Fun with a DSM

I am headed to Wal-Mart to go pick up the new Sean Paul CD going across the main drag through our town. I take a turn and see an Eclipse (about a 95) sitting at an intersection at the red light when I'm making my turn. So I drive on and I see his blue headlights making his way toward me. He then goes flying past me and I then I really didn't think much of it other than he's just flying through traffic like a tool. Once we get on the out skirts of town towards where I was heading we finally hit a light with him right next to me (Just showing that flying through traffic only means being a tool and not getting where your going any faster). So he revs to me and I simpily nod my head ( we are now in a 60 mph zone on the double lane highway). The light goes and he jumps a few feet ahead of me for just a second and then I continued to pull multiple car lengths on him (mabye 5 or 6) by the time we hit 80 and I shut down. Now I don't want to say he gave me the ricer fly-by but after I shut down he did continue his speed no longer accelerating and passes me. And as usual (it seems like) I had to turn around because I went passed my turn off to get to Wal-Mart.

Dude, wtf is that fly by all about, I constantly get that when i romp someone and shut down. BTW nice kill :) Like this one 95 civic, with an exhaust and stuff..after I pulled on him by like 15 cars he still flew past buzzin' @ like 100?

idk whats up with the ricer flyby...btw what sean paul cd are you getting? the one that has "we be burnin' " and "temperature"??? if so since when do u understand patois?

Trinity...yes it has temperature and we be burnin.

hey mang, nice race! :thumbsup: damn......

nice...

civics can get to 100?! wtf!?!?!

I liked everything about your story except for the Sean Juan CD part.....

But whatever ma jigga you reppresentin right on so its all good mang.
Me and the wife would get into little battles here and there at red lights we caught, we usually managed to end up side by side so we would run the GS against the 3K. ahhh good times.

Nice kill. It was probably a gs/esi right? Do you know if it was an auto or manual? Anyways nice kill and way to represent the auto 3/s's:thumbsup:

Just out of curiosity, was it a DSM or just the RS or GS Eclipse? I assume you own an SL 3K? I'd think an actual DSM with some work would put up a pretty good battle with ya. Otherwise, an RS or GS wouldn't be too much of a competition. Good kill.

I can't wait to race my old man's 3K. Not to hijack, but I took him for a ride a week back, and asked if he would like to give it a "go" for fun. He doesn't seem to "interested" nowadays...:evillol:

Judging by the distance you put on him, I'd guess it was an RS or GS as well. But still nice kill.

No way was it a turbo, let alone an AWD. Most mildly modded DSM's would romp you, no offense.

All eclipse's are DSMs (91-99).

I'm sure it was a GS or RS but I couldn't tell you which one since it was partially debadged. And as VtecCivic said, all 91-99 Eclipses Talons and Lasers are DSM's regardless of being an GS-t, GSX, TSi, GS, etc.

Not around here they wouldn't because the vast majority of DSM's around my area ar RS's and GS's. And with minor mods (I assume you mean like exhaust, intake, ect.) I just don't see that as being enough.

Edit: An yes my car is a SL (DOHC) 3kgt.

I am headed to Wal-Mart to go pick up the new Sean Paul CD


That's when I stopped reading this post:shakehead

What's wrong with it? Great party mix. I'm not a huge hip-hop fan as I listen to heavy metal, older rap, and almost anything else thats decient to listen to. Anyway, thats not what this thread is about so back to biz.

What I was saying was that any mildly modded TURBO DSM would have eaten you for lunch, that's all.

yeah sure if you wanna look at it that way but then after having him for lunch the DSM would go home and then the phone would ring and the DSM would pick up the phone and be like "who this is? " and the other guy would be like "yo is me dawg, the 3KGT you had for lunch, you wanna gimmie a re-match for dinner?" and the DSM would be all like M-Kay.

so then at dinner time the DSM and the 3KGT would line up and off the line the DSM would blow something and break down and the 3KGT would have it for dinner cause you know its a DSM and all so they always break the second time round.
ha and the 3KGT would ride off into the sunset saying "I was built in Nagoya beotch!" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


now where did I put my beer?

You're silly.


I'm hungry Musashi... Want to race me for breakfast?

What I was saying was that any mildly modded TURBO DSM would have eaten you for lunch, that's all.

And any mildly VR4 would then come and eat that DSM as a midnight snack.

But Musashi's post was a lot funnier so I'll leave now.




Now where did I put me Cherry Coke?

And any midly VR4 would then come and eat that DSM as a midnight snack.


Exactly. If your comparing the top model of the DSM then compare it with the top model VR4. Which as said, would eat a DSM alive. :evillol:

And thats pretty damn funny Musashi.

Musashi, I couldn't help but laugh, mainly because there's so much truth in what you said. I've had my share of problems with my DSM, the biggest being goddamn crankwalk in my 7-bolt motor. And yes, depending on the level of mods on the VR4 it could go either way. Remember, it doesn't take a ton of money to get a DSM up to mid-high 300'swhp.

You're silly.

Why dont I just buy you breakfast and keep my pride in one piece? :icon16:

that's cute, stickin' up for the new car ;)

i think an actual dsm in general (stock) would have raped you, but good kill!! you never know though, it may have been a slushbox turbo one, those are fairly weak as well!

Deal.

Denny's here we come!!!

I dunno man, I love my 3000GTs but I gotta tell ya, 3 thousand dollars goes a long way in a first gen DSM! Ive owned three first gens and now my wife's second gen. I like DSM cars but man are they a pain to keep on the road.
still my old Talon TSI ran 11s before it blew.
yeah Ive lost loved ones to crankwalk too. :frown:

I gotta say though, if I had the money, I'd LOVE to get a GTO. Yours in that blue is just flat out sexy. Or perhaps a T/A WS.6. Just because I drive a DSM, doesn't mean I don't respect muscle.

as long as its fast and the ladies break neck when you drive by its all good man. :cheers:

From what I've heard recently about DSM's is making me think a little. They are always thought of as "cheap speed" but now I'm thinking mabye not seeing as how they are always braking down.

Musashi, I would honestly be curious to know if you get as many head turns when driving the GTO as you did the 3kgt.

You only hear about the DSM's online that break. People don't post about how well theirs is holding up.

The thing is that the people that are typically members of online automotive forums are usually performance-minded, which means they are going to abuse their car more than the everyday owner who just drives it normally. Obviously if you hit the track everyweekend and drive it like you stole it everyday on the street, it is going to give you problems.

Thanks 98stang, for articulating that a bit better than I could. Honestly, the only major mechanical problems I've had with my Talon were a bad slave cylinder, and the fucking crank took a hike on me.

Yeah, DSM's get a bad rap. I have had no problems with mine, and I am gonna miss it when I get rid of it.

my bro's tranny is going out on his... not completely stock tho, do they have the same tranny on the trubos as the non turbos?

Depends on the generation. The 2G N/T's had the 420A neon engine in them.

My neighbors 1st gen talon is falling apart...both tranny and motor.

that wasnt the question, im well aware of the engine, especially since i installeda turbo on it. but yes its a 2g

Then no, the trans is different.

Musashi, I would honestly be curious to know if you get as many head turns when driving the GTO as you did the 3kgt.

well no i dont but i have noticed one thing. With the 3KGT I had more attention from the girls :naughty:.
Usually drive by the mall or a shopping plaza and girls would give second glance and stuff or I'd pull up to a light and catch them checking out the car. The 3000GT just has that supercar look, low profile, wide stance, functional side vents ect..

with the GTO I get attention from guys. Now dont laugh you bastards!
Its just they are more automotive oriented so they know whats uder the skins BUT, its not the same kind of attention.

with the GTO I get attention from guys.


I now understand why you bought the GTO:smooch:

with the GTO I get attention from guys.

That is so sigged....:evillol:

with the GTO I get attention from guys.

the truth finally comes out... :disappoin

*in a cartman voice*

AHHH GOD DAMN IT! You go to hell! you go to hell and die!:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

That is so sigged....:evillol:


Damn you! You beat me to it. Yeah, that's definately sig worthy. :rofl:

Ahhhh, this is all your fault golddielocks! :angryfire

I knew the hot wife was just a cover-up!!! I knew it!

Mushashi3000GT is officially :gay:

Ahhhh, this is all your fault golddielocks! :angryfire

:thefinger

:bananasmi :boink: :bananasmi :boink:

:lol:

note to self: never buy a GTO

note to self: never buy a GTO

That is unless you crave attention from your fellow male tuners...like Musashi :biggrin:.

Civ! when the hell did you become a Mod?
.......was that part of the deal with Josh or something? buy the car, become a mod?

you do remember I predictind this almost two years ago right? I said that I had been sent from the future to stop the evil CivRacer from becoming the most powerfull modderator on AF :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

holy crap! i didnt notice that you were a mod. what sections do you mod?

Someone has a personal stalker huh?

:lol: I just mod the SR section. That's all. So this is my turf...well Red's turf, and Poly's turf....THEN IT'S MINE!!!

You know, I never even thought that buying Joshy's car would lead me to becoming a mod...it kinda makes sense. You're right Mushi, I looked back to and you most certainly did predict me becoming a mod :rofl:. Too bad you can't predict yourself to be a mod, eh? :evillol:.
