a new sexy dizzum!
 

PICTURES ADDED!

I made a hike 2 1/2 hours up north tonight to pick up my 9th dsm. Yes you read that correctly. 9 dsms in less than 3 years. ( recap is at the bottom for those of you too lazy to read :P )

I bought taunis old dsm for $350 ( 90 fwd turbo eclipse) and built 1 motor out of the 2 it came with. Make no mistake, this is not the sexy one heh. Then I was informed about this 91 tsi AWD talon that was way up north. I was pretty sketchy about going up there to check it out but after talking to this guy a few times, I decided I should.

For $850 I picked up a 91 talon TSI awd. It has alot of miles ( 18x.xxx) and FUCK NO it doesn't run. HOWEVER - it fit my wants / needs perfectly. The body is the darkish silver, 4 rust spots ( front fenders and a little on the rear quarters) and next to flawless paint. My dad will fix / paint the rusted areas so that is no problem. It snapped a timing belt so the head is trash. The car came with 2.5 turbo back exhaust, very clean 5 spoke alloy 16's with good tires, A/f - boost - and voltage gage I think, MBC, and yes leather interior. Oh yea, tranny shifts mint. Good fight?

By the time I got home, some guy was here looking at the GST. He wants to buy it for Raceways new 4 cylinder stock racing class. Instantly he wanted it. He doesn't know dsms, but I know what needs to be known to make his ideas work. Long story short, he's buying that car I paid 350$ for 850$ WITHOUT the running motor. Yes im giving him all parts he needs to make one work, but remember I got a freshly rebuilt longblock and im selling him the car + left overs for 500 more than I paid.

Now you ask why pay $850 for a car that doesn't run... Basically at the end of the day, I'm paying $350 for the exact car I wanted PLUS a rebuilt longblock with many new parts, all new gaskets, bshaft elim etc etc. Yes I had to buy gaskets and shit, but most of the peices to build the engine came with the GST in the first place.

I will post pictures as soon as I see some sun and when I figure out how to post them on here. I see SEX written all over this car within the summer :P

RECAP :
-Bought 90 eclipse gst $350. came with 2 motors, neither ran and one was dissassembled and had new parts waiting to be installed. I went ahead and rebuilt the motor and it sits on an engine stand waiting to be finished and installed. 1 - 2 hours out from completion

-Bought my ideal DSM for $850, needs a motor ( at least a head). Rebuilt motor goes in this car

-Selling GST for $850 as rolling chassis + my spare parts minus the main engine parts I needed to build one nice OEM rebuilt motor. 500 dollar profit and I kept the parts I needed.

Profit math is my favorite kind ;)

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
 

Wow dude, that's fucking awesome. Sweet deals!

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
 

So how do you know if the tranny shift fine if the car does not run?

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
 

Well I suppose I don't KNOW but he has reciepts showing the tranny was rebuilt within 15k miles and he had a shop install it and all of that. He was very honest about everything else. Honeslty, the shell itself was worth the 850. The tranny is just a bonus :)

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
 

Gee, I guess that makes the running 91 GSX I sold with a big 16G for $950 seem like a real bargain.

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
 

wait till you see pics. If you had a running DSM with a 16g and this body - 3k plz. I've already had someone offer 3k if the motor goes in and runs good. That's without touching anything else up :P

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
 

Im probably going to take your rims, just so you know... just leave it at my house for another week and that will be rent...

updated. Pics in first post

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
 

Looks good. Kinda like Jets' car minus the rear axle. One of my favorite colors when it comes to 1G DSMs.

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
 

agreed.. If the paint wasn't good on my dsm. I would have a paint job done to that color in a heartbeat.

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
 

Word, that color is awesome. Nice looking car, especially for the price!

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
 

great deals!

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
 

Those of you I talk to outside of DSMstyle know alot about what's gone on. But a quick summary for anyone else who might care or be bored...

The silver DSM runs and needs some little repairs ( couple gaskets for the intake area, BLACK RTV oil pan, new wires / plugs etc, basically a tune up) HOWEVER IT RUNS and drives like a champ :)I think I will keep it in the garage for 2 1/2 more weeks so I can fine tune everything and get as much preventative maintenance done as possible. I'll post up some more pictures of it's current condition in the next couple days.

If I end up actually KEEPING this one, my dad is repainting it the same color (mostly) and I'm getting that ghetto tint removed and re-done so it actually looks Black and nice. The underbody has some rust so I'm not sure if I really want to invest into this one.

The blue one never got sold. Guy backed out last second =/ So now it is sitting in a southern minnesota city along with 1/2 my dsm parts LOL. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with it yet. I'm still less than $2,000 into both the eclipse and talon combined. woot :P

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
 

OH YEA - FYI - This dsm has the smoothest shifting AWD dsm tranny I've ever used !!!! That alone is worth 400 + The nice redline fluids help out a bit im sure. Thanks LSE :)

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
 

Tauni's old blue GST, right?

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
 

1gs with pitch black tint and 16-17 rims look bada$$. they dont even have to be slammed.

Re: a new sexy dizzum!
