shit is cool.. personally if you were to go force fed i'd stick to the turbo preferably as they just sound so mean! either way this thing would haul with or without forced induction.

Re: Jordan Diff thread questions :P

you ever thought of maybe looking at a rear IRS from a starion? bit more to spend but at least then you could buy a factory lsd.. they're meant to handle a fair bit in standard form.

Re: Built for drift

Yeah your right, i spose it comes down to what level of drifting are we talking about for the galant.. may it be for pro use or just as a drift hack job which is what its leaning towards it seems. Either way it should be something worth trying especially on a budget and can always build it up over t...

That sounds awesome! Personally i think if you were just starting off you could just weld the diff.. coilovers in the front with fairly stiff spring rates and dampening.. A decent handbrake to get it out sideways and then i would turn all attention to motor/gearbox choice. Whats your main ideas firs...

Re: Keep or remove vinyl roof?

Personally i would remove it.. Car looks a whole lot cleaner without it.. Even if the vinyl roof is in good nick. Hidden rust is always beneath them buggers also..
