need some advice from some dsm owners
 

hey guys hows it going im selling my supra and im getting a 97 gsx with a brand new motor and i wanted to get some tips for the first mods i should get done when i get it and wanted to find out if anyone lives in sarasota or close that i could talk to and ish well thanks alot.

I live in bradenton and will be at the track tonight.
Here is a great place to buy parts from and a good upgrade path to follow. http://www.buschurracing.com/upgrade.html
These cars are real easy to make fast but dont take short cuts. It will bite you in the end.

Tom posted a good link, there are many other sites out there that are very helpful. For example, www.vfaq.com will answer alot of the questions you may have in case something goes wrong. Then you might want to check out www.tampabaydsm.com (click on Bulletin boards afterwards). These are local forums and they are very helpful (many would say more helpful than these forums are). Anyways, good luck with your purchase (the only other thing I'd do is have someone that's had a dsm before help you check out that car...you never know). Good luck.

Just read alot! I spend most of my time on www.dsmtuners.com but there is also a lot of helpfull information on www.dsmtalk.com :)

Be care of what you read on either of those sites.
There is alot of mis-information on them.

dsmtalk sux nuts. bunch of wankers.

just do alot of research & do not take shortcuts as stated above. these car will last a long time as long as it has been very well maintained.

when you say it has a new engine, why does it have a new engine? give us some details on the car and price and whatnot.

ha ha ha welcome to the fast side... good choice.....

thanks alot guys im hoping to get it soon in like the next month the guy im buying it from is a mechanic and a family friend so hes maintained it well hes putting a brand new motor in it for me for free because he knows i wanna make it crazy fast i talked to a dsm person earlier today and he said go with the first gen engine? i know hes wright from what i ahve been reading let me know if the 2nd gen one will work fine or whats up thanks alot guys.:dunno:

1st gen = 6bolt 4g63
2nd gen = 7bolt 4g63

6 bolt is better if your going to do an engine swap anyways. Plus u dont have to worry about crankwalk, not that thats a big deal anyways.
