Finally bought our house and after a few months started to continue upgrading and restoring my Galant VR4.
New Home:
A sticker my fiance bought for me :)
I freshened up the JDM "RS" 4G63t ;)
Replaced the H&R springs with blown stock shocks/struts with KYB AGX and Ground Control coilovers with front TEIN upper pillowball camber plates
Ran into a snag removing the rear left shock. Rust had fused the shock sleeve to the mounting shaft. With a tourch, flathead screwdriver, and angle grinder I was able to get the shock off and clean up the mounting shaft.
New rear calipers and new rear Brembo rotors on the rear.
I wasn't too happy with the Greddy Gauges so I replaced them with Prosport gauges. I installed 5 Prosport gauges monitoring Boost, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, Water temp, and Fuel Pressure.
Installed:
Carbon Fiber gauge bezel:
New gauge setup.
I decided the car needed a new tire and wheel setup. I got some stock Evo 8 Enkies and repainted them myself for the "Time attack" look.
Wrapped each tire with Dunlop Direzza sports 245/35/17 on the 17x8 Evo 8 Enkies
Some more pics:
Got curious and wondered if the OEM Starion "donut" headrests would fit with the OEM GVR4 seats. I found that the "breadloaf" stock headrest to be out of place considering what the GVR4 is all about. I found a pair of mint leather headrests from a Starion that matched the interior color of the GVR4. Now they in the car and looks 100x's better than the "breadloaf" headrests and flow better with the car.
Getting ready for the new setup:
I sold the MHI 20g turbo I previous bought and decided to go with a different turbo and setup. So far the new setup is:
-Evo 3 manifold
-FP Red turbo
-Tial 40mm wastegate
