I don't care what you do but if it where me I would appreciate the heads up and warnings before finding out the hard way.
People like me? Fuck yourseself.
I was only telling him to be ready to wrench on his own car. I bought my first DSM (galant vr4 1667/2000) when I was 16 and I went from not knowing jack shit about cars to replacing a turbo with in the first month of owning it. It brought me into the DSM community which used to be filled with cool people. Back then everyone local was always willing to help out and be friendly now all people do is bitch.
Again fuck what everyone has said, I would look for a nice stock/stockish auto 2g and have it looked over. They can be reliable, the only reason they are not is becasue people like to rag the fuck out of them, when they dont know what they are doing.
