Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

I'm jealous of the stoptechs for sure...

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

jesus h. what a restore.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Yeah, I try not to beat around the bush too much. Currently I am a decent intercooler setup, turbo, Evo brembos for the rear and Non ABS proportioning valve from having everything I can think of...Well to make it run decently at least. Next spring I am hoping for. I try to take my time and do it once.

Rears are done now. Fronts will hopefully be painted later this week. Yes that is my toilet and bathroom sink. Only place I could find where there was enough light to see them.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

your on rkc also right? i like the car man looks good

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

looking good! dyno day?

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

I am on there, don't post too much. Most of the meets and stuff are just too far for me to make it out, so I just post from time to time.


311, I wish I was going to make it out for the dyno day. I still have a ton of work to do to this thing before it is road worthy though. New carpet and dash, decide on a new turbo, buy said turbo, new intercooler and maft setup and then get it tuned. Probably next spring's dyno day. I might still make the drive over there. I think HIN is the same day and I want to check out some friends cars and see hot women all over the place too.

One of the fronts, just need the high temp satin clear to show up. Then I will be done with this.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

looks good

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

PUT THOSE ON! I want to see what black calipers look like!

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Should be on either this weekend or next. I just want to make sure the fronts clear my wheels, which they should...But you know how that crap goes.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Damn that looks really good! I love the color combo you got. You should post a few pictures showing the whole side of the car, both the front and rear wheels together.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Well, the car is still stuck in the garage otherwise I would. Otherwise the best photos of it are on the first page. And my garage is pretty small so I can't stand back any further than the wheel pic to get some pictures.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Those rotors look beat up. Can you turn them (if its even needed) and I'm sure new rotors are $$$.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

It's just surface rust.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

they will look green. duuuuuhhh

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Those brakes look really good! Should be an amazing car when you're done.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Thanks!

Although I will probably send them out to be powder coated eventually. The paint isn't curing like it should, a month later and a cycle in the oven and it is still really soft. Actually behind the spoke on my wheel is a pretty nice gash.

Intercooler came from ETS, they however forgot to anodize it. Should be back next week or the week after and then it is down to picking a turbo and putting the new engine in.

I am thinking a Borg Warner S258/S259 or 35HTA...Leaning towards the BW now.

Oh and my Nardi steering wheel came in as well.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

So with the borg warner, that's gonna have that BEP exhaust housing on it right?

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Yep. Halon on here I think was looking for info on them a while back. He had a pretty good sized post on here about them as well as on the link forums. There are quite a few posts on tuners about them as well.

ETS. This is a thick ass mother fucker too.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Nice, like the black.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

I do too. Tom at ETS left ETS the day I put in my order and forgot to put in that it was supposed to be anodized so I had to send it back to them and just gt it back in time for the car to be too cold to work on.

New seats again.

Now the snow needs to melt so I can haul it out to a friends and drop the new engine.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Wow, nice seats!!

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

It's pretty obvious to me now you're a fan of red + black

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

I did rock a pair of black and red Jordan's back in the day.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Front mount is mounted, not much left of the stock front bumper either. Car itself is under the knife. I hope to have it out on the street by wednesday at the latest. We'll see how that goes, 4 projects do for school in the next week so it is a pretty big hope at the moment. I will try and get some pics as well.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Pics!!!

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Love the IX seats!

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Me too!

I got them from Ron at RS...He wants them back pretty bad.

I will get some pics sooner or later.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Well, I took quite a long time off from working on this thing. It runs. Sort of. Has a pretty bad boost leak. Been working on sealing up EVERY possibility from that front. Couldn't get it to hold a lb of pressure. Redoing all the gaskets and injector seals as well as a FIAV block off plate. Hopefully should seal it all up. Hope to have all that done this weekend and possibly get Ryan to bring over his compressor this weekend and get rid of all the boost leaks once and for all. If that happens I need to pick up a new battery and start saving for a tune. And put the interior back together. We shall see. Still skeptical. Most of the parts in this thread are still relevant. Although I am just going to run the Evo III 16g for a while once it is actually running. Would rather spend turbo money on getting the body cleaned up and repainted.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Let me know when you are available man. I will get the compressor over.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Sunday afternoon?

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Did you ever get the black dash in it

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Not yet. That is the last of the things I am worrying about right now. I want to do that and the carpet all at the same time. But getting it running properly is top priority. Got pissed off at it and haven't touched it for a good year to year and a half. Did get all the pieces to make the whole interior black and need to tear out the headliner to make re-cover it and make it black as well though.

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

This car looks uber sweet! Man i like how everyone or most people that have projects going on are focusing on visual things as well really nice!

Re: My restoration of a 2g GSX
 

Well, started the car for the first time in about a year and half today. Fired right up. Can't get it to rev past 4.5k. Has some idle surge issues as well I need to sort out. Ryan brought over his compressor. Found one boost leak, leaks pressure slowly out now but can't find any others. Kind of annoying. Charge piping is all good. Throttle body is all good as are the injector seals.
