Galantman03's 8G Build

[Galantman03]

Oh wow, Didnt know you bought them back then! LOL!
You shouldve painted the flares when you painted everything else to ensure the color will be the same. When you paint parts at different times it doesnt always come out the same. Its not too late, I would paint them ASAP just to get it out of the way. That way you have a better chance of it not being a different shade of silver than the rest of the parts...

True, but I'm not to worried about it. It should all be really close since I have a whole quart left, so the shade should be the same, just gotta make sure I set the gun up right lol... I'm really thinking about painting the whole car.. but not myself as of right now, but who knows...

so what are your plans with the "secret" part i sent you hahaha

lol its for me secret project on A g

[Galantman03]

your time will come...

[Galantman03]

Hey, are the turn signals and hazards on the same fuse? I haven't looked yet, but today I noticed I don't have hazards.

[Galantman03]

Alrighty then.... Its time for some pics.... But is everybodys seibon hood fit good? Cuz mine rises right at the strut towers, because they didn't indent it like the stock oem metal hood. It pisses me off, why can't people make a USDM cabon hood ya know?
Other than that no other complaints... It looks good I think












And I shall leave you with this...

That last pic, thats the underbody of your car? My stock 8g tank doesnt look anything like that.

DO IT!

Holy cow... stock exhaust is a PITA to get off... I ended up just cutting it in 4 sections, with a skill saw, with a metal cutting blade got it out, and then began cutting on the stock cat, so I could bolt up the exhaust... I had to grind the bolts smooth on the cat, and drill it out.. I broke 5 bits doing it. not fun, but its in, pics will be later But I have a couple ?s. How many turbo cars are running a cat? if I'm running a wideband, do I need the stock o2 sensors installed?

[Galantman03]

I'm gonna have to some how fix the exhuast... Sounds great though

[mrg7243]

ah the good ald days where the can has that bright polish to it. Give it a few months and no matter how much you polish it will have a light bronw tinge to the can, the tip polishes right up.

And i am going to steal your car it is too clean. Wanna trade?

[Corey2kG]

What do you mean by fix the exhaust? How it lines up? Do what I did, get a piece of SS rod and make your own rear hanger and then use a BFH to fold up the edge of the rear body behind the bumper, it will allow you to move the muffler up about 1.5" so it sits more in the cutout.
