Just got a 1 owner unmodified 10 GSR, factory small wing car, 120k miles and tons of service records , including shipping it 400 miles. I am familiar with the 8/9s , what would be the first things to do outside of basic maintenance. Thanks

 

Maintenance and drive it would be my suggestion lol

 

12k!!! Wow what a deal. Yea second that, every single fluid if you can, but at minimum, motor, trans, transfer, and rear diff (both fluids here). And post a pic damnit!!

 

POST PICS!!!! SUPER DEAL! I'd like to get a Big wing, Obviously bolt on's but keep it stock turbo.

Full Intake
Hard short route IC Piping
Larger Intercooler
Turbo back 3.0 Inch no cat
Fuel Pump
Tune you should easily be over 100 WHP more than stock.
Keep it there Driver mods and then look at suspension/ wheels.

 

I'll post pictures, I got lucky I got a phone call from a friend working at the location when it was traded in and showed up. The rear bumper has a dent. I've had a budget set aside for a 04-07 sti close to delivery miles and a red IX MR sub 10k miles, so not sure if I will keep it long unless I sell my taco and DD it. I have a VIII GSR, 127k miles - weird story the original buyer was the GM of a mitsu store, it got bought back as a lemon, next owner kept it until 5 months ago and traded it in for a mazda 3 turbo awd......ended up getting that car for 16k from Nevada. Underside looks like its factory fresh. Did a ton of servicing to it , just have the brakes left. I should post a pic, you guys wouldn't believe the mileage is 127k unless you saw the interior

 

Also it has some odd cbe I found out today, and a aftermarket head unit. I tried to run the vin on monroneylabels.com and they emailed me and said they can't pull a build sheet. Anyone have an idea how to figure out original options?

 

Edit

 

My

2003 VIII “lemon” I got. The dealer told me the paint and car was rough. It sat in the garage because the guy couldn’t drive stick anymore for like two years. It had a bunch of Nevada sand dirt on the paint. One day of pre soak, wash, clay bar, paint correction using Jescar compound followed with Menzerna 3 in 1 , it’s probably the nicest paint I’ve ever seen on a Japanese car this old. All original too….wish I could find out what the lemon reason was for. It just doesn’t make sense, the engine is obviously original and the car is completely untouched. Believe it or not, the car had the original tires on it when it showed up. 120k miles on original tires….

 

pic from a Dunkin Donuts run. the Teenagers working there loved it and took pictures. I said you guys never do that when I come in my STI or R32 LOL

 

looks good!

 

Thanks, wasn't going to buy but when I saw the factory small wing and dealer option chrome caps, I figured it must have been babied

 

Running the vin through carfax has always provided me with an original build/window sticker. Try that.

 

Definately. I am not even a Fan of the X's but that one is nice, understated and clean.


Also I PM'd you back about the VOLKS. I'll actually be at Lime Rock November 7-8 doing a racing event.
