Default buying a dsm

just like the title says, my best friends brother has a performance tuning/install business specializing in dsm and mitsu. and he hooked me up with a buddy of his who is selling his 1g. the car has ran a 13.2 and has had work done to it since. i drive a civic lx coupe now and its definately a huuuuge difference in speed. i think it will be a lot of fun and i hope i dont regret it. thankfully though, i will not be getting rid of the civic. the dsm is only 3300 and i can pay that cash. so the honda will be a dd and the dsm weekend warrior.

Diamond Series Motors

basically the 1g & 2g Mitsubishi Eclipses, along with the Plymouth Laser and Eagle Talon.


i was recently gonna buy one that was heavily modded but then i realized i could put that money into a new honda instead of paying to fix crankwalk on an older (now) car in the future

good luck w/ the DSM

I had two eclipses before I really got into Hondas...... they can be made fast really easily....

I was running 13.1-13.2 on both my fwd gst and awd gsx......stock t25 turbo

you will not have to worry about crank walk until you are making really big power......

Thanks for sharing.......So what's your point or purpose of this thread? Are you looking for kudos or a pat on the back? If you are looking for a cookie its Rico's turn to hand them out.

I stand corrected......

but, you can be rest assured that if you attend any DSM club meetings you would not get thrown out for using either term..."Motors" or "Motorsports" with the latter being thrown around more often than not......

to the DSM police....

to the op.....have fun with her
