finally putting my pics up

[poofy97gsx]

i have been a part of mitsustyle for a lil while now and really havnt been able to make many events. so i thought i would put some pics up of my car to get peoples thoughts on it. its a 97' gsx. bought it with 128k on it. had full exhaust, intake and a walbro 255 already on it. everything else since i have done. i blew the t-25 up a while ago. bought a china knock off evo3 16g from ebay and that blew in day and a half. so a buddy of mine had a 14b that had a really badly craked exhaust housing, i took the exhaust housing off the 16g and put it on the 14b. i also used the waistgate actuator off the 16g so the hybrid turbo now puts out 15psi. works prettty good. other then that i put some halo projector headlights on it and a set of 17'' motegi racing rims with brand new falken tires. can't tell ya how much i love those tires. i plan on doing a 6 bolt swap and dropping it. it also needs some body work. but im workin on it. its my baby. let me know what you think and if you have any ideas or suggestions im always ready to learn. thanks for looking.

good lookin 2gb man. I've read good and bad things about the china knock-offs...most of them bad but yeah. how many miles do you have on it currently? any leaks?

I like the color! Maroon 2g ftw.

I just rolled over 148k on it two days ago. I have developed a major boost leak recently and am not sure where it's coming from. I have checked all the ic piping and connections three times but found no problems. I'm thinking it's my smic cause it was damaged when I hit a racoon a couple months ago. So now I'm trying to find a fmic with piping but money is tight right now so it's not lookin to good :-(

Looks pretty clean from the pics! Word of advice; no more china-knock-off parts! :D MHI makes a great turbo and there's plenty of other reputable vendors here that can help you get good parts on the cheap ;) Sounds like you have the right idea mod-wise though; just keep on top of the maintenance and she'll be good to ya!

Make a boost leak tester and fix the boost leaks that way. Very nice looking car and clean all around. Check out www.vfaq.com if you have not already for much usable help as well.
