Hello I am new to this forum and I have been a long time viewer. I own a Pearl orange bad ass 2g dsm and I have had it for 9 years. It has been sitting for a while But I never gave up and finally got it fixed....so I thought. Long story short I have been over 4,000 grand on this car since I first put the new motor in that was about 2009. Since 2009 I have bought new parts, towed to every shop in my area paying top dollar for labor, towing and towing and towing and still I go to start this POS this morning and it will not start. It's a non turbo and I keep seem to realize how a all-motor car can be so complex and shitty.

Excuse the rant.... 2009 was when I got a new motor put in there since then I have:

New timing belt
New valve cover gasket
endless amount of spark plugs I can't even guess how many I bought
wires, oil change, gas cleaner fuel injector cleaner
new tires
towing and towing
paying for labor for shops to work on the car
new PCM after PCM after PCM
And most recently latterly and the past month up to this morning
new spark plugs
camshaft senor
crankshaft sensor
gas cleaner
fuel injector cleaner
Pcm
fuel filter
new fuel injector
fuel pump
:ohdamn:
I am so fed up I am about to give up on my dsm dreams I want to turbo this car and make 400hp ( with supporting mods of course Trust I know and seen it all from 8 sec dsms to 0-60 in 2.8 sec evo's)
I have made want to turn this shit box into a beast but I just can't get it running again.

I eventually what to do an awd conversion and evo 8 swap but I really need some help figuring out WHY THIS CAR WON'T WORK.

The shops I have taken this car to are
RC hill mitsbishi
Meinke
s&e automotive
and another shop in orange city fl that I can't remember

Honestly I love this car it is so BAD ASS pearl orange chrome rims chrome style tail lights turbo spoiler Brand new AEM cold air intake forgot to mention that. I m piss poor emotionally and just tired is there any hop for this car before I do the unthinkable and trade it or sell it?
 
you know what burrow your a complete asshole I'm trying not to comment here anymore but I'm stuck on it and I give it a little longer and It'll be over it. I'm trying to delete this stupid account I don't want to be here anymore and don't want to talk to jerks like you.

So that what I would do to a gsx that was exactly like mine asshole I hope you cash your car and never get a new one.

So that's what I would do to a gsx that was exactly like mine asshole I hope you crash your car and never get a new one.

I'm so pissed and stressed out I cant even type I hate this place!

PM a Admin, in sure they'll make it happen, or instead of making a scene as if you we're four you can just log out and leave it at that. Perhaps come back as someone else when your ready to listen. Everyone has gave you information but it just seems as if you ignore it. Hence why everyone is flustered. Anyways have a good one.
 
When you burst into a forum acting like you know everything about our cars (and like you said specifically, mine "inside and out") but can't solve a simple no-start issue, don't expect the warmest of welcomes. You came off like an absolute ricer. Which I'm assuming you are, since you think your 420a with chrome taillights is fast. ANYWAY, aside from that...

I was prying to see if you had done ANY research at all for the road to 400whp and was going to make other suggestions for it. I wanted to know what you'd run for fuel, a turbo, bolt-ons, motor etc.

If you're really heading out, see ya. If not I'm still here waiting for your answer so we can all start to really help you out with things.
 
Yeah orange people are here to help, I have been watching this thread and can't understand why any one would build a 420 when they can by a 4g for cheaper. Take a chill pill and listen to people, if they ask questions answer them. You will get much further

I have had this car for ten years I don't plan on getting rid of it ...sure I could buy an evo for 15,999 with 100k miles on it and sure I could buy a gsx but none of them would mean anything compared to the sentimental value of this car AT ALL. I think I want to see it to it's end and I do know a lot about cars but I am no mechanic nor do I have a helping hand in doing car work. But sure I could work on the car but would rather not. I was going to buy some tools and start working but couldn't before was getting bashed to all hell for saying I know about cars I THINK I HAVE A RIGHT TO SAY THAT after I have pretty much replaced everything on the damn car probably will before it's working properly.

What's that other DSM forum? (The one I ignore when it comes up in my google searches)

They care less about grammar and forum members bickering and flaming each other. You might like it more there.
DSMtalk.com

(this sarcasm comes from reading 3 pages of this thread and I apologize)

Now to the helpful bit:
Use Searchtempest.com to search craigslist
1. Put in your search parameters and hit "SEARCH!"
2. Pick "No stay on Search tempest"
3. In the upper center click the blue "Direct Results Mode"
4. Click the BIG blue "Open Results Windows" (if you have popups allowed and are using anything newer than IE5 then two windows should popup)
5. Blissfully search each region to your heart's content

Helpful hints:
  • You can quickly search an entire chunk of the US if you search from the same computer and click on the bad cars too just to turn the links purple (visited) then it will be obvious which posted are new and fresh.
  • Also check out the Advanced Searching section on this Page for some powerfully accurate craigslist searches!

i'm up to it and focusing now on trying to stay focused on getting the gsx after i deal with this rs. It is going to be a while to come up with the money if i could get one for 5k that would be great and faster

What about your 35k loan? You would have nasty 9 second dsm for suuurrreeee

You're not!, snowboarder is the grammar police. :p

OP, if you can read the rules, you can't delete your account, and dsm tuners own everything you post.

^^^ the parts list was wanted so you got a little more background on me and the car. I've had a long time to think about things this is in no way my only parts list I have made but one that was up to date until a member had me convicted I should go another route. I don't know what I want to do really my head is clouded I have to go to work in the morning and my car is going to the shop in the morning and I don't have to pay a tow truck drive for the first time in......ever......

Awwww and i had thought we come so far. ;(

Your videos mean nothing, you think you're a ninja just cause you watch a few jackie chan movies?
 
Chief of grammar police - This reference is always used by uneducated people in an attempt to deflect cause. The fact that I pointed out your consistent run-on sentences and strewn together muddled thoughts does not make me the grammar police. I'm simply stating the reality of your posts.

Hierarchy of respected members - There is no hierarchy per say, but in general you will only get people like yourself responding to these types of threads (you do not want this) if you post in the manner you do. What you do want is people who are knowledgeable to respond so you can suck off of the information teat.

I didn't see this one but in response I don't remember asking you for your information teat and if that's how you feel then keep your info.

this thread gets worse and worse I think it's not going to end this car will be the death of me.

Uneducated I work 40 hrs a week and go to college (3.5 gpa) what the hell does he know It was so hard finding a job in the architectural field this dumbass has no idea how hard the architecture profession is to break into.
 
i'm pretty sure OP is a troll, just saying.



....and please don't put a body kit on ANY car you get. but as for the car you have now, scrap it.
