Ok so I’ve seen everyone else has a build thread and decided I might as well give it a go. Firstly I bought the car 2 years and a few months ago after totally my last one (1996 passat).

I was starting to get into cars more and looking for something that would stand out. After not getting the Supra I was looking at I went with the Galant. It was a really pretty silver color with some nice 18” chrome rims on it but the thing that really drew me in was the airbag suspension. At the time fast and the furious, need for speed, and midnight club were the extent of my knowledge on cars so you can imagine why I wanted it so much XD

so one of the things I first did, having been a huge gamer car guy I started buying vinyls!
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...ior/vinyl1.jpg
and I loved the look of the RX-7 from NFS Carbon so I tried making a plan for the galant's future (on a skyline in midnight club) no worries, I don't wanna go with that idea any more!!!
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...ior/vinyl2.jpg
a buddy of mine and I sat down in a waffle house till like 4am one day talking cars and girls and future stuff and came up with a plan for a new hood a few years back
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rior/hood1.jpghttp://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rior/hood2.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rior/hood4.jpg
(that's the good hood in the background)

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rior/hood7.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rior/hood8.jpg
still pretty rough when I left it last but not going with the split hood idea any more...wanted to be unique but can't figure out a good way to make the middle work with a way im happy with. gonna grab another one and keep the same design, just a solid hood
picked up a spoiler on ebay, not sure if I like it yet or not. may sell it and go with an evo style one later. its not on the car yet, sitting with a crap ton of other parts in my room
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...r/spoiler1.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...r/spoiler2.jpg
I came across this picture a few months ago and instantly fell in love!
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...or/bumper1.jpg
after a lot of searching found one other car with a similar style and started that project
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...or/bumper2.jpg
picked up a lancer bumper online for pretty cheap, evo bumpers were running like $600+ and im not about to spend that much $ on a project that I may or may not f@%k up
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...or/bumper3.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...or/bumper4.jpg
was def. too wide and tall so start the fabricating
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...or/bumper5.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...or/Bumper6.jpg
just went and got another oe galant bumper to mount the lancer one on. gonna use the oe bumper for mounting points, fiberglass the lancer one onto it then cut out anything that doesn't look right and such.
over winter break (Dec/Jan) I decided it would be a GREAT idea to install a HO alternator, new batteries, big 3 upgrade, etc.
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...r/Battery1.jpg
first had to move the nitrous solenoids
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...r/battery2.jpg
now for all the parts that are going in:
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...r/battery8.jpg
and what project wouldn't be complete without donating your blood to the car gods!
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...r/battery7.jpg
test fitting for the new location
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...r/battery3.jpg
couple welds and some mounting stuff later and
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...r/battery4.jpg
voiala! no clue how to spell that word lol
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...r/battery5.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...r/battery6.jpg
now of course the reason for all the electrical, on the left my buddies fosgate P1, middle my old P3, and the new big boy 13w7

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rior/subs3.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rior/subs4.jpg
had some boss subs for a bit and initially started with some polk audio 8" too
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rior/subs1.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rior/subs6.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rior/subs7.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rior/subs8.jpg
going for a built in look, not even close to finishing as that was a year ago XD put it on hold during school
made a dual volt meter in case I ever wanna swap to deep cycle down the road, not like it hurts with them wired together now anyway
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...r/battery9.png
two of these and an old gauge cut apart
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/.../battery10.jpg
since im running two amps and don't always want all 3 subs at all times I put in a nifty switch that lets you toggle between 1/2/both/off
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...terior/av1.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...terior/av2.jpg
and added in the avi plugs for my aux cable/xbox setup (used to be ps2)
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...terior/av3.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...terior/av4.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...terior/ps2.jpg
and yes that is absolutely NFS underground 2! forgot how crap the graphics were though!!!
very very first thing I ever did with the damn car upkeep/engine wise was change the damn spark plugs...not a good first project thing when you haven't done much stuff like that but got it handled just fine...except I found out after it was all back together we pulled a wire for one of the injectors and then spent the next 3 hours trying to solder it back together (way too long but had never done anything like that before!)
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...nce/plugs2.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...nce/plugs1.jpg
had a psi gauge that went bad and confused the shit out of me
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...e/airbags1.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...e/airbags2.jpg
then I saw this little bastard!
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...e/airbags3.jpg
open highways are the best
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rmance/120.jpg
that was before the nitrous though
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...e/nitrous1.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...e/nitrous2.jpg
again fast and furious influence here...
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...e/nitrous3.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...e/nitrous4.jpg
cut out the cruise for it for those wondering how that works with clockspring
realized I never used the nitrous and stumbled across this on ebay after searching forever on possible FI setups...what perfect timing ^.^
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...ance/ripp1.jpg
still cheaper than any vortech v5 ive ever found too
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...ance/ripp2.jpg
felt like Christmas that night
cooling mist methanol injection because there is no space for an intercooler anywhere -.-
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...ance/ripp9.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...ontrolarm1.jpg
tried to do an alignment and broke the toe adjustment bolt...had to cut the control arm out and replace it to get her running again
started making a new gauge holder after an idea I saw on an eclipse
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...ance/ripp6.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...ance/ripp3.jpg
testing the visibility

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...ance/ripp7.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...ance/ripp8.jpg
few extra gauges lying around I put in just to test em out...still gotta buy the gauges later though (oil pressure and fuel pressure) for when I go FI
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...e/PSIGauge.jpg
recently discovered this is why my airbags leak...the psi kill switch is like cracked or something in the back so I have a new one on the way
I know this is in no order exactly but, being as I did this post all at once with pictures scattered across several files and devices, I hope this at least catches anyone interested up on what I've got going on :icon_cool:
and here are the new rims I threw on just today! only on the back because the front wears something terrible...fixing the airbag leak then I can get an alignment done elsewhere
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rior/rims1.jpg
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rior/Rims2.jpg
I think they are a little small 205/50/16 but I have a lot more tread now than I did with the 18's so it will do for a while
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/...rior/Rims3.jpg
repainted the stealies too and I think they look kick nasty :044:
