My restoration of a 2g GSX

[hippiekiller]

Hmm, not too shabby...Any idea what kind of power you are putting down?

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

No idea. I was gonna throw it on the rollers at the fall dyno day, but that didn't work out.

[hippiekiller]

Well I found a deal and half on some Recaro's out of an Evo, so I picked them up. Going to get the centers re-upholstered in black suede.




Also picked up a new engine for it. No pics at the current moment though.

But it has

Eagle H beam rods
Wiseco pistons bored .020 over and a 8.5 compression ratio
Butcher Crank from FFWD

Should be a good little engine for me. Also picked up HKS 272's from the same guy. So basically my hole engine set up will be new and I am also picking up a new turbo as well. It will be a whole new car when it finally warms up outside and I can start working on it again.

very nice

Alright, time for a bit of an update. To go along with the whole new engine, I figured I might as well top it off with a intake. Found this little guy on tooners.



Pretty nifty little piece to top it all off with.

I like that painted black, it looks neato.

[hippiekiller]

It is actually the hard anodized option Magnus had for a little while. I like it too.

Today I picked up the Forced Performance DSM manifold. If people don't know they are running a special on them for 235 with the heat coating.

It was a happy V day for my GSX

[TkrPerformance]

nice
that is a good price on a coated mani

[hippiekiller]

It's a steal. $253 shipped. You can't beat that at all. Made my decision rather simple.

[scheides]

Wow man you mean business! Get this thing done by our dyno day eh?

[hippiekiller]

I'm hoping to have it ready to go... Won't have the big turbo yet, just my small 16g.

im almost done but my bmw caught on fire in friday so now im without a car so im gonna pick up a turbo probe today!!!

[hippiekiller]

Sad, just give me a call when you want those head studs...I'm not going anywhere.

[hippiekiller]

mmm, stoptechs





Rotors could be in better shape, but yeah I paid 1/3 of what they cost new so I can live with it.

[Sparky2211]

So when will this finally be on the road?

can't wait.

[hippiekiller]

lol, spring? Still need my intercooler and turbo, then all should be set I think.
