    Figured im bored, its late, why not start a build thread?

    A few months ago I had this as my daily driver

    It broke down alot, 211k on the KA, Strut tower rusted through, twice. Hole in the floor behind the pass.seat, it was going downhill fast, but it looked good haha. It broke down and I was working on fixing it when I needed a daily. I went out and got this 2000 Mitsubishi Galant from my cousin.

    Painted a bunch of stuff flat black, threw HID's in it and drove it around, ***** the car.
    Did a bunch of questionable mods including but not limited to, 240sx Kouki spoiler, Woodgrain roof, stickered everything, MK3 Vw front lip, Led underheadlight strips, painted more stuff black, etc.

    Ridiculously large fogs( HID) and a europlate

    Drove down to Baltimore, MD on a snowy day

    And picked up these for 200$

    Did a GTO swap

    Anyway, the car was slammed on the coils on my steelies with literally, 70 series sidewalls.

    more dumb stuff


    Got these MK3 Supra wheels for free so I painted them gunmetal and went to put them on only to learn that Mitsubishi had obnoxiously large hub bores and these are too small
    Got these 17x9+24 Bullit reps brand new for 330$ shipped to my door.

    Picked up a new fender from the junkyard

    I was starting to actually enjoy the car, wasnt as low as id like, rears are all the way down, front collars removed.


    Got a carbonfiber roof wing

    Than this happened on my way to work...

    The car has alot of camber, but the toe managed to eat the tire first, thats when I realized it wasnt dirt on the sides of my rear bumper, but rubber.

    Now its 3 sets after the original first set on the rear just going from tire pile to tirepile like back in the days with my 240..

    Got a free carbon scoop from my boss at work, Riveted it in using WAYYY to many rivets. I dislike it, its functional, but dont like it, Next for the body is a new hood anyway from all the dents.

    How she sits now


    I ***** the car at first, but it has grown on me, Im learning how to drive a fwd car hard and its taking the beating, its amazing on backroads and I cant wait to get an alignment and autocross it this season coming up.

    Future plans
    -Make custom rear toe-arms
    -Custom springs for the front to go lower
    -Integra type-R front lip (actually fit galants)
    -New hood
    -tinted windows
    -5 speed swap

    Ideas in my head
    -dual cam head swap with mild cams, maybe a 16g turbo set-up.

        Yeah I was looking at all kinds of wheels and no one had really run this aggressive on a galant and when I asked about it everyone told me I couldnt do it, so I did anyway.

                        Thanks everyone!

                        S2k13, I'm on galant center, I dig the JDM stuff but it's all too pricey for me, if anything I'd just pick up a grille.

                        Blackflag, looks awesome! What offset you running? More pics? I dig it
