Finally got a GSX

[AK Maniak]

So after many months of searching and hours and hours of driving across the country I finally got a GSX.
1997 GSX completely stock except a filter and its got a 2 inch drop

How much did the GSX run you and by the way nice score and Congrats on the purchase.

yeah how much $$$ it looks pretty good got any shots of the engine bay?

 

[sharobious]

Yes...welcome back brother...I knew it wouldn't be long after you sold that other eclispe...

 

[AK Maniak]

I payed 5000 for it with 120k miles and virtually no rust. Everything seemed perfect until I got it back to where I live. Now its totally ####ed and i'm pissed and brokehttp://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/379576-new-gsx-lots-problems.html
So now i'm in college with no job and a car that doesn't work

pull the ecu and see if theres any black streaks or any black on the board as would be with a fried ecu,or just get a new wiring harness thats another option

So what is wrong with your GSX?

I'm not sure exactly but from what i've read it could be a bad alternator or battery and I blew my accessories fuse. Plus i found out i have a welded diff which makes U turns impossible

 

[907gs-t]

Did you figure out your electrical issuse?

Only a filter huh. It was an illusion. Still a great looking car for 5k. full time 4x4? How did you find out the diff is welded?

Well it felt like I was turning a 4x4 and I had a DSM'er around here drive it and he said its felt exactly like his DSM which has a welded diff

 

[streetillEagle]

My bro's 98 gst has a terrible turn radius. I can't imagine trying to do a u turn being any worse driving with a welded diff. That must feel really responsive driving but awkward at the same time.

 

[TJCTalon]

On a stock GSX you have a welded center diff huh? thats really odd. Well if you didnt know already the turn radius on our dsms suck, so u turns are already a challenge.

IMO could've gotten a much better deal than that but condgrads on the DSM none-the-less

White 2g are shexy
