Well after months and months of deciding to part her out, then keep her , then part her out , I have decided that im gonna keep the car because i have too much time and money in it to let go to waste. Although i have already gotten rid of most of my accessories and some parts. This just means I will replace with bigger and better items.
After the recent accident of her Blowing up in my face, i have decided to finally put her back together. The damage caused by the over heating was minimal but sucked. The only things hurt by the overheating issue ( other then my Face at the time ) was the thermostat and it cause one of my balance shaft bearings to tear in half and fall out. I though it was my balance shaft that may have warped or split but when i pulled the oil pan off the bearing was laying in the bottom. There are no metal shavings ( thank god ) and im pretty sure everything else is in normal condition. I did install a new head gasket and a different cylinder head just to be safe. I should have it back up and goin this weekend, but i need to know if my turbo gismo is gonna work. If not, i will have to find me a nice 14b to use for the time being. I still have my exhaust and most of my other mods. The only things i sold were the Joe P. MBC i had and my 16g setup. Also, my headlights and my leather interior. nothing that isnt easily replaced. Ill get more into depth with the story this weekend after i get her running again.... thanks for looking...... -------------------- "One of the most Crazy and Undecisive Members in central Illinois"

GSX UPDATE 11/16/2008:
Well i spent most of the weekend putting the car back together. Got the balance shaft eliminator installed and all timing is complete. Hung my exhaust back up and installed the new turbo ( my creation for now ). The only thing i hate about the big turbos ( 50 trims, etc ) is the oil return line sucks to make and install. I also bought that badass powder coated valve cover off dakotadsm and it looks awesome under my hood. After the car is together Im gonna focus on make the engine bay look a little nicer and cleaner. I have got a big box of brand new 10mm bolts ( grade 8 ) metric thread that i have been replacing any bolt under the hood with. They look way better then the old rusty lookin bolts that are stock on our cars. Since i sold the Enkeis that i was rollin on this past summer i have picked up a set of stock 2g awd 17s that ill use throughout the winter. My buddy Tom has a very nice set of 5 Zigens that im gonna pick up but not gonna use through the winter months. So you will have to wait to see until next Spring. My plans over the next few months are to just get the 50 trim rebuilt, and drive it through the winter. next spring I will be getting another AFPR ( sold my Aeromotive ) and purchsing DSM LINK. Followed by a DYNO TUNE @ AMS. thanks for looking and wish me luck. TJ -------------------- "One of the most Crazy and Undecisive Members in central Illinois"
