No, that is the wrong motor.. You could check around FB groups for a ready to drop in motor that wouldn't cost even close to what you were quoted, I have personally heard some not so good things about Pruven and DSM (pretty fair shop depending on who you talk to for Audi, BMW ect but not DSM)...
Hello DSMTuner brethren,I need some advise regard a 4GCS 6 bolt swap in my 92 1G AWD Laser, it seems neither the Upper Cover (holes don't line up) nor the lower cover (it doesn't fit at all really, a few holes line up but its a very tight fit) can be used, am I incorrect in that assumption...
Trying to sell a GST for $20k is craziness, I have a 92 1G AWD with 33k original miles, would love to know the market for it; if a 35K mile GST is worth $20k.. :thumb:
This car would be a hard pass, there are plenty of better examples out there, this car is worth about $3k max.. If you are a newbie and know nothing about DSM's I would wait and keep an eye out for something better.
Hit the FB groups "DSM Classifieds, DSM CLASSIFIEDS, DSM Junkie" along with BAT and other search tools and as Pauley said don't hesitate though, as the days of picking and choosing and paying low prices are coming to an end for both the 1G and 2G platforms; especially the nice ones.
Are you required to run one? We are "required" to in VT but I have never ran one and I have never received any grief for it.. Maybe just keep the front plate in the car and take your chances?
All of the cars you are looking for are on FB groups, join DSM Classifieds ect and you will see plenty of cars come up for sale, many are in CA which is not too far from you..
