Then I’d be really smart just like you and know exactly what I’m talking about 🙂 just because your my roommate doesnt mean i wont be the first to point out in the 3 years of you owning a dsm your car has yet to run right or w/o a check engine light… does that mean its the car or you the owner 😉 ---

Its the driver or the mechanic. I raced a dsm running 11lbs of boost with a 60-1 in my stock s2000. From 25mph to 100mph, he beat me by 3/4 a car. :walter: ---

> [@sweet89s13](#): > > just crusing through the stupidity, why have you guys owned 100 dsm’s? do you need that many for spare parts? Thats alot of reliable fast cars to burn through. only a few of them were fast. the rest were just basic fixer uppers. some just for a part out, to get performance parts or other shit off the car for other builds. for example, i just picked up a complete running 92 auto tsi awd with a 4 bolt lsd rear end to tear down and do an auto swap on my galant. its all part of the game. when you can buy a car, snag all the parts you want, sell the rest and still make money out of the deal. ---

Thats alot of reliable fast cars to burn through. i do the same thing with honda’s so does that mean that they are all junk and have crankwalk 😉 different strokes for different folks i personally dont know anyone who has had good luck with a dsm, the 4 or 5 that my friends owned were parked/broken down alot more than they were running, but just because thats all ive seen doesnt mean there arent nice reliable ones out there ---

fast, reliable, cheap. DSM’s only get to pick one. Honda owners get all three. Seen a lot of crx’s go into the 12’s with $2500. Thats why a lot of people hate honda’s. It sucks when you spend a shit load of money on a car and a cheap ass honda with a homemade turbo kit goes door to door with you. How about instead of buying a whole car for a rear end why not just buy the rear end and stop ripping “good cars” apart. ---

I am doing a 5 speed to automatic swap. engine harness interior harness TCU transmission front axles LSD rear dif rear axles shifter assembly shift cable brake pedal prolly a few other things i am missing that i will need. how many 12.xx sec and lower hondas are even on this forum(not including bill b/c hes a cheater and doesnt count haha j/k) EDIT: i hate hondas because most of them are slow, riced out, loud fart can, and drive like asshats. not because they are some far superior starting platform and beat me on the streetz with nawzzz EDIT2: we need a timeslip list and tab at the top section of the page. Pretty much 4g63 and LSx’s run the show here (with a couple exceptions). ---

Didn’t know it took 100 dsm’s to get those kind of parts. And no I don’t read, bs will rot your mind. Must be you only look at turbo hondas that use DSM parts. Or else you would see more 12sec hondas. ---
