So I have several. For starters I was talking mad sh!t to guys I work with about a 97 GSX I was about to buy. So I got it from a uw student noticed the downpipe flange was missing bolt no biggythen driving it home it overheated on me. My co workers laughed when I pulled up and theyheared the "lifter tick". So I took it to a shop which noticed that my alternator was shot and wired to battery so it would run long enough to sell. They replaced my lifters and alternator..... Still ticking. Come to find out one of the rods was missing and beat my crank to death. They did a 6bolt swap, bored 2 over with J.E. 95 pistons and 1g rods and dyno tuned it to learn that the clutch can't handle the power so now they laugh still ### its a never ending project.
In the rs I owned it smoked bad, body was beat and paint was warped and stalled at every light. Changed egr valve seemed to fix it still had bad oil leak. Fixed long enough for me to sell it.
