Re: Ricer Pete's Galant
Resale would be better if you kept it LHD, unless you plan to drive it in the ground  Is RHD technically even legal?

Re: Ricer Pete's Galant
yes rhd is legal. I had Ali look before I did my car
the resale will be more for a full swaped car in the end also.

You got it for free, and made it into a 20k car. I applaud you sir.
I think an RHD TT Galant would be friggin' awesome! You have Mark near you, so if you get the RHD swap, consider it done. |

Re: Ricer Pete's Galant
Since the stock engine is a 6g72, why not just swap a DOHC 6g72 TT from a 3/S or does it not fit?

Re: Ricer Pete's Galant
Go for the project! That is assuming you have something else to DD for the time being...
But yea, I skimmed over the thread so I don't know all the details, but I also agree to go for the engine swap. I'd also have to agree on keeping it LHD for multiple reasons...

Re: Ricer Pete's Galant
i guess this project is dependent on whether you have something to drive for the time being.. Also i think i would go all the way with the RHD. Sounds like you would get more value out in the long run?

Re: Ricer Pete's Galant
You could go buy the Green Dragon from Steve. Then you could keep one for getting groceries, and the other one for getting pussy.

Re: Ricer Pete's Galant
warning: long post ahead
you just have to love how life works out sometimes. its all a balance of karma, the force, dumb luck, whatever youd like to call.
ive been seriously thinking about this JDM swap for a week now. last night i finally convinced myself that if i want to play, i gotta pay.
so... after work tonight i stopped by the bank to ask them about sending the money transfer, protection, how long it takes, etc. all of the info they gave me was great, and everything was set to go. i just wanted to come home and email the seller that the transfer was going through.
i get home, and my neighbor matt is washing his car. i say "nice day for a car wash" and he replies "yeah, your car is looking pretty nice". i think to myself, you have no fucking clue.
then he says "did you get the letter about the assesment?"
everything freezes for a second, and i say "huh?"
long story short, cause i know im ranting... the city of maple grove is charging every home owner in my development $1580 to repave the streets and do some utility work.
on the same fucking day i decide to go for it, this comes around. as of right now, i have to pay the city for this. ive called my real estate broker because this assessment should have been planned, BEFORE i bought my house, and i should have been told this was pending. maybe i can get out of this.
regardless... the car is on hold. it runs, it gets me from A to B. so right now, shes going to ride pretty, but slow as usual.
im not mad, im just disappointed. life just works in mysterious ways.

Re: Ricer Pete's Galant
oh, btw the galant is still going to get the jdm front conversion done (bumper, grill, heads). the city isnt taking away my money from that.
