Alright, hey guys, My names Rob. I just turned 26 on Dec. 20th. I bought my first DSM (91 Talon N/T) back in april, and stepped up to a 94 GSX with 75,000 original miles.(only been in the game for 9 months and already have owned 2, These cars are addicting) here's my dilemma. Found out in october that my fiance' is pregnant, with MY 1st child, she has a 5 year old which i might as well be his dad. a few weeks ago i found out that cylinder 1 has no compression. but it still fires normally(weird.) leakdown test showed exhaust valves are kind of open. Now i haven't been able to do a boost leak test yet due to financial ordeals but it is next on my list. along with a major rebuild. The lady i bought it from (original owner) never did timing belt or anything of that nature. So first off my list starts rebuilt head, Timing components, Arp head studs, 3g lifters. water pump. Etc. then to get rid of the old azz rubber IC lines and step up to hard piping. maybe a boost controller. The only mods i have done really is removed the BCS, and Put a K&N minus the air can. And a 3 inch exhaust also Boost gauge. My only problem is i also need to do Clutch kit. amongst some other maintenance like the trans drain and fill, diff service etc. But what bothers me is in June my child will be born and i have to get all this stuff done before than. My bill just in parts from dsm graveyard is gonna be around 1000 and im trying to see if there is any honest people out there with GOOD used aftermarket parts that are willing to sell for cheap. or if anyone knows of a good cheap vendor that i can get my bill down a little bit. I'm suppose to be saving up money for this child but right now the cars more important since it is my daily driver and i don't want it to blow timing belt or anything of that nature while i have my new born in the car. Also if there is any suggestions on other things i should do since i will be pulling the motor would help greatly so i don't have to do this again. I love my car, ever since i took it home the first day i just can't seem to get off the DSM rush. I won't sell it but i wont just let it sit around either. Sorry if this is so long, it's 3:30 am and im wired awake. But what do you guys think i should do, car runs fine still and pulls hard with the way it sits. but once taxes come back i will have a better idea of the amount to spend. any of you guys and girls. have anything they want to sell on the slightly cheap just pm me and let me know. Thanx i am gonna leave you guys alone now. good nite.
