    haha thanks guys

    got some more new parts in the mail, thanks to Stealthtt24, here's GSX_TC's Galant VR4 start up - YouTube a video of the start up, i love the way the FP2 Cams sounds }:D

    an AFCO radiator and Spal Fan, this fixed my overheating problem thank god








    Got a few more things to add onto her exterior =)

    JDM rear bumper came in, at first i didnt like the JDM rear bumper but i have to admit, it kinda grew on me. plus now i have a nice provision for a decent twin tip exhaust. I paid a bit more to have it shipped unfolded because i didnt want to have to deal with using a heat gun again and heating the edges back to its original form. anyways enough of my babbling here are the pics.







    Even came with all the brackets, which was pretty sweet




    Also got my Rain guards in, these flew in from BangKok! been lookin for these for a while.
