I have a 1991 GSI with 103000 miles on it. I bought it from a guy the beginning of June. He bought it from a guy last April who owned it since 1993. He bought it for his wife to do errands around town. Niether of these guys knew what the car was. Anyway his wife did not like it. So two months later I bought it. I purchased a Prizm LSI new back in 1990 when they first came out. It had every option available including the sunroof. I owned for 16 years ( one of the best cars I have ever had ) but I always wanted a GSI, but extremely hard to get. Finally the dealership got in a red one in 1991 and I loved it. It had every option, but stickered at 15,000 to rich for me at the time. I have always kept my eye out for a used one. Aanyway it took me 20 years to finally get one. The car had low miles and mechanically had been well taken care of. Not being driven much in 20 years some things had to be worked on. Since I bough it this is what I have done. ( by the way I wanted to leave the car all stock and I have )
New rotors, brakes, calipers, flex lines all four corners
New dizzy old one seeping at O ring typical
Plugs, wires, cap, rotor
Front exhaust pipe had a hole in it replaced with stock
Rear muffler had just been replaced with a stock double outlet when I got it but no extensions or tips had to do that
Removed center caps on stock alloys and prepped the rims and painted black with a clearcoat and chrome lugs ( hard to find those special flat shank short lugs to fit )
Interior perfect never smoked in
Never wrecked ( thank God! )
sunroof of course rusted I removed it and sanded and prepped it anti rust primered it and coated all the metal lip with liquid bubber and had a guy here in town vinyl skin it in black cleaned and reinstalled the weather strip ( it turned out really good ) the black against the red makes it look like glass
Of course the stock radio had to go
Did not want to mess with removing the stock speakers so bought a 6 X 9 speaker enclosure that held 4 6 X 9's and was grey carpeted and put in the trunk. When I want to use it I just lower the back seats. The car sounds so good through the exhaust that I rarely turn on the stereo
The tires were already on the car and are directional dont remember what they are but are nice and fairly new so did not have to change them out.
The AC works perfect.
The car is extremely clean underneath still has factory paint hash marks on the suspension parts.
Oh, it is a 5 speed
I have had many people ask me about the car not knowing what it is. It is extremely fast even with the air on.
Do not know how long I will keep it, but if I do decide to sell it I will post it here first.
