255/1000 Is running again

[turbofonz]

Alright, after spending ALL year putting this thing together for winter time, it's done and driving. I bought the car mostly as a shell with a motor and spent a LOT of timing redoing the car, subframe, and fixing some rust. Car's body is in VERY good shape, only a few dings, interior's mint too.

Car is mostly stock, original motor with no balance shafts, DSMlink, 660's, Denso 150lph pump, 3" turboback ,4 bolt rear, ACT2600 and ACT flywheel. H and R springs on GR2s and a ST rear swaybar. ABS, 4WS, CC, A/C are gone. Bunch of new OE parts such as rear wheel bearings, caster bolts, gaskets, misc hardware etc...

I spent a good amount of time removing and relocating stuff in the engine bay, but I still need to get rid of some of the stock pipes and move the battery. In time.

Also I need to make the thing sit a little lower, more like my 1g, and some tint. But I'm just happy to be driving the thing after a long ass time putting it together.

 

Nice wheels.
Congrats on the running gvr4. We've all had are down time, I'm sure. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

17x8, +35 5zigen FN01r-c's with 245/40/17" Sumitumo rubber.

I think those are 5-ZIGEN Fn01r-c wheels.

 

i just wanted to know the offset and width cuz i want my car to sit somewhat the same, i like when rwd and awd have a nice low wide stance.

 

btw your engine bay is sweet nipples

Car(s) look great! Like the simple, clean engine bay. DSM looks dope with the 8's and dropped. I'd DD that all day. Nice stuff....

Thanks guys.

The dsm has been my daily driver for about 3 years now. It's progressed a lot, but now the Galant will be the daily driver and the 1g will turn into more of a race car.

I'm happy about the engine bay, but some intercooler pipes and better intake will help it out a lot IMO.

 

Looking good.

 

Car is sexy!! One of the few I wish I had kept. I picked up
another white VR4 so you will have a twin soon. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I think i'm going to try a different color this time. I dont want to have the exact same car.
Maybe black or something custom.
