It was feburary of 2003 and my wife (girlfriend at the time) was about to give birth to our first child. I was driving her parents old 87 acura legend with no AC, that wasnt going to cut it with a newborn on the way. A coworkers dad worked at a mitsubishi dealership. i researched different mitsubishi's before i went to see him, i had it narrowed down between a mirage, lancer or galant (had to be 4 doors). While strolling the lot the wife spotted what is now our galant because of its color blue. we took it for a spin and i fell in love with it right away. i was impressed by the throttle response over the legend as well as the interior. 8 long hours later i was taking her home. didnt even bother with looking at the mirage or lancer.
first pic was jan/04
less than a month after this picture was taken i was involved in an accident
thank fully no one was hurt
2-3 months and $1k later and i had her back. it wasnt until it was in the shop getting repaired was when i was bitten by the "bug"
unfortunately the bug was the rice bug.
you all can blame pedro (cencee) for selling me the decal
crome tails off ebay
17'' white zenkies from local shop
and the famous cleared corners.
i took a curb kind of hard doing a u turn in the rain, badily damaged passengers side, cracked the rim as a matter of fact. couldnt keep air in any tire.
at the same time another LV member (Len -screen name escapes me) was selling his rims and tires
18'' speedy vertec VR5, also added the billet grill and EGR sunvisor. ~sigh and yes superman decals on fog lights~
well i guess it was the feeling of the rims on the galant, everything didnt seem to match, i.e. headlights, tails and stripe. so i got rid of/replaced them
to this day i believe im the first 20-03 with oem bumper and JDM headlights. added superman symbol to the billet grill, 2nd gen tails, JDM Side markers and CF evo hood and eibach springs to finish my new look.
