- Background
- Picked it up with a blown head gasket since I couldn't find another DSM locally. Really wanted a FWD DSM 1.8 or Turbo FWD, but couldn't find one. Oh well, I guess there are worse things than owning an AWD DSM....like getting stuck in an ice storm with a FWD. I had BogusSVO sell me a replacement head while at it. Goal is to see if I can build a reliable low boost DSM that gets great highway fuel economy along with AWD and good LRR all season tires in case I ever get stuck in a surprise snow storm and didn't take the Galant VR-4. Also building the vehicle to reduce my commute time. Planning on swapping the 4 bolt LSD rear with my Galant VR-4's 3 bolt LSD rear for less driveline loss. Planning on sanding down, wet buffing and re-clearing headlights then installing HIR 1&2 bulbs. Dark Green plastidip is also in this car's future. Don't want any drastic changes in the paint color, but want to freshen the car up. Might also kill the sunroof to save weight...not sure though....I think it might be nice for a daily. 16 psi after careful logging with stock injectors and rewired Wally 190 fuel pump is the goal.
