figured i would make a new post showing whats going on. i dont really have the attention span to keep updating my Galant like i should. but i have decided that the Galant is priority, and progress WILL BE MADE. and im gonna try to keep this updated.


so basic list has been made:
tuning
tires are shit
steering rack is leaking
need LSD/axles
brakes are just "ok"
want coilovers
ALIGNMENT!!!

couple others on the list, gonna call it phase 2:
quicker spool and more power
stereo system is weak
seats? steering wheel?
still need 92 grill
remove chrome crap



anyway on to pics...


scored a 92-93 AWD DSM rack since mine is leaking...

dont mind the Integra, she is on some serious JSB after trying to make some music with the valves (bent every one lol)




"4bolt" rear axles = stronger that the 3bolts in my car
4bolt LSD rear end axles
5 lug rear hubs/stubs/rotors (gonna turn the rotors at work)



oh, didnt mention this above. think i have a couple junk lifters. seem to not pump up when cold/low RPMs. and randomly get 1-2ticks when running. so i picked up some fresh ones. also have a valve cover gasket set around somewhere.



ECMLink v3... 3rd time? i would prefer to tune her on AEM, but my box is broken... someone come tune my car.



eprom ecu... still need to finish socketing it.

got a decent pile of parts going. it was nice meeting you yesterday, I would have chatted longer but I could feel my boss's eyes on the back of my head.

so i was thinking. i know what my Galant looks like, you guys might not.


this is most recent






took these right after i got my 93 headlights and fresh bumper markers.


there is a Spearco 2-216 (Indyracecore) hiding in there believe it or not.


engine bay is looking pretty shitty. still plan on doing some cleaning up under there. not in my parts pile, but i do have a nicer valve cover that i have plans for. the MAFT is going away, and might end up redoing the charge pipes, might just modify as needed, we will see how my plans of bigger power go.

I agree that the US bumpers look good uncut, but damn is it an airflow block.

I did the same on the Integra.

I don't really care to hack up the bumper. maybe its cuz I feel its hacked? or I don't care about the going factor anymore? first couple projects back when I was 18-20yo I cut some bumpers. thinking I'm at cut 2, uncut 6, plus one just didn't have an intercooler lol.

Agreed, looks nice. it's so easy to make hondas look ricey but that one is clean and simple. Makes me miss my GSR.

Quoting turbohf:

---

I don't like the look of the cut US bumper either. but I would like to get some more air to that 2-216. I would like to try to cut out just the black horizontal areas. but not sure how it would look when done, or if I have a steady enough hand for it.

---

I've seen this tried, and it never seems to turn out well. The problem is, those small horizontal areas provide structural support for the slats in the bumper. If you cut them out, the slats sag and look like shit. At that point, you should probably just cut them out completely.

I'd bet even with the bumper completely uncut, it flows pretty well. Of course, not as well as a completely cut bumper, but there is a good amount of air moving through there.

so shitty update... buddy that was/is going to sell me his EVO8 wheels is at school, and probably not coming back for a week or 2. sucks. but gives me another min to try to find some EVO IX GSR/RS Enkei's that i REALLY have been wanting for a while. no one seems to have them or want to sell them.

i have tracking number for coilovers i might just throw these on to see whats up. but my springs (eibach) for my Civic (oh yeah, i have a civic also...too many cars) are showing up before that, and i would like to swap the Cusco coilovers off that and onto buddies car so i can get some big dollars to buy more shit i dont need for the Galant. yeah i got issues. anyway, more updates coming as parts get here i assure you! lol



PLEASE LET ME KNOW if you see my EVO9 Enkei;s forsale anywhere!


the civic:

just my 'daily driver' beater pile Civic... was stupid cheap (probably less than 1000bucks into it) it has AC, and gets 32-38mpg depending on traffic.

I was so excited did a little unboxing on my desk at work. boss was blabbing about some shit, wasn't paying attention, i was on lunch :P









fresh new set of BC Racing coilovers thanks to our very own bobdole. also got my Hawk brakes from him.

I'll have some more pics and a review of some kind once I get them installed.

I have some Evo 8 wheels with some super sticky summer tires on them, zero miles. they have just been sitting around waiting for me to do my 5 lug swap.

should be about it... its a copy/paste.

Plastidip? you just have to peel it off. it's a bitch if it's not very thick.

it's the only way. or take a wire wheel to it, but then you will have to repaint.
