i was planning on getting new wheels and brakes but this really is tempting.
Those can wait......the Volks are beautiful.Quote:

If that is the stiching you want, would you only send the center pieces of the seats and re-stich them back in your self, or would you just rather have someone local do it? The shipping on the pieces you want done would be extremely cheap and I can get you a pretty good price on getting that done.
u mean the VR-G update/facelift bumper? or is there a bumper that is specific to european galants?Quote:

that is the VRG update... it was available in almost every market except north america... so it's not strictly a "euro" bumper... JDM/worldspec would b more accurate.Quote:

Looking great Ricky!
Don't you eat tires when your vip?
lol. When you're VIP, I don't think you have too much consideration for functionality/reliability.Quote:

This is a pretty dedicated build. COTM status right thurr
once it's done it should definitely be in the running.Quote:

pics in the AM its way to dark and my spotlight blew out
NO MORE 4x4 stance lol
i knew u and a few of the guys would see that post and jump on it. i told another member who is probably getting it as well. to my knowledge only 2kgalant has airrunner on his 8g right now. i'm still debating if i'm gonna go that route.Quote:

I say do it....if you can afford to, I guess my opinion is......get the car perfect (or close to it) and THEN move on....Quote:

have the same scenario on our Q45. to get that to tuck more we have to swap all the suspension to custom stuff made for the nissan s13. its not hard becuase its bolt on.
i may have my custom guy raise my towers to get it a little lower. but thats a big maybe.
REELAX you need to make sacrifices man. my galant build was pretty much dead, but 1500 for AR brings it back to life real quick.
im selling my vr6 supercharged mkII golf to fund this build so it might turn out pretty gangsta
who knows i may flake on everything though haha
got ya pics. more grinding and hacking in the shocks to come
