Re: wtb: tsi, daily driver
Look through the For Sale threads, there are a handful of them.
Stock, Cheap, Reliable, Not Beaten on? You're gonna be hard pressed to find all four of those qualities in a DSM.

Re: wtb: tsi, daily driver
I've got a good candidate. I really would hate to see it driven in the snow. Reason why I'm selling it. But hey, it's great. I drive it everyday, 18 miles each way to work and back.
Never let me down, even in very hot and very cold weather.

Re: wtb: tsi, daily driver
I lol'd when I saw the title of this thread. I'm gonna post up a "wtb:magical unicorn that poops candy" thread.
Mine is up for sale, but doubt it's a canidate. But I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring.

I'm going to wager it's an impossibility.

Re: wtb: tsi, daily driver
If ya have the money, Turboimports 1g looks like a great canidate for that. Looks to be one goregous 1g, but I would be sad to see it in snow.

Re: wtb: tsi, daily driver
Mines great. Wen't to it, started right up. Moved it to the street (unplowed). Plowed my driveway and than drove it right back onto the drive. Went to Holiday, grabbed some gas for the other snow blower and AWD worked perfect.
The vehicle is not perfect, but for a 1991. It's great!

Re: wtb: tsi, daily driver
Oh Yes If you dont wont any duct tape Definitely check Turboimports 1G out. As well as mine. IT starts up and drives as well. AWD DOES Rock IN THE SNOW. No Civic Can do that
