A little update, sorry I'm being slow on pics, havnt been near my computer in the past couple days. Worked on the car all day yesterday. Swapped oil filter housings, installed the hks 264's, swapped some eibach springs onto some struts, redid the timing, and started her up. Ran good, cams lope nicely, but the leak wasn't from the housing. Gasket where the oil pump is, seems to be bad, so it's leaking a whole lot. Just gonna pull the motor and do all the seals while I'm at it.
hmmm.... Sorry to hear that. It drove great prior to resting, large turbo install, large turbo removal, and sitting... Maybe it was something to do with sitting there??? Hope you didn't buy the oil filter housing as I should have another and a front case or two if needed.
It would be nice to see what the car looks like clean :) Haven't seen that in a couple of years. LMK if you need any motor parts.
If I get time tonight I may be able to post some dirty pics. Don't have many though.

^^haha. Nah john I had a spare housing lying around. I'm guessing that rather large gasket just got old and failed. I have some pics just haven't gotten around to putting them up. Gonna take new ones once I have the eibachs put in and once I get around to waxxing it. That might be a little while, so I'll try and get some up tomorrow.
Oh and cut out that front piece inside the bumper, the white line piece in front of the fmic. And cut and fitted the bumper support, looks good now. :)
Cool. If I ever had the time I would have thrown the support on and definitly got rid of the center. I didn't remeber the bumper sagging until I took the dirty pics. I know my car didn't look like that, maybe I had a larger FMIC or it was placed higher to support it better. IDK, I will have to check swifty's car next time I see it.

Yea it looks a lot better. Here are some pics I took the day after I bought it, after a quick wash. Ill get current ones up, but figure I'd at least get some up.

Was it an option or something for the 2gb to come with the more aggressive side skirts and front bumper? I don't think I have ever seen a GSX with that front bumper and those side skirts.

That's factory gsx I believe. The talon 1gb came with a twist style side skirt, and a 3 hole front bumper. Most people cut the white piece out of the front (like I did). If you look at goatblowers gsx he has the same sideskirts.

I see, looks really clean though! Nice pick up, doesn't appear to have any rust which is getting harder and harder to find in MN. Plus I love when any DSM has the black painted top, I'm jealous! :)
