This is the build for my 1995 GSX. Before I begin talking about it though, a little history might bring the build together more. Lets start with my former car.
I was in love with my red 1995 GST and planned on keeping it and doing the AWD swap because I hated FWD. I bought all of the swap parts except for the transmission. I started collecting parts like fuel setup, turbo, ecmlink, etc. It was super clean for having 190,000 miles on it and ran perfect. Never had a problem with it the whole time I owned it. It had a few bolt-ons but nothing major done to it.
Here it is shortly before I sold it
What it looked like when it left my house
Sometimes I think I should have just kept that car and done the AWD swap but then I consider how much I like the GSX and I change my mind..Now, a little about the GSX since that is what this build thread is even for.
A local guy owned the GSX and I knew a little about it from friends and such. 50 trim turbo, cams, gram lights, lowered, looks amazing, etc. Well one night sitting at Hooters, a friend mentioned that the guy is trying to sell it and I immediately became interested. When I got the guys number I never really thought that a week later I would own a new car. Talked to the guy that night and got the low-down on the car. 1995 GSX with 115,000 miles and a fairly new paint job. It had been sitting for a good while and was recently moved to the guy's friend's house because it was about to get towed from the place it had been at. I went to look at it on a snowy day, the car was covered in snow and sure enough it wouldn't even start. He said the e85 was probably bad since it had been sitting so long. The front bumper was taped on and there was barely any interior in the car. Inside was trashed, no headliner, carpet, nothing. Had an aftermarket sunroof in an original hard top car (Probably the most saddening thing about the whole car). The turbo had no filter on it and therefore had some shaft play and the HID wiring was a mess. None of this bothered me though; I was infatuated with the car for some reason. I should have just walked away then but I couldn't, I wanted the car. Now you may be asking yourself why I was stupid enough to buy this car, let alone pay $4500 for it. Well, because underneath all of its problems, it had a good amount of cash in it, with many of the parts on it things that I already had and could then sell and make back my money.
Here is what was on the car when I bought it:
Turbonetics T3 50 Trim Turbo (Already had H1C)
Turbonetics T3 Manifold
Custom 5-bolt O2 Housing
3" Turbo-back Exhaust
1050cc FIC Injectors (Already had 1200cc RC Injectors)
Aeromotive AFPR (Already had)
255 Walbro Fuel Pump (Already had)
Gram Light 57c wheels (Had wheels on the GST)
Tokico Blue Shocks and Springs (Had Tein SS Coilovers on the GST)
HKS 272 Cams
Greddy FMIC (Had a VRSF FMIC)
Greddy BOV
Ecmlink V3 (Just bought, came in 2 days before I bought the GSX)
Speed Density Setup
Double Synchro 1-2 by Jacks Transmission
ACT 2600 PP (Already had same PP)
ACT Street Disk (Already had Southbend Clutch)
Rebuilt Head 10k ago
1G CAS
AEM Uego Wideband
Autometer Boost Gauge
Shaved spoiler, wiper, and antenna
I think that pretty much covers the majority of parts on it when I bought it. I sold my nearly stock 190k mile GST for $4,000 and bought the 115k mile GSX with mods for $4500. As you can see, I had quite a few spare parts and ending up selling some to recuperate my money. I then sold Ecmlink w/ ECU ($525), the Greddy FMIC ($250), and 255 Walbro Fuel Pump ($55) for a total of $850 which covered the difference in the car price and the taxes on the GSX. I then had a spare clutch, AFPR, all awd parts, and turbo. I swapped out the suspension from the GST to the GSX and then bought stock wheels to sell with the GST so I could keep my aftermarket wheels. So began the journey of fixing the numerous problems with the GSX and greatly increasing my knowledge of DSMs.
*I do want to note that my plans have changed while I have owned this car, and I think you will be able to see the direction I am going with it. I want it to be different than most other DSMs...not something just to go fast but to look good while doing it. I have also recently decided that at this time in my life (this being my only form of transportation), I don't need something that has partial weight loss at the cost of losing comfort parts. This is the reasoning behind adding a few things at the most current part of this build thread.
