Sorry, but does that (emblem) stamped on to the grill, say, "FULL-TIME 4WD?" I dig the ride, man!

 

[GSX_TC1]

Yes it does, its the Japanese grill badge.

 

[Mishimoto]

Looks awesome! Well done.

 

[Redwood]

looks sick mike glad to see you got it all back together.. hell yea man

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

Looks amazing Mike! You have outdone yourself for sure on this one. The front end is spectacular to say the least. The grill and headlights.... The fog lights and the front mount.... And lets not forget about that lip.

 

[Mishimoto]

Do you plan on posting some videos as well?

 

[GSX_TC1]

Thanks for the kind words guys, I apprciate it. yeah theres still some some here and there on the front i dont like that i have to adjust but very small details. and as for this current setup, well i am unpleased with itnd will be up for sale shortly, things i dont like about this setup that i didnt know till after it was already finsished are: it makes you run a half sized radiator, and puts the turbo extremely close to my brande new OEM alternator, and how it wont allow me to run a front motor mount and some of the lower supports. for now she will be parked and covered up till i save up for the bigger better parts that actually allow me to run things like a full sized radiaitor, front motor mount and lower supports all while still retaining the same size turbo and even more space near the Alternator. im aiming towards the 650 mark and i do plan to post video and way more pics, stay tuned =)

Mike, that VR4 turned out really nice, good shit!

 

[PieEyedPiper]

I still want to trade and yes, I'm going to dirty up every thread you make with that proposition.
Looks great!

EDIT: Damn! quit doing things to it! Soon it's not going to be a fair trade.. but we might already be there.

got some more new parts in the mail, thanks to Stealthtt24, here's GSX_TC's Galant VR4 start up - YouTube a video of the start up, i love the way the FP2 Cams sounds }

an AFCO radiator and Spal Fan, this fixed my overheating problem thank god :grin:

 

[Mishimoto]

Awesome!

 

[GSX_TC1]

Got a few more things to add onto her exterior =)

JDM rear bumper came in, at first i didnt like the JDM rear bumper but i have to admit, it kinda grew on me. plus now i have a nice provision for a decent twin tip exhaust. I paid a bit more to have it shipped unfolded because i didnt want to have to deal with using a heat gun again and heating the edges back to its original form. anyways enough of my babbling here are the pics.

Even came with all the brackets, which was pretty sweet

Also got my Rain guards in, these flew in from BangKok! been lookin for these for a while.

 

[Mishimoto]

Interested to see how that bumper looks fitted on the car. The cats seem to approve.

 

[necrotopsy]

i love your car. god that is sexy.

 

[GSX_TC1]

Thanks guys, i still have about 2 more things to do as far as the outside goes, then i'll do more engine stuff. I cant wait!

Hell yeah, my baby made it into the DSMtuners.com 2013 Calendar! She's on the cover for the month of June, sweet! =)
