Dynamic.......just an FYI from a good buddy of mine who is a DSM guy and has owned around 4 Galants:
If you know him well, tell him about the transfer case
recall. The recall says there's a bad yoke seal so
the dealer replaces the seal but the real problem is a
bad plug in the yoke splines so new seal doesn't fix
the problem. If the dealer finds that work is needed,
tell him to have them install a new yoke (which is
redesigned). Then check transfer case fluid level
every 10K miles.
Mitsu trannies don't like Mobil 1. BG Synchroshift is
safer for brass syncros. Of course all Mitsu syncros
of that vintage are shot by now anyway :/

no new pics on this post, but ive been doing a bunch of maintenance stuff to the car. i changed the spark plugs with some NGK BPR6ES plugs and also bought some MSD 8.5mm super conductor wires, swapped out the OEM air filter for a K&N drop in unit and took off the intake cover and silencer. i also gave the car a much needed oil change and bled the clutch slave cylinder because the clutch pedal feel was horrible.
i also cleaned out the whole interior, and my god did I find a lot of loose change or what!! $2.01 in loose change found all over the car!
OK...now for the good stuff
so my mod plans changed a little and I ended up ordering a bunch of parts. i didnt expect it to happen so fast, but heres what i have so far
DSMLINK (EMS)
Apexi N1 3" downpipe
Custom 3" catback
Walbro 190 lph fuel pump
Custom MBC
Ported 2g manifold
Ported o2 housing
Autometer Boost Gauge
