Another GSR Evo wannabe

[missingbitsa]

Hi all,
Just picked up this 95 GSR .
Plan is to give it a tidy up, sort out some of its issues get it relicensed and do some driving.
its already got a FMIC, TD05 and coilovers but it leaks oil the CV and rack boots are shot.
Ive already got the engine out for a tidy up.
will do the timing belt, seals, belts and clutch and then see how it runs. Hopefully it wont throw a rod.
i dont know how its been treated in the past so will just have to see how it goes.

Regards

Hi Brian,
I got this this car in a private sale but dont know its history. hasnt been regoed for a while.
The TD05 looks like an Ebay special, and the install was pretty average.
I see your located in Perth, have you seen this car its previous life??

I have the engine out and am busy sorting some of the issues with it.
Just had a look at the intake ports and they seemed cracked but thats another post.

Spent this weekend tidying up the engine bay, degreasing and replacing CV /steering rack boots.

Actually I havent seen that one around before...I know a lot of the guys driving these.

I have three GSRs and an evo one myself..so if you are chasing anything let me know.

I had a look at the picture of the head you posted and those are castiing sink backs. Just about every head Ive seen has them so dont worry about them. BUT if you wish you could hit them with a die grinder and knife edge that spot. NOT that that will do much other than get rid of the cracks
