Well I just bought my GGSX a few weeks ago and I had to go right back down to Texas to finish up school. I still have a few months before I will be able to work on my car. As of right now I am compiling a list of maintenance and need to replace items. Its mainly tune up and replacing the valve cover gasket and a few other minor fixes, also I know it needs new front axles, and a good detail. I am also going to do a timing belt replacement, and am curious about doing the balance shaft elimination. I have read the vfaq and know the procedure how to do the elimination, but I’m confused about what do to with the rear balance shaft bearings. I will be getting a stubby shaft and leaving in the front shaft. What would I do with the rear shaft bearings? Would there be a build in oil pressure with doing this? And would this be harmful or fine on 210k motor? Should I even do this on my DD? I’ve read quite a bit on it and most people do this to get rid of one more rotating part that can fail, also get rid of the balance shaft belt that can also fail, both resulting in engine damage.
Are there any suggestions on what other maintenance I should do? Or should take a good look at?
I have plenty of time to continue to collect parts and be ready to throw them in once I get back up to Colorado Springs.
One more question I bought the EVO 8 suspension from LIV4PSI (Craig) and its not coming with the spacers to mount the fronts, is there anyone on here that sells them? Or should I have a machine shop to make me some? I can give them the dimensions from the EVO 8 suspension how to.
I only have these two pics of her as of right now, I can have my wife send me more pictures though.
