New guy, looking to buy

[Patrick91]

Hey guys. I'm new here and hoping you guys can give me some good advice. I currently drive a built 94 Mustang gt. Love the car, have done everything to it myself and wouldnt have it any other way. Here lately though I have been craving something different. This led me to my search for a DSM to purchase. Im just hoping you guys could point me in the right direction for what to look for when buying. I am aware of a few small things that I want. I'd greatly prefer AWD. I have no preference as far as Stick vs. Auto. Just looking for a fun DD that I could enjoy modding, while getting some smiles by surprising a few unsuspecting drivers. Any insight would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

Haha gotta find one in the area. They're hard to find around here it seems like. Are they hard to work on, tune?

This should help get you started http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/fre...estions/238710-dsm-used-car-buyers-guide.html and welcome to the addiction that will consume any and all funds you may have set aside for your mustang.

A bunch of people think there hard to work on but once your understand how everything works together,it will all fall into place.

only car i've ever built was a 2004 STi and a DSM compared to that is a walk in the park, everything is right in front of your and very easy to find. the forums are a great place to start cause if you ever have trouble you can expect most of these guys to know what the problem is by just a few small details.

good luck!

Couldn't agree more, I know when I was first learning how everything worked it seemed a little over whelming, but once I actually got in there and jsut did it, it was so much easier. I was actually more intimidated by the 5.0 in my old 91 gt then I was by my talons motor haha.

Thanks for the kind words so far. Like I said. I'm still shopping. The market is very small here and I'm still unsure of what to look for as far as problems and such. I would trade my car for a clean one in a heartbeat though. Been a fun car, but I'm ready for something new.
