ya you never know how the car was treated before you got it. the guy could have beaten the hell out of the engine and turbo before he sold it. i just would never buy a car with a turbo already on it, because i wouldnt trust what they have done with it.

 

well i know the guy and he knows his motors. He did the swap and i trust him but yea i see what your saying. But oh well. **** happens...It'll give me something to do

 

Very nice looking car.

Personally I am okay with buying a car already done. Sure its some one elses project but why wouldnt you buy a car that already has all the parts you would have put on it installed? The only reason I lean towards stock cars is because I like a car driven by a non enthusiest so i know it wasnt tuned and beat on. My subaru came from a 20 some year old girl. Completely stock.

 

Thanks for the backup Mark. I dont see a problem with stock cars either. I mean i want to eventually buy a completly stock hatch and do everything possible to it. But it is very hard to find a nice hatch now a days with no rust/problems

 

It turns out my tranny housing got cracked when my motor mount broke. I had a buddy JB weld it but its still leaking. I dont think any damage was done to the tranny itself just the housing. Anyone know where i can buy just the housing

 

Is that Mike's old car? That car used to be owned by my friend before Mike and it was super fast, if its the same one. I know Mike turbocharged it. That's my old CF hood............miss it LOL!
Nice car!

 

True, but once its out of the shop I will have the full right to enter ROTM.

 

I'd vote for ya

 

nice buy! good luck with the tranny housing. Up here GSR trannies are like gold. Hope everything works out. Hope to see you in ROTY voting =)

 

Nice ride, I know for the emissions in CA, u have to pay about $300 for somebody to jus pass u...of course against the law, but money well spent
