Hey everyone,
Some of you may remember me, and others may not. About 3 years ago, I was posting on here about rebuilding my 1999 GSX after my transmission spun a bearing. I wanted to put in excess of $10,000 into the rebuild, but unfortunately I lost my job and have only been working part time since November 2011. Now I am finally starting a full time job on May 1st but my sister in law wants it out of the driveway. It has 109,000 miles on it and I have about $2000 that I can spend right now. I just need her to be driveable for now.
So here are my questions:
1. Is there any fellow DSMers that may help me to get her up and running in the Central NJ/Eastern PA area?
2. After sitting for 9 months, I brought her to my local votech for the $10,000 rebuild, the transmission was pulled and it was sitting for 2 years at the school. After that, I had her towed home and she's been sitting there since, with the transmission removed. They also took the exhaust out. What can I expect to need to replace? I will detail what I know I need.
3. What I know I need: Trans, Stock Intercooler, Timing Belt, Water Pump, Battery. I have a set of tires off my stolen RSX, and the shocks are "OK". I put in a new clutch, brakes, and clutch cylinder in about 3 months before the bearing spun. Exhaust may need to be replaced as well as it has been sitting outside.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
