    This was my original Galant, a Patriot Red Pearl 2001. Bought BRAND NEW, only having 1 mile on the odometer. I went and did only a few minor mods, it was mostly a daily driver.

    Just washed and waxed. I loved that color.

    A few of my favorite pictures. Also showing custom cleared corners.

    Painted Calipers and added "Galant" lettering decals on calipers.

    Debadged rear lettering, save the Mitsubishi logo which is snapped through the trunklid. Added Weapon R muffler, which actually sounded really good with the silencer in, kinda like the Injen for the Lancers. Also pictured was the color coded rear garnish.

    Then one faithful morning at 4:30am.

    Needless to say, that was that. Thankfully these cars are some of the safest on the road. I walked out, uninjured. No one was in the other car.

    Now this what I be rockin" a 2002 GTZ. I've upgraded.

    Actually, yes. But suffice it to say these cars are built extremely well, and I'm happy to be driving another one, and more happy I was able to walk away.

    safety is always first. cars are replaceable, your life isn't.

    glad you walked out okay.

    the GTZ looks sick, cant wait 'til you drop it!

    Installed 32-way adjustable Megan Racing Coilovers.

    I have them set with about 1" of lowering at each corner. And also set to 32 on the front and 26 on the rear. I also installed a 23mm ADDCO rear sway bar.
