01 galant here to learn

[Underated]

hey everyone i have a custom turbo 01 mitsubishi galant and i'm in the process of swapping my sohc head for a dohc head from a 03 kia optima...

my head and block are off at my friends machine shop right now and i should have them back by the first week of october but in the mean time i'm here looking around and trying to learn as much as possible about the optima as i can...

here is a picture of my car in its current state:


this is what it looked like before i took it apart to build it up


Does anybody know where i can find a spark plug cover for the 03 optima 4cylinder? i've looked everywhere and i cant find one for the life of me

Kia Online Parts and Accessories Catalog

sorry i posted this in the new members section because it thought thats where it should go

that catalog doesnt have any listing for the part im looking for are there any site with aftermarket parts for the optima?

kfxperformance is the only place ive seen that has anything optima. But be warned there is almost nothing out there and itll take a long time to get it after you order if you go through kfx

I am not sure why you are badmouthing KFX.....

We have some of the stuff you need.

Your best bet on the valve cover is Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market

How am I bad mouthing KFX? Im simply stating the obvious. Underrated check the feedback forum. THere are muliple people waiting for parts and this isn't the first time.
What do I tell himm? Expect great service and shipping? When you know it would take some time to get most of the optima parts.

Oh so true...

And BTW... hey bhurlin..... I still haven't gotten a response from you.... are you avoiding having to come up with an excuse as to why you haven't sent me my Optima strut bar yet? Or are you really that busy with your 3-4 customers (average) you have to deal with each day?
