Reply With QuoteNice read Reelax. Very nice transition from stock to what you have now. It's amazing to see your car as it transformed over the years. I haven't really done much but it amazes me how mine has changed.
i know huh. rice rice baby! but to my defense on the cut springs... there was no other option since there were no springs even made for the eclipse yet, let alone the galant. my H&R set was pre-production and the next set that was released was EIBACH which were less aggressive (less of a drop). when real coilovers became available i jumped on it.Originally Posted by qnz
yeah it was pretty dangerous back then. i don't miss the smell of gasonline all the time though, it used to give me a headache! it got so bad sometimes that people told me they could smell the fumes inside cars that were following me on the street!
only thing i could do w/o spending stupid money is redo my ICE. anything else i would undertake at this point would involve ALOT. what else could i do beside major performance or major body mods and new wheels/brakes? every project i could start would affect other parts on the car making it spiral way out of control instantaneously. actually i'm kinda afraid to do anything else to it at this point... it would just involve so much more than any minor tweek! also, maintenance is allready getting expensive since this is a 10 year old car and things are starting to break in bunches.
last i checked the company stopped doing business years ago. their website is now a generic page and i haven't seen another company make them... plus they were around $650 when i got them in 2001-2002... nobody pays anywhere near that much for an HID conversion kit anymore.

Back in the day is what I'll say..., this has and always will be one of the nicest Galants, Mitsubishi's, or modified cars period.
Instead of getting ready for work, I read this hahahah. Nice write up though and interesting progression of the G

I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.
truly an incredible journey; i have been honored to see this car in person many times and the pictures don't really do it justice... one of the best Galants ever built... much respect and congrats R
thanks for the love guys!
Always a pleasure seeing your work bro!!

thanks again guys... i may be motivated to do a little more to the car soon. been planning out different projects to see what i would need and where i would source parts.
Dude...all that work...all that attention to detail and you have a factory tape deck with a crooked pocket in your dash? just sayin...
beautiful job on the car man...
His car is going to to violate your car just for saying that
Keep your comments to yourself. Reelax has done an incredible job in pioneering modding 8th gen USDM Galants. Negative rep given.
If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.
x2. I want to see him get out of that neg rep black hole.
Reelax this is my 3rd time reading this and still am amazed. Your car is extremely clean and I hope that once I start putting some money in mine it cleans up as well.
Why not consider a 5-speed swap?
^ i dont think he drives it enough to do it.
was making room for the double din DVD HU. notice the pocket and the HVAC controls are swapped and the sunroof switch is next to the deck, just never got around to putting in the DVD head since i was deciding on either that or a carputer. there's also about 1500W RMS supporting the stock head through a independent crossover and 2 amps, so the head unit is actually not that important and can be swapped at any time.
this car will never be finished, but again, any project i would do on it now would cost thousands... there are no "small" tweaks left to do on it right now.
