Hey,

Looking to get into a new car since the insurance company is telling me I'm losing the rental very soon.

Spotted this one for sale, and actually went and looked at it this weekend.

It is very clean as the seller describes. I usually am not interested in someone else's project, but I just can't seem to find anything I like in my price range right now (4-8k or so).

What are your thoughts? Any all trac owners with any thoughts? Help!

I'm not an All-trac owner, but I am a GEN2 3SGTE/ 5th gen GT-S owner. GET HER! That car is beautiful! I will tell you though from personal experience, if you plan on upgrading anything else and running more boost, save yourself the agony now and do the shimless bucket conversion. A friend of mine with a 1992 All-Trac has had to pull his engine twice due to spitting out shims....and by "he has had to pull his engine twice" I actually meant "he's completely automotively incompetent and I pulled it twice". His mods are Greddy 20G converted to external wasgtegate, RMR intake manifold, E-manage blue box @ 20psi. He's finally listened to me and went shimless! (which is a good thing because I now live 14 hours from him)
