Well, my '94 TSi just got towed away today so now I am officially DSMless. Deffinately kind of a sad feeling, but I felt it was something I needed to get out from under; time to move on to the next project I suppose. Someone on this board is lucky enough to now be in possession of it and I wish him the best of luck, I know he'll turn it into a great car once again.

congradulations!

Erik took it didn't he?

SPELLCHECKER - its congraTulations


Anyways too bad it had too be a good running dsm to be parted. Well good luck in your future automotive ventures.

He sure did.....suspension, built tranny, and all.

It wasn't a good running dsm anymore. That is why it was parted. I am considering the same with my 92 now.

With the exception of a rod-bearing, everything was great with the car.

What are you going to purchase now Chris?

Oh I have something nice picked out ;)

I KNOW WHAT IT IS!!!

Atleast it wasn't a big problem with the car :stick: 7 bolt right?

s2k most likely?

-E

s2k or 3000gt vr4 was the running leaders last time I heard.

Something "reliable" I assume. Although a DSM with 160k on it fairly modded seemed quite reliable to me. Things break and thats how it works with old cars, especially ones that are modded. ;)

Good luck with the new car.

I vote 3gt

It was a 7-bolt, but that had nothing to do with the failure. My head studs had streched allowing coolant in to the engine oil causing the rod bearing to fail.

There will deffinately be no 3/S in my future, decided I want to get something newer than a 90's car. I test drove and EVO8, and to be honest, I was not impressed. Reminded me a lot like a stock DSM...fairly bland and boring requiring mods before it can truely be a fun car.

so, you're going to get a porsche 911 turbo? they are fast and handle great out of the box. the only problem is the price. but i bet you could steal one someplace.

Evo 8 reminds you of a dsm? How could that be? They only have engine components that are almost identicle ;)

Cool, two unintelligent posts in a row.
