Re: Help a n00b out here.
Hmmm..i read the post but doesnt answer my question much. Is there anything i can look for interior/exterior/under the hood to find out which it is? I'll probably take some pictures and post them soon. It's winter here though :x

Re: Help a n00b out here.
If its a GSX is AWD. If it doesnt have a badge on it, you have no choice but to look under the rear of the car for the rear differential. There may also be an orange sticker on th door jamb stating that the car has a viscous rear diff, if it has one (not all AWDs do). If its a GST, its FWD turbo. RS or GS is niether AWD, nor turbo. The motor will be on the left side, while the turbo cars have it on the right. Hope that helps.

or you can do it the easy way
 put the cluth all the way in, rev it up to about 5k, and drop the clutch if tires screech and take a minute to catch ground, its a gst if you launch forward as uf u were hit from behind by a car, its a gsx (awd) come on peeps thats the easy and fun way
