T25 Gsx vs. 2011 camaro SS

If you have 5k to work with and you plan out exactly what you need to do to get as close to 400awhp, find a bent valve special GSX, buy parts from the classified ads, bargain, haggle, and bust your ass doing the work PROPERLY without half assing anything, you could win that match up... The catch? You have to take a very serious technical detail crash course in the mechanics of the car, from the ground up, and understand what is fast and what is flash and make no compromise for flash.
 
Do you want me to upload pictures of how rusted out the car was? Midas wouldnt even put the car up on the lift because it was too rusted, not to mention it was in an accident and because of the rust the entire front end was shifted to the right and the frame was bent, bad compression in cylinder 1, the entire suspension was messed up, do you want me to keep going? needless to say that gsx was at the end of its road i highly doubt the miles are even actual it says they are but its too rusted to believe it, the entire engine bay was rotted out and had holes everywhere and the rear wheel wells were rotted out, im not stupid theres a reason i sold the car

Hopefully you told the new owner about all the problems.
 
the right fender is about 3 inches more over the tire than on the left side, and ya the new owner seen all the rust i sent him pics of everything, and even tho the comp was low on cylinder 1 it still ran perfect and is a mechanically sound car, im not a fan of rust i was in over my head with the car and i want a cleaner 2g like my gst that i had thats the reason i sold it i dont want a 10 second car either all i want is something thatll run with the big boys a 16g dsm will be plenty for me i personally like a clean looking car over a super fast one that looks beat but everyone has their own style you know?

What a freaking waste of time, I thought when I got to the last page there was going to be a video. Or at LEAST a race.
 
Alright, well you have 5k
IMO this is what you're gonna want to look at:
an Eagle Talon TSI AWD 5-speed
at least rebuild/built trans, and a good clutch
6-bolt motor just to be on the safe side, and mileage max 130k on odometer
doesn't need power mods, but it'd be good to have a couple small fuel mods
a tuning solution, and an fmic, exhaust
Good paint, no accidents, not too much rust.
check for suspension maintenance, upgrades etc.
should be a good start GL

So wait a sec sold a rusted car with low compression? If your in ohio then theres plenty of DSM's. I hope you told the new owner about all the issues.

Somebody paid 5k for that ? ROFL
 
Bad news guys.... i sold my gsx today i guy called with an offer i couldnt say no to, but i have about 5,000 to spend on a new one! i cant leave the dsm scene so i figured might as well get a bigger better faster one, thinking about getting a fully built gst and then converting it to awd over the summer with my dad, but if i can find a nice gsx ill grab one of those, BUT the race is still on, i just have to find another dsm that i like i think my mom is still gonna take the camaro to the track and ill get her on film running the car so we can see what were working with here :)

Get a 1g if your not looking to do too much work. AWD swap is honestly not for those who are inexperienced with fabrication. Skip the FWD's, 5K should find you a great 1g AWD that would smoke ant Camaro.

Funny. Several posts back you were bragging about your well maintained 57000 mile Dsm being able to take your redline shifts. Now it's a rusted pos with bad compression.LOL. I don't know which is worse...your lame thread or the fact you hosed another person by charging them top dollar for your beat car.

Seriously.

I don't understand how this thread never got locked. Maybe the mods wanted to see some newb meat get thrashed. Personally, I think this kids trolling since he conveniently sold his car. What a waste of server space.

^^^This.


Now you have to make up by showing us pictures of your mom :)
 
Ive been talking my parents into getting the camaro out to the track, and they said as long as my sisters track meet is over in time there going to take it out, and i have another car again so the race is on if they go! I'm going to have some trouble getting mine down the track tho my second gear syncro is completely shot and if i rev first gear high its almost impossible to get it in gear so i have to let the rpm's go down before i throw it in second so thats gonna knock a couple .10ths off my time but if i can get a good run i think it should be a good race, im on a 16g at 15 psi for now and the car runs good and pulls nice for that low of boost i dont see why i shouldnt be able to get a 13.6/7 with a good launch.. the car feels loads faster than my t 25 gsx the power doesnt fall off nearly as much as before
