[GP99GT]

A kid in my town is selling a 91 mazda MX-6 turbo...anyone know if these things are pieces of **** or not? i drove it, its about as fast as my GP but it seems like it leaks boost - the rubber boost pipes are probably leaking. he wants $1200 OBO for it, it needs brakes, has new tires, boost gauge, blow off valve, manual boost controller, new fog lights, valve cover gasket. i work at an auto parts store and im competent enough to do the brakes myself, so thats like $150 at the most. If i buy this, i wont be able to do the motor swap in my GP, and id just replace the transmission instead and keep it as a DD, and have the MX6 as my project car.

so what im asking is, is a turbo MX6 a piece of ****, hows the aftermarket, are parts expensive/hard to find? and should i do this instead of working on the GP?

i probably shouldnt have even posted this here, cause ill probably get some meatheads saying "omg its not american rwd v8 it sucks!" but oh well.
