Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing a pic of your FB!
Would you like to increase your post count? Is that Salt Lake City in the background? What have you done to the car thus far? What are your plans? Would you like to share how the forum helped you?
Thanks for having it! At some point I'd like to increase it, but I just gotta find things to post about first! Haha
That is SLC in the background, it's on the mountainside bench so it makes a great background!
I've only done a few things so far, mainly just maintenance, but so far I've put in:
-Champion 3 core aluminum radiator, since my oil temps were WAY too high
-New ignition wires and spark plugs
-Some new headlight housings with HID's
-And some very minor cosmetic things like new tow hooks, cleaning up the paint etc.
Soon I'm hoping to do a gsl-se rear end swap for those disk brakes and lsd, just waiting on it to ship. After that I'm hoping to do a carb rebuild and possibly look into street porting the 12a. One thing I'm saving up for too is some new suspension parts from techno toy tuning.
As with the forums, they've helped a ton with new ideas and directions to take the FB. I got the idea for the rear swap on here, and I looked very heavily into what's needed for it/ideas that people have done with it. I've also seen a lot of posts that have helped out regarding the cooling system, from the radiator to fans and different lines when I first got the car. It's also given me some ideas on how to improve on the stock Nikki carb. I also got the idea to change the headlights on here, since I wasn't quite sure at the time what type/size of headlights would work.
I'm hoping to keep getting new ideas from the community, and eventually hope to be able to contribute my own as well!
Welcome Ryan! Your GS looks to be in great shape and we would definitely love to see more pictures of it! Just a side note, the GSL-SE uses a different bolt pattern for the wheels, 4x1.13 versus 4x1.10 for your GS. While you will get the better vented rear disc brakes, you will need wheels, parking brake cables, calipers, brackets, hardware kit, pads, rotors, booster, master cylinder, and proportioning valve, and you will need the front spindles and brakes from a GSL-SE as well. If you dont have that stuff, I would recommend a GSL rear end swap and rear brakes and cables as it would be a little easier! Again welcome!
