Brief back story on how I stumble across the car since this really started back in 2010. I was deployed in Afghanistan OEF X and wanted to get back into the DSM scene I owned 3 DSM's prior to this dating back to 2005. It was December 2010 and I started my search mind you I was stationed in Italy so few and far between to find a GSX U.S spec. Found a bone stock 91 GSX with 61,000 miles on it in Genova, Italy. Took the 3 hour trip on a train and bought the car for $4200. The owner was from Rome, Italy and bought the car from the U.S and had it imported in 1991.
It had a few dings on the body but nothing serious ( still haven't done any body work to it). Started out with basic mods and maintenance FP manifold, EVOIII 16G, Megan Exhaust, SAFC2 and MAFT-T.
Then the performance bug hit me a few months later and I started ripping the car apart. Basics like removing the A.C stuff, realized I wanted to tune the car myself so I bought V3 link for more control went to speed density and put some 272 cams in it and 650cc injectors. Had a cheap ebay intercooler on it for a little while and just had fun with it for the next year.
I will continue to upload the photos I have throughout the years as I built it up to where it is today. The goal for 2018 is to have the quickest Automatic HX40 powered DSM. From what I have gathered Beans Benes ran a 9.5@145 with his auto HX40 at around 2700LBS. Catching Dave Ruby's 8 second passes is a very tall order and I honestly don't see anyone touching it.
