Which 2g to buy?

http://www.slowboyracing.com/skin1/c...ob_cropley.htm

They are very similarly modded, but the white '96 is $1300 cheaper. I think if the '96 had a 2g high wing, it would really complete the car. I am going on tues to look at it...

I knew that, but i still cheaped out and went with unpainted hubs, which don't look the greatest, after a while.
That makes sense, I guess they are thin because mine were rusted and ugly within two weeks. I'll be painting my hubs then!

My Uncle in a certified welder of all sorts, as is his father who builds some bad *** race cars, who tought him. If you want I can give him a call, I'm sure he wouldn't mind a side job.

I am going on tues to look at it...

Believe me guys, I am certainly considering another Evo. Difference would be no car payment for GSX/TSi vs car payment. With the new house (& mortgage!) no car payment would be nice...

As far as between the two DSM's, as far as 'beautiful' goes, I too would prefer the GSX. As far as which has a (slightly) better setup, better maintained, and probably needs less, that would be the Talon. The paint job on it cost something like $6000! It is white w/ blue pearl, which you can not see in the pictures. The suspension components have all recently been replaced, which is a big plus as well.

We shall see...
