ill let u guys know if i can get it cheaper. i know the owner and show with him all the time

price is so cheap i doubt it though

[ricky_db]

aren't they a vendor here?

yep

yeah that makes me wanna get new wheels and go to bags/UAS.

do it!

If that is the stiching you want, would you only send the center pieces of the seats and re-stich them back in your self, or would you just rather have someone local do it? The shipping on the pieces you want done would be extremely cheap and I can get you a pretty good price on getting that done.

i have a lead on a good place, only problem is i dont speak spanish so im going to have to take my translator lol

Looking great Ricky!

thanks means alot coming from you lol. you have any updates for yours?

Don't you eat tires when your vip?

YES, but like relax said

lol. When you're VIP, I don't think you have too much consideration for functionality/reliability.

this is true lol

This is a pretty dedicated build. COTM status right thurr

thanks and noooo not yet i still have a metric sh!t load of things to do

thanks, ordering my kit on monday.

oooooooh snap

Damn. TGC is steppin' its game up!

you know you want in on this come on and go vip lol


now for the update. i JUST finished putting on the front bags they tuck about half the tire and lay out pretty low BUT not low enough..... im not happy. and to top it all off my bag has a inside leak :( it may still be driveable (what can you expect for a e-gay buy )

pics in the AM its way to dark and my spotlight blew out

NO MORE 4x4 stance lol

i knew u and a few of the guys would see that post and jump on it. i told another member who is probably getting it as well. to my knowledge only 2kgalant has airrunner on his 8g right now. i'm still debating if i'm gonna go that route.

[99 galant]

Well if you need it done, let me know

FWD....and the inability to run 19x11.5 at -98* of camber.

[Reelax]

do it!

w/ new wheels/tires and brakes? that's another $9K+ on top of what i've spent in recent repairs (axles, motor mounts, starter, valve cover gaskets etc). since i've been modding, i've spent a grip on this car (too much already). i want to go all out but i'm hesitant since i want to want to buy another car (that i'll probably go crazy on too). decisions decisions.

[beam514]

bags can go "not low enough" ??? dang I learn something new every day haha
I wanna see these pics though!!

I say do it....if you can afford to, I guess my opinion is......get the car perfect (or close to it) and THEN move on....

That is how these cars are, you will have to do some modifications to tuck in the front like 2kGalant does.

[blue8g]

Haha well he says he wants wheels/brakes/air.....I say do it....then get another car.

[VIPtint]

anything that runs a macphearson strut will be hard to slam.

have the same scenario on our Q45. to get that to tuck more we have to swap all the suspension to custom stuff made for the nissan s13. its not hard becuase its bolt on.

i may have my custom guy raise my towers to get it a little lower. but thats a big maybe.


REELAX you need to make sacrifices man. my galant build was pretty much dead, but 1500 for AR brings it back to life real quick.

im selling my vr6 supercharged mkII golf to fund this build so it might turn out pretty gangsta



who knows i may flake on everything though haha

[ricky_db]

got ya pics. more grinding and hacking in the shocks to come

[blue8g]

Needs more low.
