Anyone know this car?

[Guest]

I would stay away from high mileage cars. It's a bigger brother of the dsm. Which to me is a money pit. Your going to atleast spend $3k on a tranny? plus the cost of a car. You still have a car thats worth $3k with 155k miles.

yeah, those tranny's like to go out on those frequently...but hell, its a dsm...what do you expect hahahaha

They are worth a little bit more than $3k...especially with a refreshed tranny...and for that $3k you could build yourself a kormex one.

A friend of mine actually test drove that car before the tranny was fucked up. It drove nice he said and it had a really loud BOV. I dont know how the tranny got fucked up though.

heard the same thing over and over when i looked into them as an AWD coupe possibility

[24valvenotak]

it is a pretty tight engine bay. I wouldnt say its hard to work on, just a bit of a hassle. there are always four or five things on top of or too close to what you need to fix/change. Swapping spark plugs is easily an hour job if youve never done it before.

ill throw a tranny in it for you though... if you can find one for yourself and one for me

Theres an upgraded Kormex tranny on 3si right now for $900+shipping...and you just missed a single kit including PT61, fuel, FMIC, etc for $2k...
