I finally got my new GSX. It is a 99 GSX, bone stock, auto, in great condition. I got the auto because I heard you can get stall converters and shift kits for them and less chance of crank walk. Anyone know where I can pick the shift kit and stall converter up? Also, I here that alot of the 1st gen parts will just bolt up to our engine and perform better. Which of those parts should I look out for and get? Any recomended first mods for the car? Thanks alot guys!

welcome to the AWD turbo community and congrast on the pickup. this section seems to be a good hiding place for those who are turned to the dark side so hopefully we'll have alot of help for your future with the 4g63.

I don't know really anything about where to pick up AT mods, but hopefully if there are any other questions you have I'll be able to help with those.

Again congrats on the purchase.

It's running again shitheads.

Think for yourself. Question authority does not always mean disagree with authority.

If life were perfect, I'd be Calvin and you'd be Hobbes.

You can buy that stuff at mach v.
I have never heard of to many 99 4g63's getting crank walk either.
Good luck and welcome to the family.

congrats!
join the AT/DSM yahoo group. There's alot of AT knowledge there and they won't flame for noob questions. They will also know about where the best places to get shift kits and torque converters.
Upgrade path is the same as any other turbo DSM.
Start with intake, UIP with new BOV and then get a boost guage. Then, AFTER the boost guage, you can get a boost controller. Exaust comes next. There's a HUGE variety of parts, techniques and paths. Do some research and talk to people. Lots to do and even more to learn.

GSX is awesome, shoulda got AWD though, you will wish you did a year after you start modding it. Crankwalk..... whats that, you wont get that. Just put a 6 bolt in, be worth driving manual over auto if I have to install a new engine.

You won't need a "stall converter". The stock Torque Converter works just fine for Big 16G sized turbos and smaller. You won't need an upgraded TC until you have larger than that. The shift kit does work wonders though.

Don't buy through Mach V. They are extremely nice and have great customer service, but they have some of the most expensive prices in the DSM world.

Doh!! I meant you shoulda gotten manual GSX instead of auto GSX. I think getting auto GSX is pointless, if had to get an auto I get just get a GST. How can you launch a awd auto GSX. Be about the same as a manual GST?? Thats just my opinion, either way you have a turbocharged car.
