You're not a true DSMer unless.......????

[LumpyVR4]

Doors in junk room, roof liner under bed in spare room, and crank rods head cams manifold damper and belts under my bed.

 

[luv2rallye]

Forgot to loosen the water pump pulley bolts before you take off all of the belts, or did Gary cover that too???

YES I forgot that one! I forget to do that every single time (I think everyone forgets).

You’re not a true DSMer until you’ve Atleast replaced ONE door handle, drained the spare tire well of water, fiddled with the door ajar button, or been annoyed by the beeping of leaving the key in the ignition and door or hatch open.

Might I also mention trying to fix that horrid “passenger air bag pad peal”.?

 

[1GAWD87]

Your not a true dsmer until.. every 1g you buy is missing a radio, and the rear hatch doesn't stay up. But hey it came with extra parts!

 

[DV8_75]

You’re not a true DSMer until.....
you have sat on the side of the road, waiting for someone to bring you that tire you unfortunately decided you didn't need in the car. SMH

 

[Bud92gsx]

Damm I'm soo glad I bought a mostly untouched 1g. I've never had most of ur issues.

 

[Lucky13]

You know your a true DSM'er when....
You can complete every repair without buying a new tool.

 

[SixBolt_16G]

You're not a true DSMer until.....

....youve had to invent your own tools
....youve invented a new curse word
....youve had parts on your car from a minimum of 3 other Mitsubishi or non-Mitsubishi cars
....you've promised your spouse that "this will only take a second" to work on what shouldve been the easiest shit...........five hours later.....

You're not a true DSM'er unless you've cut out your old wheel well and welded in a new one. Am I the only "true" DSM'er?

Your not a true DSM'er until you automatically know what size socket/wrench you'll need for the current issue before even opening the hood.

Your not a true DSM'er until you automatically know what size socket/wrench you'll need for the current issue before even opening the hood.

I have definitely reached this stage of ownership

 

[Harrison Scholten]

You're not a true dsm'er unless you have a bucket full of bolts you pulled off the car but have no idea what they actually came from.

 

[John Miller]

You're not a true dsmer unless you have dumped 3k into it and it still is non-running and on jackstands

 

[Bud92gsx]

When you have an issue and u get a pm from a friendly OG, asking if they can help, and maybe hook up up for free.
If I had a nickel for the free things I've gotten over the years from tuners ogs, I'd be able to register and insure my dsm. Ha ha ha ha ha

 

[John Miller]

Your not a true DSM'er until you automatically know what size socket/wrench you'll need for the current issue before even opening the hood.

It is either a 10mm, 12mm, or 14mm for 80 percent of the car

 

[559GSX]

You’re not a true DSM’er unless you’ve seen at least 5 jafromobile videos

 

[John Miller]

You're not a true DSM'er unless if you have tried to jack the rear end up by the subframe, but your dsm is so low that you have to do 2 inch strokes on the jack bar. Or in my case, your jack is a pos and requires a full length pull to get it to raise it up.

 

[2Gjunkie]

You’re not a true DSMer unless...
1) you have a swear jar in your garage... and you’re in the garage enough that you can fund new mods from that swear jar.

2) you both love the first FnF for the exposure it gave our cars, and hate it for the image it gave our cars.

 

[pauleyman]

You know the exact build date splits for any system you're working on and immediately recognize the wrong part they hand you at the parts store and tell them their computer is wrong.

 

[John Miller]

You're not a true DSMer unless if you're subscribed to MiguelDSM

 

[NVdsm]

Not a true DSMer unless...you always refer to them as 1g, 2g, 3g 4g to everyone even tho they have no idea what your talking about.
.... You’ve gotten asked what the bulge on your hood is for. I always say it’s my power bulge chicks dig the bulge hahaha at least that’s what I tell myself

 

[DJRace]

You're not a true DSMer unless you have... at least tried to gap every V8 you can.
... fixed your car to make it home.


These are awesome. Thanks for the laughs!

 

[lglracer]

Forgot to loosen the water pump pulley bolts before you take off all of the belts, or did Gary cover that too???

HAHAHA I laughed too hard at this. Ive done this so many times.

Not a true DSMer if you haven't taken one photo of your car getting loaded or already loaded onto the back of a flat bed.

I have pictures for both my Galants. I think they have about 5 each.

You're not a true DSMer if you always forget the small transmission bolt in the back of the engine above the t-case.

 

[Kryndon]

You're not a true DSMer unless you got stranded on the side of the highway then called your brother/buddy to come tow you with your other DSM but then you realized it's AWD so it got no tow hooks........
