IcedoutGalant's Build/Upgrade Thread..

[IceDouTGaLanT]

yeah thats a good idea reelax, might have to think about that option also. Thanks ivory yeah lucky it wasn't to big of a mix up, like them sending me wrong rotors or something. I'll call them tomorrow to get the pads exchanged and pop them in.

Next step is, exhaust upgrade hopefully find some deals by xmas

[bmaddock]

Your car is so sweet! I agree with reelax on the calipers too.

[02redgalant]

hey iced what adapter did you use for the rear lines?

[IceDouTGaLanT]

You'll need two of them just for rear, i seen your buying them from FS section, the front fit no issue

PepBoys:
BL308 <- Part #
Brake Line 3/16x8"
$2.59 Each

Buy the Bleeder Kt also, $6.99

[02redgalant]

yea got the bleeder already... cool thanks man!

[spdracr]

those lines that they shipped to him were the rear drum lines since both ends are females rather than one end male and the other female

thes good car

[Gtorque]

great job man it looks great...ever think about doing the evo caliper upgrade?

[IceDouTGaLanT]

i was going to do the evo caliper & rotors swap, but my wheels wont clear them. So i decided not to go that route, lol im not ditching my wheels since i paid nearly 3K for them. The cars a daily driver, so im happy with this setup much better braking then drums & single piston caliper for sure.

i think reelaxs idea about the Black w/ gold lettering would look much better. you have a nice car all around tho man.

[SkylineG1]

Keep it coming...

[blkg01]

I've always loved your G. One of a kind. Great work Ron! :)

[RedGalant2k1]

Nice, did you weight the rear drum parts to see the difference and any possible weight reduction? And be careful about your factory spare, it won't clear the dual piston caliper, you will either need a full size wheel, or a mini-spare from a dual piston 8G Galant.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

No i didn't weigh the rear drum i wish i didn't throw them away, could of posted for you guys. Yeah i already know about the spare, from mrjaydeeone post i have my oem tires and my old giovanna wheels incase something happens. But thanks for the info!

Good, glad you already knew about it. Too bad you don't have the drum setup, I don't think it weighs that much different though, but it would be interesting nonetheless.
