Texas DFW here! Just found we had our own category now!
Been here almost a year and I absolutely love my Galant. Looking forward to mods and track days.

Feel that. Mine is in winter storage till April while I amass parts.

So far the parts pile is:

Plastic case ECU
Defi BF boost gauge and Fahrenheit oil temp (using for trans)
Non-MMCS “carbon” dash
Trans cooler
Trans cooler thermostatic bypass
Evo 9 Brembos
FL knuckles
CF engine cover
And probably some stuff I’m forgetting.

I threw a set in the bin back in 2016, damn waste. Still mad I gave in to my buddy’s pressure.

Keep an eye on yahoo auctions. If you can find an exporter that will strip them for you it’ll save shipping. I got mine for under $100 for the pair, even came with some goodridge lines. But “my exporter” is one of my best friends so it helps keep costs down.

I've been told by some to avoid and some that they have had great business lol.
He is banned from here (for over a decade) and a few Facebook groups. He has a history of scamming people that dates back to 2010+

I have personally had him try double the cost of postage after getting a quote and then paying. Once I asked for a refund he tried to take circa 30% off in "fees". Luckily, I paid via PayPal. He sent plenty of abuse and absolute nonsense in the PayPal case and to the email I paid with.

Good to know. I'm rather savvy with hunting down parts myself luckily.

I’ve had one expierence with him. I don’t particularly like dealing with people who act like I should feel honored to give them my money for overpriced used car parts.

Yeah hes a knob head. Very dishonest.
Case in point he advertises a used manaual gearbox hangar mount for like 300nzd plus shipping where you can buy those mounts brand new for a fraction over 150nzd. Charging double the price of new for a worn out 2nd hand old part.
Unfortunately because hes been banned for sooo long the newer memebers coming in from the usa and the likes have no idea to avoid him
