Back in the game!
I am going to be back into the DSM world. I found the car that I am going to buy, either today or tomorrow. It is the OEM orange paint. GSX. Hopefully the 4g63 will treat me better than the 420A.

I picked her up for $4400 but she needs a little TLC...I think I have a vacuum leak somewhere, and 2nd gear has a little grind, but it rides like a dream and it has brand new tires on brand new GST cromies.

Good find. Time to start having some fun! Good luck with your new purchase. Maybe I'll see it around Harford County somewhere.

It has some quirks, I think it has a vacuum leak somewhere, it idles at just under 2k and occilates a little, and it revs up very slowly. Anyone that wants to help feel free to stop by and lend a hand. The engine bay is dry and VERY clean.
It did make the 140 mile trek from Ricmond, VA. Where I bought it.

Here are some more pics. The car is almost perfect. I have a small vacuum leak from the BOV vacuum connector, and the CYL 1 coil pack is bad I think ( hope).
She runs great when the cyl is firing.

2G BOV, always a good sign. And, the first thing to fix.

The radiator is a metal top and bottom...the previous owner blew the last engine b/c a rock put a hole in the bottom of the plastic radiator and drained all the coolant.
