Sometime back in February I purchased my GS-T from this guy in Denver, CO. Purchase price of $2700 
... but at the time I didn't know much about DSMs. First off, I was told it was a GSX, with some minor issues like the exhaust rattles and blah blah blah. I test drove it, loved it, bought it. Perhaps I should have held out and learned a bit more about DSMs and their market value, but we all live and learn. Anywho. The car came with an... almost complete Blitz body kit. Decent passenger side skirt, a bit rough on custom front bumper and the driver side skirt was missing... also the driver side fender was bent.. wonder what happened.. 
.
Anyway.. shortly after I purchased it, the 16G Killer Turbo blew the oil seal and so began my trek into the DSM repair world. I took it to a local DSM mechanic and I told him about the car, the purchase etc. etc.. and he said, " Oh it's a GSX? " and he goes to check the rear diff... and of course... I felt quite sheepish when he discovered there was no rear differential.
As the car sits, it still has the blown turbo, I don't really drive it and I don't plan to until I get the 16G K replaced with a 14B I purchased from craigslist. I bought a 14B/16G install kit from e-bay with the proper J-Pipe and lower IC pipe from CXRacing ( Thanks guys! ) Albeit cheap but I'm on a tight budget. As of right now I'm just waiting on one more part to get it installed, but I have high hopes the 14B will be in soon.
Current mods: 16G Killer Turbo ( Blown )
Greddy FMIC
Turbo XS Manual Boost Controller
Aftermarket Boost gauge ( In the pillar, but had never been hooked up! )
ADR 17" Rims ( Not really a mod )
Performance Goals:
Evo3 16G MHI
Wideband
Dsmlink V3
660 Injectors
190 Fuel pump
AFPR
A different Manual Boost Controller...
Exterior Goals:
Strip the bond-o from the body from that Blitz kit
Buy new OEM front bumper cover
Replace driver side fender
Find some 2G OEM side skirts
15% Tint all around
Repaint Championship White
Repaint the rims
Interior Goals: TBD
Immediate Goals:
Install 14B MHI
Clean/Spray can the side panels to match the rest of the body
OEM Bumper Cover
...and good-bye Blitz...
