Dude, do you search for anything?

 

Look on the DSM boards up there or craigslist...this is a conquest forum, not to sound like a dyck or anything but how would we know.

 

Ask FANTA, he knows where everything is on the internet.

I think there small inside, the back seat is worthless especaly in the drop top other then a place to throw your CD case and other stuff. They drive OK. When it breaks it's a real B but you have a quest it's almost as bad to work on only parts are easier to come by for most stuff and there is a huge after market for it.

my buddy has two of them he is in love with his car. it drives good and power range is very nice. the are a pain to maintain cuz they can break donw. but if you kno how to keep t in good condition its a great car. if you want to you can ask him about it. he goes by 93 GSX TURBO on here. you can ask him anything about gsx. he'll answer them. i'll let him kno you might send him a message...

as for driving one hard it will take you a bit to get use to it. I had a very hard time with my friends. #1 I have never had an AWD car and was only use to rearwheel drive. #2 IMHO they give little to no feedback warning when it's going to go. Maybe it's just the way he had his set up but in turns you could push it and push it and it felt rock solid then boom it would just let go. Maybe that was just me, just that it wasn't my car, that it was AWD IDk but most cars let you know when they are loosing grip and you can kinda play with it.

what year you looking for? if you do go to look at

one look at the axel where it goes through the hub.

my axels on the car were like cold welded to the hub

with the rust in them. The car is from upstate NY salt

capital of the world. it seems they did not grease the

axels from the factory. i had a friend put the axel and

hub in a 40 ton press and all it did was mushroom the

tip of the axel. what a mess.

 

i would at least ask when the last time they had the

axels out. also push on the top of each wheel with a

good shove. thats how i found the rear hub to be bad.

i still got the car. runs great. 100% all stock.

 

my 1995 TSI AWD Early vented rear rotors. :taz: :nopityA: :lightingzapA:

have every suspension part in those checked out if you buy that model, the parts alone to change all those links especially on an awd cost more than a new engine and tranny

 

and they seem to rot out the fronts of the shock towers from the few I've seen under the hood, its at the weld seam in the front of the strut mount

 

price some of those links for the suspension if you don't believe me, the bushings in them all wear out

Hey guys don't ride him too much. At least it's a Mitsu and not a Honda. I owned a 97 with the tall wing. Loved it. Handled great and hauled butt. The two wheel drive one had kinda bad torque steer. My GSX AWD didn't. I got as good gas mileage as my Quest. I had absolutely no problems. I bought it used with 22k miles on it. The back seat is small but it's a sports car. Most don't have or need a rear seat. If you can find a low mileage one that's been kept up buy it. It'll last if you maintain it. They are a blast.
