Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

Looks like you are leaning toward a 3s. I would start out looking for a 3s but keep the 2g not far behind just in case you can't find one you like. Just remember don't rush into this. Summer is still a long way to go. How does the rusting hold up on a 2g 99 compare to 3s?

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

Guess who I just called ;) :D

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

Uh oh........ :D

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

He's gonna call me back tomorrow after thinking it over. But it's got all the work done to it already, just needs a few minor things, and a good tune. Jana can do the show thing as well as the go thing. Why work to 12s, when you can buy into the 11s ;) LOL

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

I can't remember, what year is the car? Did he ever put a FMIC & upgraded fuel system on it?

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

good thinking.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

I'm pretty sure it's a 95 RT/TT but I may be wrong.

I need to verify what it all has on it again. I'm trying to find a old pic of it. Jakey, you have any?

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

This looks like a good deal:

Too bad it's yellow.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

I would get a black 95 3000. if I was in the market for a new car. It's got the frog eyes and it's not 60,000 dollars.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

No.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

That's sounds like the way to go! As long as it's not blue. If it's blue, I might kill you.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

The Stealth is Black.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

Blacked out in "Stealth mode"........

2 YUMMY!!!

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

It's the only way we wouldn't get a 96/97 VR4. I know the car, I know the owner, and I know and trust everyone who's worked on it.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

How much is it.. what are more details on the car? I skimmed but didnt' see anything Allan.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

He was going to call me back with what he wants for it.

It's got upgraded turbos (some DR turbos about the size of a 14b or just a bit smaller), full exhaust, k&n, wires, very slick custom stereo w/ dvd player & tv, and I'm not sure what else he had done.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

From what I can recall on top of what you've mentioned:
Panasonic indash DVD player
MA Audio sub
Greddy EGT Gauge
Autometer Boost Guage
Aftermarket wheels

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

And LSE has some extras from the old motor to bling bling that I had at QPR for a while.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

The biggest problem will be getting a loan for the car being it's over 10 years old, so I don't even know if it's possible yet.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

Try Capital One
http://www.capitalone.com/

I used them when I bought my Stealth.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

I got a loan for my 94 stealth only difference was because the car was older than 97 it had a higher interest rate.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

LOL, Anyone want to buy a Jeep ;)

The car also has:

60k on car and motor
lighter flywheel
99 Front end
and a pulley upgrade

He wants to replace it with a 99 VR4 if he sells it and the price is PERFECT ;)

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

Have any pics of it yet? 99 fronts are hot, I may have to hump your leg.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

Hm...i'd Have To Say Get The 3s. Believe It Or Not The Car That Got Me Into The Whole Car Scene Was A 3s! Lol. It Was The Gto From Gran Turismo! I Just Dont Have A 3s Because I Cant Afford It. If Ur Lady Is Going To Be Driving It Too, Get The 3s. She Wont Appriciate The Gsx For What It Is. My Girl Wanted To Get A 2g Talon, So We Got Her A Esi. (a Friend Sold It For Cheap) Lol. When She Started Driving It...she Started To Notice The Difference. Now She Always Wants To Take My Awd 1g. Lol.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

HOLY SHIFT KEY BATAMN! LOL

The woman has already had a 98 GSX though, and she enjoyed that car.

No pics yet, I guess the first thing to do if Jana wants to seriously think about a 3S or DSM is to put the Jeep up for sale and hope it sells.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

I do remember though, as soon as you guys go rid of the DSM you said you would never get another and that you were happy you got out of the moneypit. Just letting you know, the 3S, especially a modded one will probably be just as fussy ;)

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

Thats why you buy an EVO! Hahaha jk.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

LOL, I have a renewed faith so to speak. For the information I have, given the car is in GREAT shape what do some people think a good price would be?

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

I'd still go off KBB/NADA. It shouldn't be worth much more than that anyways cause it doesn't sound like it's a very very unique 3/S. Just my opinion.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

Hmm...sounds like a dr650 car. Send me a pm with the car info allan, I'll browse it over for you, see if there are any holes.

Hopefully it works out for you!

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

Buy it?

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

Not at the moment. I'm really torn on what I want to do and I'd need to sell the Jeep before I coudl pick anything up. If I could move the Jeep by the end of May I think I'd buy the Stealth. If I can't unload the jeep by mid/end of summer then I'll keep it and wait till I have a few loans paid off at the end of the year and really have some buck to spend.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

Post up some details on the Jeep and I will pass the word around!

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

By that time, you'll find a pretty nicely modd'd Evo for sale instead :) Yay, haha....

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

Well I fired up the Stealth in question this past weekend, and drove it around a bit. It's been a very long time since i've driven something remotely that quick. I was wrong about the size of the turbos on it, but i'm gonna leave my new findings out of the limelight for now. :D

I really like the car, and the 99 front end is sweet on it, however I think I would shave the mitsu emblem from it as it just doesn't look right on a Stealth.

I'm hoping to see what happens with the Jeep and then go from there, but I'd say it's 50/50 on weather I'll be driving the Jeep or the Stealth in a month or so.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

Hopefully you get that Stealth, good luck with the Jeep sale! Have you talked to anyone about selling it on consignment yet? Not sure if Steve does anything like that, but I know a lot of smaller/local lots do.

Re: 99 GSX vs 96/97 3000GT VR4
 

I haven't really advertised it much yet in any means. I will do that after it get's all dazzelled up again and the tail light and bumper are fixed (next few weeks). I'm not in any real rush, but if it sells quick, then yes, it's RT/TT time! WooT!
