What kind of engine work are you doing? And are you going to use my uber expense, gucci front end?

 

[Libila]

Its getting some problems fixed and some supporting mods. The body is just getting replacement pieces and paint, nothing special. I want it to look stock.

 

[sp00ln]

Are you still selling it?

 

[Libila]

Yea its still up for sale. But I figure if Im going to be driving it I might as well make it worth while. Im not in a hurry to sell it though. If someone gives me a decent offer on it then yea Ill let it go, but otherwise Ill keep it.

[Libila]

Ah... you want a "pos" galant VR4? Heh.. there's some guy in peurto rico that runs low 10s on street tires.... there's a video of it too.

 

[Libila]

I just like older cars, but I love dsms. So it makes sense.

Word.... and talk about sleeper.

Hey.. i saw you have the gauge bezzel (i think thats what its called?) How much did you get it for and was it hard to install?? Also, I dig the entennya Oh.. and I might be selling my 2g LONG RRE downpipe.. if you or know anywho who might be interested.

 

[Libila]

The bezel was really cheap, just look around on the internet. The bezel itself is easy to install but running the lines for the guages sucks. There isnt much room in there, plus the steering wheel is kinda in the way. Tell me more about your DP. 2.5 inch standard style or 02 eliminator?

Our DPs have a 2 1/2" stainless steel first bend with a 2 1/2" stainless steel flex section. They then expand to 3" right after the flex section right under the oil pan area. Why start out at 2 1/2"? If you are running on the stock O2 sensor housing, even ported it is 2 1/2" inside diameter. When the exhaust gasses are hot, they flow better, 2 1/2" is plenty for the first 12". As the gasses cool , bigger helps. By going to 3" after the flex section, we allow this expansion and also allow for better clearance at the front where room is tight. From there they are a full 3" back to the Apex 3" flange with 14 gauge aluminized steel piping. We had some Apexi flanges laser cut out of thick 1/2" steel for a good seal and fit.

Its the FWD long. If I do give it up, I need as close as the RRE price that I can get.

Would you not recommend your gauge bezzle? I kinda want to hide my gauges... it just attracts the wrong croud... ya know?

 

[Libila]

I highly recommend the bezel, I love it. I might be interested in your dp, so its got flanges for the N1?

Bolts RIGHT to it. Thats how my setup is now. When I put on the N1... i couldnt feel a performance gain.. but with the DP, the gain was CLEAR. Its a good system... it also makes your car SCREAM at WOT.

Do you know anyone who can do any custom intakes or what-not? I also need a 3'' intake Im still using my Injen one.. you can buy that too if you want!!! .

 

[Libila]

Ryan go to www.dejontool.com they make great intakes. I already have an intake but thanks. Ill get back to you on that exhaust though.

 

[gobagheera]

spooln, that was probably me you saw at the university. I have evening classes. Odd that I didn't see you. Any DSMs always catches my eye, and I'm sure I would've notice yours with the spooln sticker. Do you have HIDs or is that photoshop?

libila, too bad you weren't looking for a gvr4 about a year ago. My neighbor sold his gvr4 w/ 90k miles on it and great condition for $3500.

Yeah, I thought it was you when I saw the car. I wasnt in my eclipse at the time, rather in my bronco. I broke my wrist (just got the cast off an hour ago) so there was a long period where I wasn't driving the eclipse. Oh.. and my car does not have a 'sp00ln' sticker on it, that was photoshopped for my signature on the forums. I dont have hids, but just bright white lights - and no, that picture at the top of the page was not photoshopped.

 

[gobagheera]

Now I know for sure peregrine isn't watching this thread because he woulda jumped all over the broken wrist post. That sucks dude, at least you're better now.

Does anybody have a 14b they want to sell?

 

[Libila]

Agreed. We should rock reno this summer.

Anywho... Ill be selling my downpipe Tim. Like I said, Im going to try to get a price as close to RRE's $230 price as possible. I need to money So, if you want to take a look at it or know someone who might want it, let me know. I might also be getting rid of my Injen intake and my tripple gauge pod. Also.. if anyone can hook me up with a stock 2g GST exhaust, I can sell my N1 as well.

Let me know.

-Ryan

 

[Libila]

So your selling your car? I can hook you up with that stock exhaust and Ill buy your N1 but I dont need the downpipe. Let me know and maybe we can work something out.
