Well, after purchasing a house and getting rid of a few vehicles...i'm finally able to start on my 91 gsx. The goal of this car is to make it a fast, reliable, easy to drive second vehicle with cold ac and somewhat soft suspension. Every part on the car will reflect what i've learned (or failed to learn) from screwing around with dsm's over the past 3-4 years.

I'm also including a price list to help illustrate what this costs.

I purchased the Tan Car for 1100.
I purchased a Parts Car for 1100. (came with motor, transmission, shocks/springs/exhaust/downpipe, supra fuel pump)
4bolt Rear: 275
extreme PSI FMIC: 850
shep tranny: 1800
Twin Disk Setup: 700
New Brake Pads: 100
New Rotors: 100

Total Price So Far (a few things i've yet to buy...but will)
~6000 Dollars

Current Plans for the car are as follows...with a brief description why...

Good Condition 4g63 (stock rods, stock pistons, new headgasket, new belts)

Shep Tranny (most likely a stage 3 with 4spider center differential)

Quartermaster Twin Disk (pedal feel is softer than ACT, more forgiving)

2inch lowering springs, Tokico Shocks (from the parts car i purchased)

2.5 inch downpipe, 3inch exhaust (enough to make 350-400whp)

Evo3 16g (will make 350hp at 20psi)

Extreme PSI FMIC Setup (fits well, reasonably priced)

4bolt rear (stronger than the 3bolt rear)

Twin Piston Front Calipers

here are a few pics...

nicee.

 

the start of another awesome project chet

 

I usually hate DSM's, but looks like you found a gem. Clean interior, clean paint, and it hasn't been molested by high school "tuners" yet. Good luck with the build.

 

Sometimes I miss my 90 AWD DSM...those 13 second 1/4's with hardly anymods...man oh man...

Best of luck on your project

 

looks good

 

sweet car, good luck on the build.....oh and sweet roxy sticker

 

That 1G is so fuggin clean! And the leather interior is spotless! My driver's seat is all tore up from wear and tear.

Looks like a nice grocery list. Don't forget the fuel system.

Here's my winter beater:

hahahaha i have one as well and its niether of these and its everything that your wanting been sitting in my driveway for the past two years and i have a new long block to go in it

 

fuel system will be as follows.

550 cc injectors
supra fuel pump.

and the car is super clean...was owned by a girl in melbourne fla...she kept good care of it...but failed to keep oil in it...so the stock motor is toast.

 

clean dsm.. wish chicago had some clean ones

 

i dont like the color, but otherwise very clean. whats new with the colt?

 

wow, looks mint! i hope the other side looks just as good

 

That thing is ******' mint Chet. Nice!

 

Good Luck!!! In to see final results..bump for clean car and dumb teens

 

niice always a fan of the 1st gens. its possible to get a 12 sec dd out of those cars. my buddy had a 2nd gen gsx that ran 12.4's as his daily driver.

here is a pic of the other side of the car...

haha



as far as the color...i wasn't sure about it...but i've gotten used to the tan after having the car for 5months in my storage unit at work.

with the right wheels and lowered 2 inches...i think it will look ok.

and the roxy sticker is gonna stay for awhile...i think it will make the car look like your average daily driver.

 

for the 1G (a) body. Good luck with the project!!!

 

i hate these threads, you claim 12 seconds but dont show the motor????

i'll take pics of the engine as i make progress.

 

thats a good mint looking ****, chet.

 

sleeper

 

just installed a 4bolt rear...friend of mine did most of the work.

i was busy taking pics...and ended up selling my 95 gst to someone while the 3bolt was out of the car.

with a shep tranny, twin disk, this car will be reliable to 500whp.

next, shocks/springs/exhaust install.

once i get the suspension finished...i'll be focusing my attention on the motor.

 

Shocks/Springs are installed. (KYB Adjustables, H&R Springs)

Also installed a 3" Thermal Catback exhaust. (i painted the muffler black to attact less attention)

Here are a few pics. (put talon wheels back on the car...for now...i think they look better.)
