Well after my accident with my gs-t i was pretty sad.. today i bought my latest dsm!! It's a 95 gsx, with 116k on the body and 40k on the 6-bolt. It has a pretty major problem. The passenger side upper strut mount rusted and broke. As of right now i'm not sure if it will need to be replaced or if I can weld some new steel in. the body is in pretty good shape the driver's side fender is dented and will need to be replaced also the hood is dented (from the strut) so i'll probably just get a carbon fiber hood. It has an evo 3 16g, a 6-bolt, an act 2600 clutch, new brakes, new tires, k&n filter, some hard ic pipes, a crushed 1g bov, a 3" exhaust and a mbc. so... worst case senerio i'll have to replace the strut tower support ($278) and get a new cf hood (~$500). I'll post some pics of it. Oh the best part...the car was $2000, yeah $2000. aaron and ted have been trying to stab me, and i feel i'll make some new enemies with this post :thefinger

I still can't believe i got this car!! I just finished taking off the strut and some of the little stuff around the support. It helped that the battery is in the "trunk". Here's some pics without the strut (thats me in place of the strut. :loser:

What in the hell did he do to that car? Check the compression?

That car looks to have been used in a demolition derby.

Enjoy the car though

I have the old 96 front bumper on my car that's the same color and is in good condition. If your front bumper is damaged let me know if we can work something out.

Whoaaaaaaa! Hey man, where did you pick that car up from?

ted_ex
11-13-2005, 10:47 AM
The car came from an...interesting part of Milwaukee. It's going to be even easier to fix then We first though. We are going to order the new body panel from Mitsu. I'll make my brother do a write up on the whole process so you can see what it takes. We also started the car and it runs perfectly. No misses or anything. And it sounds like a freakin beast with just a 3" with no muffler. 2k? Fuck I hate him. On the bright side I am the beneficiary on his life insurance..............

The front bumper is fine, the only thng wrong with the exterior is the driver's side fender, and the hood (excuse for a cf good :iceslolan ) He said he hit a pot hole (holy shit the streets sucked in milwaukee) I'm ordering a cf hood today, anyone have any suggestions? Hopefully it wont take mitsu too long to get the part.

Just a thought - but maybe a 97-99 conversion?? At least the front bumper! But then some like the 95-96.......

damn dude that car looks beat to shit lol but nice job man. Fix her up all perdy so she feels like a DSM again! That must have been a HUGE pot hole, like a mini canyon or something. Do a compression test!

Huh? lol

My friend and I were gonna drive 9 hours for it. I started looking at this one that he got and was like wow thats just like the one we're gonna go get... Then it clicked and I put two and two together and was like shiiiiit. lol Oh well, our search continues.

The guy told us someone was going to come look at the car on Sunday and was going to pay $2500. We just all stared at him until he said "ok I'll sell it to you" (seriously). I think with his current accident street another "accident" won't be questioned.

Blackcrow64
11-13-2005, 11:37 PM
It wasn't us that was supposed to come look at it on sunday. We were gonna just come buy it on Monday. Maybe someone else was supposed to come look at it? But we were gonna pay 2500 for it cause we all know its well worth it. lol

ez1286
11-13-2005, 11:40 PM
LOL i know i offered him 2k through an e-mail and he accepted. That car was on tuners for three months, so i think he just wanted to get rid of it.

Blackcrow64
11-14-2005, 12:17 AM
Wow, that guy is an idiot if he took 2000 when he could of had 2500... I mean, great for you man I'm glad someone I know got it. But if I was selling a car and had a higher offer... Yeah... Oh well, his loss your gain. lol

EDIT: Were you able to get a new strut tower area for fairly cheap then?

ez1286
11-14-2005, 12:48 AM
Yeah i ordered it for $205, I'm not sure but i think it comes with like four different parts from that area, i'll post pics when i get it. I also ordered a cf hood (VIS invader) cause the hood latch was broken off and the hood was dented where the strut hit it.

Blackcrow64
11-14-2005, 12:53 AM
Cool, our one buddy was telling us about how he could get us the part from the firewall clear up to the bumper for it... Hopefully its the same one your getting. Yeah, I heard the hood was messed up a bit too. The Invader hood should look really nice on it when its all finished.

20K sounds like a lot of money. I never seen any one get that much cash but good luck :). Dont get confused though , since 35% of that goes to your lawyer right away. Also if you have a doctor that performed any medical examination or helped you in any way he get around 30% of that too. So its like 3 people split the money. My mom had an accident,friends and me and all got around 20K but at the end you get more like 5 thousand or so after the others bastards take some. Its confusing and usually lawyers dont tell you how exactly everything happens but everytone tries to get as much money from you as possible. Good luck and also nice car for 2K. Now you are boosting AWD :)

ez1286
11-14-2005, 03:09 PM
No I mean I'm getting 20K after lawyer fees, I'm actually getting 29k before fees, as far as the doctor getting 30% i don't think thats true, maybe if he testifies if it goes to court.

I'm DONE!!! I finished the car last night!!!! Now i'm just waiting for my cf hood (coming between 1 and 5 <--GAY 4 hour window) It all went really smoothly, I got some duplicolor paint and it actually looks pretty close. The only thing that was a big pain in the ass was the speed sensor aparently the people who had it before me decided they didn't want to know how fast they were going so they just cut the harness for the speed sensor wasn't too bad though in the process i put new llom on all the wires so now the engine bay looks sexy. I'll take some pics later my camera was being gay so i couldn't take any pics during the project.

Whiplash is no joke. See a couple MD's/Chiros. I worked in a hospital for a couple years and that stuff is no joke.

On the other hand, congrats with the money. Spend it well.
