nice pick up

boxcarracer 10-01-2007 04:49 PM

Re: New Car 91 GSX Turbo
 
payed a flat 3k for it. Yes know it will break a lot but thats why im here to pick up the tranny when it falls to cover the boost leaks and heal its dead gaskets

Also the engine is 4g63 Picks of the engine bay when i get home totally forgot about that....consider it teaser pics oh and Mileage is ONLY 91xxx

Re: New Car 91 GSX Turbo
 
oh and did i forget to mention the LAST tune up was in 3/24/05<---- The car has 91126 i think next tune up schedule 91641

DsevenEm2 10-01-2007 06:36 PM

Re: New Car 91 GSX Turbo
 
i think u should give it a tune up now... lol looks pretty clean.. more pics tho! those eclispes are notorious for busted internals and smoky things good luck tho..what are the plans for it. 3k wasnt bad either..

boxcarracer 10-01-2007 06:43 PM

Re: New Car 91 GSX Turbo
 
First things First BRAND NEW or REBUILT Transmission. Going to Racing Results in LI They'v got a pretty quick Talon and A crazy EVO. So with that said They should be doing the things i cant do in my driveway.

3k was great for the condition. It only had an Exhaust and intake when i got it, but he removed it. Tune up right around the corner, just need to recover some money and get some time to work on the bad boy :).

MORE PICS MOST LIKELY TOMMOROW OF THE REST OF THE INTERIOR and THE ENGINE BAY !!!!

Still love my EM2 tho ....EM2>DSM (Staying true to my first love)

looks very clean for it's age, and low miles, but that doesn't mean the crank won't walk!!

Re: New Car 91 GSX Turbo
 
eh it's a six bolt so don't worry about crank walk too much.

i'm getting a dsm soon too...as soon as i sell my em2...i know...i'm a sell out

i'm getting the 2gb though 97-99.

AWD 4G63T FTW!!!

Re: New Car 91 GSX Turbo
 
ugh, ur leaving me as the only modded 7th gen in so ill???

So.Ill.EM2 10-01-2007 11:42 PM

Re: New Car 91 GSX Turbo
 
lol maybe. i haven't decided yet. the main reason is because i never drive my car except on the weekends i'm home. i'm at SIU right now so it's just sitting in the garage. my friend had a DSM and i loved his so i'm leaning towards one. but i just don't know yet.

i am between getting a gsx or painting my car this summer and possibly bagging it.

but right now it's looking like...

AWD Turbo GSX > paint job this summer

The 420A didn't curse the DSM until the second gen *shudders* Neon engines didn't belong in these cars.

Congrats man. Now that I got a promotion in a new city and don't really want my EM2's monthly payment...I'm so tempted to get rid of it and go back to my Talon.

Re: New Car 91 GSX Turbo
 
looks good. i kinda did the same thing. I sold my 04 civic to buy a 14yr old integra..lol.

originally i was going to get a vr4 3000gt but i found out the maintence on that thing is $1k per 60k on it.

I drive too much so i decided to stay in the honda family. Good luck with the eclipse, i know that engine has a lot of potential.

Welcome to DSMland..... get to DSMtuners.com and start reading... a lot.

I have a 91 TSi AWD and a 97 Spyder w/ DOHC Turbo swap & AWD Conversion

These cars are worse than a meth addiction...

boxcarracer 10-02-2007 10:28 AM

Re: New Car 91 GSX Turbo
 
found the reason was fruckin up! well after thinking about the car not having atune up for about 3 yrs and well asking my teacher who was a evo fanatic and mitsubishi god at the dealer i came to the conclusion thaat its just the wires spark plugs and maybe the entire coil pack O_o so when I fix that ill repost pics of engine bay this afternoon when I get home from school

Re: New Car 91 GSX Turbo
 
How hard is it to find transmissions for these cars? I here thats the weak point of the older gen dsm's.

exturbo6 10-02-2007 01:15 PM

Re: New Car 91 GSX Turbo
 
sweet pick man! cant wait to see if transform into a monster, and it wont break down if u take care of it...my buddy has a 91 talon, its about a 10 sec car, and he has no problems at all..just gotta maintain it. good luck man!

Shep trans rule the DSM world.


Replace the timing belt if you haven't already and consider removing the balance shafts. Get a datalogger soon to make sure everything is running decent after you replace the wires/plugs/etc.

Re: New Car 91 GSX Turbo
 
word...just get a dog box and you'll never have to worry about a transsmission issue again lol...anyway, have fun with it, my friend and i worked on his all summer and it could outrun most cars (minus some vettes) around here, and that's with minimal work done to it.
