Thanks guys! When did you sell your VR4? I must have missed that....

Replaced the passenger side axle seal last night at work. It was leaking, must have been damaged when we did the swapping. I'm going to do the intake manifold gasket as well, it has been leaking for quite some time. I still have a list of things to do/fix on the car, but it's still running and driving strong. Tore up a parking lot last night after work, unfortunetly I'm only at 11 psi on my setup, but that's only till I can get my gauge pod and install my wideband.

And fix your intercooler fool. that cant be helpin ya

The intake manifold gasket must have been leaking for a long time because I had to zero almost everything out on the translator to get it to pull without leaning out. Runs good now at 17 psi. Gotta re-wire the fuel pump before I put it back to 24 like it was.

Finally was able to get the car titled and registered. Took all week because the guy who signed it over back in 08 traced over a 6 in the date a few times so they wouldn't accept it. At least its over now, and it's all legal to drive finally. Good thing too, because yesterday I was pulled over for window tint. Told him nope, didn't know it was illegal and I didn't know what it was. He went and got his tester but for whatever reason, it wasn't working or something. He was quiet, went back to the car for a few mins. Came back, handed me my license and told me to have a good night. I laughed the rest of my way home.

Thanks Cam. The car really has come a ways in the two months or so it's been mine now. Wouldn't have been able to get it done as quick if I didn't have my friends who helped me swap everything over from my Talon.


On a side note, I rewired my fuel pump and weeee 20psi!

Stopped on my way home and took a few pics. Finally washed the Galant yesterday.

Pulled the oil pan today. Figured out I need a new oil pan to stop the oil pan leaks. This one is warped. Still, need a daily driver so I put it back on with some toyota RTV. Still leaks. Also fixed my exhaust from rubbing on the t-case and also added the right lengths to it so the hangers line up on the longer wheelbase galant. And to try and quiet the car down, welded a 3 in. flowmaster chambered muffler at the end.

.....aaaaand now the Galant's broke. Either the transfer case or the center diff gave up the ghost. The car still moves fine in every gear but theres a horrible gear crunching sound now. I wont know for sure until I get the car in the air. Luckily I was in town near work so I parked it there.

Put it on the hoist this morning at work before my shift started and pulled the tcase real quick and sure enough, the damn center diff is grinding. So now I'm on the look-out for a cheap replacement trans. :(
