Mini Gatling Guns but I didn't like how they looked
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/596/2...65f12b7d_c.jpg
I then went with the E46 shrouds
https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5749/...3b0a59d8_c.jpg
Needed to do some trimming to get them to fit
https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5749/...ebf6bd04_c.jpg
Mock up how they would look with the lens on
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/600/2...4a60c56b_c.jpg
All finished
https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5828/...d589b610_c.jpg
I also got this never knew there was one for the Galant, my friend has one on his Civic Ferio clone. Not sure what gen they came on but I'm going to make I work in mine
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/669/2...d5a00b37_c.jpg
Was that 3rd brake light on ebay? Might've been the same one I was considering but decided against because I feared the green light would mean a ticket. I assume it lights up green, or some variation. If you feel up to it, def post pics when you get it on I'd be interested to see. Like the retro headlights too.
Yea that's where I got it! I assume it lights up green too because that's the color of the letters. Since I have a GTZ my third brake light is on the spoiler :)
Lol nice way of getting around it. I forgot gtzs had their 3rd light on the spoiler. I know when I had my s14 a few jdm optional parts light up green that said silvia. I never got em cause I was afraid of the wiring, plus the cost was too high for me to mess em up.
Last month the 6G75 went bye bye
https://c4.staticflickr.com/9/8872/2...7be143d1_c.jpg
& now here's the Galant in its current state

Well that was quick. What's left to do to get it running
