See the above links for a
detailed description of the car.
For the quick and dirty:
- 1996 GST in Celtic Blue Pearl two tone (EXTREMELY
rare, OEM)
- Fully built 6 bolt 2.0 4G63 motor, built and installed by
AMS with the praised AMS GT-35R turbo kit.
- Fully built Shepherd racing transmission with Quaife LSD.
- 27 MPG
- real world mileage
- CoolingMist water/meth injection kit not fully installed.
All it really needs is an injector installed in the upper intercooler
pipe. Kit is sourced from the tank in the rear. Probably
possible to make 500hp on 93 octane gas with this mod completed.
- Rims and tires have <1,000 miles on them, probably
less than 500. The BFG Drag radials seem to keep traction at 20psi of
boost pretty well
in 2nd gear.
- 76,500 miles on chassis. Engine and transmission installed
at 64,500 and turbo installed at about 66,00.
- Prepped and garaged for winter last year, in temp
controlled garage this year. Has not seen winter since GT-35R was put
on the car.
- Alot of love has been invested into this dream
car. Wish I felt like I could get more for it, but the DSM market is
filled with crapbuckets that devalue the good cars like this.
I would be glad to include all digital media I have of the car, and would also
try to help to have some semi-professional photography done if the buyer would
like.

More about the engine and transmission build:
- Built and installed by AMS at 64,500 miles
- 6 bolt conversion done by AMS
- O-Ring Deck
- MLS head gasket
- Eagle rods
- Ross 8.5:1 pistons
- AMS full race balance shaft eliminator kit
- AMS Stage 1 race head - Bead blasted, disassembled and ported
- FP2 Cams
- Supertech titanium springs and retainers
- Metal water pump
- ARP head studs and main studs
- Remand cylinder head
- Always used OEM Oil filters
- BPR7ES plugs
- New coil packs
- Drilled prothane motor mounts
- ACT Xact 11.5lb flywheel
- Competition feramic clutch
- Brand new throw out bearing, clutch fork, and stainless steel clutch
line
- Always tuned by AMS with DSMLink giving you full control of the cars
ECU!
The only upgrades the car could really see are
- rotors and pads (they always worked fine for me and I was
waiting till they wore out to replace them, didn't need bigger brakes
for drag racing anyway)
- an AEM standalone
(However DSMLink is more than capable)
- 1000CC injectors if you are
looking to run C16 and push 40psi at the track
- an intake
manifold (AMS VSR manifold would be great! Never got a chance
to run the slicks. That was going to make or break my
decision to get the intake manifold)
With these upgrades (or frankly even just the last two) and a
good tune (AMS!) the car should be well capable of 600 horsepower.
Some Things to Note:
I have a set of 26" slicks mounted on weld pro stars that are half worn with
all hardware. They properly stored and will be included in the sale
The car will include Greddy wireless boost switch for the profec.
An AEM boost sensor is hooked into the ECU for logging and
tuning
purposes. There is also an OBX front upper strut bar for the
car. I will include this with the sale at the buyers wish (I
took it off because the car is primarily a drag car).
I will be keeping the Passport 8500 X50. I can remove the
hardwire install and replace the fog light switch at the buyer's
request. (the car no longer has fog lights so that it could
accommodate the FMIC) I would highly recommend picking up
another
Passport, its definitely come in handy and the hardwire install is
great.I will include any parts I still have the car including OE cams,
lifters, hood prop, 2 sets of OE floor mats (1 perfect and new, 1 original) Eibach pro-kit springs, etc etc.
Possible problems:
WBO2 sensor will need to be replaced ($100). It still meters fine at
normal driving speeds but reads incorrect at full boost. It probably
got clogged from running leaded gas once. It does not affect the operation
of the car in any way.
Lower backseat has been removed and carpeted, rear seatbelts have been
removed. Seat & belts included with sale and I would put them back in the car
upon the buyer's request.One of the parking brake cables is broken and will
need to be replaced. AMS quoted me ~$115 parts and labor for this.
The AC has a leak, probably near the battery tray. The
compressor
was replaced by AMS (it was thought to be the problem) and the system
recharged, but it leaked down again after a few days. I never
used the A/C and would have
removed it if I didn't think it would be valuable to a future
buyer.
The car is otherwise perfect.
I have paperwork for all work performed on the car and will include it with the
vehicle.
Reason
for selling:
I purchased an Evo and I can't even imagine putting
a daily drive on this beautiful car. Though it will run fine on 93 I've been running her with 100
octane for a while and never gave her anything but
the best. Help me find a new home for her!
