Default GSX Update!

Aight, I said I would post up my current project.. But I have been extremely busy lately and this is really the first chance Ive had to get some pictures and upload them to the pc..

The First Picture I saw of the car on ebay..!


Its a 99 GSX, white with black leather interior. The motor had 140,000 Miles on it when I bought it.. After tearing the motor apart, I found out why it didnt run.. All the valves dropped down into the pistons..


The Drive HOME!


Front Picture


Side Shot


Back Picture


Garage Shot


Interior Shot


Current Motor Shot




New block Picture.
6 Bolt Bored .020 over.
Crower Rods/Ross pistons/Brand new oem Crank


The head:
Ported and polished
dual springs/titanium retainers
FP3x Cams!

Some things going on the motor..
Venom Intake manifold
AEM Fuel rail
850 Injectors
SAFCII Controller (Till next spring, then DSMLINK)
FPR
Stainless steel Fuel Lines
20g Turbo (For now, Hopefully next year a FP3065)
Greddy Cam gears
Greddy Kevlar timing belt
Front Mount intercooler
3" Exhaust

Pictures of the accessories!




The car that some of the stuff is gonna come off of to make this a finished project!



Ill upload some more pictures later, but thats all I have right now. Ill keep ya updated on the project. My realistic goal is having this down by next spring, but Im hoping to having it out on the road before winter! We will have to see!
