Hi there

[Palmz]

Heyja from Iceland Im new to this forum but im not new to galants ive owned a usdm galant fro about 5 years love it and i bought a 2000mdl jdm 2.0l 5spd galant not so long ago.

now im in the progress of getting a vr4 engine with the rear diff and transmission and stuff its basically a front clip anywhozys i was wondering since i dont get the rear subframe nor the rear cv axels could i get these items of another car say like an eclipse? or something like that. i can fabricate alot of things but a cv axle and bearing aint one of them.

thanks in advance.

I guess i forgott to say that its a 8 gen Galant

Hi Palmi, /Welcome2 hope you enjoy your stay, as for the subframe etc I can't help, but I'm sure someone will be along soon who can.

Hi and welcome to ClubVR4

Unless the car is already 4wd, its a lot of work to convert it. The floor of the car is different as far as im aware, so you would need more than the subframe etc.

i know for a fact that a eclipse subframe will bolt on a usdm galant u dont know if the jdm is any different. and really im kind of expecting i will have to modify my own subframe for the diff im not worryd about the subframe as much im worryd about the cv axles and wheel hubs that go on to the axles in the rear. so im kind of curious if i can buy a cv axle from like a evo or something more common like that and it will fit the VR4 diff

and please, I know this is allot of work but that's what makes it fun ive actually done harder things on stupider cars sooo....

Welcome Palmi. Funnily enough I've just been reading this thread. http://www.thegalantcenter.org/showthread.php?47689-First-USDM-8g-AWD-swap-Completed

Thank you ive read that post. i know everything can be made to fit but what i want most of all is to make it look as much oem as possible my plan C is that ill have to weld up a bracket for a eclipse diff and make that all work but i would like to use a vr4 subframe later and like i said make it look as much as it would from the factory that i can
