In a couple months, Hamza (with the EVO) plans on giving me his 16G turbo, so i plan on putting that in and doing the internals necessary


It would be great if you guys ever meet in mississauga to get together, i look forward to seeing you all soon.

Regards,


Sunny

Hey buddy,
I pretty sure we have met before.

Im the guy that has a red 1g awd with the black and silver front bumper.
We ran into each other in the sheridan mall parking lot.

Anyways, Welcome to club dsm,

Aaron

I think you met the guy who owned the car before me, if it was in the last 3 weeks, he was there getting the used vehicle package.

Haha, It was probably a month or 2 ago...

Did you get a good deal?

Aaron

For what has been done to the car, and the general condition...I think it was a pretty good deal. It was listed at 7k and i got it for 6k.

It passed emissions and certified with no problem.


Is that a decent price for the car?

Seems alright to me.

I talked to the old owner and asked him about it, he told me it was not fast and it was only at 15psi.

To me, thats good news for you. I doubt the car has been overboosted.

Just make sure to stay ontop of the maintainence.

Alot of the guys here like to buy the parts from a member named Ziggy at RtmRacing. and bunch of guys here including myself get work done by Helder Dupont.

Goodluck buddy,
Aaron

welcome aboard.

Aaron is right if you stay on top of maintainence. These cars are amazing. I let my go and I have regreted putting off a timing belt ever since. Along with the 5th gear problem.

But with people like Ziggy and Helder along with many others on this board. Finding parts is atleast never an issue. Along with getting help.

Enjoy the time spent with the car. =] Come out for a cruise in may too =]

Welcome.

If that 16g is from an Evo, it wont do you any good. It will simply be an expensive paper weight.

Also, you do not have to replace the engine internals for only a 16g.

Welcome Sunny!

Sounds like you got a nice car for a nice price...



There are occasional meets in Mississauga when the weather is warmer. I haven't heard of one yet this year? The monthly Yorkdale meets are pretty close.

See you around 'Sauga!

I'm sure the missy meets will start soon.

Once Rob and I get our cars road ready that is....

Mine won't be ready for some time but I'm now within bicycle distance of the meeting spot.

Welcome to the board Sunny!

We have a big Spring Cruise happening in May you should come out for. Check out the details in the "General Events and Happenings" section!

Why would a 16g be an expensive paperweight?

Welcome Sunny,
Guess that was you in Milton, I had my wife's SUV so you didn't notice me. I've got a blue Lance GTS. Be seeing you around I'm sure and nice ride.
I also hope to come out to those missy meets sometime, been a long time!
Cheers

Thanks for such a warm welcome, its greatly appreciated.

I also was wondering why a 16G would be useless?

Also, im aware this is not the right section, but would anyone know where to get a FMIC with the piping kit?

Depends what evo. Evo 1-3 or evo 4-10?

and get their insurance from...

Welcome.

I should have been more specific. I automatically thought about the Evo 8/9 from the US, but forgot that now you could import the Evo 1 (and hence grab parts from it).

Sunny, if the 16g is from an Evo 4 or higher, it is useless for you. If it is from any other Evo, it is fine.

Ohhh ok the 16G was from an EVO 8 or 9

Then it is of no use to you.

Welcome.
Railton

Welcome to the club! Nice car Hope to see you around sometime.
