So after the 1G I got didn't work out, I've been parting it out and should have it completely gone on Saturday.
A buddy is buying my transmission from TRE as well. I will have ~$2500 on hand when all is said and done. Friend of mine has a 95 for sale. Didn't say if AWD or FWD but I want the GSX. Has 133k miles on it. Black. Clean. Only rust is on rear quarter. 5spd. I'm a little leery though because of all this I hear about crankwalk and things like that. I have a couple spare things off the 1G I could throw on it (BOV, boost controller) What should I look out for? I know to look for strut tower rust and things like that now... -------------------- If the sound of a DSM in the distance rowing through the gears gives you a hardon, you might be a car enthusiast.

QUOTE (awd4kicks @ Mar 7 2009, 06:38 PM) Don't blame the cars man! 99% of everything that failed on my Talon has been due in one way or another to me increasing the designed performance levels. I can honestly say has to be the most misunderstood fact about DSM's period. Exactly. I had my 93 GSX for 13 years with no mods and had zero reliability issues. If you push the car past its design limits, you will break something eventually. -------------------- 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX - all options except AT & leather *sold*
