New white GST!!! Finaly Boosted!

george536 · #1 12-28-2004, 06:07 PM

Well heres the new Gst. Very huge difference from the 420a. Everything is fine, the only thing bothering me is the transition from auto to manual. 1st gear is such a bitch!!!! It hasnt turned off on me or anything, but i know i can do better im just not used to it.

ok now some problems, i have no sideskirt on one side, and the passanger side leaks but not alot. I had to get it on the worst rain of the year

Also the inside kinda detach itself from the ceiling, doesnt bother me but it looks ugly. Im still happy with it though

Looks just like mine!

Except mine has the top removed seeing I will only drive it on sunny days and only put the top on when I go to the drag strip. Gotta love the black on white. Although I got the black leather interior

Definately looks good!

treefrog if you're missing 3rd its probably because the shifter plate is loose. get a symborsky shifter kit or use washers to stiffen up the mounting points for the shifter plate

hmmm, i ALWAYS miss 3rd when i'm trying to hot rod it

I finally got it down. I feel like a pro. Was driving for 4 hours running errands and i finally got it down. Never turned off on me

. This car is amazing i love it. And i love it when the turbo spools, its the best sound in the world!

OK i need the link to tha video that shows you how to make your car start without putting the clutch in. Im not sure where it was i tried looking but didnt find it. Help please.

I hope there's a better reason than being too lazy to push it in while starting? What next..not having to push the clutch to shift?

george536 · #11 12-29-2004, 04:00 AM

nah its because i read somewhere, when you start the car with the clutch, you increase chance of "CW". Because of some reason, i forgot i read it a long time ago. Just want to be on the safe side.

BoNkA10 · #12 12-29-2004, 04:14 AM

By the way, have you taken the car on some steeper inclines/hills and start/stop? It's real easy to over or under rev when you first start or drive a different car. Right now I'm driving my brother's Accord while I'm home for break and I'm not completely used to it yet. It can be pretty bad if you stall the car on an incline for any reason. I would know...

When I was just learning how to drive my stick 3 or 4 years ago, I was stopped at a 5-way intersection on a decent incline, in the left lane waiting to make the turn. We get the green light for the turn and I go to pull out and stall the car. Start it back up, stall again. Start it back up, stall again. Start it back up one last time, my mom (permit driving days) was yelling at me asking me if I even had the thing in gear, shoved the stick up into first and I was good to go right as the light was turning red. Held up everyone the entire light..boy did I feel dumb. Now not having the damn thing in gear is a little different than over/under revving (really not sure how it wasn't in gear, but you guys can make fun of me anyways), it's still a decent story :-D

For the clutch switch... look under your dash by the clutch. You will be looking up twords the sky, and you should see a harness unclip that (it is PITA, unless your hands are small. And you are done.

BTW.. get clear sidemarkers IMO.

Thanks, im thinking of changing the color and getting clear sidemarkers but not sure. I kind want to go with the white and black look. I think imma get that front lip. I havent seen a dsm around my area with a lip only. I think it would look good.
