My Galant GSX build

[GSTwithPSI]

Quoting faqinshiet:
Anticipating a move to Virginia in the near future.



The build is looking great, dude. Where in VA you gonna be?

 

[faqinshiet]

Thanks Brett!
Will be in Arlington. I don't know the area at all. My girlfriend is from Va and wants to be closer to family.

 

[GSTwithPSI]

Nice! That's about an hour from me. When do you plan to make the move?

 

[faqinshiet]

Well we don't have a date at the moment but my girlfriend wants to be there before August. I'll have to search for some place to store the car and parts. Oh and jobs for us.
If we are in Virginia by August I have a room at Shoot out just in case we are out there.

 

[faqinshiet]

So in preparation to our move to Va I had to organize all the parts in my parents garage. Here are some of the boxes. Wish I could have spent more time organizing the boxes better but will have to do till I can afford to ship and store the car and parts out. This is about have of what I have collected.

Nice updates with a lot of new goodies! The cotter pin had backed out of my WG on my Evo 3 16g as well. Haha. That is why I just ended up swapping the turbo before mod. I took it as a sign.

 

[faqinshiet]

Yes almost too many parts! Yeah I probably could have thrown on the 68hta but got lazy.

 

[faqinshiet]

Well I have been driving the galant for the past week and she has done amazing!! She has some idle surge but runs like a champ! She is now tuck away in my parents garage till I can get enough to ship all parts and the car. Here are some pics

Oh and I forgot I bought these during Black Friday. New lifters, clutch line, Waldrop 450 with install kit, bronze guides and +1mm valves.


And I also bought a cylinder head from one of the guys on here.

Can't wait to see how everything turns out.

Nice...... Love It

 

[faqinshiet]

Thanks guys! I miss the car! Its been a project for sure! Hopefully I can figure out someplace to store everything here soon.

 

[ApexHunter]

Maybe i can find a place to store it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

 

[faqinshiet]

Haha...you have too many cars! It is safely tucked away at my parents but I want it on this side of the USA!

Side note I traded my Xterra for a 2010 forester XT. I got super great deal on wrx suspension, 20mm rear sway bar, and sit cat back (all for $450). And I'm trying to get a set of 2011 wrx wheels but seller and I have conflicting schedules. Hopefully I can get them this weekend. Here is one of the pics I have of my xt

 

[faqinshiet]

Oh forgot to post this from last year MOD that my friend saw

 

[GSTwithPSI]

Nice!

Sucks, I'm going to miss both MOD events this year. I'll be in Maryland for West Coast MOD, and in Cali for East Coast MOD. FML.

 

[faqinshiet]

Oh man that does suck! But you'll have the amazing weather once out there.

 

[faqinshiet]

So drove the galant to LA for west coast mod but had to park in the over flow cause the let the evos everywhere. But once home noticed grinding tot the drive side front wheel/brakes so had to park the car at my parents again. Didn't get a chance to pull wheel and look around cause we had to fly out in a couple hours so put it on jackstands and covered. Ordered an extra caliper and bearings for the next trip out.


Well my thread went to crap since uploads not working so will have to work through and upload the pics.

 

[voltroy03]

I would like to see the pics for reference but I think there's a problem with Photobucket or something.

 

[faqinshiet]

Removed photobucket pictures and replaced. Ordered front hub, bearings, and spare calipers just in case.
