paired with Manley tt extreme duty pistons...
Mechanic didn’t lock the cam gears when he cut the belt cussing the tension to pull the cams. Bent valves? He called me after cutting the belt to tell me this but now he’s saying he pulled a pulley off which caused the belt to slip. It’s bs I’m suing the guy most likely. Whats the percentage of...

Update: how much would just the rust repair no paint work cost? For good reliable work of course. I know the rust work is possible if taken care of now by the right people. This car has a lot of sentimental value to me so I’d like to save her.

Posting for a buddy:
I have a 99 Gsx. Installed a TD05H turbo and the oil return does not match up. The flange is too big for the new turbo. Has anyone ran into this and what is the solution?
I have the big boy mishimoto 4” intercooler and was curious if any good rated muffler shop could do the intercooler piping? I plan on getting a stainless 3” turbo back so I could do the same with the intercooler piping? When I get that sent in. Also curious as to how much power my gsx could run...

bought this turbo off a guy on marketplace, he said that it was like new and had no play whatsoever. clearly he was lying but whatever. i paid $650 for it flat so i think i might be ahead on the deal. as you can see there is one spot where the blades are touching the housing and its starting to...
98 GSX at 74k miles slight rust damage. i do have the side panels as well as the heat shield, i just have them off at the moment. the only thing that the car needs is the hatch cargo cover thing, which i can get down the road.How bad would you rate the rust on a scale of 1 to 10. how hard...
id like to say im sorry in advance for asking a question thats definitely been asked many times before. this ecmlink stuff confuses the heck out of me but i think i have it understood for the most part now. so i have a 98 gsx which is a non eprom ecu if im not mistaken. its stock ecu. in order...
ive been doing some research and was thinking that i might consider a dog box for my gsx. i should be making 600 all wheel horsepower or a little over and was curious if a dog box is even worth it at this power lever? i do plan on making this mostly a drag car which ill drive on special...
Does anyone happen to have a stm exhaust and/or test pipe for sale? I recently picked up a down pipe which I thought was stm but it turned out to be strictly. Great quality from the looks of it and in fact it looks a lot like the stm down pipe. Anyways will this be compatible with the stm...
does anyone know if this intercooler will hold up to 600whp (3.5)? im trying to save money where i can and when theres 1k interoolers this could definitely help with that. also want to keep my fog lights. i was looking at the ets 10.5 but even that is almost $600. plus it is certified to hold up...
This might be a really stupid question but I need to know. Someone told me that my gauge cluster is NOT stock. They told me that the only year that had a oem white gauge cluster was the 99 models. Is this true? I looked around and can’t seem to find a definite answer. I own a white 98 GSX that...
im looking around at nitrous kits and was curious if a ecmlink is able to control the nitrous like a typical standalone ecu. i know that ecmlink is a "standalone" but it runs off the stock ecu so technically it is not. im curious if the link could set the nitrous to hit at a lower rpm to help...
