I needed that this morning thanks!

"I've owned my car for 8 years, I know how it works" "I let the dealership work on it, they robbed my stuff off my car"

What would you bet th dealership "robbed" stuff off of his car because the guy is running a 400hp bypass valve with the bionic turbo hybrid syncro mesh? The were upset because he was light years ahead of the the factory. LOL

Was funny shit.
 
So I post up a WTB ad in the Colorado DSM Parts Trader FB page looking for a lifter removal tool. For those who are unaware of what that is, it basically compresses the valve spring so you can easily remove the rocker. Big deal, right?

Right off the bat one of the Admins tells me it doesn't exist. I post a video and a picture, and he calls me a "retard" for trying to "cut corners". I tell them I'm not going to remove all 4 of my cams just to replace some lifters, and they start to inform me that a 3000GT isn't a DSM. When I tell them I'm well aware of the differences and capable of working on both, and that I'm a Wiseman/Mod on multiple Mitsu forums, they mock me, delete my ad, and ban me from the page.

All this because I was looking for a $20 tool. Forgive me for saying this, but it seems the only tools I can find are DSM owners. Even Honduh guys have more dignity and respect for their peers than this.
 
Huh? Usually the ones that have to be spliced with a new harness, you have to drop the tank anyways. Just move it. Or disconnect the battery.

I'm in gmc hell all day everyday.. :)

Yeah it was on a 2002-2006 2wd 1500 Silverado. New fp came with a revised harness with 4 cute little heat shrink/crimp tubes. I usually don't drop the tank, I push the bed back. 6 bolts 3 screws and two connectors she's slid back sittin on the rear wheels shy of 10-20 mins. Additional person for actual moving of bed. Giggidy?

Anyway it's a confined space for gas fumes so I borrowed a real heat gun. Harness only had so much length to deal with, but I'm alive and no pickups were harmed in the making of said repair.

Oh ok it's a truck, I unbolt the bed and use a lift to move it up ;) so much easier

Do you even suck, squeeze, bang, blow, bro?

No wonder there are so many cars down ALL THE TIME. People with skills and knowledge, hell...even money to pay someone with those traits, are a dying breed.

Nope - Source: I provide design services and tuning to several Honduh forums.

But I hear you, those sorts of shenanigans are why I got out of the DSMTuners FB and other groups. Overflowing with retards.
 
I still see posts from friends in my FB sidebar to those groups....HUMONGOUS shitholes.
 
The Facebook dsm pages are full of dumbasses. Someone call me retarded because I told someone to run a recirculated o2 instead of a dump because he was worried about inspection. Then got pissed about me for saying an external wastegate is pointless when I never even said it. I've been seriously thinking about leaving every one because of the dumb people posting dumb questions or spreading wrong information

^Fact.

I only cruise those groups for good deals most of the time. As soon as im done building my car. Im leaving all of them.
 
Not dsm, but in regards to my front driveshaft on my jeep xj.

Go in to napa, whom I always have thought to be a step above other places, customer service and knowledge wise that is.

So I go in, with a part number, I tell it to him, 5-153x I need two. He proceeds to say they don't carry spicer etc etc, ok. He then starts to get my info about my jeep, normal. He then spouts out the dumbest thing I've heard anyone say while asking for front driveshaft u joints. "Is that a 4wd model?"..... really guy? He then pulls them up and is trying to get me to buy the $35 a piece CV joint when I know the fuggin things are $12 and its not a CV driveshaft...

In the mean time, this poor old lady is trying to change her wipers in a blizzard and can't figure them out, she comes in twice, two different employees go and help her and can't put them on. They open up 3 seperate wipers and try them all.

Needless to say, I walked out. I don't know if the lady ever got her wipers on, and I'm still on the hunt for u joints.

I watched the Autozone employee with a screwdriver trying to pry apart one of those Mazda flip keys. heard a small crack and stopped. I go over there and push in two spots and bam it's open. A 2 sec Google search on my phone saved an $80 Fob. Those guys are wreckless, one said he installs parts on the side trying to make cash...no thanks!

Heh, you just reminded me of the Advance Auto employee who was trying to help an old fellow put wipers on his C6.. with the hood down.
 
Guy from work is tryin to get me to race this kid from work "there's no way youl beat him his neon(srt4) has 400hp and his pssshsh sounds so much louder than yours"
 
Last night I was out at the bars drinking with some noncar friends of mine. I never talk cars with people that I don't know because people always turn it into the "my dicks bigger then yours" game. So in sitting there talking to a girl and my friend tells his friend about my car. Not paying attention to the guy at all he comes up and says my cars a POS. So I laughed and ignored him an turned back to the girl. My friend starts antagonizing him saying I have a lot of money so my car would smoke his. He turns back and says his 2012 Chrysler Crossfire has a 5.0 motor in it (for those that dont know this car does not exist) and that if I knew a damn thing about motors, that I would know I could never keep up because its just an eclipse and a 5.0 means you can't beat it. Me not caring again I said okay and turned back to the girl. She looked at me and said the guy was really pissed. Like beat red and looking like he wanted to fight. Wasn't worth it so I just left.
 
Out on a rig the other night @ -20f trying fix a loader. Dude comes out of nowhere and starts blabbing about this and that, I know things about loaders you don't. Look man I don't care I just wanna get outta here.

Dumbass words of wisdom, 'you know they make a 5w-0 oil now?'
 
Not a dsmer.But last night my fb status said H^^^y just picked up my car.

Him"boutt time you junk that foreign thing"
Me "sorry i dont drive a mustang,My car was built in illinois,take that son" Ha ha ha,made my morning when i seen it.

Only half right. Couldn't find a "5.0" but i did find these.

Just sayin it's not impossible, just improbable
 
Was at a parts store not long ago and overheard a fellow trying to buy winter wiper blades for his late model Cadillac. Store did not carry them, so he walks out and starts inspecting wipers that he had. Purchased the parts, i walk out and tell him about RockAuto and that they do have winter blades. Then he said something that left me speechless:

"Went to a Cadillac dealership looking for those wipers and they said there is no such thing as winter windshield wiper blade."

I would say that this guy didint. Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't know what a wrench looked like. One of those guys that knows everything but asks for help to show him how to do an exhaust. IT'S JUST GASKETS, NUTS, BOLTS AND PIPE
 
I wouldn't count this person a dsmer, but they had a 3G eclipse. They saw my 2g gsx and said "is that an eclipse?" I answered yes. They said "oh well mines better. And you know it. It has a v6!"
