Some pics of my DSM

[WolfsFang]

well here are some pics of my 95 GSX. right now its all stock with just a manual turbo timer doing nothing because i have to dyno it and adjust it. and just headers with 3 1/2" straight pipe and a 5" tip. the interior is all stock, however is just has a plug in radio face.

i wana get some ideas from you guys on what i should do. atm my first thing im getting is a new suspension because mine is 15 years old and it's showing some age.

btw this is a lil bill the shop gave me of the springs and how much it would cost to put them on.

no not yet, also i dont have a spring compressor nor does anyone around me. only person i know is my friend in Stanton island and that takes close to a hour to get there :<

What is it with everyone but me getting a white 2g -.- and trust me an hour is totally worth seeing your clean ass dropped car id say make the drive springs and struts are cake

 

[esoteric]

Not to jack your thread but someone can PM me with this answer, how does lowering go with snowy places? Can you still drive in snow with a coilover kit?

im thinking about it, he knows alot about tuners so i might make him help me out. only reason i trust him is because he has a heavily modified 240sx, some of the things he did is amazing.

I drove my 95 tsi fwd, with tein coilovers in the snow and had no problems at all, even with 1ft plus.

You can rent one at autoparts stores like autozone/oreily...

Heck i think harbor freight has one for like $25

 

[LandoAWD]

DO be careful with them, though. I've seen damage to a structure that caught a compressed stock spring when it came off the compressor...can't imagine that hitting flesh.

A 25 dollar used 1g BOV and some non-collapsing piping would go a long way on this car...

Wow, they quoted you over 1k to do ## suspension, ouch! Do as much youself as u can. What HP plans r u aiming for?

 

[Silver99OZ]

First off nice looking 2g, im a little jealous at the moment. I go to my local Autozone down here in SJ and use the free loan a tool all the time. If you have one close to you just go there and get the spring compressor, you leave a deposit and get it all back when you return the tool. You should also check out ebay for the suspension parts you want, you can find some good deals if you look for them. I got my illuminas from someone brand new for cheap, as well as my eibach pro kit.

im aiming for around 400 HP, in the end i wana take the car to a circuit track, not really into drag racing.

I really like white 2g's for some reason, maybe its the fact that they look good a lot of different ways.

yea i kinda realized that now XD

BOV and hard intercooler piping needs to be your next mods my brother

 

[2GEEZEY]

you can get a spring clamp or whatever you call them from a tool shop such as harbor freight for about 20-30 bucks.

 

[ReYnd]

Yeah... change those yourself, can't be too difficult.

Those wheels look nice too, and for a good price. I'd consider them if I didn't already have a lighter set.

 

[viperlp01]

Looks like the car was repainted... 2gb conversion on the rear and maybe the front. Any accidents in this cars history? As you can tell from my pic <<< I love white 2gs as well

 

[wkmitsu]

Please don't pay that shop to put in your suspension. You don't even need a spring compressor to do it. I just did mine two weeks ago, its not that hard.

you are right the car was painted white, from what i can tell there is no frontal frame damage. (i used a old trick to test it XD) so idk if im sure. i put the VIN on carfax and only came up with like 21 reports, what they ate idk. dont know if i wana spend 33 bucks to find out ><

[WolfsFang]

that is definitely a bill from ATX haha. I have the same exact style paper sitting in front of me. Never seen your car around, hit me up. I have a 95 with 2gb conversion as well.

Stock springs require a compressor to do safely.
