Funny question for you.
Whats the economy on this thing like?
How well does the 5speed fit in the tunnel?

Whats the economy on this thing like?

awesome on the highway, at 110km/h its sitting on 1,800 rpm
around town is still good but i usually give it a bit at the lights etc
out of the galant tank (think they are 40 litres) i get around 400k's round town
on the highway i did get 550 once

How well does the 5speed fit in the tunnel?

it is a new tunnel, cut out old tunnel, removed part of floorpan,
then widened the old tunnel and put back in.
that was one of the major parts in the engineering process.

thanks.

EVL - when it goes in for paint it is getting the rally pack stripe.
not sure whether or not to remove the other strips though...

TUFSIG - looks ok in the pics, real life its a bit dodgey

but it will do until i get one made up....

75wagon- if your car was in my garage on the weekend it probably would have got a touch up too lol
(not that im saying yours is untidy haha)
i was seriously bored out of my mind.
and then it rained sunday as well, but at least the taxi's were on tv.

here is a preview pic of a photo shoot i did with my mate this afternoon.
any newcastle members, if you want some shots taken/edited
he will do it for a few beers haha.

i found this spot and showed him,
i liked the "ghetto theme" lol.

this is the only pic he sent me (only took the photos at 6.30 - now 8.30)

tell me what you think,
(he would like to know what other car enthusiests think)

just a few pics of some updates....

new rocker covers painted by Dave (75wagon)
with Galant wording.....

restored spare grill done by Dave again haha....

also had to get a new radiator filler neck as old one had a hairline crack in it....

MONEY PITS!

Post by **75wagon** » Thu Dec 03, 2009 5:03 pm

Lookin' good.
Still not sure about the red bits though, I think they looked better with the black grill...
It's good when your spare grill ends up being in better nic than the one on your car... Least you'll have a good spare now...

Dave

)

Hmm.... and yeah, the red in the grill might be a bit much? but each to their own.

Nick.

Post by **TUFSIG** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 7:47 pm

EVL076 · Post by **EVL076** » Mon Dec 07, 2009 9:26 pm

77galantv6 · Post by **77galantv6** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 7:25 pm

just a couple of pics of my new seats.....
Monza sports bucket

mounted them on the original rails, just made some brackets to suit....
about the only thing i was able to do over the holiday break

Skidmark · Post by **Skidmark** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 8:11 pm

man they look good, very jealous dude.

Post by **75wagon** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 8:34 pm

What a shame they didn't come in the same colour as the rest of you trim...
They look comfy

I bet it feels like your car handles better now too?

Dave...

Post by **TUFSIG** » Wed Jan 06, 2010 7:09 pm

hmm hope your not tall looks very cramped in that galant lol

77galantv6 · Post by **77galantv6** » Wed Jan 06, 2010 7:25 pm

only 6'2 haha
its a little small but theres never exactly going to be much room in a galant....
any further back and the front seat would hit the rear seat
and even then i would have to modify the position of the rails....

Post by **75wagon** » Wed Jan 06, 2010 7:26 pm

Yep, he's tall. But there's heaps of room, in the front. Just no room for anyone in the back. Same as my wagon

I suppose it's like a 260z 2+2, room for 2 people in the front, and 2 people without legs in the back

Dave...

Post by **GC75** » Wed May 12, 2010 12:51 am

anything new

77galantv6 · Post by **77galantv6** » Wed May 12, 2010 11:54 am

not alot, have purchased a few little things but nothing thats very exciting
but i did just buy a set of sigma turbo rims that will hopefully be on their way soon
am thinking of polishing the hell out of the outer rim and painting the centres black
(depending on condition) - if they are polishable, i will just polish them - sorry 75wagon will hahah

but at the moment am just trying to save for a paint job.
hard when you lose your job and have to pay rego and insurance during that time....
all my savings were gone!

shuggy · Post by **shuggy** » Wed May 12, 2010 5:29 pm

hahah have fun with bleeding fingers!

77galantv6 · Post by **77galantv6** » Sat Sep 04, 2010 1:27 pm

just a few little updates,
had a bit of spare time 3 weeks ago so moved my guages under the dash,
put on my spare dash, got my new plates (read - you be lagging)
made a cold air intake for the pod and put my Turbo rims on...

pics of said updates

Post by **75wagon** » Sat Sep 04, 2010 5:00 pm

It's looking sweet as now

Question is, what do you do now?

Dave...

Looks great mate

Not so much a fan of the steering wheel though, needs something like a Nardi Classic to reall set it off IMO
