Hey guys. I thought I'd share my excitement w/ y'all!! My car's been in the shop for a few days now, and my engine should be back from the machine shop by the end of the week. There's a lot going into this 98GS, and I hope to have a decent sleeper - stock look, except for 18" wheels. Here's a quick rundown...

Eagle rods/JE pistons
Hahn kit w/ S20G/FMIC
Portfueler (stg 5)
Stg 3 clutch
Full 3" (Thermal R&D)

Lots of other items to list, but you get the idea. I've been looking fowrard to this for quite some time. Thanks to 2GNT and it's members for all the useful info! :D I'll try to post pics as soon as I can.

damn, that's one major setup all at once. You're gonna love it.

Thanks, guys! I was told the engine will be out of the machine shop tomorrow... Sweet!

lol - I totally forgot I had this post out (from last year!)... I just wanted to thank you guys once again for keeping such an awesome site. I couldn't have done this without all the info.

I'll be tearing my head down tomorrow to start putting in some small upgrades, then it's off to the dyno to bump the boost and try to improve my wheel numbers.

Bear in mind - I went from a bone-stock GS to all the mods listed below (basically "overnight" in that my engine went to the machinist and was reassembled with all mods). I'm still new to this tuning stuff, but I've learned more from using this site than I ever thought I would.

I'll post an update after my next dyno run (hopefully by the end of this week..)
