Many people build "awesome DSMs", and I'd look further into the "engineered, Taiwan, crankwalk" BS.
Ignorance is no excuse to further sully the reputation we have as a community. People like YOU are the reason we get a bad rep. "Plain and simple".
I do not wish to give anyone a bad rep, and I am not ruining the reputation we have as a community. I want to put the DSM community on the map, get us coverage. That is why I talked to Luke Munnell-Senior tech editor at Import Tuner, to get Gixxerdrew's ride into the magazine, and I have the emails to prove it. I am not trying to start a civil war here, I thought this thread would not be flamed and we can all respond like adults, and understand the situation of a fellow DSMer by relating to him and getting him not to leave the community,instead of a new member getting flamed by a moderator when he just wanted an opinion.
No one builds awesome dsm's? Do a quick google search for brett rau, or john shepard. The worlds fastest 4 cylinder is a dsm. Or are you expecting a "pimp my ride" build. As for these cars being cheap, they were built right here in the usa, with that cheap uaw labor.
Why don't you sell your dsm, buy a honda, put $5,000 into it, and maybe run 13's.
Lol, one thing I will not do is down grade to a honda civic with altezza lights, that sounds like a weed wacker. I do not like pimp my ride,I was just venting a little bit because my car can be frustrating at times, I am not trying to insult the community. There are some amazing projects going on in the DSM world like the compound turbo setup by 99GSTRacer. My point is that I believe our cars deserve alot more attention. I look in magazines and see Honda HATCHBACKS naturally aspirated, with some chrome in the engine, a wire tuck, and BRIDE seats-that annoys me. How about a clean 2G GSX with an fp3065 that runs tens on pump gas? Who really gets hard over a Honda Civic hatch-with BRIDE seats? I do not get it. I want to see DSM's get the recognition they deserve.
