    50 bucks takes it. it's in great shape. I ran it when I had a stock engine, stock turbo no abuse. The photo is before I wiped it down, if you want a current picture let me know if your actually really interested.

    Hells yeah! I should have both of my cars back up by then! It's always good having an excuse to go drive cars somewhere.

    1991 GSX Rally Build (Project Rally Beater, Production GT?)

    LOL, it's fun and mostly harmless. The money isn't a big thing, it's mostly being able to do 99% of the work yourself. Most people have to pay for a trans rebuild etc. I just do it in my garage in my free time. But the time is the big problem lol.

    1991 GSX Rally Build (Project Rally Beater, Production GT?)

    That's like entering LMP 2 with an under developed car and being a lapper. Been there, isn't fun. I can vary my entry a bit without changing prep. A large percentage of the rally drivers don't even go flat in their overdeveloped cars. They get scared and lift on the straightaways. I will stick...

    1991 GSX Rally Build (Project Rally Beater, Production GT?)

    I do want trophies, But I also don't want to try to go up against one off racecars in Open. Have you seen some of the open cars? On the surface they look like regular STI's and evo x but they are pretty well developed with a shit load of money into them. I don't really feel like going out and...

    2G Transplanting 2G Timing Belt parts to 1G?

    I am 100% on the cams. Just as long as they are turbo cams in the 1g they are 0.010 more lift than the 2g. I double checked with the build list on road race's site.

    2G Transplanting 2G Timing Belt parts to 1G?

    It's been a while since I did the swap, BUT I know the tensioner is different between 1g/2g. The other thing I am questioning is the tensioner pulley, the one with the snake bite holes. If your 1g cams aren't rusted measure the max lobe thickness and compare to 2g,iirc there is like 0.020 more...

    1991 GSX Rally Build (Project Rally Beater, Production GT?)

    I have most of the small bits, and yes I know how much it will cost. I built Grand Am race cars for a living till 2008. Hot bits are 3200, Rear subframe bushings are on the bench, control arms are on the bench, 4 bolt diff is in the garage. I am selling one of my precision rifles to pay for the...

    Where the hell sells ACL Duraglide??

    Why are you worried about using the race bearings? In most circles a 16g in a 2.0 liter is race oil clearances. Generally you don't want much less than 0.002 oil clearance. With the stacking of tolerances you can lose up to 0.001 in crank variation and twist under boost/ high rpm. I rock the ACL...

    1991 GSX Rally Build (Project Rally Beater, Production GT?)

    My 1991 GSX has been a tale of highs and lows over the last 2 years. (I guess that is the way of the DSM guy) I bought the car from a friend in Norcal. Within the first month I owned it the hood latch failed and smashed the hood into the sunroof at about 45mph showering me in glass and searching...

    Valve cover color effect on heat and power

    Scientifically there is marrit to the black surfaces absorb/ and disapate heat faster than other colors. However most of the paint people use actually insulates more than it radiates all things being equil, GE makes some paint that is more efficient but it hasn't been comercially available in a...

    Valve cover color effect on heat and power

    I don't think people understand how heat transfer works. The valve cover, cover for thermal issues is about the dumbest thing I have seen. For that to be effective in ANY manner, it's probably more for keeping water out of the spark plug galleys so you don't have a misfire with a vented hood...
