Get that or a 3g with a 2.4 and you can swap on the dohc top end fairly easy.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

sexy sexy...!

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

This is exactly what Pete should do! Beautiful looking car... Style and a hell of a drive train to back it up. Damn.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Holy hotness. If pete hasnt seen this yet, hes going to nut. lol

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

So it's basically an overweight Evo? Hahahaha jk, that thing is sexy!!

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

I don't know why but I am getting Hyundia or Chevy Cobalt from it.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Oh man, that thing is sexy. All that show and it's still a hell of a sleeper.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Haha... If I haven't seen this? Bah... I know all about Galants ;)

This guy is one of the founding members of TheGalantCenter.net. His screenname is Cali. As far as all we all know, he was the first to swap a 4G63 into a Galant. He was TheGalantCenter's car of the year for 2007.

He put a TON of time and money into this car, and won multiple awards at car shows. He was the first person to import that front end - the Dolphin Aeroform bumper and Liberal grill. About $2000 just for those two pieces from a company in Japan. He's been in a few magazines, including ModifiedMag.

Anyhoo... I know way too much about this car. His determination to make the Galant a part of the tuning community is to be applauded. He reached out to companies to make parts (which they did), one of the first to complete a JDM front conversion (like I've done), and alot of other stuff.

His last dyno that I remember he was putting down 320whp/340tq.

Sadly, he doesn't own the car anymore. He sold it a few months ago for just over 15k (I believe). Who ever posted those photos might be the new owner.

So... now do you guys see why I mod my Galant? They can turn out pretty decent! ;)

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

*sigh*

Anyone have a spare Evo XIII motor lying around?

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

^lol.
I get teh cobalt feel from it too a little.

Anywho do it up pete, that is sick.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

i dont know if anyone even has an evo 13 yet :P

sweet galant though, im a huge fan of G-VR4's

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Haha dammit. It was a long day. You knew what I meant ;)

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

That car is pretty cool. Pete, get to work!

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Very cool. Do want.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

very clean looking car to bad it is not awd.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

I was thinking Scion tC. Very cool nonetheless.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Yes, that's it.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

I saw that in some car rag a few months back, I was going to tell Brandon about it. JDM yo!

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

wow...humpity hump. that is the craziest galant i've seen. CF roof especially. what an amazing car.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

I'm positive that the Van would still beat this car at the Cookout. :)

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Hahahaha 15k is a pretty damn good deal considering how much the builder had into it

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Is it AWD? I could find anything on it; definetly a cool swap but if it's still FWD man would that thing be a handful to drive if the engine was even mildly modded. If it is AWD then its an ultra sick sleeper car.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

if it is an evo drive train it would have to be awd.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Nope, its still FWD. He's currently working on another 8G Galant that will be AWD.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

It's still FWD? I vote ban Rose until he learns what a drivetrain is!! :lol:

It is not nearly as cool if he didn't swapt the AWD system in it.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

If it's FWD, then who even cares.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

<---Doesn't care.

Looks decent though.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Hey now... I just copied and pasted what the owner had posted on Evom... He didnt say mention it was FWD.... I assumed it was AWD till Polishmafia informed us!

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Thats why I asked; what a wheel hopping axle breaking mess that thing must be with even 300whp.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Hey it would run mid 14's @ 115mph; the ricers at Rock Falls would care.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Pretty sexy galant. Not a huge fan of them, but this one by far is the best one I have seen.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Well a sad day for all Galant owners...

The guy who bought this car from the person who did all the mods wrecked it. He got into a "situation" with a Mustang.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

Wow, that sucks! Its so common for nice cars to be wrecked as soon as they're sold :(

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

super lame!

alot of people dont know how to handle the powa!

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

If it were AWD, probably wouldn't have happened... Just saying...

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

No, if the situation hadn't involved a Mustang, it wouldn't have happened.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

If the situation didn't involve a shitty driver it would not have happened.

Re: Galant w/ Evo VIII MR drivetrain
 

LOL @ all above true statements.

The seller knew that his car wasn't going to last long. When the guy who bought it handed over the check, he peeled out and almost hit a parked car. So he kinda knew it was coming. It just sucks that 5 years with the car and this is how it ended - by the crappy driving skills of a douchebag (Galant and Mustang owners included).
