hey watsup guys

So after a month and a half of long hard searching i found my 1998 GST. The car has been owned by the same guy since 1998 and has been kept in really good condition. He showed me about 250 pages of receipts and documents of the work done on the car from brake jobs to motor rebuild. The cars got about 140k on the chassis but the motor was rebuilt with new pistons, new head, valves, pretty much everything. It has a brand new TRE transmission with modified syncros, heavy duty 1-2 and 3-4 gearsets and an overdrive 5th gear. It has a new ACT 2600 clutch with a Fidanza ultra lightweight flywheel. As for the mods it has a Big 16G Turbbo which is ported and clipped 10 degrees, 660cc Denso Fuel Injectors, Denso 150 LPH Fuel Pump, Super AFC, HKS boost controller, Greddy boost gauge, Greddy EGT gauge, Hks Turbo Timer, Hks super mega flow intake, dejon tool hard intake pipe, Greddy BIG front mount intercooler, Greddy type-s blow off valve (recirculated), Custom throttle body elbow, RRE catch can with breather, Magnecor Ignition wires, ported exhaust manifold, Webcam 546/547 Cams, VP 2.5 inch o2 housing, Road Race Engineering 3" downpipe, High flow Cat, Magnaflow muffler, BandM short shifter (although i dont like it at all......theres alot of play. he said its because the top part is from an old kit he had and in order for it to be better you need the stock part). The car has 18inch OZ rims with brand new tires, Tokiko illumina shocks, eibach pro kit springs, and the AEM big brake kit with 2 piston calipersw from the GSX.

The only things that are wrong with the car are
-Power steering pump Broken
-Ac does not work
-It needs a new Valve cover because the current one leaks oil from the top. Does anyone know the website where they well them powdercoated for a good price? I saw it before but can't find it now
-Tune up (Misfiring really bad)
-Timing belt Cover
-The tint on the car is horrible
-The motor rocks back and forth and shakes alot ( i think this is because of bad motor mounts)

The car starts right up but the idle jumps up and down alot and is really low, it has a cel light he said its because of the misfire. so after the tune up if its still like this then i think its got a bad idle sensor or something. When i drive and when i shift gears if i dont give it gas or shift fast the rpms drop really fast and the car shuts off. i think this is all related with the misfire/idle issue shouldnt be a big deal or hard to fix

here are the pics, enjoy :thumbsup:

Ive Been really busy with work this week haven't really gotten to do much on the DSM. But this weekend and the coming week I'm gunna get to working on the car. I might start a blog just to show the progress but for now the stuff I have to do to it:

New valve cover
power steering pump/belt
oil change
new spark plug wires
new spark plugs
front o2 sensor (ordered yesterday)
timing belt cover
motor mounts
strip the tint
get some new fuel lines
get a wideband
get a logger
get the car tuned for now


the guy gave me a logging software but it isn't compatible with my laptop. I need the 64 bit version he only has the 32.I dunno what I'm going to do about that. I do have the obd II chord to hook up to my laptop....just need to get the converter for it to fit
