mrg7243's 2001 galant build

[mrg7243]

So i have been busy the past week or so, and with my internet down haven't been able to post pics.





my tinted tails, i will get a camera and get better pics one on these days

i did the ashtray when i first got the car, i was cleaning it with some bleach and the grey came off and it was black underneath, i just got a black outlet cover, though i will get a better one that isn't part melted when i find one

black e-brake handle off a avenger

i got a trunk tray!!!!!!!! i was so excited when i found on in a 94 galant.

my friend just gave me this, expensive tach for free, it is not going in unless the car goes 5 speed turbo, even then it might not i just couldn't find a spot where it flowed well with the dash or interior.

Update or fail haha!!!!

Looking good. I like that trunk tray. My cardboard trunk floor is bowed so bad that it's not funny.

Lookin' good bro... Keep it up. I love the silver Gs ;]

Why dont you sell the tach? a lot of V8 guys still use them. There is no point for it in the Galant considering even the DE has a tachometer stock.

yeah yeah yeah, i have some pictures around from my recent stuff, though not much worth mentioning.

i love it, not for it not warping, but for the storage compartment. Ill keep an eye out for another.

Thanks man, silver Gs FTW

honestly have considered it, there isnt a spot where it flows with the dash or anywhere. I agree there is no point, i am just hanging onto it 1. as a self decoration haha, and 2. if i stumble upon a project that i could use it for.

Matt it doesn't matter what it is I post just about everything I do to mine lol even my alignment lol

[mrg7243]

Alright well here it goes, I recently gutted the top cat(to cheap to buy legit headers). Honestly wasnt really doing it for performance, just bored that day, well that turned into a disaster, the studs on the stock manifold stripped out so i had to drill them out. The drill bit kept walking on the drill press so the holes were huge and mis-shaped. I dealt with exhaust leak after exhaust leak there. I finally got the fixed, then developed a CEL for the top o2 sensor, so i put a mechanical o2 sensor simulator there. Then developed a exhaust leak at the downpipe section, so it was throwing another code, and i just fixed that leak friday. Since i hate cel and exhaust leaks, i put another o2 sensor simultaor on the bottom o2 sensor if another leak happens i dont have to look at it only hear it. Well so gutting the cat was worth it, not Hp gain cause i doubt there was any but, it sounds better, less rasp its deeper, and sound throatier. I have picts somewhere of when i gutted the cat just cant find them right now. Other than that i washed it friday, oil change and lifetime alignment. Oh i also got a water temp and oil pressure gauge from bronxbomr for a trade, i just have to get the sensors now, but i wiried up the lights, just got to get a bulb for the oil. And i am going to have to make a plate for the gauges. Like i said not much worth mentioning. Now for the pictures.

Lookin good Matt. You should do the grille mod lol.

[mrg7243]

yeah but i dont have the mesh or any paint, i want to color match it to the car, i found the color code in spray paint but its 12 dollars for the can and 14 for the clearcoat to match it

Dude you can get the mesh at Home Depot for like 3 bucks n I think you can get it all in one can though. Besides the paint that mod is very cheap. I always have black paint on hand for some reason haha.

[mrg7243]

i dont have any black paint on hand right now, i could get the mesh, but the grill would look half assed untill i painted it haha

[Corey2kG]

Send me a grille I'll do it for you lol. N a couple bucks for supplies lol.

[mrg7243]

i could but the price of shipping it back and forth would be the same as the paint hahah

[Corey2kG]

So I guess your stuck lol.

[mrg7243]

yeah i am i need a intake manifold before i do anything else though, i supposed a job would help me hahah

Junkyard? I got one off of ebay... Works perfectly. Ran me $40 shipped

[mrg7243]

I am going to get the outalnder, since i plan on turboing i would rather have a cast manifold that the flismy stocker. Plus i can port match it to my v6 TB

[DTP]

Oh sweet, that sounds sick. Lemme know how it works... Do a tutorial :]

[mrg7243]

There is a tut on here on how to do the outalnder, and to port match is simple
