Either way, it looks great man!

nope, is just like every ES on the street. nothing has done to engine yet but the exterior is a complete super vr4 conversion. the front BBK is rotora and the rear is the brembo 2pot caliper from a evo 9.

I don't think its so much about as performance, as he said its his daily driver, but more about adding some styling cues as we can see here. He did some good work, got some good rims on it, nice clean paint job and a subtle drop and it looks very classy. I've always thought it had a nice shape and good lines for a sedan. Kinda like how people will add some styling cues to a Lexus, just not near as expensive

But as I mentioned in my last post if it were an older VR-4, it would have had a 2.0L Turbo putting out 200hp as in 91-92...I imagine you could swap a DSM GS-T engine into it...but as any unconventional swap, it would cost some dough.

Hey, the USDM Galant is not even consider a sport car but in Japan it's a AWD v6 twin turbo (3000GT engine). I could have just traded it in and get an evo for the amount I spent on the body and paint but I love the style of the body and will never get tired of it. There is nothing special under the hood but the Evo’s engine parts are interchangeable. For about 20K it could easily be converted to 5-speed, 4g63 evo swap and AWD. To me this car has a lot of potential

I never thought a galant could look so good. Nice ride. I remember when I saw the evo swapped one in a magazine, I didn't even think it was a galant until I read the article, lol.

I totally get the need for a DD as I'm about to purchase one myself. But why modify it at all.. ? Why not just leave the "crappy car" if you will, stock. Why not just use the money to make ur Z that much better? I never really got why pol waste there money on there beater. I understand some ppl have enough money to afford two nice cars but I wouldn't say the galant qualifies as such.

Regardless, it is a nice looking galant.
