Here,
Maryland
Hey I was wondering if you guys could give me some insight on my planned build.
My 99 GSX was bone stock when I bought it with ~110k on the odometer. Since the purchase I have done just about all of the maintenance on the site's Maintenance Guide save for an oil leak and some rattles here and there that should be cleared up soon. Cosmetically there's some work as well, but that's why it's a build right?
My plan is to make this car the perfect Daily Driver. Reliable, Fun, and Well Rounded.
320WHP/340WTQ on 93 Pump Gas
I'm open to any and all input to help me reach my goals safely and effectively. Again, this car will be daily driver and I am counting on it to get me from A to B while keeping the prices of mods down but keeping quality of parts respectable.
Relevant Future Mods
b16g/E316g
Thermal Exhaust
Ebay Intake Pipe & K&N Filter
Punishment Racing FMIC
Evo 8/9 Fuel Pump
880-1050cc injectors
Hallman MBC
1G BOV
Innovate G2 Wideband
Autometer Ultra-Lite Boost Gauge
UndecidedBrand Oil Pressure Gauge
Tactrix Openport 2.0 (Assuming Learning Curve isn't too high)
Misc. Future Mods
Full Stereo and Some Sound Deadening
Brass Shifter Cable and Aluminum Shifter Base Bushings (Done)
B&M Short Shifter
Energy Suspension or Prothane Chassis Bushings (haven't decided on which stiffness I want)
Undecided Suspension Setup (Looking for an affordable drop (~1.5") that can handle reasonably well in spirited driving and the occasional autocross session)
Compworks Fender Braces
Gates Racing Belts (Done)
BSEK (Done)
