Got me a new teg yesterday so it's just a matter of time/labor before I return to the darkside, but better then before.

Got a one owner 96 Supersonic Blue GSR for 13,900. (50K and warranty, not that it will matter smile

)

Coupe this time also!! I thought I was a sedan man but several things on the coupe are just much nicer.

Things like: Framed windows - no leaks, quieter, stronger. Hatch-back - Sedan trunk opening sooo small it is hard to get anyhing of size in or out. Trunk area finish - I didn't notice how much they cheesed out on the 4-dr until I started looking at the coupe's, much nicer!! Supersonic Blue - Loved this color since I first saw one.

It is amazing how smooth and quiet a 100% bone stock Teg starts idles and runs after having being blown with mods for the past two years.

Back to the drawing board (er.. Garage)

Congrats! SSB is by far one of the coolest colors out there...Ive always tinkered with the idea of selling mine and going back to the drawing board with a 99 SSB GSR.

I assume its a 98 or 99 BTW, right?
What are your plans? Milk that warranty while you still can! wink

Great news! Now you can rebuild without any of the mistakes or wasted money we all make on our first project.

Go Turbo!

Personally, I'd emulate Arturbo or that other guy from Texas, MaxPSIGSR or something? I think they've gotten 270+whp on stock engines and haven't had problems.

I had one of the first Super Sonic Blue Pearl GSR's in California and that was a brand new color for 1998. This was also the only year of the SSBP without leather. 1999 was the last year of the SSBP with standard leather.

Maybe you got a 1996 painted SSBP.

No, It's a 98 SSBP Without the leather frown

.

Has gray with blue/yellow pattern cloth interior.

Carfax shows it was a one owner 98 that was bought across town originally. The color is SHARP.

It has been unaltered from stock. OE 100% and yes, no matter what route to FI I decide this time many mistakes have already been learned from.

Hang on to your 96 ECU for code-free OBDII test piping!

Yup, I dynoed at 277whp and 200ft/lbs @ 7.35-7.5psi. I made it this long but MarkC takes the cake with 3 years and no problems.
