m-rod's 99 GTZ

[Mattt]

I'm waiting for you to do it on Justin's tune. That way I know I'm good to do it on my 75 ;)

[M-Rod]

thanks Jared! the items I've posted so far will definitely be installed ASAP when I get the car back home from hibernation. by late summer, my goal is a custom set of cams. there is something in the works and I'm excited for results. are you planning a trip out this way towards the end of summer? I'm sure map would be stoked to see your car. plus they opened up their new location since moving recently and its supposed to be even more impressive.

guzm4n, take a trip up here sometime. there are so many awesome events throughout the summer that are worth checking out. not to mention a certain 6g75 galant. one ride would be enough to convince anybody.

mattttttttttttt, when are you coming to town? Justin tells me I may have some fuel system upgrading to do based off what he noticed with your car. it appears the 75 with 305cc injectors starts to peg the limits of the factory fuel pump. in a few weeks when I get the car back and the new parts all come together, we'll keep you posted as to how the new tune works out.

yeah bro! they don't know it yet, but they are going to dyno the g lol. i suppose i should email them... if everything goes to plan we need to have a meet out there. I need to hang otu with some fellow g owners

[Guzm4n]

I want to take a trip up there, but my parents own a restaurant & they always want me helping them out so I don't get to get out a lot. Still only 17 so my mom still worries about me, especially when I go long distances. Hopefully I can convince them this year.

I hope not, once we nail this tune it's going to the dyno. If all goes well I may be doing no2... maybe some ARP mains. I wanna time my arrival in the MN for Alex's 75 swap. Maybe late May if all goes well.

[M-Rod]

Jared that will be awesome. I can't wait, and I would like to attend if possible to see how it does.

guz I keep forgetting you're one of the younger members. its completely understandable about not being able to just up and leave for a four hour trip. if you do get the chance, you'll have a blast. we have a pretty solid group of 8g/3g's

Matt are you only replacing the main bolts with studs? I kick around the idea from time to time but I'm afraid of disrupting the current clearances if they were to torque differently or slightly tweak the main cap. but I do look forward to your trip. are you flying or driving?

[Silvertune]

Guz you should get on club3g MN (facebook group), I'll let you in. We need some better youthful members to offset the tards in there now. Besides, moms are always more willing to let you drive when they know you'll be amongst good people.

[M-Rod]

Small update today. 2 small but important items arrived.

First being the pair of front stop tech stainless brake lines to match the rear I recently purchased.


Second is a bit more exciting. Ingalls ETD. Together with my prothanes it should be a fairly solid fit for my powerplant.

[deeznutz]

I have the same lines really nice I'm also a lil jelly over the torque damper where and how much?

[M-Rod]

Good to know. I stumbled onto a couple good deals to put the front and rear lines together which is fine with me to replace the original 14 year- old brake hoses.

You would never believe the deal on the Stiffy. $75 shipped from a 3G partout.

[Guzm4n]

Matt - well I think I might not be able to this year cause my parents are starting to plan for my sister's quinceanera (big Mexican party for when a girl turns 15, kinda of like a sweet 16). Stiffy for $75, nice!

Silvertune - I'll join once I can get my Facebook to work

[M-Rod]

One of these years Guzm4n. I'll be looking forward to it.

So I felt like sharing a little love with the Eclipse and decided to do the engine mounts a temporary favor until the G comes back from storage.


And I'm not sure if I ever shared a picture of the whole car, but here it is. My side-action ;)

[Silvertune]

Silvertune is appalled! lololol

[M-Rod]

Silvertune is appalled! lololol

Unbelievable.

[polishmafia]

Unbelievable.

Agreed.

[Silvertune]

That car needs urethane mounts. :)

[M-Rod]

And it will get some this Summer.

Back to the Galant. My rear rotors today for the Brembo setup. They are from R1Concepts.


Also bought a set of pads for the rear. I will be using Raybestos Premium Semi-Metallic. I except these should last a few years with no issue.


Last but not least, new apparel from the club3G group buy.

[8thLS6]

The 3g is clean. Nice score on the and ingalls brakes

[Neo8G]

Can you give us some info on the custom cams?

[M-Rod]

Thanks 8thls!

Jerry, I'll post more specifics once they're in and known to be effective. I'm hoping to have something to share very soon. I bring the car back from storage tomorrow, so my progress will be accelerated greatly.
