hes one of the lucky ones that catch it before its too late

this weekend my tcase leaked the oil out of it and locked up while i was driving!

i just replaced it, it wasnt too bad

keep it awd tho, dont go to fwd

id say get the car, its fun when stuff breaks, you learn more about the cars and become less of a car n00b, you wont realize just how big of a newb you were untill you own a dsm for about a year (if you try to do your own work)

and about the 22psi on a 16g, i run 23psi on my 16g daily with almost no knock (took a long time tuning around knock and timing to get the count as low as it is), but i tune it meticulously and keep an eye on the vitals like a hawk

if you take the time out to really tune the car, and the car doesnt have any other problems, you can do it..but i guess tuning tools are important too, i have a vpc and safc
