How much did you pay for your DSM?

[gorf]

97 gst spyder 125k - $5500 bad ac compressor - $2000 to get replaced, $2000 Shep tranny about another $2000 in performance parts and approx $1000 for AWD swap.

Goal 350 hp awd convertible for under $15,000 - will be on road shortly, having some startup problems, just have to figure out what I screwed up..

 

[junior72]

95 Eclipse Rs $3500 (3 years ago)
95 Eagle Talon TSI AWD $1700 in Feb

Anything that could go wrong has gone wrong or is going wrong with the Talon. But with the help of fellow DSMers and LOTS of searching thru the forums, it's getting there. Oh yeah and lots of money.

3.5 years ago, 2400 super clean NT 1993 1g that i later converted turbo.
( I no longer own this car.)

[r6speed]

10,000 almost 4 years ago with 30,007 miles on it A few months later my first upgrade was when Selco false repoed my car on a front wheel dolly. Ripped apart the differential bushings so they replaced everything under the car (5200.00) Now has 50K on it with some fun upgrades and always more in the mail!


EDIT: OH ya and I just re-did all the interior from gray to black (see profile pics)

1 month ago - 1995 Eclipse GST 5spd STOCK w/ 139k - $2700

She already had a 99 front end conversion, oem 15" chrome wheels, new fuel filter, flushed coolant, steamed interior, rear adjustable agx shocks [no idea why just the rear ], and general maintenance w/ a history of ALL miata enthusiast owners. During this first month I've done the modifications in my profile [all DIY] + turbo hoop spoiler + front lip + pioneer headunit and plan on progressively adding more so long as I can manage to with college and all. My goal in the very end is a 250+WHP streetable daily driver w/ easy potential for more.

Glad to have found this site for the info and community! go tech guide's "stage 1 power"!! hahaha

[1AWD90]

Bought my first dsm a 91 gsx for $500 at a repo auction. Had a 112k on it at the time missing have the interior, junk clutch, shot tranny and alot of other mis junk wrong with it. However it had a mint body. Needless to say after about 3k into its finnaly trust worth to drive long distance but still no where in power like my 92 tsi was...

 

[gpz750]

Bought my 97 gst about a year ago with a spun rod bearing. Drove it once to makesure the tranny and everything else was working. Been modding and rebuilding, but hopefully I will get to drive it soon.
Gave 2500 for it. Interior and ext are in great shape.

Bought my 91 A/T awd about a year ago for $1000, did not run and was all taken apart. But the mods that were included were well worth it. Runs great now!

[tommy260]

1991 TSi AWD in 04' for $1100 COMPLETELY stock with only 106k on the clock. Paint faded a little, but what a steal!

 

[RED TREAD 97]

95 GST; 2K in monthly instalments, with small 16g... and 155 on the clock... I bought it from a buddy, who got a 99 GTS Spyder. All i had to do was give back the 18s and Apexi N1, I worked alot on the 95 before I bought it so I feel like I adopted a family member.

 

[kwbunn]

I bought my 91 AWD for 400 bucks with 128k, needing a head job due to broken timing belt. Got my 90 for free since it was a bare shell, had 96k and just swapped most of my 91 stuff as well as a few new things.

 

[montuner]

[MASMORE]
