First DSM!

[ultimta]

Hey guys, I posted a thread a few months ago located here: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/466947-questions-before-buying-gst.html
In regards to a DSM I was considering purchasing.
I decided against buying a modified DSM and was lucky enough to find a bone stock 1997 GST Spyder with 130k original miles, and with about 5k miles on a rebuild for my first DSM, and first car for that matter. I purchased the car from the shop that did the rebuild.
Anyone want to guess how much I paid for it?

3k? It's clean and white the best color. Must be glad in your decision to wait!

Very nice looking car and a great platform to build off of. I'd say 4500 being the color how nice it is, and the fact that hes in florida.

Pretty close!
$2,500 and its pretty clean. Runs strong, turbo spools strong.
Only issue Ive encountered is it idles kinda rough when the AC is on, compressor regulates every 5 seconds or so and causes the engine to jump 200-300 RPM.
of course that's no problem because its plenty hot and the top is always down!

That is very clean and like it alot

put a gauge on the a/c you might be low in freon and that is why it cycles so much. also adjust your BISS screw to increase you idle to fix the low idle while it has a drag on the motor

Need a big front mount to fill in that opening in your bumper cover.

Congrats, patience definitely pays off...looks like you did well

Nice find. Also don't mess with the BISS screw until you have fixed all your boost leaks and also clean throttle body, if its too dirty it can cause low idle.
