im looking at getting this '98 gsx, but my only concern is that it has 51k without any kind of tune up ever done on it, except for oil changes. is this really going to be a problem? i know that the 60k tune up is a big important one cuz of the timing belt, but should i even worry about the car...
i'm gonna be looking at a 1998 GSX with 80,000 miles, and i was wondering what kind of maintenance should have been done? what are things i should check for? i only know that the timing belt and water pump should have been done at 70k, but anything else i should expect to already be done? if...
if i do end up getting the tsi, around how much will it be to "transform" it into a '97-99 eclipse? (front and rear bumber, turbo spoiler, anything else?)
which would you recommend that i consider buying?A) bone stock 95 Eagle talon tsi awd w/87k, JDM tranny, for $5200
-or-B) 95 GSX w/135k on the car, 40k on JDM 6 bolt motor, t3/t4, intercooled, everything, for $8000Keep in mind that i live in CA, so i don't want to...
thanks for the advice. I checked out that gsx today and i've decided against it. the tranny was too notchy for me and the 5th gear was starting slip. i guess it's back to the classifieds for me.
on average, what do you think the lifespan is for a moderately driven DSM? I'm looking into getting a 2g, but i'm not sure about all the high mileage i'm seeing (i found a 95 w/134k!)
i should also mention that i am a newbie coming from honda/acuras and i'm tryin my hardest to learn as much...
