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

[CrackedDSM]

"I will swap an SRT4 into my DSM"

On this note


"I'm swapping a big block into my DSM with less than $5k".

 

[talon2gbuyer]

Why is that a dumb thing? Lol a big block is more reliable then our clown car 4g63s

 

[LandoAWD]

1. Not 5k.
2. The same asshats that can't keep a running DSM are surely incapable of the work, or the post-job maintenance on ANY engine.

Edit*
Hoping he's joking around since this is dumbest things DSMers say thread...

"I will swap an SRT4 into my DSM"

There is actually a thread on here where someone has, his fan work was pretty awesome for a garage build. But he was swapping into an NT shell.

Someone asked me at work the other night:

"So if you have 16 valves how many per cylinder are there?"

Me: "Well there are 3 valves per cylinder and then 4 valves that just kinda hang out and shoot the bird....."

guy at work: ".....are those valves for the turbo?"

Me: "Its an RS non turbo.... so yes they are for the turbo..."

Guy at work: "Oh, that cool!"

....seriously....


I guess I should had he owns a 2004 Eclipse GS, and its completely stock, but he was asking me what kind of mods you can put on them.

What does he care about valves anyway? IIRC, he's only got two valves per cylinder.

I couldnt even begin to tell you. He started bragging about how he rebuilt a Mustang 5.0 in highschool... then he started the above convo... so I have little faith in that mustang

 

[CrackedDSM]

If he's used to only V8's, I wouldn't be surprised. Some of the older guys who have never touched a 4 cylinder turbo in their life, much less a modern-ish one don't know much at all. I know some shops in Pensacola that build seriously fast carb'd V8's, but can't do shit or don't know shit ABOUT 4 cylinder turbos. So I wouldn't really judge him on that. It sounds like he was trying to ask you an honest question and you were being a total dick to him? Or did he mean it in a condescending way? In the mustang world, valves matter. 2V 4.6 won't be as potent as a 4V 4.6 would be, and etc. So I could see how him thinking there was a difference.

 

[crash89]

Well considering the above conversation was about a 4 cylinder and he knows there are 16 valves.. I assume he just cant do math. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

the kid is 22 and is one of those kids that knows everything about everything... so no I wasnt being a dick just to be one... its because I know hes blowing smoke out of his ass... like crash said... 4 cylinders, 16 valves.... its simple math... and even in a v8... valves dont run a turbo as far as I know... so the questions were a kinda "dafuq is this kid smokin" thing....

Wastegate valve

Well, there are two valves/cylinder that do run the turbo...

Gotcha. I know those types of people for sure. Best thing to do is just agree and let them go.

technically you're right...that's pretty awesome.

 

[ForsakenLash]

... technicalities.

once at a car meet, my friend rolled up in a brand new evo.
and I don't really know about them. but my other friend does. and a kid was like how many miles? and the evo friend replies 300 miles and the other kid says take it easy! it's barely breaking in.
my friend(non evo owner) told me that they're broken In from factory, so I thought it was funny how the kid was completely serious repeating himself "you're pushing it too hard! it's breaking in" .

Ive had two in the last few hours at work. I work security at an airport and I deal mainly with vehicle traffic. So this guy pulls up in a really nice Evo. I walk up and ask:
Me: "Hey man what type of evo is that?"
Guy: "I think its a 7"
Me:" Man thay thing is clean!"
Guy: "Thankd man, you like evos?"
Me: "Im a DSM fan in general, I have a 97 Eclipse RS."
Guy: "Cool...... Whats a DSM?"


I literally face palmed .

Second guy pulls up in a 2g Spyder convertable.

Me: "Nice 2g ya got there sir."
Guy: "Uh thanks man, but its a 99"
Me: "Thats cool, (at this point im just gonna screw with him) so do those have the 420a's in em?"
Guy: "Uh... Dude its a Spyder not a 420 whatever"
Me: "......... Have a good day sir...."

[combs-dsm]

ive had a couple funny moments so far. die hard Honda owner with a turboed vtec asked me- so you have an eclipse?
me- well yea its a talon but same thing.
him- it says TSI AWD on the back whats that mean?
me- well means its turboed and all wheel drive
him- o that's cool. so what does a turbo do?
me- Do what?
me- a turbo forces mass amounts of air into an engine
him- o so does that give you more hp?
me- does your Honda have a turbo?
him- ummmmmm idk what they look like?

after this conversation i wanted that 5 minutes of my life back

 

[CrackedDSM]

I asked Lucas English in the "status of pina motorsports" thread what he disliked about TunerPro, honestly just curious to hear what a big name/well known tuner thinks, and got this little gem of a PM from Clipto.

English racing number 1 ecmlink #1 all other programs crap and not as smooth and easy as ecmlink. Lucas tuning for years to go he pro no one has shop like him in the pnw he doing something right he good his stuff he uses is good the arguement is stupid becuase everyone has there own opionion. Lucas likes ecmlink he use ecmlink, if lucas liked aem then he only push aem, he does use aem and is way nicer to use but it's whatever he use what he use they pwn u all good enjoy the day. Haters ganna hate they cant afford to go fast dont go fast.

Is he even speaking English? Does anyone speak "moron" that can translate?

 

[91stocker]

Hmm, im guessing he wasnt sober when he sent that
