97 GSX -The Rebuild

[mark4g63t]

Put some fresh 93 in it and it started right up! Need to get a couple gaskets for the exhaust and put the suspension back in. Also got an axle and ac bracket. Should be driving soon

Almost everything in the front end was loose so installed new wheelbearing hub assemblies, upper control arms, both lower control arms, outer and inner tie rods, axles and sway bar links.. will be ordering link this week for it with a eprom ecu.

Having an issue with it not wanting to go into gear with the car running. Adjusted the rod on the master all the way out and it was able to go into second. Thinking either the master is bad or the trans needs to be dropped to shim the pivot ball and check step height.

I'm going to guess step height at this point. There shouldn't be a need to shim the ball if everything is correct, that was a bandaid fix at best.

Step height is what I'm thinking.. I can watch the fork move a good bit, but it still needs wants to grind to go in.
Going to try a different flywheel tonight.

Another DSM "saved" from the previous owners hack job/ neglect. Just need to throw the front bumper and hood on then the rear seats and center console in. Going to work on the base tune tonight.
