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

[blue98gst]

I get a kick out of talking to people who have no clue about the stats on their own car; horsepower, weight stuff like that. I was talking to some dude who had a 1994ish BMW 525i and he was asking me about my car and stuff, but I asked him how much hp he had and he said 300, and I was like damn that thing must have balls, V8? No its a straight six. I know those things had closer to 200 brake hp, but I didn't dispute. So I asked how much it weighed, he said 2,100 lbs. At this point I was really laughing inside. So we keep talking and eventually we debate racing for dinner. never happened though.

 

[Red97Eclipseboy]

Crazy how people can actually talk mature to each other right? On a side note, your car is sexy.

Amzing, isn't it?! LoL! And thank you for liking my car.

Just happened to me today...

I'm at work and this kid comes up in his 240sx with its loud as HELL exhaust and ask him whats in it and he says stock. So I'm like ok what are your plans and he mentions the all classic SR20DET swap. So I tell him when hes done with the swap he should come race me at the track. He asks what car I have. I tell him a 91 GSX and go on with the mod list.

Literally the first thing he says is Wow DSM huh. You know those cars are a piece of shit and you'll blow all your pistons if you run above 8 psi. I just looked at him like WTF and said the STOCK 2g's run 12 psi from the factory and I think the factory knows what they are doing WTF so he just smirked and said yeah w/e...

Seriously pissed me off then as hes walking away he just had to turn and say enjoy your crankwalk... left me in a super pissy mood after that.

Yeah, dude. I hear you on that one. The funny thing is about them, 99% of the time, their cars are garbage. Half-ass swap, or no swap, the body is beat-to-shit and overall, it looks and sounds like ass. The S-chassis guys with nice ones tend to be very cool. Go figure.

But don't let some hater like that get you down. When someone 'talks' about what they're 'going' to do, I never listen or care. We're all 'going to do' something. Ya know? It's in one ear and out the other.

 

[PIMking]

I had a guy in a cavalier tell me at a stop light that my car needs new plugs because it sounds like crap.

I looked at him and said right Have you heard of cams? "yeah that has two of them" I left the light then at the next light he says you have an exhaust leak I can hear it when you step on the gas..

oh well. Nothing like leaving the parking lot after the hockey game whiles hes watching my POS that he says when its wet sideways at 18psi and his jaw on the ground

I know what you mean about hating the attention sometimes. In my case, because my car is kit'd and fairly clean looking, if I'm with a group of DSM's and some ass hat rolls up looking for a race, I'm usually the first person they go to. I hate when they sit there nagging and begging you to race them.

...and my car isn't even close to being quick, I'm sure by anyones account on this site.

How do you think I feel...

Do you work at the Mayo Clinic?

 

[badas93tsi]

Not all DSM'ers, but heres an argument on streetfire about my car: Start from the bottom.........

yeah, true. the tsi awd has like 195 horsepower, where the regular fwd tsi produced only 190 because of the restricted exhaust. the automatics had like 180 because of a smaller turbo and injectors but yeah this isnt learning class.

Nice run, badas93tsi. I live right near mason dixon drag strip,so I was surprised to see anyone post a video of a run from it because the track is so crappy, .


Andrew's right, you're very wrong. There's a big difference between a TSi and a TSi AWD.


The tsi talon the crx of the AWD light and AWD what mor could you wont


no dude, it says TSI, those are AWD


FWD, too?

My car runs 10's

(This was in the line waiting to get into the drag strip). Funny how 10s were really 17s....

[DanaT]

Other good one (although I can swear it was DSMer, but it was on import drag day)

"Thats not an import"

Its funny because my GSX clearly says "made in USA" while my other car is made overseas (just not japan). They were reffering to the other car; not the DSM. Imprt Drag races really mean "japanese brand car drag races" to most people.

So I go into Autozone... Always a good experience... Anyways I ask the cool guy behind the counter
for fully synthetic transmission fluid. He looks @ me (With eyebrow raised)WTF and says there is no such
thing as fully Synthetic TF. Ummm ok. Well still need some. 2nd time assures me that there is no such thing and then asks me if i mean engine oil. So i look right past him and walk to the back of the store
and take some off the shelf, bring it to the front of the store and show him... He still looks at me like
i am a retard.. Anyway its really hard to find good help... And it really sucks to know more about cars
than the parts people..

Ahh lofty, at least you have a dsm in high school. My younger brother has a '91 Laser RS fwd turbo, and though it looks like a pile of crap, it's still the fastest thing in the parking lot, (filled with v6 camaros, grand prix gt's and the like) but gets no credit for it.

A couple of kids from his class happened to be driving by us and pulled up like they wanted to race, so my brother gave them a short pull up the hill he was going up. At the street where we live, (on our way home) they pulled up to him, so he stops, and the first thing they ask is if his car is a diesel, cause when he floored it, black smoke came out the exhaust.........

We didn't say anything to their faces, but when we got home, we joked around about it for quite awhile. It's really amazing just how entertaining ignorance is.

 

[GsxEcutioner]

Hahaha! We're few and far between...and usually snatched up pretty quick.

darn it, I thought atleast Walmart would stock shelves of your kind ; ] jk jk

 

[motox-010]

Not just DSMers. But anyone who just lists their mods in "Stages."

 

[dsmfa9nutter]

I was told by our resident idiot at work that he was going to build a turbo (from scratch). This was 5 minutes after he asked how a turbo works. I had to draw a picture for him to understand.

Ha that is what happens when you are bored.

 

[Evo_This]

I got one for you, not so much as a dumb thing said quite as much as dumb things done. Let me first say I've ALWAYS wanted an 99 Eclipse Spyder, thats my (down to earth) dream car. Which is why this hurt something serious....

I went to AutoZone looking for replacement bulbs, when I pulled in I noticed a black Spyder with the top down parked there. Really couldn't miss him ### instead of parking in a space, he was parked basically in the driveway. As I get out I do quick look over of the ride: blacked out aftermarket tails but the protective glass is missing and the outer edges of them are trimmed in chrome, bodykit but the back up lights are missing from the bumper, the driver side skirt seemed off somehow, the front bumper was the Invader one but there was sum dull yellow...stuff around the edges, blacked out halos, a home made double bump in the hood with vents, heavy looking chrome rims, oh and I almost forgot...a Saleen Mustang spoiler BUT he took the top bar and the end caps off...yet again with the yellow stuff all over it.
Ok, I make in the store grab what I need and as I'm standing in line I hear behind me.."Man thats a nice car."
So I turn around and he's looking at my car, he then asks if its mine, I say yes and thank you. I put the 2 n 2 together and ask, "The Spyder yours?"
"Yeah it's mine, been getting it tight."
"Yeah? It's nice man I always wanted a Spyder, so what you have planned for it?"
"Hell I'll show you."
We go out in he pops the hood it's a 420A with a dual air intake with different cone sizes, a rusty header, dusty engine bay, and I could see a torn CV Joint. He's like, "Yeah this baby will move no disrespect but it's faster than your Lancer."
"Hmm..." Odd he'd say this considering we never even looked at my car yet.
"Going turbo in a few months too, should be putting 400hp to the wheels."
"Really? So your doing a swap then?"
"Swap? Nah gonna turbo this motor, the Spyder motor is the biggest in the Eclipse lineup." He says as he pulls out some bulbs he just got. He begins trying to change the bulbs but is having a really hard time. So..."Looks like a tight fit man, why don't you just take the headlight out?"
"I can't..."

"The headlights are molded into the bumper."
"Wait, what? Why did you do that?"
"Well two reasons...one this is a 96 Eclipse and when I ordered the kit, they sent a 99 kit so the kit didnt fit right."
"So thats why you dont have back up lights, cause you had the ones around the LP and the 99's have the little round ones."
"Right, so I molded the kit to the car but still had fitment issues. Two I wanted a seamless look so I molded in all the pieces. I had some run off that's that yellow stuff around the edges."
Remember that off looking skirt, now you know why.
So after watching him stick a wire in the headlight for 20mins he finally gets it changed out. "So man wanna run?"
"You serious? You don't even know what I got."
"Doesn't matter bro, I'll tap you reguardless."
Now my street racing days are over but at the time I was more up to do it plus he pissed me off.
What he didn't know was my car has a sri, complete exhaust, piggy back ecu, shifter kit, and under drive pulleys at the time. So we line them up and he's revving like crazy, he jumps the light and takes off but it only take a few moments before I'm in his ass. I ride his bumper close before overtaking him and putting two cars between us before breaking down. When he catches up.."HEY! You either got an Evo engine in there or nos! You cheated! I wanna know what you running!"
"Firstly, I offered you the chance to find out what I had and believe your words were it wouldnt matter. Second, did you hear a bov or see an intercooler? If not, no Evo motor as they are turbo'd. Third, if I had Nos, again, you would've heard it as I passed you and it's not like I'd need it to beat you."
"Whatever cheating ass #####!" Oh yeah he's a white guy.
"Best you got huh, well next time keep your mouth shut til the end of the race!"

 

[Red97Eclipseboy]

Lol! You don't hear "NOS". Nor are there 420A motors in Spyders. Goofy story, nonetheless.

 

[Unwythe]

The only way you could "hear" NOS, is if someone was wide open throttle, and the rpms just jumped to redline. Even then, you could mistake that for them just gunning the throttle. The 420A line made me .


That story made me too. Btw, the motor he had in his car was a 2.4, and when turboed they are nasty. So, he was right about the whole engine thing.

Oops! I didn't catch that, sorry about the 420a mixup I meant 4G64. True he was right about the turbo but if you would have seen how unsure he looked you'd know what I meant.

Oh I know already, trust me. Ricers are usually "meet one, meet them all" but I was just making sure you knew the whole bit about the 4G64. I would so love to get ahold of one, you can just feel like the torque they have, and I can only imagine having that torque...plus the pull of the turbo. I really need to find a G4CS block.

Hey I know, I'd trade my Talon for a 99 GST Spyder anyday. Hell might give up the Lancer for one, I even found this beautiful 625hp white one here in Houston for $7000 but by the time I got the money together...the owner parted it out . There was nothing left of it when I saw it again and it would cost me more in parts to restore it than to find another, which I still haven't. I think because I compare every one I see to the one got away....
