Love how the heat exchangers are sandwiched together and all the associated bracketry; they just did a great job on everything. And damn i bet that car flies. It was really fast before. I kinda wish the FMIC wasn't exposed below the bumper, but it's not really a big deal and i'm sure could be overcome without too much trouble. The exterior refresh looks awesome though. You are going to surprise the sh*t out of some folks. You've really done right by this car.
Thanks dude. The fmic was just too tall to fit any other way, but in person it's not noticeable at all. Just gotta be careful with big dips, which I have to do anyway because of the gas tank. I'm still not done though, I'm not sure the car will ever be "finished." There will always be something to make better, cleaner, more functional. And thanks for mentioning the exterior! I love it! The new hood, and changing the color of the wheels made such a big difference!

There's some things I miss from Cali and one is not being able to see your car after all the mods you done to it. Great job on the attention to details like going V-band on the throttle body. Your one of the people who realize it's a quality over quantity thing, the rims came out pretty legit too.
Have fun being crazy in a foreign country bro, the Galant is pimp.
Always quality over everything. Throwing a car together, it may work, but it will not last. I am very detail oriented, it's the only way to ensure things will last and not fall apart, and I was lucky to have the Sheepey Built guys to make me some incredible parts, and I was able to make sure things were built how I wanted them, and I re-asembled my car how I wanted to, so I feel confident in every little thing, and know I shouldn't have any stupid issues.

Man I wish I wouldve heard this thing run when I dropped by the house. I guess I'll just have to come back when you get back from NZ /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif
Nice numbers dude /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/applause.gif
I'm sure you'll have something I want or vice versa at some point haha.

is that the .82 open T4 hotside? I'm sure you can make some more mojo when you swap that out, seems like a lot of 6466 guys are having great luck with the 1.01 or 1.15 housing.
I love how the car has come together though, the execution is exceptional.
It's the .82 open V-band hotside. I'd like to try the 1.01 hosted at some point, but I like the quicker spool of the .82, and I don't want to rev my car to the bearing destroying, valve crushing rpms that a lot of guys do... haha. Scares me, I like my motor. Also I still plan on some trackday stuff with the car.
However, maybe I should try the bigger hotside, considering the torque down low annihilated my transmission after 2 days. I'll might try a 3.5 or 4" exhaust first though, see how much of a difference that makes. However Beau told me it's more of an bottlenecking effect with the housing rather than the exhaust. I also thought about doing a hood exit to where the driver side hood vent is just for the track.
But thank you for the kind words, I hope to only continue with it and make it as perfect as it can be.
