    So last week I was able to make some extra money, but instead of finishing off the Brembo swap (I know, I know, Alex I'm taking forever, haha), I've decided to do something else & here's a teaser:

    Thanks! I wished Mitsubishi made manual v6 Galants from the factory. I have people telling me that they didn't know Galants came in manual, I tell them they're right that they don't & they just give me this funny look, lol!

    So in about two weeks I'm going to get a week off from school & I'll be able to do some testing on the car. Also going to get a new sway bar installed, the one I have now isn't connected to anything cause the end links broke. & I also thought I should probably replace it since it's cracked, which is why I bought a new one.

    Guzm4n's 8G Build

    Did some front suspension work



    New OEM GTZ control arms with Prothane bushings


    The front end links ended up breaking the pliers


    So I took out the dremel


    & BAM new Moog end links!


    Also front Prothane sway bar bushings


    Still need to put on my rear ST sway bar & kartboy end links

    I've never seen big channel locks break like that, that's crazy! Hopefully I'll be following in your footsteps soon doing the same thing to mine.

    Finally got my Prothane engine mounts in & boy did I need new mounts! The front stock mount was totally done for, came apart when it was taken out:


    & new mounts in, didn't take pics of all of them but you get the picture:




    and of course the big bolt for the front mount:


    ST rear sway bar and kartboy end links:


    closer pic of the end links:


    After all this was done to it, it wouldn't start because the starter finally gave out on me. So $130 and 2 days later it started again. Here's the most recent picture of it:


    I've been working on this for awhile now, I know it isn't as good as some of the other guys on here that make these but hey at least I tried, haha! Still needs a little bit more sanding & then I'll paint it to match the rest of my interior trim:
