Goonie’s 90 GSX

[goonie90gsx]

Been a little while again since I’ve updated. Managing two shops has my free time a bit tied up these days! But I finally got a twin disc clutch for this upcoming race season thanks to my amazing fiancé. Should be getting the clutch and my new built bottom end in the car asap then it’s party time

Well figured it’s time for a decent update so here we go! Over the weekend the old trusty stock bottom end 4g63 was retired making way for a new built engine and much needed twin disc clutch! Huge shout out to @mikEclipse99 for lending me a hand and letting me use his badass shop and lift. See you at the Shootout

Big update day!! Got the new built motor together today. Unfortunately I had a money shift last year and knew the head needed some attention. I ended up finding 3 slightly bent valves so I rebuilt the head so it’s all fresh for the new set up. Hopefully starting it this week shootout scramble a bit but we got this! Thanks again for helping @mikEclipse99 can’t wait to see us both go fast here in a few weeks

Hell yeah man you were the first person I've met at the shootout about 14 years ago. Thanks for the barbecue friends ever since

Picked up an S90 throttle body for Christmas got it all on and mocked up I’ll prolly end up making a cleaner one piece upper intercooler pipe but this will work for now I’m ready for spring to hit the track!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Another quick winter update while we have quite a few inches of snow here in Ohio right now. My good friend Zak at Full Send Motorwerks powder coated my Rota Slipstreams Kingsport Grey. Which is a color I’ve had in mind for them for a long time I am beyond stoked on how these turned out for my street wheels pics don’t do justice on how the metallic pops in the lighting!

 

[92AWDHX40]

Yes and yes sweet ill see it in person in September at the shootout.

The s90 is a nice throttle body but they leak like hell out of the box. I offer a rebuild service that fixes the issue. If you are interested let me know.

I got this one off my buddy he already rebuilt it. But if I have any leaks with it I’ll definitely hit you up!

Shootout 2025 photo dump! As some of you may or not know I was in the hospital and diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in July. I had pretty bad double vision leading up to the shootout and wasn’t sure if I’d even be able to race. Well thanks to the help of my amazing friends and family we were able to get the car tuned and done in time! I ran personal bests in every area on the new set up and couldn’t be happier with how the car performed all weekend outside of breaking an axle Sunday it performed flawlessly so here’s the pics of my amazing time!

 

[goonie90gsx]

Had my first MS treatment yesterday and surprisingly I felt fine this morning so I got to work on my car. Installed my new Boosted Fab mustache bar I got at the shootout (shout out to Trevor) and replaced my broken axle good lookin out @mikEclipse99 till I get some of your secret axles. Of course one of my subframe nuts stripped out in the process but thankfully the local Ace hardware had fine thread m14 lock nuts in stock good to go. Hopefully hitting the next local track event at Dragway 42 to hit another personal best stay tuned! Check out the shootout axle carnage at the bottom
