yea definetly don't want to replace a windshield but I thought it might be possible.

Anything is possible

Anything is possible

Not without major alterations/modification and I don't believe that Bryan wanted to go that far just so he can have the hood open vertically.

^^ tru dat

Your right. I need a new shell. Mine has an accident under its belt

The only way I can think to very easily make the Galant hood open that far would be to make slide towards the front of the car when you first open it to give some gap between the hood and the windshield. Either that or a double hinge that will lift the hood up as it opens, to make the clearance.

Don't forget that the hood has pointy edges by the top fender area and those will hit the frame if it goes vertical which will damage the hood.

No real updates. Been working like crazy with no time to do anything.

Projectors are here. Ordered halos too.

Big plans coming soon. If everything goes as well as I hope then I'm gonna have some major updates next month.

Haven't done much lately. I decided to make my own ground straps in hope to fix my misfiring issue.



I also ordered gas shocks for the hood. Got ones that uses hood hinge and fender bolt to mount so no drilling and no riveting. Ill post pics once I get them.

I hate to be a bother, but could you post a little more in-depth about this mod? It sounds like a solid idea, and I'd really like to do it.
And I'm ordering a set of those shocks, that looks cool as hell.
Also, mmmm beige.

There isn't much to it really. Buy some 8ga wire and some copper terminals. Measure the length of each wire to your desired location then cut them. Either crimp the terminals or solder them. And heat shrink them. Different diameter terminals for different bolts.

There are a bunch of threads if u search Google that show best spots to install them. The most important is the alternator to firewall. I also added one on the tranny and on the name manifold and one on the valve cover.

Emusa 38mm wastegate. Bought this for my volvo but sold that and kept this along with some ss lines and AN fittings.

Nice!!!

[spdracr]

did lil more work, ditched the idea of instlling the dsm 450cc injectors cuz i didnt wanna splice and wire the resistor box. got me a set of wrx 440cc injectors and ordered new seals for them.



if u are installing the evo fuel rail then u need to get shorted bolts. the original bolts are m8x2.25" i bought 1.75" and those were still long but they worked so i say get 1.5"

oh and i changed the engine bay color once again but this is the last time i change it lol



i didn't snap any pics of the rail installed, i will next time im working on it

turbo and manifold and wastegate installed. radiator fan removed. ordered a slim fan

[CHICAGO_ONE]

That manifold looks so nice

That manifold looks so nice

[greddy]

Somehow I'm gonna make the stock evo one work for now until I'm able to make a custom one.
