91 Galant VR4

You can run a 13.99 or something with passengers, so the plan would be to run with 4 people the first time down the track and see what it can do. I would like to have all the bugs worked out before the track day, at least as many as possible. As for the cams, the cam card says they should be at a 104 lob separation, that is about what they were before. I have them set to 110 right now I doubt it will need to be higher, but it can go lower if needed.

The front end of my car fell off tonight, this is about 80lbs of weight. I will be welding in about 30lbs of chrome moly and steel to replace this. More to come in the next few weeks.

Quick, make it RWD!

[turbotalon1g]

Um, you might need those things.
I think u just slowed down the reassembly process. lol

Keep up the good work. You are crazy.

[Pushit2.0]

The engine will be up here at work for the better part of the winter, so I was thinking of other stuff to do with the chassis. The goal is to have all the vital parts mounted to the frame, then make the fenders, front bumper, grill and head lights removable as 1 piece.

[TkrPerformance]

that is taking a huge step. now just post up the parts you cut off to make some quick cash

[turbotalon1g]

sick!!

[niterydr]

I hate it when cars fall apart like that!

[awd-drifter]

lego! lol. that is crazy. making a one piece front end is going to be insane.

[Pushit2.0]

I re did the front down bars on the roll cage and cut out the factory dash bar and put a chrome moly piece in its place. You can also see the upper front frame bars tie into the cage structure.





I still have a lot to do up here, but this is a good start.

Looking good, keep it up!

[Constant_Project21]

Looks like you know what you're doing lol. I'm guessing this isn't gonna be very streetable? Haha

[C3L1CA]

Thats bad ass dude!

I love coming back to this thread and seeing the progress

[turbotalon1g]

^me too.

You are gonna get rid of that third pedal too right?

uh oh, 4 guests checking this out!!

[FattyBoomBatty]

Reminds me of a soundgarden song.

street able yes, a street car no. I do plan to make it out and about at the opportune moments. I plan on going manual and awd to start and see where I go from there. All the guests are from the GalantVR4.org forms, or at least most of them.

Isn't that always the point for the last 5 years "at the right time". Hell people considered the stealth a street car, but its commute was a block!

Looking good John! Do you plan to triangulate the cross bar (dash replacement) and down bars?

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Lookin good Are you gonna do a tubular K-member too?

[Pushit2.0]

I have a lot of ideas for a lot of different parts of the car. I have also been reminded several times to keep the modification list on the shorter side to make sure it can be done in time for the track next season. So for now the K member will remain stock. I do plan to add some triangulation on most of the major intersection on the front end/roll cage. The stock frame rails are not that strong so where the new section meats the original there will be material added there also, but I could pick up the front of the car with just the box tube tacked on.
