Far from being a beast. lol. It's been running fine man, I haven't really had the chance to drive it as much because its still at the audio shop. I really wanted to turn up the boost and dyno it again this past winter but never had the chance to do so.

Great video!!! I did not consider getting a GS3 for this exact reason. I would have watched that video and immediately started trying to source a motor to single and drop in That car has to be an absolute blast to drive.

I spoke with several others that said the same thing about making more power elsewhere. It was a good cool day as well which shoul dhave helped on the power band. We decided not to put the S2000 on the dyno because of that and we make 1,200 hp on the dyno's in South, FL

Very nice, I was actually in the shop down there when your car dynoed. Yea we should definately do a CL list for TX2K11. I plan on bringing my SC for the Mexico cruises and may do the 60-130 event or the mile if Peter does in fact get that setup for next year.

Still good numbers I think Jeff. Kudos to you for always pushing the envelope. Hope you get to 700rwhp soon.

Not on here that much but I did see your car (Jeff) at the TX2K10 saturday night meet. I was cruising down the lanes checking out other peoples cars when my GF noticed another white GS.

I ran into Cuong the one who sold you the vertex kit, I had mentioned I saw a nice looking white GS with black wtr panels and thats when he said that it was you lol.

Wish I stopped to check out your ride but I had to make an early exit to goto a bday party.

Jeff, your car really is my favorite on here, through and through its basically the complete package.... the T51 is by far my favorite turbo... I love the sound it makes spooling up... time for some meaty tires..!!!...


PS how often do you change your oil w/ the boost + e85?

Yeah, I always find myself in a predicament ALL the time. I really want to upgrade to a bigger and more efficient turbo. I've been seriously eyeing the new Garret GTX45R billet wheel ball bearing turbo for my new setup. It's supposedly good for around 1100whp or so. Very efficient turbos for their size...BUT it doesn't have the jet engine kind of spool up of the HKS. Hard to decide if I want to upgrade or not just based on the sound alone...lol.

As for the oil, I change it out every 3k miles. However, I rarely drive this car so that 3k can take almost a year to accumulate. In the past year, I only put 2k on the car. I run synthetic oil rated for extreme duty and extended change intervals. Also, the fact that the E85 burns so clean, the oil is still very clean when I do the oil changes.
