Welcome to the DSM community

 

[jiggaman]

thanx man im hoping it treats me well...i heard eclipses can give people a lot of probs...i dunno if its true or not..my friend had one that was beating porche 911's the only prob he had is he kept cracking some lines cause of to much boost and power!!

 

[red91tsiawd]

no, dsm's have problems just like all other cars, the more u mod, the more it costs to repair and the more repairs u make. hp= money

 

[KRAZYKOREAN]

yeah 210 stock flywheel power. wooooooo

 

[jiggaman]

nice nice...better than my 130 hp sattie...thanx for the help guys...once i get the car ill def be looking towards these forums for advice..thanx

 

[Megaman]

let us know how it turns out...good luck dude

 

[GSX2HOT4U]

dude get a gsx, if your want to race it at the track get the awd, does wonders.. i love it!

 

[jiggaman]

i thought about it but im not much into track racing..plus why not tear some sh*t up with the convertible ...i dont know if it had any effect or not...see what happens..

 

[herostar]

good luck w/ finding a nice dsm, if it's your daily driver in NY, you might want AWD for the snow too... I love my gsx for tons of reasons, not just because it's quick off the line

 

[Phoenix_RsX]

yeah the are 210 hp and maybe 170 to the wheels give or take a few. and with little money, it can break 13s in the quarter. no matter what your plans are, good luck.

Welcome! Once you go turbo . . .

I love my Spyder (when my cf hood doesn't fly up and crack my windshield like it did today!). That being said CURSE MITSU FOR NOT MAKING IT RWD OR AWD!!. That would have ruled but there are ways to get around that. Anyway, you will have plenty of admirers.

PEACE!

 

[jiggaman]

thanx for the support guys....but i am having trouble finding one there all nonturbo that i can find...so i tihnk i might go with a gsx instead...still an awesome car...what ya think?

 

[DSMJim]

do whatever you want but just buy a turbo car, don't buy a non turbo. you think making your saturn go fast is hard? just as hard with the non-turbo dsm's except you have a neon motor in the 95+ where a few companies make parts for it but going fast in those is not cheap either.

 

[Bohrn]

No, don't do whatever you want, get a turbo all wheel drive

j/k, get what you like, but be warned that the AWD cars are really nice to have. In the rain, there is no viper or corvette that can stay with ya It is a really cool feeling...

Guy I know with a Z-06 that knows I own him in the rain

fun cars, and there are lots of fwd cars out there. Its the awd that sets us apart from all the Hondas, Toyotas and VW's
