DSM for DD?

[Kranz]

Jest was thinking about using my 90 talon tsi awd for a every day driver. I have to rebuild the engine. Plan keeping it stock for the most part. So how many of you out there use your dsm for a daly driver's. What is the pros and cons. And would this be a smart or not lol. I have had people say yes there Great cars and then Others say sell that pos fast as you can when it is done lol. So what do you guys all think?

It all depends on what you do to it. If you rebuild the engine and you know what you're doing, you'll be fine. If you're guessing and looking here for rebuild info, you're probably best off with something else. They make a great winter car with stockish fuel control and such.

i dd my 90 only thing i hate is seeing her al saltly knowing im gonna have to fix some rust when spring comes around

I personally will never have a DSM DD again, and suggest the same to you.

Different strokes for different folks.

I vote no, but that's just me.

It can be done! Stay on top of maintnance, fix anything that breaks with quality parts as quick as you can to get it back on the road asap. Keep the mods basic and plan your mods carefully so they can be installed quickly and efficiently, and don't go too crazy powerwise.

Good luck! You're in for an adventure! (keep this mentality and you will be in great shape)

I DD'd DSMs for 7 years.

*edit*
They were much younger cars back then though :D

Truf. What other mods do you have? That is a perfect base.

Oh, forgot to mention: get AAA Gold. ~$100/year and your ass is covered. I have had it since I bought my 1G in 2002 and have carried the card (and used it) ever since. Always pays for itself several times over, guaranteed.

Do what Scheides said and you'll be fine. Id also suggest at least some all seasons or blizzaks during the winter months.
