The car aint lowered too much so I wanna show hos low its gonna be Just backed the car upp a hill so the front almost touched the asphalt
Noticed how high it was, that was before i got lowering springs and got small 17" wheels with 205 tyres
ur suspension confuses me, i seen ur car look dropped, sit 4x4 style,
Now its just lowered with 35mm springs and nothing else ;) Coilovers is coming right after the winter is over :D
When I was stationed in Okinawa, Japan, they had something similar with their cars. At the time, my military pay grade/rank (E-3) didn't allow up to have cars (because the people before us fucked it all up - young bastards) but for the people that did have cars, they told me that the vehicles were only good for something like 7 to 9 years, after that, you have to recycle your car. There were also high insurance rates and you didn't have to register it per year, but a couple years at a time or something. I live in California, which probably has the most strictest vehicle laws in our country. Our insurance laws are so dumb, that you could be charged less (or more) based on which city you live, even if it was a stone's throw away , you may end up paying $50 more because you're in a different zip code (in other words, a high crime neighborhood). I guess that would make sense - the insurance company doesn't want to insure or don't want to continue to pay out if you live in a bad neighborhood where statistically more cars are broken into or stolen, however, it's not fair. Most people I would believe, wouldn't want to live in a shit-hole neighborhood if they had the means to move out.Originally Posted by ThaShiZnitH
Japan has some very strict laws about their vehicles, I believe. I don't remember what it was exactly. It's not that after 7 or 9 years you have to recycle your car.. it's that after a certain amount of years the insurance and taxes on your vehicle becomes ridiculously high and just to maintain it and having it on the road costs so much that the Japanese just auction of their vehicles to other countries .. like the US and Canada and buy new vehicles. Buying a new vehicle overcomes the costs of maintaing their aging vehicles... Thats why when you import vehicle parts, cars or engines from Japan they tend to have low KMs on them.Originally Posted by BGR

Basically it's the same concept. The cost of the insurance is so high for an "older" car, that it would be best to turn the car in and get a new one after 7 years or so. Recycle. But hell, I haven't been there in almost 20years, I'm surprised I remembered that much.
hei thomas, velkommen til "the galant center". fint a se annen norge folk fra her. jeg kom her tilbake i 12 mars 2007. fint bil.

Hey guys, a bit OT isnt it? :P
Welcome aboard! I'm still amazed whenever I see a JDM G (Vr4 or with Vr4 body parts), the lines are just perfect from bumper to bumper. And I want that steering wheel :D
very nice man.. welcome.

The lines are AALMOST perfect, im gonne get new sideskirts and some fender flares so hte bumpers lines up much better ;) I love the steering wheel aswell, one of the main reason i buyed the car The colour on the car is special as well only 5 sedans in deep black in Norway 8)Originally Posted by gtx
Very nice G man 8)
Perhaps it's me, but with the U.S. Galant, even with the JDM parts added, for some reason there is still a slight difference to the outward appearance when compared to a real JDM Galant. The conversions are tight and I'm proud of all the guys that have done the procedure if I may say. It's really cool to finally see come to fruition.Originally Posted by gtx
I'd like how the JDM A.C. climate controls look.
In Europe we got the Sport edition wich is almost the same as VR4 but without the seats in some of the VR4s, drivetrain and engine. We also got an Avance version, this is a more luxurious car with the same apperance on the outside but on the inside its leather (wich i dont like), automatic (dont like that either :P) and the equipment is the same. The climate controll is not that good but its ok :P
Heres some pics of my friends Avance
I wish my headlamps would look so good :(
This is the wing im have bought for mine! :D Just love it!!
And heres my friends Gs + mine
