Nice! I have to agree with what cs8 said, that's definately an acceptable reason to get rid of the RS. Forgive me for asking but how many pésos did it cost you señor?

GSX have become just like Mustangs. Every Spineless pussy has one.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bought and not built by yourself!!!!

I might be a spineless pussy, but don't compare GSXs to Rustanks. =)

As for not building it myself, its almost impossible to find a virgin GSX , this one was about an hour away and was only 10K. AWD, Turbo, and a 5 speed? yes please! Most people want 8K for a stockish GSX anyway.


Im currently swapping the black interior over into the GSX(slowly but surely) I'll be losing the drivers side powered leather seat, but the manual lever is faster. Once I get the interior moved over I'll take some inside and outside pix.

I think that engine bay deserves a sexier valve cover and 2g black timing cover.

If it sounds like I'm jealous...it's because I am.

EDIT: What kind of numbers is this beast making?

I love this thing *drool*
