Hey man, nice 33, looks good how did u get it soo cheap? unless its a auto non-turb. I got a stroked evo 8 recently. Im doing a few skidpan/motorkahna days if your interested to join in

markasia · Jul 3, 2012

GTS-4 so manual non-turbo, just needed it for work. will be interested josh, but gotta wait another fortnight hopefully for the galant to finish.

hey rooks, mostly everyone in wa will disagree, but i took a risk with rpw for my transmission work.

poor thing stuck still:

markasia · Jul 6, 2012

does anyone know if you can get universal roof racks for the galant!?!

rooks · Jul 6, 2012

these guys look pretty professional --> http://www.roofracksperth.com.au/contact.php

keen to see how you go with fitting racks on the galant!

markasia · Jul 6, 2012

doesnt seem like they have any for our model galant.

qball · Jul 6, 2012

Yes you can get them no problem, Just do a search for roof racks on the forum

markasia · Jul 7, 2012

I'm having no luck this morning, called a few places, and no luck! sigh.

qball · Jul 7, 2012

Have you searched on the forums? They have the part numbers and everything in the roof rack thread

markasia · Jul 11, 2012

Yeah i have, called the company that made them. and no luck still, even with the part number, sigh!

Updates: both new turbines were bent? , don't know how that happen, but the waiting continues. sigh.

while the galant is still in the workshop, ended up selling the skyline and picked up a mx83 cressida:

hey man, already got rid of the skyline? Damn!

Cressys are alright. Check toymods for info. 1/2J swaps are common as now and go hard in the cressys

markasia · Aug 7, 2012

hey josh. yeah someone gave me a offer on the skyline that i couldnt say no. in hoping that my galant was back on the road that week. but then no luck, so picked up another daily. lol.

joined up toymods last night, cheers, atm, no engine conversion, just suspension and some nice wheels is all thats planned =]

UPDATE: It's been over another 2 months, and the galant still isn't back on the road, another turbo blew on the dyno two weeks ago. my cressy above headgasket also failed, so the car got sold as a rolling shell, and i purchased this mira for fun as a daily for the mean time. got some 13" mesh that im sourcing out tyres atm to get it fitted.

lol you cant seem to get a break with car issues.

markasia · Oct 27, 2012
