    If you were closer I'd come up and help. Enjoy working on these cars. But, this should help a lot...

    VFAQ.com It will have a walk through with step by step instructions and pictures of everything you will need for any situation he might and will run into with that car.

    if you are going to get into the world of the dsm, do yourself a favor and go ahead and make an appointment at the mental hospital... I had a Galant VR4 for a little while and I swear thats why I have to take anti-depressants to this day..

    It's not that bad. If you make power, you are going to have to be prepared to fix things. That's most modded cars.

    most dsm's get their bad rep because they are easy to make power with for very cheap... problem is most people get the cars make power and dont maintain them... you cant get a car with a 100k on it and make 300 hp and not expect problems...

    Most people use cheap parts and don't install them correctly or just rig something up. Which is why I had problems with mine. (From people that had it before me)

    well im not looking to do anything crazy with this... it would be a good platform for someone looking to do a mild build since the motor is fresh... just want to get the motor in and have it running

    Yeah Mike did most of it. I do most of the bolt on stuff but I don't have time, patience or welding skill to fab up some of the bits I have had them make.
