Crankwalk didnt happen to that many of the 2g cars. Most were fine. As far as the electrical problems, that's the first I've heard of that. Not saying it didnt happen, I've just never had it happen to any of the hundreds of DSM's I've worked on. There's nothing wrong with buying a 2g GSX or GST. Just be picky when it comes to finding the one you want. This means buying one that is stock, or has very minimal mods done to it. Most people purchased these cars with the intention of racing them, so you dont wanna pick up the ass end of someones project that either never materialized to its full extent, or some backyard mechanics "hobby car." There's another thread right here about the bad rap these car's get sometimes. Scroll to the bottom of the page. For the most part, as long as it's properly maintained, you'll be ok. http://forums.importatlanta.com/show...t=18315&page=2
