GSX_TC's Galant VR4 Build Thread #550/2000 (Samara)

Quoting mitsuturbo:
Those look pretty cool. Why did you get two of them?

I wouldn't mind picking one up, but i don't like the logo and the flat spot on it. Looks a bit gaudy IMO. I'd like to see a nice clean rounded off one.

What kind of $ are those going for, anyway?



My girl bought them for me, she bought two of them for the VR4 and one of my 1G's. They are just purely cosmetic though, should spiff up the engine bay a bit.

Quoting SSGdave:
ooooh, that's who you are.
I just posted on your FB pic of this.

These are freaking bad ass man, Thanks for the Idea!!!



This is how I know to check Mike's build thread, when he posts on his FB

I dont see any pricing on their site, anyone know what that sh*t costs??

 

[GSX_TC]

Just asked my girl and she said she paid 75 a piece for them josh. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[IncorpoRatedX]

I wasn't interested in those, thanks though.

 

[GSX_TC]

Which ones did you want prices on?

what's the purpose of those? just bling?



Yeah, they are just bling. Frontline Fabrications only started making them by request of a customer who bought literally everything else he makes.

I need a diff cover, and I really want a valve cover.



Yeah, I'd love to get one of their valve covers myself, but could never justify spending $600+ on any valve cover.

Mike, make sure you carefully seal the CAS really well after you replace the cover. Moisture will kill a CAS real quick.

Will do, thanks for the tip Brett.

I've seen them installed.. Can't say I'm a fan. MAP as one now as well.

 

[GSX_TC]

Haha yeah I saw that too, theirs are like. 30 bucks cheaper though. I like it.

BIG thanks to Andrew Kisner from Frontline Fabrication for making these awesome cam angle sensor covers! Got home from work and installed them on both cars just now. And I love how they look , another great addition to the bays.

The MAP black top cover looks WAY better than the frontline one, IMO.

 

[Gizmovr4]

Mike, is your cover upside-down??

 

[vr4play]

I don't think so. It looks like the hump in the cover is for the pickup sensor. They should have put the logo the other way.

 

[mitsuturbo]

Nah man, he just has an australian spec engine. Don't you know, they run backward down there. He had to put his CAS on upside down for it to work properly!

[GSX_TC]

No it's not upside down, it's just that I'm using a different style green top, and this batch of covers basically go on the 90 style and the black top as well. I still like it though, just shows a different area of it.




And yeah I like the map one too, might pick one up for my 91 GSX.

 

[GSX_TC]

Finally got a Wideband for the VR4!! it's an NGK AFX Wideband. =D FPR kit is on the way too.

 

[Boostdtalon]

Man that looks nice. I always wanted to do something like that with mine.

BIG thanks to Tj Tercio Botelho for selling me his very own personal turbo oil cap from his 8-second 4G63 powered S2000
