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... smile.gif

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.
