#1335, "thinking about GST to GSX transfer" Sep-28-05 04:54 AM by Vandy420a
I'm seriously considering swapping all my crap from my black GST to a maroon GSX a friend of mine is selling. His is a 99, mine's a 98. He has a thermal exhaust and some guages I dont particularly like too much, but can live with (or change to mine, for about $50 for a new guage pod).
will all these swap from my GST?
Injectors Walbro 255 Exhaust manifold K&N FIPK Greddy FMIC Fuel pressure regulator lines (locations are all the same, right?)
stuff i'll have to buy again: downpipe guage pillar ACT 2400 (that one's gonna hurt a bit!) anything else i'm missing?
I'm positive the rest of the stuff I have will swap, i just have questions about these coupla things, esp. the intercooler. I'm also wondering if it'd be worth it...it'd be a shit load of work to move EVERYTHING---would probably take about a month at least, esp with the turbo and fuel system, and I am trying to save money. Paying 2 insurances will be a bitch, and I do have the GST paid off. On the other hand i've always wanted AWD, so....opinions? suggestions?
thanks guys
edit: HA! you thought this was about making a GST AWD, didn't you!?!?

The fuel pressure regulator lines I am not positive about, but I would have to think they are the same.
If I were you, I would get a stock downpipe to throw on and take yours off...and the same thing with the clutch. Just make sure you can definitly afford doing this before you commit. It is no fun having a fast car you can't drive cause you can't pay your insurance or gas...

gas isn't an issue, insurance isn't either, its just having to double my payment for a month or more will suck. I don't think my FWD downpipe will fit an AWD--otherwise if it did, i'd be totally set. Will my GST catback fit?
the only other issue is that to pay for this car i'd have to sell mine, which could end up being tricky, as I want the mods from mine. Maybe tkae out a loan, and pay it back in full when I sell the other car?

Sorry, I didn't finish what I was saying...that you should take off your mods and sell them and get some money back. The clutch is also specific to the AWD, but not the flywheel if you already have one.

You can use a awd clutch. 90-99 AWD and FWD is the same disk and pressure plate .

I have never driven a stick before my GSX and it came with a ACT 2600, and I have never had a problem, wasn't even very hard. But thats just me I guess.

no no i've had 2 ACT clutches on my GST--its got one in there right now. i'm just not really keen on installing a clutch--esp. with the time frame i'm looking at---so i'll probably keep stock for a *little* while until I can have it in the shop for a day. I HATE having to do that, but i'm just not comfortable installing a clutch

Oh my bad. Yeah installing it would be a bitch... Thats the kind of job I don't mind paying to get done.

Tranny is only held in by a few bolts. Its really alot easier then people think. Especially on our cars. Try it. Save paying someone $300. If you was closer i'd do the job for you for $200

Do it Vandy, get the GSX. If you need a GSX downpipe, I have a Megan Racing full 3" downpipe w/ no cat. Should bolt up to any exhaust system. $100 plus shipping.

Parents co-sign on a second loan for you. Or just take out another loan. You have colatteral against both loans.

i know this is totally JV, but i've never gotten an auto loan from a bank before. i usually just paid most in cash up front, (only ever bought used) and borrowed the rest from my parents, then paid them back asap. I think i may be able to cash a mutual fund and pay for the car outright, then sell my car and put the money right back in.
If not, how should I go about applying for the loan if its a private party sale? I'm really unfamiliar with this process, any helpful links would be HUGE! (if not, i'll just call my bank when they open up on monday)
thanks for the help guys!! matt

That's exactly it my man, just go into your bank and ask to talk to a loan officer or a personal banker. Take in the information about the vehicle, VIN, year, model, etc. and they will figure out how much they are willing to loan you and for what interest rate.
If you are going to take out a loan, don't do it for just a month or two, because they are going to charge you a fee for initiating the loan, could be like $250+. If you won't get penalized that much from your mutual fund, i would cash it out, buy the car, sell yours, and put the money back into your fund. Much less hastle and probably cheaper for you in the long run to do it that way.

yeah---i need to ask a finance guy if I'm gonna get hit with cap gains from that though...i think I already pay them yearly on that fund, but if I don't it could be a serious hit....might be cheaper for the loan.
