1G GSX vs 2G GSX, what parts cross over Options

[SCCA Stang]

hey guys... in my quest for a more reliable car to get... I have come up with something that my wife will let me get.... a 2G GSX.

I haven't yet found a suitable car to buy, but I am trying to figure out what parts I would be able to swap directly over to a 2G from my current GSX.

so far the parts that come to mind that will go directly over are:

engine dress up items
wheels/tires
MBC
turbo
exhaust header
o2 housing
catch can
144 intake pipe
3" GM maf
optima battery
CD player
1G intake mani
turbo timer
AFPR
injectors
fuel pump

parts that I need to find out will cross over:

shocks, struts
springs
brake rotors
exhaust
strut tower braces, front and rear
rear sway bar

if any body knows please reply here
and if anyone knows where I can find a fairly clean 2G, please PM

Thanks, Ben

that is odd because when i pulled my stock brakes off of my 92 when i did the 94 GSX brake upgrade there was a definatly difference in rotor size, but i have a 6-bolt 92 so who knows. i guess they will both work on the same caliper but i would hold your slotted ones up to a stock 2G rotor and see which ones are bigger. do you have dual piston calipers on your car?

what rotors are you using and how much were they? i need to do mine soon and was thinking about throwing some slotted rotors on my POS.

if you have a 6-bolt 92, you have a pre june '92 car..... the rotors that are on my car are post june '92 rotors.... The calipers on my car are 1 piston.... which is the difference I guess between '93 and '95.... but according to power slot the rotors are the same.....

just out of curiosity..... has anyone installed duel piston calipers from a 2G on a 1G? what other mods are required to do that if the rotors are the same???

Like clockwork, Ben comes in with yet another hairbrained idea.
What part of... Keep the gsx and race it, drive your cavi day to day to get by, don't you understand??????

Its like every other god damned month:

"Oh... Im thinking about buying an F-16 to race in, as long as my wife goes along with it, and if I can find the means to pay for it and if my beloved GSX gets sold for a pretty price, after I put it back to stock and then I might still buy an evo if she says its ok, but my nuts are in a bind and perhaps my dog will finish the peanutbutter sandwich I made with loving intensity for a big block formula one, open wheel touring sedan thats wrote extensively on my devianttuningsite"

also, BTW Dan,

this what I was asking

I haven't yet found a suitable car to buy, but I am trying to figure out what parts I would be able to swap directly over to a 2G from my current GSX.

I am only currently trying to weigh a bunch of options to find out what choice would be the best choice.....
so far I have quite a few choices, some good, some bad, some unachievable, some very acheivable, some dismissed as soon as I thought of it and some I can't get out of my head to save my life.....

it's not like I have a personal parking garage where I can park 50 of my top choice cars so I have to pick one and run with it.... if I decide that I want to something different, I have to get rid of the one I have to get the one I want.... yes I have a lot of money poured into my current GSX and thats a lot of the reason that I have a hard time letting it go for what most DSM'ers want to pay for a '93 AWD.... I also have several hours under the hood and enough time driving it that it has grown on me..... however, I know that I can not keep it forever!!!!!

so, not sure if this makes sense or not, but yes I constantly think of cars that I would like to have, but I don't know exactly what I want..... I like running my ideas by you guys though because I like the input that this board gives me.... it helps me weigh my decisions......

**hopping off of soap box**
thanks,
Ben
