Hey everyone, this is my 95 GSX, that purchased March of this 2011. When I got it, it had KYB AGXs, Ground Control sleeves, Eibach springs, Energy Suspension bushings front to rear, Stillen tower bars, and some larger sway bars. I was told they were Stillen too, but I can't seem to find any info online about Stillen sway bars for the 2G. Its got 84k original miles, and very, very minor surface rust here and there.
The previous owner got rid of all of the interior except for the dash, and a stripped steering wheel. No air bags, carpet, speakers, nothing! He was a DIY kind of person, and he custom made some sheet metal door covers, spare tire delete (he cut out the spare tire well), some under body "aero" covers, front splash guard, and some "swiss cheese" style door pans he planned to weld in.
So far I've bought an Injen intake pipe, 1g BOV, Dejon UICP, OEM side mound, OEM T25, 2GB bumpers, high rise spoiler, 2G five spokes, freshened up trans, transfer case and a bunch of other crap! Gotta love Pull A Parts, right? Even after all of the stuff I've gotten, its still a long way from being done though.
I've also had my fair share of set backs along the way. In May a small tornado touched down next door to our house, knocking a huge ass tree through our neighbor's house, and into my shed. It ended up costing me about $200 in material, and a few hours worth of work. And in all the chaos, I lost the only key to the GSX. Go figure, huh?
I was preping the block to go to the machine shop one morning. I was removing all of the freeze plugs, until I got to the trans side. Where I couldn't remove the two plugs on the trans side. So my dumb ass decided it would be a good idea to drill a hole in one of the plugs, so I could put a threaded screw in there, and yank the plug out. Well... The drill bit went straight through cylinder wall.
So then I picked up a block from a somewhat local guy. After hours of searching by the guy I got it from and myself, he found out that it is an early Evo block. So now I've got some JDM shiz yo! Or so I think...
Recently the people who own the land our house is on, decided I can't have the GSX here unless its operable. And I'm not allowed to work on it here. So its sitting at my soon to be in-law's house. And now my fiance and I are looking for a new house. And hopefully, we will find something with a garage! That's what I'm hoping for at least, haha. So its kind of on hold for now, but lots of future plans.
