Higher rear spring rates will help the car pick up some rotation in the turns. I run 550lbs front and 600lbs rear which is approx 10k and 11k. The ride is definitely not like a Cadillac but its not terrible. It all depends on the quality of damper you have. I'm running a high dollar custom...

I had some custom fronts done for me. They use Koni 8611 double adjustable race inserts in a custom machined housing with BC lower mounts. I am using a custom valved set of 2g Eclipse rear shocks with Ground Control collars in the rear.

I'm running 12mm offset. But there is no tucking the tire inside the fender.

I'll be there. Don't know if I'll have the car or not. Moving the shop and getting my daughter into karting has taken all my time and funds. Car has a hurt trans and possibly a lifted head from trying to go fast at the end of last year. I will be there for sure with my buddies trying to chase...

I've got a green set and a black set if interested.

We use them (PPG) in our evo but my opinion is they're junk. We keep breaking them and they're not cheap. One of our evo's broke 3rd gear at the shootout. I just put that gear in there last year. It probably had 20 passes on it. PAR engineering makes stuff as well and I'm thinking of using that...

I had an awesome time at the shootout although it was a struggle to get there. My tow vehicle decided to try and take a dump on the way there. Managed only a 2.5 hour delay so we did't get to spend much time walking around a Buschur's. Managed to win Max Effort for the 2nd year in a row and set...

Need this to be a couple months from now. I need a shell to swap everything from my daily into. I got the rot.

I used the Ingalls camber arms in the back of the car. They work great. The new ones that they sell are much beefier than the original version. Very easy to adjust as long as you anti-seize everything when you put it together. They are easy to install as well.

I just got mine replaced before the shootout. They used a Pilkington piece of glass and it fits good and seems good and true. No waves or anything.

Quoting Leon_R: Quoting vr4play: Great to see some of you there. Great to see so many Galants racing this year. I finally placed 1st on max effort even with an almost broken car. Burned up the spark plugs on my second drag pass after turning up the boost. Went 11.9 coasting through. New set of...

Great to see some of you there. Great to see so many Galants racing this year. I finally placed 1st on max effort even with an almost broken car. Burned up the spark plugs on my second drag pass after turning up the boost. Went 11.9 coasting through. New set of plugs and she's up and running...

I'll be there running in max effort again. Looking for the w this year. I've got the car working well so we'll see how it goes.

That is the exact piece I have.

I made my own sunroof delete. I still have the mold but don't really want to try and make a carbon one as mine came out kind of funky. Good enough for me but I wouldn't sell one. I can make a fiberglass one though. I have the one that I used to test fit before making the carbon one if your...

Here are some pictures of the lower gland nut and adjustment adapter. Just have to make new adjuster knobs and I'll be set.

My t3/t4 didn't have much kick on pump gas. But on E85 it tries to roll all 4 tires when boost comes on in 2nd.

I've not dyno'd the car for a while. I was hoping for between 400-450 at the wheels on the high boost setting which is 30 psi. Here is the mod list click That run was on about 24 psi and e85. Moderate timing. Around 17-18 degrees.

The same guy who made the shock housings for me made those for me a couple years ago. Bought the heims from McMaster carr.

Quoting EMX5636: Nice work! Any more info on the Coilover setup? I had always figured there must be a way to use cheap housings, and fit them with a Koni/Bilstein etc insert.I actually had a machine shop make the housings and a custom lower gland nut to house the adjuster adapter. I bought...

So I haven't done much to the car other than fix misc broken stuff. I wasn't quite satisfied with the suspension on the car but didn't like what was available for sale either. I have been planning this out for years but never got around to doing anything. Finally got around to getting it done...

I never did the conversion. I have 4 sets of wheels that fit the 4 lug and decided it would cost too much to buy all new wheels.

I have fronts and rears. Looking for 4 lug hubs in trade.

Quoting 89Mirageman: Unless you want to keep the abs why not just use the hubs and knuckles from a na fwd galant?I've got fwd turbo talon knuckles so I don't have any extra 4 lug hubs.

I'm looking for a set of 4 lug front wheel hubs to press into a set of FWD knuckles to see if it works better.

Usually the parts from the center diff fall down into the front diff but that big spider gear laying there say your correct. I've never seen one do that before and I've broken a lot of transmissions in my day. I think over 20. Lol. I would like to see the inside all disassembled.

Quoting andrew4g63: What does everyone use for the wiring to the pump? Say if you run 10awg wire straight to the pump. I bought some fittings from a company called Sealcon but they were very expensive. i want to say $70. I did use the fitting that was posted in the summit link for my fuel line...

You couldn't just throw in a set of new forged pistons because the stockers take a completely different piston to wall clearance than the forged pistons would. So you would still have to have a slight hone job done. The stock internals are good for some power and long as you don't have a hiccup.

I don't like the aluminum flywheel because of how they are made. You bolt a steel friction surface to a chunk of aluminum and expect it to stay flat. My experience has been they are noisy and if you launch it a lot the steel plate warps and the clutch fails. Aluminum and steel expand and...

Quoting Chad989of2000: Great idea. Any more details on how to do this? Did you still install the sliders after this?I do still have the sliders. I wanted the adjustability as sometimes other people drive my car. I just bent up some channel and kind of cut it to fit where I needed it. The...

By the time I made brackets and used the sliders my seats sat just as high as the factory seats. I had the same problem with my helmet hitting the roof. I ended up lopping off the rear mount for the factory seats and welding in my own to make the seats lower. I now have about 2 or 3 inches of...

I run the total seal gapless rings in my engine with no problems. I'd have to ck to see if its top or 2nd ring on my build sheet but I believe its 2nd. I've had it apart twice, once because I bent a rod when the wastegate hose came off and the 2nd time when I lost the bushings in the small end...

Last pass of the year for the old girl. Done messed the transmission up the pass after. I was going to take it apart anyway. Need to find 2 tenths before I replace the turbo. I think it's there with more timing and a better 60.

Quoting prove_it: Why not just buy a non sunroof car?It would be pretty difficult to find a completely rust free chassis on the east coast for what I got mine for. It was almost dent free until my wife knocked my motorcycle over onto the door. She was pregnant with my daughter so I couldn't...

Quoting CutlassJim:Interested in the sunroof delete. I have a non sunroof headliner to put in and would love to lose 50 lbs of the highest point of the car.I have the prototype that I made out of fiberglass and resin. There is no gel coat. I will not be making anymore of the carbon ones...

Quoting CutlassJim: Quoting vr4play: Stock weight on my car was 3456lbs. Current weight is 2860lbs. I have removed all interior insulation and sound deadening, carpet ect., fiberglass aftermarket seats, carbon hood, carbon sunroof delete, all a/c and heat removed. Still have power windows, abs...

The nice thing about the koyo bearing is that it can be dissembled before use to put better grease in them and re-assemble. I tried it with a different bearing and there is a plastic ring inside that breaks.

The axle is definitely what holds these bearings together. I keep extra outer axle joints to install into my hubs to be able to push the car in and out of the shop without messing up the bearings. I have had the hubs start to come apart when pushing without having the axle joints in place.

Evo rear differential also fits if you use 4 bolt axles and evo inner axle joints along with original ring gear. click

I think the VCU is stronger than most people think. I drove my car for a month back in the collage days with a broken rear axle. It would drive just fine as long as you didn't try and accelerate really fast. I don't think I would be concerned with moving it 5 ft back into the drive way. I just...

I think I'm being conservative and running about 17 degrees of timing.

That was on the ra1's. Running a built 2.0 with 264 cams and running an old school turbonetics t3o4e bb 50 trim on e85.

Went to the track last night and got my new personal best. I don't know if it's got much more in it. I think I can better my 60ft time a little and maybe add a touch more timing up top but this is all the boost this little turbo can make.

My fastest pass to date. 28 psi on a Turbonetics T3/T04E bb 50 trim on E85. Toyo Ra1 tires at summit motorsports park during the dsm shootout Max Effort event.

210 is about when the stock cooling fans come on so it would be fine at idle. It may be a little high for cruising. With the 180 thermostat and a Koyo racing radiator I cruise at about 190. Car never gets over 205 unless it's idling. If you want to buy a Koyo evo 3 racing radiator I can have one...

I'm in Cincinnati. There is only 1 awd dyno in the city. Not sure if he know dsmlink or not. It's my buddies shop. If you ever need suspension work done or an alignment give me a call. I can do anything but our shop specializes in suspension.

I didn't blow up the crank picture and now looking at it it is possible that it is just the camera angle.

Probably not, this was a 9 with mivec and the previous owner had it tuned and the tuner attempted to tune around the problem. The biggest difference was the spool time. Your car may be right but in the picture this one clearly looks off to me. My old setup made 305hp 350tq on 18 psi and pump gas...

I can guarantee one of the cams is off. The middle marks on the cam gears should go down slightly not up. I'm not trying to start a ruckus I just want to help. I see this mistake often. It's a common mistake. I worked at the Mitsu dealer back when these cars were not that old. Without the cam...
