Well after some reading on here and then riding in somebodys 1G GSX I knew I had to look for a GSX as the 420A with the turbo would never satisfy...at least not with my wallett. So after some craigslist searching I found one in my price range, well actually it was posted for 4800, I sent him a pic message of 3600 and he said come and get it..then I asked if he would take 3400 (yea Im cheap) ...and he took it! So I drove it home and now its time to see what this car is going to need. I felt as though the man didnt know much about it and he had no papers whatsoever. He had only had it for about six months. He says it has a 6bolt swap and as a newbie to dsm land I wouldnt know if he was telling the truth or not...it also has a greddy intercooler and some other upgrades that he said which i had a hard time understanding his spanish accent. Anyway I know from reading that some much needed maintenance is due up first. I would like any advice from you veterans out there that could help me. Like... Since I do not know what kind of oil it has had..what would be the best synthetic choice? and What type of plugs? Wires? What I need is a good list of maintenance do's for my new 4G63...:hellyeah: Im pretty excited! It is pretty quick already even with the stock little turbo but before sinking any more money into it on levels besides maintenance I want to be sure that it's ready.. so please help a brother out..
 
also judging by the mount on the front, ( one with empty studs ) its a 6 bolt i believe 2g's use a single mount that doesnt wrap around the engine and thats what those studs are for, you can accually remove that with 4 bolts, usually holds the power steering pump but im not seeing it there? idk maybe pictures too small.
