    always nice to see a wrecked 4g63 put to good use cali; i've read good things so far, so i can't wait to see what you do with it. for everyone else, thanks for all the info, i really do appreciate it. although the trans is not what i'm worried about, just rear end/subframe components, which i would imagine now that either auto or manual 2g would work and i just need to match the final drive ratio to the front with new diff. internals when its all done. the car's gonna be 6a13tt/5m/awd imported, so i'll have a custom driveshaft made for connective purposes. thanks again everyone!

    I know you can use the 8g shocks and im not sure about the knuckles though, you definetly need the hubs because the stock 8g rear hubs arent hollow & splined for an axle.

    so i read through the tut on club3g last night, and i know if we fit the evo tranny in our car, we have to knotch out the subframe to get it to fit. now i know eclipse and galants are mostly the same, but he didn't mention anything about knotch the front subframe for the evo tranny to fit in the eclipse, is the eclipse front subframe different? as in it doesn't require you to knotch it out? also does it bolt right up to the galant and everything lines up? just curious thats all

    Im not sure who's tutorial you read, but the only people really sharing knowledge over there on this topic were Slava who hasnt been around in a while, Balla, Ithinkyou and BostonHatcher. Boston and Balla both have pics up of how they cut the subframe, reinforced it and then spaced the steering rack down lower. I know for a fact that you have to trim the subframe to fit the back of the bell housing (remember I have an EVO trans in my car now) and the reall cutting is to fit the transfer case. You need to cut/reinforce alot of the center area of the front subframe and also cut into the firewall on the bottom to give the transfer case vertical clearance. Boston has alot of good pics in his original thread.

    It was bostons build thread, i guess i didn't really pay attention to the subframe, i thought he just cut it out to fit the tcase and, i didn't see that he mentioned about knotching it for the evo tranny too lol. speaking of which, whats the word on the custom front subframe?
    edit: so i went back and looked at the thread, i guess he never took any pics of the front, just of the aft of the front subframe, since that was mainly the focus cuz of the tcase... bummer lol

    I sure hope more was done with that subframe. Driving a car with that in it would scare the piss out of me. If that lets go your front wheels are going anywhere they please and so is the rest of the car.

    That said, without seeing the rest of it and what was done after this picture was taken I would not duplicate it. The original fabricator may very well have added extra bracing that can't be seen in the photos.

    take a closer look. Look at the driver side of the subframe (right side in the pic) see where the top of the rack comes out, now look down, there is a "window" cut there to clear the bell housing, just below the window the subframe is notched out on the bottom

    Also.... take a closer look. Look to the bottom of the subframe, see that giant steel I-beam down there, doesnt come from the factory like that. There is an I-Beam on the front and back of the subframe welded in, trust me, that thing isnt going anywhere.

    ah ok a little more than what i saw first, but still less than what i actually thought. I think i might just go a custom tubular one for many reason though...

    Your gonna spend 1000+ to have that done with little performance gain, other than maybe a 10lb weight savings. I priced out having a local place do it here, they fab that type of stuff all the time and I was quoted 1500-2000.
