It has Protane Polyurethane motor mounts.I upgraded the clutch with a street disc and A.C.T. extreme pressure plate.To increase handling, I dropped it 2" with a 3 degree camber kit and added a polished strut bar, Sprint springs and Tokik

This is all for $2950.....does this look a little...."too good to be true?"

not really. prolly high miles or the parts arent really what he listed or its got some kind of problem

It probably has no compression. All those mods on a stock 7bolt bottom end = recipe for crankwalk.

So where exactly do you see this recipe?

I agree with the recipe, what main does the car have? Ask the guy and I am 90% sure he wont be able to tell you, or he will make something up. The engine is either ready to blow, or is blown. Spend your hard earned money some where else.

yeah...350hp on a few mods?? is that WHP or to the crank?? too weird sounding. test drive it

[Five*Star*]

Maybe there was meant to be a 1 in front of the $2,950.


I've got my 1997 Spyder GS-T on there for $8400. It has a new 6-bolt engine, EVOIII turbo, CC stg 2 clutch/flywheel, new timing belt, etc..... It is also fully loaded, even chrome wheels and woodgrain dash.


Here is the IA link if you are interested in a real GS-T:

350hp isn't hard. It probably has a salvage title or is blown up.

I would still buy it for 3K. Put in a new motor (if thats whats wrong) for ~2000, and call it a day
