#1999, "Found a 1g for sale near me, cheap thinking about buying..."
I've been looking for a daily driver car just to get me around for awhile now. I've been without a car for over a year now. I found this 1g for sale on ebay nearby me. Just wanted to get anyones opinion on it and what to look out for if I do go consider looking at it. I'd prefer to not have to fix a lot of shit on it (always a gamble).

non turbo =( and ugly ass wheels! why blue? but if you just want a cheap daily driver, it's probably got some stuff wrong with it, but im sure you could fix it, if it's near you i'd go look at it and maybe get a test drive

It's not too bad. As long as it doesn't have too many issues, the price is decent. You can pick up a set of stock rims in average shape for cheap. I've seen rough ones given away.

IMO, that's a big misconception. I believe the real reason why turbo DSMs are considered so "unreliable" is because they are cheap and there are a lot of morons out there.
In my search for an AWD 1G, I found people who:
*used 87 octane on 17 PSI (Sioux City) *boosted way too high on stock fuel system (Maryland) *Had NO AIR FILTER AT ALL, vented BOV, "EVO" swap (Tampa) *and finally another lady that used 87 octane (Orlando)
So, I believe that with half decent maintenance, a turbo DSM will have a very, very long, healthy life. If you want a reliable daily driver, just get a stock turbo 1G and leave it stock!

Not to totally change the subject, but my current job situation changed, and I'm going to be working at a garage in town for decent money. No STi unless I win the lottery or steal one.
I was thinking about a 1G AWD and leaving it stock. Yea, the 2G is my racer, the 1G will be the winter beater. Same engine, same shit to deal with, AWD for winters, cheap, and hopefully cheaper on insurance. What do you guys think?
And NO, the AWD will NOT become the Street Racer, my GS-T must meet her destiny!

If thats what you want (and it sounds like it is) then go for it. AWD is always good for the snow anyways. as long as you dont mod it, keep up with the maintenance of it, theres no reason why you cant have a good running 1g.
