97 GSX -The Rebuild
Figured this could use a build thread as well, since it's getting some attention and hopefully brought back to life. I picked this car up on Monday (10/17) after looking at it the previous Sunday. Got home and started to dig into the car and after some time realized that I've seen this car before and remember Mark (Tkr) having to replace the strut tower.. thas when it hit me. It's Blakes (97gsexx) old car! Thought that was pretty funny.
Anyways I bought the car knowing it had a few issues. The guy tried to do a 6 bolt swap and said he couldn't get spark when he tried firing it up. It doesnt have DSMLink and I also noticed he had the CAS wired up to the wrong sensors so I'm thinking that's the issue. It also has some rust (none on the body) and a broken drivers door handle.
While taking everything apart we realized it had some goodies.
Apexi 3" turboback
AEM cam gears
Aftermarket cams (unsure of brand or what size they are)
Newer 6 bolt swap (said to have 10k miles)
Sportcomp boost gauge
VRSF front mount
Precision 680cc injectors
ACT Streetlite flywheel
Plan is to get it running and maybe do a 16g or 20g setup.
