Why would he want to ditch the car? Just think about it. If your going to build/drive a FWD. just put together a honda. They will take the DD abuse much better. I would not do it. ---

Ok I would PASS on IT BUT… I have daily driving a fwd dsm for 60,000 miles the only thing that went bad on it (other than what I fucked with) was 1)a wheel breaing @ 120,000 (two hours to replace) and 2)a thermostat (20 min) This could happen to any car, . And a car that came turbo,DSM might just hold up a lil better than one that never came with one(honda). But the fact that he only wants to trade says somthing fishy… If your neon runs well I would hang onto it. No ONE trades a good car. If you did get that DSM it needs a Fuel Pressure regulator, the 255 pump will overrun the stock FPR, causing some funny stuff ($225) ---

DSM’s dont make very good DD’s I don’t understand this statement. Now if he was looking into a 4x4 truck with 10" of lift & 40" tires, I could understand this, but this is a 4cyl fwd car.

i own two dsms. they can be dd. but not that one. it looks like a heap. keep your neon. that talon is another one of the 9 out of ten hack job dsms and dont come back saying dsms cant be dd. theyre old and turbo’d. theyre beat. find a cherry one and dd you’ll see. edit: also the best fwds are hondas. ive seen dudes slap pistons and dsm 450s in a b16 with whatever turbo and decimate cars let alone if you take hondas to the next level. ---

actually I think it looks half decent, but the pics don’t show the front of the car at all so I guess the hood gap, headllights, and bumper got some issues. the other problem is all those ricer stickers, and the gay vent visors however I like that it is a swap, because your insurance will be cheaper. I find it odd he only wants to trade, but even weirder he won’t accept a stock vehicle if he really wanted to dump a POS he would take anything ---

I have NEVER had problems with a neon… other then replacing the motor. that was brought upon myself. (If you wanna play, you gotta pay) I’d take a 1st gen neon over a DSM for a DD anyday [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sound-like-a-good-car-or-not/194164.md?page=2)
