    98 GSX Time Trial build

    Well, keep plugging away (pardon the pun) 😊. I like the idea of adding strain curls on the plug end. Electrical wiring takes longer than a person anticipates, always.

    2G Fetches big price

    “Parts availability (lack of) could play in interesting role in value of complete, well maintained examples.”Well maintained stockish mid 90’s cars are indeed rare.

    I hate when people part out cars.

    I like to compare it to old Mopars. I got a 1973 duster for $500 in '95. Granted it was a 6er with an auto, but guys put a $3000 small block in them give them a paint job and their worth $10k now, and rusty. My brother bought a '72 Challenger less engine and trans for about the same in the...

    Tubular rear subframe - Input needed

    Comparing your design to the 'Other Guy's' design, they are quite different in how they attach the differential to the subframe. I realize that the subframe is there to help the suspension hold up the car, and to position the rear axle under the car. Yours does this well. Realize, I have...
