Most likly getting a 92 lazer turbo for winter car,
it needs
tires/rims
motor mounts
a new turbo
has been sitting a year… sounds wierd to me but im going to take a look at it. How hard are motor mounts in these cars. when i get back from looking at it ill be wrting a 10 page book.
still waiting for a reply via email, have been going back and forth, says the bodys in great condition just neeeds attention to the turbo and wheel area. i might just bypass the turbo and get some NA headers from a junkyard. 1 less problm to worry about during winter.
you already sound intimidated by this car. cant imagine when something actually goes wrong. a car like that, id do the timing belt/balance shaft belt(or removal) immediatly.
do a timing belt asap. 4G63 is an interference engine. i have no desire to ever work on a DSM again, unless its my own. after doing a ground up rebuild on a TSi, ive had enough… start reading on dsm sites, plenty of info out there on these things.
