Greetings - My car

[Jafro]

I just finally logged back in to DSMtuners for the first time in ages. Normally I run with the DSMCA crowd, and some of you may know me already. I've been a member here for years, but haven't spent much time here. I just thought I'd introduce myself formally since I never did, and to offer some kind of info or support to the group if I can.

I've never had as much fun with any other car in my life than my GSX, and I've had some fun cars. I've managed to run a 12.67 @ 107mph with a big 16g on pump gas and tuned only by analog gauges and butt cheeks. Here's are some photos of my car, a link to my web page where I documented my most recent build, and my mod list so far...

All That and just a 12 second timeslip...

Maybe you should Dyno tune that beeotch, I think you could get much better times out of it.

Nice looking ride, very clean, no rice I like it

That's exactly what I was saying when I ran that.

It's a full-interiored 3350lb car with me and everything else OEM still in it.... ABS, SRS, AC, cruise, hood, Stereo, spare, jack, etc... I know I need dyno tuning and I have no means of datalogging it. Tuning the MAFT without datalogging on a 2g is a near impossibility. I think I could improve it substantially if I had the $ for DSMlink, and a less conservative tune. It's running really rich.

I'm not into the body kit/aftermarket wing thing. I went with 2g GS wheels to try to look less fast, but the drag radials, vented BOV, IC, and the exhaust blew that one. Oh well. I like 'em a lot better than the swirlies.

It's all polished. Chrome is a heckuva lot easier to keep shiny. I won't drive this thing in the rain. You might not like that part of it.
