LOL, for sure. I don't get it to why people still waste thousands of $ on stuff like that. Well, to each his/her own I guess.

i've always wanted to buy a 99 GSX.

if i owned one, i would do the following:

DUMP IT
paint it black (if it wasn't already)
tint all the windows in a nice "limo black"
put a set of black 5Zigen FN01R-C wheels on it
smoke the tail-lights as dark as i could legally get away with
black projector headlights (might as well smoke them too)
a nice front mount intercooler (painted in a charcoal color, not black. i want it SOMEWHAT visible)
1st gen 4g63 swap (i don't mind walking, but i don't like it when cranks do it)

i've always liked the idea of a dumped gsx in ALL BLACK. not murdered out (flat black) but a nice proper shade of black.

might be a tad "ricer" in approach, but i'd love to see that.

99 model years don't have crankwalk :thumbs up

Just the 95-98. There has never been a documented case of crankwalk in a 99 Turbo. I have 2, that's why they are both 99's

It's fairly unknown. There are lots of theories and not many answers. The causes of crankwalk usually are attributed to a slightly improper casting in the block, or cast shifting. People originally suspect improper crank tolerances or bearing tolerances but that seems unlikely since walked motors have been rebuild only for it to occur again. The improper tolerance wears hard on the thrust bearing and heavy aftermarket clutches only make the problem worse.

Another fairly good theory attributes it to the oil flow from the squirters. Start up and idle oil flow is low and the pressure of the clutch pushing on the thrust bearing wears it faster. It helps to disengage the clutch switch so the clutch isn't putting force on the thrust bearing during the most critical time. The theory suggests heavy racing clutches combined with poor idle and start up oil pressure rapidly wear the thrust bearing and allow the crank to move back and forth further wearing every other bearing.....although it can happen with a stock clutch, a racing clutch surely wouldn't help

It's fairly unknown as to why 99's don't have it. Maybe Mitsubishi tightened their casting tolerances. Who knows. But there has never been a reported case on any 99 I've ever heard, or heard from anyone. For some reason or another, it just didn't happen. The 95-96 was the worst year for it

Yes, I have not heard of a '99 walking either, my cousin had a built '95 with an FP Red turbo that was rebuilt 2 times untill he got his hands on a '99 block, no problems since then
