beam514's 99 Galant: 3.5L Swap

NO dont mess with that. Is manual. adjusting the TPS on the TB. you move it to the left slowly. Open evoscan with engine off and you adjust the TPS and see the % on the evoscan go up and down. small adjustment. Drive the car and see how she feels. If the idle is good no movement than you all good. if is a little jumpy move it back a little.

Cool thanks for the OEM readings.

True story, the purple made my heart skip a beat! Looking good, bruh!

I just took some videos, but it's damn hard to get a video of the speedo while you're trying to hold the steering wheel with one hand, and shifting with the other lol. I don't think they're worth posting but maybe I will anyway.

Also, a bunch of 5 year old girls did a double take and then complimented my wheels when they saw me. LOL better than a "free candy" van I guess?

he has PURPLE WHEEELSSSS WHAT A COOL CAR

Are they purple or maroon? Its hard to tell in some shades they look purple in others they look redish.

**Blue8g** · 06-17-2011, 09:48 PM

They're purple, but pink in sunlight.

Is dat right?

some pics of the lovely product I received (sans tires)

I should put LED's behind my wheels.. lol jk

just barely poking the tire:

my "stretch"

and my current project, slight wire tuck:

Before:

Now, lol:

What are your plans with the harness? did you fender roll the rear?

**Rach3T8G** · 06-21-2011, 10:11 AM

^ Wire tuck

**IVORY_G** · 06-21-2011, 02:00 PM

I like the color, but something is just not tying it together IMO but IDK what. I think maybe they'd look better if they were 18"s and if you were lower. Or maybe going lower will help bring it together a lil more...

Cleaning up some wiring. I didn't roll the rear fenders, no need to. The tires just barely clear when the shock is compressed. I don't like the look of rolled fenders for some reason. Makes the car look less sturdy.

Say what you will, but I love these wheels lol. If I could go lower, I would. I live in two pretty hilly areas with the worst driveways though. These Progress springs have nearly the biggest drop for drop springs, but the AGXs raised up the car a bit. 3 finger gap (skinny fingers) up front, 1 finger out back.

EDIT: the gap is now 3 up front, 1 out back. The AGX didn't raise it that much LOL. It was 2 up front with the stock struts

**Isaurio** · 06-21-2011, 03:45 PM

X2 on the AGX same here. I had to fender roled mine since i'm using the G35 Rims and Brembos.

**4g63lover** · 06-21-2011, 07:33 PM

I get the same reaction from twelve year olds about the blue wheels. Though, I feel I am in need of some more mature wheels. lol

**beam514** · 07-01-2011, 03:31 PM

forgot to post the most "recent" pic of my "wire tuck"

I haven't taken a finished picture yet cause.. well I'm lazy. lol. It's pretty much just like that but with the intake on and the wiring in wiring loom.

Little road trip to my house in SLO. I'm gonna call it a DD, might as well use it as one, right??

Ouch:

Started my wideband install:

Then proceeded to accidentally break the DB9 connector while attempting to solder wires to it..

Mock up of my Erebuni 174 sideskirts.. I know I know I need to get rid of the damn holes. I don't think I can do them in time for MOD, but they will be semi-gloss black when done, to match the front lip.

and one final pic of the car sitting on the hill:
