I picked this car up in May of 2002
with 97,xxx on the clock. The pervious owner had taken amazing
care of it, and presented me with a file full of receipts from
every oil change, and service the car had received since he owned
it. I was very surprised to find a 2nd gen GSR, that had actually
been taken care of! It was love at first
site (or something).
When I bought the car, I never
planned on doing a motor swap, but the b17a was getting kind of
tired, So I decided that since I didn't have the funds to rebuild
the b17a the way I wanted to, I would part it out and pick up a
JDM b18c. That brings us to where we are now.
Many thanks to Luke, Chris, Peter,
and the rest of the
075 crew. Big thanks also goes out to John at
JayDM.com for
hooking me up with crazy go nuts deals on parts.
