> Aww, dont be one of those guys bro. People bitch about dsm cause they expect to replace a few parts, or even an engine, and think they can pound the piss out of it and nothing should go wrong. Usually neglecting the fact that a 12 + year old car that probably has been abused its whole life is gonna need work. I have built reliable, quick dsms. Its all how you build it.  
> What do you have? Mods? Problems?

no, not at all. the car was never abused, still doesn’t get abused. bought with 60k on it. is a gs so it wasn’t like the previous owner romped on it. but my sisters boyfriends have done a couple things that make me shake my head and i have to go back and fix. it took me two months to finally get everything fixed for the overheating issue, even synapse looked at it and though it was fine. its not the cars fault. right now, there is no problems with it. but its about to get torn down for a mild build and 5spd swap. and you have to admit, dsms are not the most reliable vehicle. they have their quirks, my sisters has never had a serious issue, besides the fact that the tranny can’t hold on much longer.
