Dumbest things you've heard a DSMer say? :)

[silvah_gsx]

I remember that...at Big's Pizza, right?

friend in autoshop: "my friend just got a V8 mustang GT with a high-octane engine."

 

[shiftdrift06]

Kid with a GVR4: "Is that thing turbo?" (while starring at my front mount)

2G N/T driver: "Is that a turbo?" (again, while looking right at the front mount)

1G N/T driver: "That's one of the turbo ones right?" (you guessed it, ditto)

1G TSi driver: "You should get 1000cc's, that way you'll never run out of fuel." (oh should I?)

1G N/T driver w/minor bolt ons: "I could take you on the higway." (oh could you?)

And my all time favorite...

j/p, it was right there, I had to.

Just because you have a front mount, does not necessary mean your turboed!

I just got a dumb one tonight! some kid insisted to see my engine so I showed him. Hes like, "so you run turbo oil with that 20g right?" I was at a loss, than he also stated in his gst he is working on puting a air tank in his trunk to blow air through his exhaust mani to spool his turbo at 1000 rpm. I was like sweet dude make me a kit whin your done.

Hal is right. Someone told me the same thing. I wonder who that was about the AEM fuel rail.

[THE REAL DEAL]

my friend Danny after my friend Mark and I installed his S-AFC:

"This thing is bad, ###. It's better than a cd player."

Pissed me off because he didn't even know how to use it, got it for $150 even, and I have yet to find one that cheap. He overheated the motor about a month later and traded the car for a 4 wheeler.

 

[MyBeatGSX]

A few of my more recent ones from non DSMers (copied and pasted from a post on a local board):

Noteable ones from southington autozone:

"Is that your blow off valve." pointing at the aeromotive fpr that's bolted to the end of the fuel rail on the opposite side of the engine bay from the charge piping


"Is that thing turbo." while starring at the huge front mount
"Yes."
"Oh I thought so. I heard it when you pulled in."


"Is that your blow off valve." looking at the catch can I had in my hand


"How do you like the satalite radio." refering to the APEXi SAFC


Good ones from other places:

4 kids in a 3G Eclipse Spyer, "What do you have done to that thing?" While flying down the highway at 80mph. Did they really expect me to scream a mod list out the window?


Kid at school, "Is that thing turbo?"
"Yes"
"Is it twin or single."
"Single"
"Oh (in disappointed voice), my friend has one but its twin turbo."
"Nice."

That one has come up a few times. Who/what is making all these people think there's such thing as a twin turbo DSM?


Random guy:
"Is that thing FWD or RWD?"
"Actually its AWD."
*puzzled look and scilence*
"Its FOUR WHEEL DRIVE."
"Oh..... isn't that for trucks?'

Yeah, I get that alot too. Depending who they are and what they are driving, I either reply with "STOCK" or "HUGE TURBO".

 

[alex99gst]

I got asked in a parking lot to pop the hood and went ahead and talked with the guy for a while. He said "hey are you running the stock 14b or a 16g?" I go ahead and assume he knows his stuff He then proceeds to ask me why I have 2 radiators and when I explained that it was a FMIC he was amazed.

Like many others I've had kids at school say "what bov are you running?" When I tell them its stock they laugh and say "dude cars dont come stock with bov's." Right on buddy

 

[RWKustoms]

Oh and I like the good ol' "Boost Fluid" HAHAH http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5556&highlight=boost+fluid

That thread has to be by far the best thread ever. I just laughed for 10 mins non-stop reading that thread.

 

[twack]

So at this local meet this guy is showing me his talon and telling me he has a bully built motor from slowboy and all this stuff then he stops when the other kid with me walked away and says what does DMS stand for!! i was like wow how did you get to a dsm meet! then we lose him on a cruise and he show up later saying he blew an intercooler pipe and he fixed it with air mattress patch and duct tape! wow! then he goes "ya i know the car pretty well, its my third evo" what a piece of work. I wish my 1g were an evo to

Let me guess, all of this took place on the pike....

The worst thing i've heard, it was a DSMer, but it was a car person, the kid was into cavaliers....anywho me and a few DSMers were just BSing with this guy who had just picked up an Evo, when the cavalier kid walks up, stares at the engine bay a little, points to the FMIC, then asks "Why 2 radiators?"

I just kind of looked at him like this:

LMFAO!!! I didn't even see that before. That's just too much, I almost pissed my pants...

"the guy said it just needed some more boost fluid"

Its too much I can't take it..... Seriously though, that's terrible, the poor kid.

 

[Denji]

(Guy with a red 2g gs-t in a parking lot)

guy- "I am going to drop the 420a from the non turbo eclipse in my car"
me - "what? why?"
guy- "they are better built motors for turbo"
me- "let me get this straight, better than the 4g63 in your car?"
guy- "yeah"

-This is by far the dumbest thing that was ever said to me by a dsm owner. He was TOTALLY serious.

 

[Blitzeclips]

Guy in red mustang at local meet-up: Hey whats up with that GS-T? Is it turboed?
Me: It's not a GS-T. It's a NON-turbo WITH a turbo.
Stanger guy: No, they don't make non-turbo cars with an option of turbo from the factory..
Me: Well, no, I pieced together a kit and turboed it myself..
Stanger guy interupts: You know, you should swap a GS-T motor in that..
Me: It's nearly impossible. Too much money, time, and work..
Stanger guy: Yeah but even then you couldn't outrun me. You have a 1.8L non turbo..
Me: Yeah I gotta run, later man..

I HATE when people think I have a GS-T. HATE IT. I need a "GS" decal for my hatch... Betcha it would confuse the hell outta some people..

Don't use a decal or make your own up: your car is custom and it should show.

1.8 He didn't even get that right either.

What kind of Mustang was it? A GT is good for breakfast and dessert.

 

[4g63t]

"How do you like the satalite radio." refering to the APEXi SAFC

wow that one is way to funny

 

[Blitzeclips]

Yeah it was a GT. I was about to include how I had the stroker motor too, but it didn't seem worth the time or energy to converse anymore with the guy.

You know how those mustang guy can be..

 

[Mitsu RacerX]

I was outside my house detailing my motor when a truck drives up and a young kid jumps out and says he has a car like mine. He then goes on to tell me that he is one of the fastest DSM 1G in the town. I say really,he goes on to tell me that he has a N/A 1.8 and that the 4G is st8 trash. The 1.8 is the motor that the EVO was made for. I just looked at him .....Needles to say I saw him 2 days later getting walked by a stock cavalier.....

 

[endlessMyk]

I'd have to say the dumbest thing I've ever heard was; "You should sign up on DSMTalk"


But seriously, had a guy that worked with me tell me back in Idaho he had a 92 EEEclipse (I hate when people over-emphasize the "E"). I asked what model, he said it was a twin turbo. I laughed and walked away. Walked back over, "I have to ask... what turbossss were you using?"

"Just the stock ones."
"Dude, there is no stock twin turbo EEEclipse."
"Well... then I'm not sure, I barely looked under the hood, it was my sisters car."

I spent the rest of my days trying toget him to race this other kid with a "mad tyte Accord" for "Pinks". It kept me entertained.

 

[MyBeatGSX]

is with these people and twin turbo Eclipses??? What gave them that idea? I get that at least once a week. Maybe when Brian Earl Spliner said "T3/T4" on TF&TF they assuming it was 2 separate turbos?
