My "JDM"Galant G8 Sport Edition

[LudviG]

r u serious? i rather get the ones with the LOGO for the same price!

Agree, thats why i have the original ones myself :)

Audio system update.
I got most of the things i need before i rebuild the trunk now. Only missing some covers on the back of the taillights and on the side. When i get those im gonna paint all the gray carpet black and rebuild the floor and isolate the wheel well and lay carpet down there. Spare wheel i dont have use for since im on 18" wheels.

PhoenixGold X4000 800rms watts 4ch, This is runnin the 2channel front sett and the woofer.

The wires are gonna be hidden when done :)

Im gonna make a shelf on the left and right side on the woofer box and the woofer is gonna be aligned and not tilted like on the pic :P


And some other updates:
I bought a heat shield to protect the air filter from water and dirt



And i removed the SRS warning light bulb since the system is ok :P

[ShiZnitH]

Ive got a new set of lightbulbs since the right one from my last was gone.
Heres a regular Osram bulb that i use when the good ones get broken


and heres the new set in

Its regular H7 55w bulbs with gas and blue glass.


I need to get my hands on regular EU spec heads and take out the reflectors change em with the JDM reflectors (is that the right word?)
The reflectors inside the JDM heads are lighting up the wrong side since the drive on the wrong side in Japan. For now ive adjusted the left one down so it wont bother oncoming vehicles
Im gonne use Meguiars plastic cover repair kit and fix up the plastic glass. Scratches everywhere :P

And here is my new background on my laptop and PS3 :)

Not much activity in this thread but im postin anyways :P
I might buy a new double DIN DVD/Nav player, its brand new and only test fitted once in a Saab.
It has:
- Bluetooth handsfree/music streaming
- MP3/WMA player
- DVD Player
- Navigation
- iPod/USB/SD music playback


But poor audio quality and complicated cd menu does make me think twice.
Perhaps i should buy a Pioneer or Alpine double DIN player and get a proper one.
I coulnd even adjust the subbwoofer level on this one.
The screen itself is good and audio when watching DVD is good. But thats about it. Its cheap but....

[LudviG]

I would say: get a proper one. The things you are mentioning will just be a pain in the ass later and you will regret!

[ShiZnitH]

Yup And im noticing it more today. When driving while "watching" a movie a can hear the noise from the alternator when reving! FFS.

[mrg7243]

tsk tsk you shouldnt be watching a movie while driving haha

[ShiZnitH]

LoL Shh :P I got passengers ;)

[ShiZnitH]

Not much to update besides that i rebuilded my one-piece heads to lhd.



RHD and LHD reflectors are praticly the same but lights up the road diffrent.

I might cutsomize em so i can use mye adjuster motor sp i can adjust the headlights from the inside of the G again. In Japan this isn required like it is in Europe.


I need to make a identical hole on the one piece like the one on the upper housing




The adjuster :)

[ShiZnitH]

They are from the same headlights thats stock on my G.
If u search on ebay germany u might find some.

[IVORY_G]

Nice, I need to do this with my heads, or just do a projector retrofit, IDK...

It so better to drive with em now when the lighting is correct :)

Got my new tails from Taiwan

Old tinted and dirty vs. brand new


Both installed


We discovered that these tails from AutoDepoLights E-Bay store are not original tails but replicas. The original is made by Koito and these had no branding on them or parts number from MMC.
But these looks better with a diffrent style when the lights are on

Taiwan fake tails


Koito tails

[99galantES]

wait so the one on the right is the original and the ones on the left are replicas i have the ones on the right and wondered why others lid up more

[ShiZnitH]

These are fakes from Tawian with bigger area with light


These are stock 3rd gen tails thats stock on EU/JDM Galants, produced på Koito Japan


I also noticed that the glass on the Taiwan tails are thinner aswell but they fits just as good as the stock ones :)

[99galantES]

the whole time i was thinking there was something wrong with mine lol

[ShiZnitH]

LoL :)
I love the new looks with the diffrent lighting :) Cant w8 to get the fender painted and the bumper fixed so i can take some new updated pro-pictures of the G :)

[99galantES]

i like the new ones too but are the flares oem? im getting the old style front bumper soon just need the middle bottom piece

[ShiZnitH]

Jupp :)
