well i have been wanting a GSX or TSI for a while, first gen that is. I was wanting to know what to look for in the car, IE if it smokes or what color smoke i should look for, ride style, engine sounds, things of the sort. i have one n mind, that is off this shady car lot in town, he droped the price from 2500 to 1500 cash. Kinda funny huh, well since i know some things about cars i looked it over. It had 160K on the speed o, dent in fender, motor ran and sounded good, i reved (5k-higher) it up because my friend was scared, and it sounded ok, idal fine, also the pedal was sticky, like hard to press, but i got the job done. Now i am going to drive it once the snow stops. I know if i buy it i will have to put money in to the car. i plan to get it running and fine tuned first, then manual boost controler, BOV, FULL EXHUAST not just a muffler, plgs , wires, battery,oil, fluids, new seal/gaskets. what do you all think. :rally:

PS i live in missouri, car year is 91 does 1000 dollars sound good?

Get out while you're ahead. ;) But if you really wanna get in the game, go for it, and plan for headaches and heartaches. :toast: :headache: :stick: :rant:

That gave me a headached reading that.

CRAIG

sorry I am in class, trying not to get cought.

Based upon your post, I definitely think you should do some more general research about DSMs before purchasing one. Look through some of the old posts around here along with reading through the "General/Newbie" forum on dsmtuners.com. The more research you do, the better off you will be in the long run :)

Welcome! :D

sure why not, but you don't need anything but the stock bov newb

A turbo DSM for $1000 that runs is a good deal. You might as well get it checked over by a local shop or professional mechanic though since you are still fairly new in the game. It doesn't cost a whole lot of money and its surprising whats visible once the car is on a lift.
