GSTwithPSI Galant VR4 1837 of 2000

[GST with PSI]

For the back, you'll need a set of 90* L brackets.

Belts installed:

Out with the BBS LMs and in with the Work Meister S1s. When I got the wheels they were looking poopy:

So I stripped all the poop off of one:

Then did the rest:

Taped off the lips and prepped for paint:

Picked up some paint from Automotive Touchup. I went with Factory Subaru Gold Metallic, and it turned out to be a really nice color:

After a quick spray:

Almost dry:

Wheels are dry, tape removed. I decided not to clear coat because I really liked the finish. It's not quite a matte finish, but more like a satin finish. It looks great in the sun.

Picked up all new decals:

Decals on, wheels shined up and finished:

...And soon to be wrapped in Dunlop Direzza DZ101s:

Tires mounted. I'm excited to get them on the car and see how they look.

At this point, I pretty much have everything I need to get 1837 back together. Now, I can get my other motor on the stand and start building it

Did a little work on 18Turdy7.

New brake lines on all 4 corners. Started with the fronts:

Then did the rears. New calipers, rotors, dust shields, and brake lines installed:

Getting finished up under the hood:

Before I get started here, I'd like to give a shoutout to the guys at Mandrel Bending Solutions in Pasadena, MD. The guys there are super cool, and did work for me on the spot 5 minutes after walking in the door. If it wasn't for their extensive stock and one of their fabricators, Tim, my car would still be on jackstands. If you're in the area, I highly recommend them. Here's part of the 3" intake system they built for me...See down below for the final product:

I got tired of pushing my dipstick out at the track, so I picked up a -10 AN valve cover a while back. I was using a cheap Ebay catch can temporarily until I found something I liked better. Well, here it is:

I finally finished up the most recent round of improvements to 1837. I pulled my built motor last fall to do some more upgrades to it, which sparked this whole ordeal. The built motor is getting more built...It's getting some Eagle H beam rods, and some other odds and ends to reliably sustain more power in the long term. In the short term, the original motor went back in, which brings us up to now. Below is the culmination of about 9 months worth of work (@ old man pace). I've updated the mod list in my showcase to reflect all the new additions to the car.

For starters, I think the Work wheels look a thousand time more pimp than the BBS LMs I had did:

Again, BIG thanks to Tim at Mandrel Bending Solutions for fabricating most of my 3" intake:

Here's how some of the harness work tuned out. Thanks to Brad for his advice during this job, and supplying some new connectors:

Mounted all the important shit together:

New catch can:

Overall, the car is looking and running good. I have some more little stuff to do, but if all goes well I'll have it out a Capitol Raceway new weekend. Thanks for looking.

Glad to help, I hope it lasts as well as it looks. I like how you added a little heatshrink over the back of the connectors/terminal on some of these. It looks good!

Props bro. Clean job. Not hacked together and your love shows through.
Looking great!
