Today was a nice day, so I thought I'd get started on the galant. I ended up having to give it a jump as the old battery wouldn't take a charge. I cranked her over for 10 seconds or so with the MPI out and PB blaster down the cylinder walls to get her all lubed up. I put the plugs back in and crossed my fingers that the gas from 2008 would start. She cranked a bit without a pop. I tried her again with my foot to the floor. After 3 or 4 seconds she poped up to 3 grand. I let her drop down and she idled smooth. I didn't want to tempt fate, so I shut her down

Now I just need to swap the timing belt, move the battery to the trunk, replace my UIC pipe( currently made of PVC ) After that I should have her on the road!!

Hell yea I can't wait too see it on the road..

Yeah!

Glad to hear it!

great news NC!

I've Been getting the itch so more power to ya man.

I've got a good used side-post battery from a Yukon if you want/can use it, in good shape only a year or 2 old. $50, was 80 new i think

I ended up buying one for 65. I was happy to start the car right back up on the new battery. I found my plates tonight. Complete with the 2009 sticker they have never been taken out of the plastic. Looks like a trip to the DMV is in order. I think I can get her to my buddy's 3 blocks away with just a plate swaped off the wife's car. I'm hoping to move it tomorrow night. With any luck I can get my timing belt swapped and everything put back together by the end of Thursday night. The weekend I'll be out of town, so I'll have to try to get as far as I can next week.

Glad to hear your getting it back on the road!

Literally. I drove it 6 blocks earlier!! 7psi felt so good

I got 75% of the way through the timing belt job and the tensioner shaft snapped off in my hand. I've never had that happen. Patterson353 is going to hook me up with a spair.

man, bad dsm luck all around. hopefully a bad start to the year equates to a good rest of the year, get the bad stuff out of the way!

Get her fixed and get her out. Beautiful driving weather. Starting to wish I hadn't sold mine....

Its been a slow go. This week I got the timing belt done and the battery moved to the trunk. I've got a little putting together to do, but I think she might be almost ready for a road test/tune.

Let me know when I can come see another Galantvr4

NATHAN!!!! I need an update on the g-ride

She's resting in the drive way. I'm working on a plan to get her over to Patterson's place so he can get her running. I just don't have the time or a garage to work in.

Can't wait to see her on the road.

x2

good luck, hopefully this year leads to most of us enjoying our dsms ON THE STREETS again....

Mines been on the street since '07

thats cause you dont ever do shit to it.... that things been in the same running condition for like the last three years... i always mod mine, and yes i sell them but atleast they dont stay stock... COngrats on a daily driver though..

everyone else, get your asses in gear and lets have some dsm gatherings this year... including me and others who dont show to often.

Aww don't be mad... mine runs just fine.. I'm sorry you can't seem to keep one running worth a shit

lol. One of these days I might end up with a DSM. Still would love a Stealth R/T some day. Until then, guess I'll have to settle with turbo'ing the stang, which I hope to have done by mid summer.

sell the stang and get a rt/tt

Has Denny sold the white one yet?

ya to someone in saint loius

Hell yeah! I hope to be around this summer with a solid 11 second DSM so let's make this happen.

The best thing I have discovered in the whole DSM thing is everyone is willing to help a fellow DSM'er out.

Let us know when you get it over to Brent's if you need help!

Hell yea let us know.. I've been wanting to see your gvr4 since you got it

yeah would love an rt/tt. Unfortunately the stang will need more work before it can be sold for enough to get one lol.

though likely if it ever gets sold, i'm buying a late model. gettin too old for performance on the street, and lots of dirt tracks in the area.
