Default New GSX

Alright so I bought a '98 GSX with 72,000 miles and thought I would give you guys a post so you could tell me what you think. The guy I bought it from did some mods to it so I wanted to check and see if I need to upgrade other things also. He put all this in it : KYB AGX 4 way shocks, Ground Control coilovers, Apex SAFC, Apex turbo timer, Apex Power intake, Apex twin chamber blow off valve, Apex upper inner cooler pipe, Apex N-1 off road down pipe, and Apex N-1 catback, new headders and he put in a new 14b turbo. The car had two small spots of cracked bondo but I am planning on getting it painted anyways. Oh he also gave me a brand new performance clutch with about 150 miles on it he said lol, don't remember the name though.

well I have a few comments to make. First thing I noticed he has coilovers BUT also Shocks?? coilovers the real ones come with shocks Unless they are Ebay coilovers in which time I would take them out for real ones. the "inner cooler" is really called a intercooler\. and your car doesnt have headers. It is known as a manifold, tubular manifold or a header not ploral. Most turbo cars dont call it a header though it is usually reffered to as a manifold

I agree i think you need to get rid of the "coilover" and just replace it with a lowering spring. Any pics of the engine bay
