Dont get a 3g gs....you can find them cheap but it wouldnt be a smart plan,very costly to upgrade performance wise..Id get the gsx, baby it and mod it then when your experienced see what itll do....alot of people get into wrecks, fender benders, etc with their first car so thats something to keep in mind.5 spd is important to know, some driving jobs wont hire if you cant drive one

i just bought my 98 gsx 5 spd, fun and fast bro.....not many around either, i fell into this one not knowing what it was...go gsx if u can find one! just don't crash it and kill urself!

I'm only seventeen at this point, I got my gs a year and a half ago (bought myself, couldn't afford the gst/gsx) cause I was only really into the look at the time, now I wish everyday that I had waited and gotten a gsx, I'm saving for one as we speak. Definetly go with a five speed, and if you have any intentions of tuning, don't waste your money on a rs/gs. But thats just my .02

yeh, thanks for the tips guys

if you have anything else you think i should know / learn just lemme know. Im open for any help

i too didn't know all about the different trims and bought a gs not knwoing what I was getting and wish I had waited for the turbo models. but right now I am waiting for all parts to arrive and then I'm gonna be turboed too. so it is possible to correct your mistake. and 5 speed all the amy man

Well, i just learned there is a pretty nice strip about 30 minutes away from me. And apparently alot of people go. And from what i hear.. a 93 talon tsi is unbeaten...?

that makes me wanna get my car and start learning
haha

yea they are fast cars. saying that all the imports around me are hondas and lcosest track is hour half away ive been a couple times never taken my car but there arent many dsm's and when there is not much better than a 9.5 fast yea but there are hondas here in 8s (humpleperformance.com) idk what they are running pretty fast though. thats why im building my dsm im tired of the hondas there are really only 2 or 3 people in my town(55000 population) that do anything to dsm's and they all run 14's so not much to say about them.

Also, in this video, when the gsx shifts, you can hear air..pressure i guess?
idk, im new to this

when it shifts, what makes that sound? the turbo?

sorry about the rookie question, lol

blow off valve. do yourself a favor and go and research as much on a gsx as possible. learn all about turbos and everything. and im not saying that to be a d-bag but as a friend cuz one of my buddies did that for me and its cool to learn about :thumbsup:

oh, of course man
ive been lookin up a good amount of stuff
(not that i necisarily understand it yet..lol)
but im lookin

make sure you visit the FAQ. it will help alot

ahh, i found a 92 talon tsi. for 4k though..is that about right?
check it out

http://louisville.kijiji.com/c-Cars-vehicl...QQAdIdZ45661317

im not sure if its a MT either, ill have to call and find out

4k is a bit much but if u got the money grab that fucker up! i like the 1gs much better than the 2gs

oh, i actually thought 4k was a bit low for the tsi, but idk that much about the talons.

and ya, its everything ive been wanting, im just hoping its MT

I dont know ur zipcode so i used mine but i dont see it making much of a diff.. anyway asuming its MT here are the 2 possibilites:


TSi AWD: http://www.kbb.com/KBB/UsedCars/PricingRep...QuizConditions=

TSi FWD: http://www.kbb.com/KBB/UsedCars/PricingRep...QuizConditions=

those are the worths of the cars according to Kelley's Blue Book.

oooh, nice
i think i would buy it even if it was overpriced just because of the simple fact that i cant find ANY gsx's or gst's in my area. So when i found this tssi i was suprised that i found it.

Oye.

wait till you find what you want.

haha
well
i think i found what i want, its a 2g talon tsi awd
buttttt, i dont have the money right now, so im hoping the seller dosnt sell it for about a month or two

Good luck with that.

I know of a couple GSXs for sale when you have the money shoot me a PM I'll see whats up.

i would say go with a manuel 98 GSX!! their sexy and have a grip of potential!! if you go with a non turbo's car then you are going to have to buy a new motor or get the N/A equiped so it can handle boost and i promise you that aint cheap!! not at all also their is an advantage with the GSX AWD... not many cars will get you off the line if you can launch it right an the reason i say manual is because you get to control the car how you want to not like an automatic!! yea easier in traffic an things like that but at the strip or on the street def. get a manual!!
