My best friend had this car before me. And well here is everything I know.
1. Had the timing belt replaced around 75k.
2. Rebuilt the engine @ 140k (not required, but was done to ensure life).
I love this car. It is AWD and turbo. However, I can't say this car is stock though. When it was stock it was great, but since I have gotten it I have added Injen Intake with a Cat Back exhaust, a new intercooler and a boost controller.
This car pushes 280hp at the wheels and has 148k, and burns NO OIL WHATSOEVER!
In a quarter mile drag I can run my car in 13 seconds @ 118mph.
THE BEST THING is the handling of this car. All the suspension is stock and it is amazing. No body roll whatsoever, even cornering @ 100mph+.
I owned a 96' Impreza LS Coupe with a turbo before this and this car handles a lot better and is faster!
I gotta agree, this car has hardly any body roll, add performance struts and lowering spring and (HOT DAMN!) this car has virtually no (as in NONE) body roll, unless going 110 MPH or above. Gotta' love this car!!! Yet it still shows superb handling and control, all the while, begging for more~!!!
WOW!!! I have only had my 93 GSX for a short time and I already love it. It is so sure of itself. It can accelerate out of corners so hard I expect it to fly off of the road, but it stays glued to the pavement. I'm looking forward to modifying this beautiful piece of engineering.
Cornering at 100, okay there. That's more of a curve in the road then a corner.
