I know this guy, he has one of THE CLEANEST 1G's I HAVE EVER SEEN. Dude knows what he's talking about.

Still wouldn't do $10K though.... probably $8.5K. Your limits will be the 1g rods/2g pistons/550's if you're looking to go big, and the FWD (doh!).

Still a pretty nice ride for what it is. It has the turbo for a DD FWD car and it's clean as hell from a qualified car guy. See what you can do on price.

You'll like the 16g on the FWD although you'll probably hate it off the line since it hits so hard.

Here's a cleaner, AWD, cheaper DSM that's IMHO a better buy.
