I have a real DSM again!!!!

The galant is down for the count, so in the mean time I picked up a beater: 1990 TSi AWD

$700

The Good:
Timing belt job from mitsu a couple months ago
Great Oil Pressure
Great dark cloth interrior
Pioneer 6 CD changer
Tranny shifts 9/10
Car starts right up every time
High Oil Pressure
New Radiator
New alternator
NO LEAKS

The Bad:
180k (motor doesnt show it, feels great, oil clean)
Windshield cracked
Rust on the fenters (not much on underside however)
Turbo froze (looking for replacement 14b/16g)

The timing belt snapped and it sat for several years because owner didnt know what was wrong ---THE VALVES WERE NOT CRUSHED----

Thats why I am going to call it "lucky"

I may have a 14b for you, but it needs a re-build and an exhaust housing.

Not a bad car for $700 at all! Let me know if you want to sell it and make a profit ;)

green: you euro-loving traitor - I thought you were going into the marines and you just bought your TSi to "hold you over till you left" since your JETTaaaaah exploded? whats going on? are you keeping it? do you LIKE dsm's now?

Yeah, I think it was a pretty nice steal, since so much work was done to it.

I am a little suspecisous that the owner replace the cracked manifold and then the turbo stopped running....hmm

Oh, since its a '90 and the electronics are pretty stupid I think I will megasquirt this car, a whole lot cheaper then a EPROM ecu or DSM Link. Wish me luck.

LOL!

Looks good man, excellent deal. I think that color is nasty but for $700 who cares?

We have a 14b center section and compressor cover, $50. You re-use your exhaust housing.
