the winter and the rain is about over and i have been hard at work, i got the TCU hooked and working properly, cut down the automatic shifter, added a suede shift boot, got an aftermarket auto shift knob, got the reverse lights hooked up and working, got all the blinkers and headlights working, cleaned the car out and up really good, added evo8 rear seats(so my dogs dont slide around like they do on the leather), painted the insert in the grill dark purple, finished tucking and hiding the rest of the wiring harness, cut the bumpers front opening for the intercooler, painted the intercooler dark purple and the end tanks black, put the exhaust that boost4u gave me on it, cross drilled and slotted rotors all the way around, apex-i turbo timer, autometer boost, oil pressure and air/fuel. im sure there are other things im forgetting, but its coming along nicely.

Twist: it's actually his car, but he didn't want us to mock him for the purple. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riaat.gif

My wife took the Galant to the grocery store last night. She was delighted when I told her it now revs out to 8000. I love listening to hear rev it out and catch 2nd from the house /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I don't think he can let his girlfriend drive his wife's car. That would be awkward. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/uhh.gif

Looks good I'm really happy you took care of it. I was worried about the guy that got it from me, seemed he wasn't the type to keep the car going. Not crazy about the purple but what the hell it's not my car... What did you do that let it rev to 8?
