going to look at a car thats for sale. Its a GST, but the guy said it had an engine swap and it now has an evo 3 engine in it.. Is this good or bad?

 

Ask him if its a 6 bolt. Yes its good. Its basically the same engine anyways, just a little less problematic.

Do you have pictures? Price?Condition? Miles? Accidents? Color? Mods? Future plans?

 

5000. No pics, ive seen it in person already just going wiht my pops tomorrow. From what what i saw it was in great condition. 1 or 2 little shpping cart dents that it. Its got a body kit on it , not a bad one though, kinda looks stock. Its a dark blue. Has a HKS BOV, front mount intercooler, 3" exhaust, and an upgraded turbo. Think it was just the turbo from the EVO. Aslo has a turbo timer on it and slicks. Bout to run the vin number on it right now.

 

also, its a 95 with 146,000 miles on it.

Anyone wanna run a vin for me ?? :P

 

The HKS BOV will have to go.

Seriously, the car is going to be a bundle of issues. At least thats what i think.

 

how comes?

 

a) It has a lot of miles

b) He is running a HKS BOV which tells me that he is either stupid, or cares little about the way his car runs

c) He has a bodykit, which means hes a ricer, and we all know how ricers drive.

d) Bodykits crack, not just due to small impacts, but to wind resistance too, when they crack, it can be thousands to repair.

e) Bodykits in general are FUGLY.

f) Its a GST, meaning its front wheel drive. Once you start pushing any decent amount of power you are going to find traction is non existant. Save a couple extra K and get a GSX.

g) 5 grand for a 95 GST is just bull****.

For less than 7k i have seen a GSX with a fully built race motor, race head, race transmission, bEVOIII16g turbo with all supporting mods, DSMLink etc... all for 7k.

 

well the BOV on it isnt HKS right now, but hes taking that one and giving me the HKS with it. Im not looking to get the best car right now, this is my first car. Thinking i can talk em down to 4.5k cash. Just wondering what you guys thought of it.

 

thats a lot of miles for 4.5k... i'd look around a bit more, try dsmtrader.com

 

not sure how many miles on the new engine though.. the 146 is just on the car.
