Which One Should I Get?

[Kracka]

I was kidding about the Engine Restore additive...but hey, it won't hurt so you might as well give it a shot. Any store will sell it...Napa, Wal-Mart, etc. I agree with Peter, deffinately get a car that is running for now then figure out what you want to do with it. CEL = check engine light

that is what im leaning towards. so what do you need to do to bring the compression back
complete rebuild, = $$

i dont think im going to do a whole rebuild. so rings and valve seals, i could purchase these at a dealer maybe? yeah you guys are right i have to get the car first.

The "running rich" one is not on trader anymore (atleast from the link above). I remember seeing that on there a long time ago. I thought someone on here actually bought it. If you want a decent 1/4 time and some money left in your pocket, hold out for an AWD car. As far as prices go on a rebuild, call mitsu and ask what rings, seals, and an engine gasket kit cost. If you plan on modding you may want to consider forged pistons and rods as long as you are down there. Unless you are a machinist, plan on an engine rebuild to cost around $2000 with good parts. If you use stock pistons, rods, etc ecxect around $1000 and you installing the engine.

well i think im looking to build a highway racer so im going to buy a fwd. or should i just get an awd first because they might be harder to find? how fast could an awd go on the highway?

[npaulseth]

FWD is for highway usage.

[SquackDiddy]

yeah thats why i would like a fwd and awd 1g dsm. o i typed that wrong i meant to say fwd at the begining. i think most of my races will be on the highway unless its a stop light in the town or somthing.

Get whatever makes you happier.

Check the archives for people bitching about their FWD's and wanting to switch to AWD.
