Now the fun begins, its coming out of storage! Hey btw, I won't need a pic of the bumper to show where you made the cuts for the muffler. Went with a diff muffler. I'll let you know the results when it's installed. Fingers cross for atleast a decently clean sound lol

Today officially marked day number one for my car season. It started as a simple trip 3 hours north to pick up the car and a set of wheels, but of course since a good portion of snow is melted near home it wouldn't be that way up north.



Luckily, we only had to shovel 1/3 of the driveway before paying a guy $40 to plow the rest with his truck.

And at long last, as the sun was preparing to set, the car was parked in a garage where magic happens tucked in and ready for some action next to Silvertune's Eclipse.

Aw shit now! No surprises, she rode fine?

[M-Rod]

Besides needing a battery, everything went well. It was great driving it again, especially since I've been stuck driving vehicles that are dull in comparison all winter long. Next time she's on the road, it'll be rocking a new clutch/flywheel combo, RS3's and an LSD. I cannot wait.

[deeznutz]

The LSD will be great you'll love it then with the clutch set up psshh your making me thirsty kidddd

[Isaurio]

LSD = win

I remb Dion old 74 ufff. And was untune and had no coilover it was wheel happing like crazy. That shit was nice. Lol

Cant wait for the 3.8

[M-Rod]

Heck yeah! Things will be getting very exciting in only a short time.

Should be exciting with both of your builds on the road here soon too.

Bearings and speedo gear arrived from Mitsubishi, and they are now on the wavetrac awaiting tomorrow's install. Big update coming in less than 24 hours ;)

[polishmafia]

Nice nice! Can't wait.

[GTMitsu]

Get er' done.

Silvertune to the f'in rescue! Yesterday was the planned day for some awesome projects, but my body wasn't exactly cooperating with me so I had a major headache all damn day. Luckily Silvertune had no problem grabbing the bull by the horns and made incredible results possible.

More pictures and details are soon to come but the Galant was on the road before sundown yesterday with a new flywheel, clutch, and LSD. Here's a teaser.

Alright, now that I'm on a desktop, I can add all of the pictures in one post.

One bolt shy of pulling the trans.


Found out the rear main seal is leaking.


Overall picture with the trans removed.


New rear main seal installed.


Fidanza.


The Spec Stage 4.


Here's where things get interesting. This is the shifter linkage housing after pulled and the speed sensor.


The reverse idler gear removed. This is what sits inside the little cover on the bottom side of the trans. It's held in place by the torx bolt next to the fill plug.


A cool view inside the little inspection cover. The brass synchros clear as can be.


The case opened up. Everything looks healthy.


Glad those gears that are on the pin will no longer be in my trans. They're what blew the hole in my first manual trans.


Old vs. New


The last picture before assembly.


I didn't take any after pics because, well, it doesn't look any different externally. However it performs incredibly different. Now all that's left is tires, brakes, tie rods, an alignment, and of course, kicking ass in a Galant.

[wetamup2k3g]

Beautiful!

Really interesting stuff everything transmission wise.

Ok so since I4's and V6's use the same LSD's, Can you or Silvertune tell me if using a v6 oem open differential on a I4 be an upgrade strength wise? I know It won't do much but if its stronger/beefier than the I4 I might try it since I can't afford a LSD. Srry for the small thread jack ;)
