2003 GTZ from Cinci Area

Hey guys! I've been here lurking for a bit, so I finally decided to make an account. (I'm not even sure but I might have had an account here like half a decade ago???) This is my 2003 Galant GTZ, 80k miles.

It may be hard to see from the picture but there is some rust behind rear drivers side wheel, so I am having the panel replaced in 2 weeks. I've been going over the car with a fine tooth comb, trying to keep it as new as I can, and really taking care of it since I got it 6-7 years ago. I am very happy with this car, and plan on keeping it for years to come. I do want to change a few things about it, but best to deliver on my promise than plan them all out in my intro post.

The reason the paint is not clearcoat-craze madness is because I dropped a new paint job on her a few back, not some photo trickery. Its a very clean car.

I changed the timing belt at 72k miles, and redid a ton of things on the car to keep things maintained and running strong. Probably some things that didn't need fixing, but I fixed them anyway.

This summer I have plans to really get under the car and make everything as clean as possible under the car.

Here is a clip from the exhaust (which is just really a muffler swap to a flowmaster)

I'm religious about fluid changes and maintenance stuff being perfect, and one thing that is bothering me is that my seatbelt scratched my front window tint, and so I have to get that replaced soon also. Hmm...what else does one say? I guess that wraps up my cars intro post :) Hope to hear back!

Man you guys are so awesome hahah. I really appreciate the kind words. I'll have to see if anyone is doing a meet or something near southern ohio area. I'll take a look around the forums and see. I've never quite been able to ascertain if this area had enough people.
