update: picked up a 97 GSX and while looking at it, I thought I've seen the car before.. Turns out it's Blakes old one! Guy he sold it to blew it up, then sold it to a guy who did a 6 bolt swap but couldn't get it started.. and now I have it!
Plan is to swap my stock block in and put the head from this one on, throw link at it and drive it though the winter or sell it.

So funny you bought my old car

Well I have all the parts needed to finish it up! Block goes to the machine shop this week I'm hoping. I also picked up a new resonator and tip for the exhaust to hopefully get rid of some of the rasp and quite it down.. also installed my launch control device and HBC in the cockpit. Got my new bov welded on and picked up a 2gb eclipse front bumper (since I love the way they look) and a set of 2gb headlights to go with equipped with hids.

Can't wait to start putting it together!

Little update.. Took everything to work and got every last bit of the fire extinguisher powder off. It made a mess and was in every hole/ crevasse. I also decided to get a Kiggly main girdle this go around with a new (reman) 150amp alternator. Just waiting to hear back from the machine shop so I can order my pistons and injectors.

Block is still at the machine shop. Got my alternator wired up with some 2gauge awg and a 150amp breaker. Next is the inline fuel pump with a Hobbs switch.

Almost assembly time! Machine shop is honing the block then I can order pistons. Until then I have started to build a new coolant reservoir and catch can.

Injectors and pistons showed up today! Went with the 2g wiseco hd's with the e85 coating and a set of FIC 2150's. I believe I now have everything to get it back on the road!!
