Amazing work!

Little update, trunk is completed, also an interior and the doors, every little thing was polished, galvanized bolts etc, it takes a lot of time for that (for doors I have spend 2weeks of every day work)








Side skirts are ON



Interior COMPLETE






Front light renewd , galvanised bolts etc.

Got some time to finish my custom made mud flaps, base design was for an EVO6





And FRONT end finished, it looks so clean now, better than new

here is the pic i like the most












And one with all lights ON

so cool! i just bought a 88 dodge colt sedan. its the same body but totally different front clip, and rear bumper. its a pretty sweet old car. i might sell, or swap it. already have a swapped colt, but seeing this one makes me want to keep it

well Galant body doesnt have anything with the colt lancer

everything is much bigger, stronger and luxurious than Colt sedan

upon closer inspection, i see they are completely different!

Time for new exhaust full 70mm exhaust, with electric cutout on the rear muffler ( for quieter and louder mode), and polished 80mm exit





So here is my design

two pipes through the rear muffler (bigger one(70mm on the electric cutout side, without holes on it), and smaller one (60mm, where gasses are going when cutout is closed(with holes in it, so the muffler can absorb sounds)
remember , the angle of those two pipes is very important, the bigger angle you got, the louder car will be when the cutout is opened











Next thing to do is to port a turbo housing, this needs to be done to prevent boost creep, here it is how it looks before and after around wastegate











Later i had problems with a hot air when boosting. As the car still isnt mapped, and its in brake in proceduree hot air is allready a problem, so it would be big problem during the mapping

So i got almost a brand new intercooler from EVO10



And one video how electric cutout work(sounds)
this is without middle muffler, so basically when electric cutout is opened it simulates straight pipe

Intercooler fits perfectlly

it is 3times bigger than the old one





oil cooler was also relocatted

here how the intercooler looks after redoing the pipes, also a SPAL fan was added for better cooling





Electronic boost controller is installed also




and i got a throttle body from an evo8, much better and faster TPS and ISC sensors

Next, i had to make adapter for ISC to the Eclipse/ early EVO installation

also i had boost leaks on throttle body, and on the outlet of a turbo, so a new flange has been made



Rebuild kit for throtle body








Next i got very lucky and found a brand new middle blend for redesign version complete with instructions and install hardware



also i got a brand new right tail lamp





to me looks much better with it

another CRASH, fortunately a very light one, Opel didnt pass well haha





All repaired now





one with mine second Sapporo with ECS (Electronic controlled suspension)



nice turnup one evening



and meeting with a friend of mine (normal vs RalliArt)





next thing i got is pieces for suspension upgrade

much larger holder bracket for front subframe



and poly bushings for front end

THAT is an awesome build. I have a question about the origins of that AMG spark plug cover though, any history or details?

congratulations on the build, I hate that it got hit twice, that must have sucked.

(short story) after I got my talon painted, I was backing out after looking all around in a local grocery store parking lot and some granny in her van whipped around the corner and into my rear passenger corner, I was far less than happy. But almost laughed when I bore witness to the damage, some scuffs and her vans white paint on my car was all it did to the Talon, her vans front passenger fender on the other hand, was caved in pretty badly. Got to love 80's-90's cars. Lighter than modern cars, and stronger too!

thank you

AMG cover i got from one guy from US, also i got a spare one from New Zealand

And finally mapping day

Results are 313hp and 395Nm
Finished on 1.3bar boost

Lets post a few updates

next thing for deal with was suspension and handling


Suspension was original, but all springs are worn out and old, rear shocks were leaking, and also the car was too soft to handle that kind of power so i upgrade it to much better level

Ive bought Cusco street ZERO coilovers for Lancer EVO III

car handles much much better in corners, over the holes its almost like stock suspension, over the speed bumps you have to be little gentle , overall very good coilover



Also got the powerflex camber bolts as the car sits little lower now



Got new oem bumper indicator lens



Then the next problem was grip, i had only 2 and a half years old tyres but they didnt have grip at all

So i bought new tyres Continental Contisportcontact 5 215/45/17, also as I will upgrade the brakes i need new wheels that are the same dimensions (17" , 7J , ET40) but with flatter spokes
that means more space for bigger brake calipers, luckily i found Superleggeras which are 4kg lighter than previous wheels EACH! and also they have 1,5cm more space for brake calipers



Cleaned up the wheels, waxed them, got new central rings 67,1mm and new lug nuts



And ready to fit on a car



Results are awesome, lighter steering wheel (as each wheel is lighter for 4kg), and much more grip, which allows me to run full boost in second gear afer 5000rpm




Also getting the parts for next work

new tie rods, new tie rod ends, new boots, new front bearings, new CV joints

This thing is pimp. Keep the updates coming!

Next update, got the brakes, 4pot brembos with braided steel lines and 320mm discs



redrilled discs to 4x114,3 and test fit, it fills up the 17" nicely



got new front bearing in, and also polyurethane on arms





Custom made heavier springs for trunk opening, as the factory didnt design it for trunk spoiler, now the trunk hood sits up alone



Another gearbox from 2.4 Galant is in with lower miles on it

also installed new OEM shaft seals



new clutch disk material



also new braided steel line for the slave clutch cylinder, you can see how worn out is the old one



and new slave clutch cylinder

Disassembled front subframe



Some new parts



Took out the bushings front front subframe, they were in really bad condition, as you can see on the picture, new oem ones are ready to pop in



also new stoppers





New gasket for fuel sender unit



New grommet for hood pin



Then i have to install new seals in the steering rack, and also new rod ties, rod tie ends and new boots






New boot for steering rack




Dont have picture when shafts were finished, but painted them to OEM colour



Painted brackets for front subframe



Installed and painted slave clutch cylinder



Custom made full rubber front engine mount



Polyurethane SuperPro bush on sway bar



Finally made an adapter for EVO ISC to DSM wire installation

Assembled complete front subframe, car really drives fantastic now, no sounds at all, and brakes, AWESOME, it has the stopping power now

also to make it a little softer i have made custom springs, front 5,6kg/mm and rears 3,5kg/mm



Calipers refurbed, new, bolts, paint and stickers, little before/after









It fitted very nice



New blood



At the geometry service






And got the fluidampr crank pulley & ARP bolts

Few more updates

new rear steel brake feed lines



installed fluidampr crank pulley, and also new Gates, alternator and power steering belt



looks good underneath now



Got brand new OEM front grille





Adjustable rear dampers came in, Cusco, newer dampers, and also they are longer for 1cm, which means a little more street friendly



Comparasion to a non adjustable CUSCO



and one nice pic from the petrol station

Great build. One of my favorites. The exhaust cutout with the muffler is totally sweet!

thanks. yeah cutout thing is pretty cool. as i use my car for holiday trips also. And i want my car for multipurpose use. Not only for street racing

I love this car. I have 1341/2000 91. I have not touched it yet, as I am busy with the Talon. However I cant wait to get started.

Little update, havent been working on a car. I was driving it for a change, done over 3000km over the last 3months

In front of Pula Arena



then i was on a oldtimer meeting, with my dad(green 4gen Galant), and a good friend of mine with his RalliArt version also in white. That was a pretty cool sight









And some better photos of mine car

Couple more updates

Crankpreassure was next thing to deal with, no more oil dip stick popping out and inlet on turbo is now dry

so I have made a custom valve cover, drilled a much larger hole, and weld bigger fitting, removed PCV valve and also put a bigger one, but left the thread in case i will want to return PCV

after that, professional coat was apllied




difference between holes



New oil Catch can and silicone hose





Then few shots from the sea and driving











Then got new silicone clear hose for washerfluid line, so I have replaced an old ugly one






Thats all for now

wow on that breather size.. "I like em big"
