MidShipCivic · 09-13-2008, 06:25 PM

What is it a GSX or a GST?

I can usually tell on a 1g but not a 2g because at a certain angle if you can see the fuel tank on a 1g just under the rear bumper it's awd if not fwd.

200k mile sol · 09-13-2008, 07:31 PM

As of right now its a fwd. Soon to go awd over the winter,trying to finish getting all the swap parts. It dyno'd 240whp but thats before the whole changeover,new fully ported evo3,dsmlnik,255,880's all the goods ill post some dyno numbers in a few weeks when the new clutch is broken in.

KooK · 09-16-2008, 07:35 AM

I hate DSMs, they're unreliable piles and only idiots buy them. Didn't they come from the factory with a set of four jackstands in the trunk?

I'll post pictures of mine later.

Very literally clean interior what unreliable problems did you run into?

I've broken parts on mine due to incorrect install, high mileage parts so I just replaced everything I really like mines and if it keeps breaking it gets better and better parts wise.

Mine friends can't believe how I can keep that car still after going through 3 motors ( oem/used) and finally my 4th one (new everything) . My awd transmission has 177k and works stellar but I will not trust the transmission/ transfer case under any high torque.

KooK · 09-17-2008, 06:01 PM

chet - Tipped a little over 130k miles, so the thing does actually get driven when I can. Also I'm going to have to agree with you on the wheels, they're really not my favorite, I probably wouldn't have even paid more than $100 for them, but they work for now.

MidShipCivic - Just a bunch of little problems, I've poured money into the body, the stock turbo took a crap on me, the rear end was completely out of alignment, the tires were TOAST because of it, it was blowing a little blue smoke so I replaced the valve stem seals and did everything for a timing belt change.

Really, my biggest problem I've been dealing with is the turbo keeps trying to fall off. After about 20 miles the bolts start to loosen up and they will blow gaskets. I've broken two bolts in a brand new turbo so it's starting to piss me off at this point. I always tap the threads, I never reuse hot side hardware, I always replace it with factory Mitsu bolts.

Other then that, just a bunch of little things you can expect from an 18 year old car.
