Galant vs Protegay

Its been a while.

So i'm driving down the main drag in the G-lant and some highschool punk pulls out of the crappy autoparts store in town (Autozone). Tires squeeling the uberness of badass he pulls up next to me. Of course i give him the look of impending doom that is often mistaken for the look of "what the hell are you doing?" I pull ahead in traffic and he ends up behind me at the next light. I get going and the lane ends that i'm in so i go ahead and pull over with about 700 yds to go. i see his protegay screaming up in my rear view. downshift into second and get boost going. mmmm boost....

the kid gets up next to me as i shift into third. i look over and he's freaking out because of the sound my poor car made. starts yelling "Is that thing boosted?!!?" my passenger window doens't work though so i blow him off and turn off at the next light and i can hear him honking to get my attention still.

update on the car: installed a act 2100 kit and it still leaks a quart of oil every 75-100 miles. i'm sitting at 10psi right now but i'm turning it up when i get the oil leak fixed.

I'm running more boost than you...

And are you outa Como still? I'll be heading up that way in November, we need to chill again, and I need to check out the DIY job as you have it finished. Otherwise, good kill, and hows about you stick around for a bit?

Turbo Galant....nice sleeper.

Nice, make sure you take care of that leak though...

Turbo Galant....nice sleeper.

VR4 Hybrid sleeper...even better.

^^yep. i love those things. too bad tos hard to find thouse in good condition.

Well, under the assumption that Matt is gonna disapear againg, I'll clarify.

Started out life as a Galant GSX. Swapped in a 4G63 and some other goodies from a Galant VR4. We also spilled coolant all over his driveway at one point.

Hence, I here by dub it, Ye Old Galant GSXR4...or not.

That's really catchy if I must say so myself.

i like it, GSXR4 it is then, though that does make it sound like it is a bike.

i'm at a loss on the leak, i've replaced the rear main which is where i thought it was originally coming from however it did not stop the leak. I did not know though that i wasn't supposed to run synthetic oil until 3k miles after the build, so i need to drain it and put 20-50 back in. I think i might just replace the oil pan seal anyways just to see what it does for me, and if that doesn't work, then i'll keep adding oil until i can't afford it anymore.

or if anyone wants it i'll sell it for 4k.

mbc, ported 14b, k&n 2.5 tbe, afpr, act2100, lsd rear. all i need now is a chip and injectors.

Cassie wtf did you get? i see a mazda symbol and boost. i'm thinking fd? that is completely sick if you have one, and you can just give me a call when you want to hang out. i work a lot, but i think i can squeeze you in.

God I wish I picked up an FD. Are you kidding me? Seeing how close I live to Kahn. Street port 13B REW+Single Turbo+Steve Kahn=FTW.

No, I picked up a Mazdaspeed3. Needed a daily driver that was reliable but easy to make quick, and that was the only thing that kept me away from picking up one of the local FDs for sale. I was seriously looking into an F Body...till I took a test drive, and not a single Pontiac dealer would budge on their GTO prices (WTF?). Don't bother me that much, a few bolt ons and I'll be perfectly happy where I stand for now (famous last words).

Oh, and I won't buy your car...but if you got a boost gauge, oil pressure, and oil temp gauge handy, I might take them off your hands...
