hey, there nothing wrong with cars off ebay, thats were i got mine from

says it all mark. LOL

martin, if thats your car, how the hell can you afford the insurance on that, in fact how did you even get a quote??

Only group 12! 17 year olds can usually get insured on anything up to group 13 without any probs. Dunno how old martin is though.

Looks tidy mate, get some pics of it with the graphics up

im only 21 and directline would let me have a 3.0 ltr v6 406 coupe, + a galant isnt really classed a the sort of wagon boy racers tend to drive since its not a hot hatch aka corsa/nova/saxo

20 wid grp 16 bimmer. insurance companys just rape u 1nce a month 4 the rest o ur life thats all it costs 4 the pleasure o havin a fast car.

adey it deffo is my car under my own name coz i wana get the no claims goin, no point hiding behind sum1 else or you'll er have your own insurance.and besides you can afford anything if you plan ahead, yeah the graphics are the best and worst part of my car, i quickly put the silver titan one on in work in my lunch hour (thats why its wonky i guess!) but there will be pics of it 2 months on from ebay (ie now) up by the end of the week..hold on..

and yeah just for the records i was STAGGERED that it was only a group 12 insurance personally as the Mitsubishi badge prob doesnt appeal to insurance companies twinned with a twenty yr old...

Nice looking car.

here are the most up-to-date pics. i know i know about the quality, but i had to take them, get them developed and then scanned in. i have heard of technology such as a digicam but i havent got the time at the moment with work to get one!

there will be better pics along soon, anyway most of you see my car at CW meets.


















ah thank you

Cool mate, most of them things suit the car really well, not too sure about the playboy sticker lol. Also, that spoiler looks a bit too small for the car, might grow on me though.

Love the choice of alloys, again though, maybe a little too small for the car. Otherwise, looks very touring car'ish. I like

cool, thats the look im aiming for the TOCA style, iv still got time to chop and change so it wont stay like this for long...but for now yeah its my car and i like it

jus fitted a K & N filter with my own hands - 28/10/05, and off to motorworld for lowering springs and cybox for an xhaust tomorrow..should be expensively fun

tis the only way forward matey, to get what you want you have to pay. you getting full system or just back box??

lol i'll get two quotes then decide! i know a full system will be better...obviously, and i dont mind paying. But the system is only 5 years old i dont think i need to replace it yet..i'll post the quotes i get for info for ppl!!

cybox dont make backboxs FYI. they will fit them and can order them in i think as it was bought out but i cant remeber who by (it is sponser).

got a new magnex universal exhaust, gutted though because i have to get loads of universal gear as no-one seems to make galant exhausts, god knows i checked with most ppl.wanted a new full system though, date today

07/11/05

What about Ralli-Art? I think the FTO's use the same bits here and there as the Galant as well.

Cybox will fit a universal exhaust for you mate, they specalise in custom built exhaust systems.

They can either fit yours or design & make a whole new system for you, pop in and see martin.

Cybox is located just behind the Shell petrol station on Hoylake road (Near Moreton Cross) within Sprayforce garage.

There details can be found Here

:go:

whole car lowered now and universal exhaust fitted by cybox/peninsula4x4 (cheers guys!) lots of pics to come as my aerial has now gone, nothing to do with me more to do with the carwash i took it through!! like i said more pics to come...

Shouldn't laught but, silly you. did it damage the bodywork, hopefully not.

How low can/did you go. bet it makes the wheels look bigger

the only thing it damaged was my hand. sliced along my wrist pulling and twisting the remaining metal.got a nasty cut!

nah no damage to the bodywork...luckily as most of the stuff i touch seems to dent or break!

yeah my previous pst by two was a little premature, as I'm sure you have read my suspension didnt go to plan and i posted in haste and assumed the car would be lowered. Never fear though as I'm confident that by the new year it will be lowered lol, but i take my hat off to Cybox for fitting a universal exhaust!! and it does sound nice, how about a sound-off for exhaust decibels!?

next in line for me now is painting it, either black or silver or a flip...suggestions please?

Black,a very shiny black. Go for the dark look

i don't like his stickers love his car though and kept knocking my head on his interior neon it hurts ur head if u move too quickly suprised i didn't break it

sassy sam on marty's account btw

theres a neon on the roof?? please tell me your joking

lol dont worry shes joking!!

she banged her head on something else!

got the car measured yesterday - 117.8 BHP wheels, 142 BHP on the fly, not so mucha modification on teh car but i now know what exactly i'm running. The car is 134BHP standard, take a few off for old age its still a gain!

:go:

cheers peco!

yay it's my car marty u changed the spoiler yet?
