Finally... After 8 years I can finally say I found the DSM I've been searching for.

One of my best friends works with a guy in his late 40's that's owned it off lease since 1995. It's never seen a winter, never seen snow. It's fair weather driven only, hardly ever sees rain and garage kept. 93k kms all original on the clock, the only mods include a full Apexi N1 exhaust, ACT clutch, and 1" drop lowering springs. Thankfully it's a non-ABS car, cloth interior. The word clean does not begin to describe it, I can't believe I own it now.

Never was posted for sale. I love it

Here are pics as we got it on the trailer, will post more once I'm home. The 16's have not a bit of oxidation on them and brand new tires, he also threw in 3G 17's that were on the car for most of its recent life. I have the full stock exhaust too!

Wow, Nice!

Wonder if this is even cleaner than Ryan Duffy's recent find? I'm all kinds of jealous!!

He's baaaaaaack.....

Congrats Lucian! she is keeper this time

Yeah. I am extremely happy with the thing. It drives so nice too! I've never gotten to experience such a fresh and stock car and see what they are like from the factory.

I am definitely thankful to be owning this right now and I plan to keep it for a long time to come. This is not something that comes up everyday that's for sure.

Very nice find!

Nice!.

Nice find!

Any idea's as to what your plans are gonna be for this one?

Wicked can't wait to see her!!

More pics:



Hatch struts are blown but luckily I have another brand new pair!



And I've never seen switches that aren't worn off.









I have never owned one that you can still read this sticker from the factory.











I washed the car tonight, and the paint shines great. It is rough to the touch so it needs to be clay barred, polished and waxed to look even better. However for a 22 year old car (built May 1993) it still looks great.

I took it out for a drive and it drives like a brand new car. No funky smells, no weird noises. No clunks, no squeals, not a single fracking rattle... it's quiet and rides great and smooth on the H&R springs.

For plans, it's staying the way it is for some time to come. Of course I plan to do the regular preventative maintainace. Full timing belt job, new accessory belts, all the fluids drained and replaced, new brakes all the way around, under coated, and all the seals and trims protected to keep it as fresh as possible for a long time to come.

This isn't something that comes around often so I want to take really good care of it.

Cool!

Sweet pick up man!

Wow that's mint!

I also like the staggered lm-r's on the Hyundai parked next to it lol

Wow, so nice, take care of it.

The more pictures you post, the more amazed I am at how new it looks!

Thanks boys! Here is a daytime pic

Liked 😀

Great find! It's like the even-better-looking younger brother to mine.

Holy sh!t man! That's a great find!

That car is amazing, I love the grey rims. The strut bar is aftermarket right, I didn't think they came with them from factory?

Extremely clean and well kept 1Gb. This car makes me want one again!

They're absolutely SOLID from the factory.

Glad you found your unicorn!

It does look even cleaner than mine! slightly lower km too. Sweet find. I can still hold a 6 bolt over your head though.

Thanks guys.

Yeah the strut tower bar was added of course, I wouldn't call that a "mod" though as I can remove it in about 30 seconds lol

And yeah it's a 7 bolt. But it has no ABS, factory bigger brakes, and rear LSD. It's so clean it doesn't matter to me if it came with a 7 bolt, a 6 bolt, or a no-bolt.

I'm not one to pick a 7 over a 6 but the 7 bolt in here is plenty strong for my plans... Aka not many.

That's what we all say....

Drop an internally gated FP 68HTA in there and call it a day!

That way you can stay "stock" and clean.

Finally got under it to get a better look. I haven't cleaned or done anything to it.

Wow there's a lot of dust in there!!!!


Looks like it needs to be driven

OMG look at those screws! You got jipped!

Can't wait to see her in person man.

Yeah I need to wash the underside! It is dusty, but that's not a bad problem to have

Thanks guys. I can't wait for next season

Sooooooo, you're not gonna do AWD donuts in the winter?

Absofuckinglutely not sir Not in this car, ever

You have some mad self control, even if I did find a clean shell I would be undercoating it like crazy and ripping through the snow!

Lucian, may I live vicariously through you? I am extremely jealous this is the find I have been looking for, not easy to come by.

That undercarriage is unbelievable!

Definitely a perfect score. Of course i wish it was a 1999 2g GSX

Beautiful find! I always wonder how cars like this even still exist sometimes...

It was "inserted" into the Matrix, and Lucian came across it, which means it was for him.

That means he did something right/good recently.

I was going to make a Back to The Future reference, but yours is funnier

Thanks guys. I did a few things on it, I installed the weighted leather OEM knob I've been hoarding for a few years on it. I changed the brakes since the fronts had a seized caliper and warped a rotor, so it has new 2G calipers, new ceramic pads and new rotors. I bought the hybrid stainless brake lines to mate the 1G chassis to the 2G caliper, the lines are black so they look factory. I also have rear black stainless lines that need to go on as well. The rear brakes were recently changed, they look and function like new. It's also the first DSM I have that not only has a working hand brake, but 3 clicks holds it up a steep driveway

I clay barred it and waxed it, although it will receive a full proper detail in the spring.

It drives much better without the dragging caliper. It's on wastegate pressure, so 9psi but it creeps to about 12 and pulls really well for stock

Here are some pics, Jeremy came to visit.
