    Only way to get rid of that CEL is to movef the O2 Sensor behind the 2nd cat, thats what I did with my exhaust when I installed my Megan Racing header...
    That ticking noise is known as "Lifter Tick". Very common for the 4G64, and can get louder after an oil change. Search 'Lifter Tick' on here to find some solutuions...

    He maybe did one, then took a pic, and then finished the other one. That's what I did when my jdm heads arrived, unwrapped one, took pic, then unwrapped the other one, lol!

    Nice job with the heads, you should look into a retrofit for HIDs.

    So i replaced my ac condensor last night and the vents on the sides blow out cold air but the center and top vent blow out hot air. I put that spray in it to recharge it but no use. Any ideas?

    Pretty noticable color difference but oh well im not plannin on keepin this bumper for long so its just so i dont c the patches from where i sanded.

    No ive just been ignorin it...im thinkin of gettin rid of this exhaust so thats wen ill have the other o2 sensor put in

    So i finally thought i found what was making that loud screeching sound. I thought it was the ac compressor that had seized so i bought a shorter belt to skip it, but as i was put the tensioner back on i snapped the bolt.



    Then i went to the junkyard to get another bolt since the two auto parts store didnt have them. While there i picked up a v6 throttle body for only $20 so it wasnt so bad, but it didnt have the iac.



    I ended up twisting the bolt i got from the junkyard then i went back to get another one from second galant that was there and in the process i twisted that one too. So i pretty much was having a bad day.

    okay so since i last updated i have figured out what was making that noise. After many trips to a shop (who i thought did good work) i ended up buying a timing belt kit. It was from http://www.timingbeltkit.com/servlet...-galant/Detail. It came with new pulleys new belts and a water pump. SO i figured that would of taken care of it. anywho long story short it didnt stop the noise, took it to another shop, tightened the tensioner. Boom fixed it.

    Nothing new with the car, im just about maintenance now until i can paint it.


    Used grease cleaner and got as much as i could. Going to buy some wire brushes and give it another good scrub.


    Interior shot.


    Need camber kit and possibly spacers?


    Swapped wheels with my girlfriend just to see how it would look. Hers are 16's so my car sits a bit lower which i dont mind at all.
