So I bought my 1st DSM but It Didn't Feel official...

Now I'm officially a DSM owner as the car jumped timing. I thought I'd left the maf unplugged while pulling off all the vacuum lines, but the exhaust cam was advanced by 1 tooth. That's what you get from leaking cam seals...


I've had the car for 9 days. 5 days driving 4 days broken.


So I ordered all the timing stuff and I'm going to get it done this week.

Brand new car, sorta speak, and it has problems already. Yup, I'd say you're an official DSM owner.

oh, at least I'm getting all of the maint. stuff out of the way early. It'll be running good for a few days before I trash the stock clutch.... At least it's cheaper to fix than my VW.

You need to update your profile so we know what your first DSM is

Anyway, congrats !!!! If you take care of your ride, It'll take care of you !!!!!


EDIT: Well I just skimmed the other thread and seen your ride (you should still update your profile )

Sorry to hear it, I've had a DSM (x3) for 4,015 days, and 4,015 driving !!!

Welcome to the club. Mine lasted about 3 weeks of ownership, and less than three months after a top end rebuild before it again threw the timing belt.

Just when I was beginning to enjoy the car it decided to break on me. Oh well, since I have 2 other vehicles. I am letting my Talon sit. It wants to leave me sit in the middle of a construction zoe in the dark with all kinds of traffic wizzing by..hmmph..well then it's just gonna have to sit awhile until I get good an ready to fix it. See how it likes it!

Gotta lay down rules right away.
