DSM = Diamond Star Motors = Mitsubishi
The picture is just bashing on the reliability of Mitsubishis. And I, for one, can back that up. EDIT: Too slow. Art beat me to it. This post has been edited by vangSTa_celica: Apr 2, 2006 - 10:56 PM --------------------  A Jaws4God Creation... |

haha very true but the 6 bolts I built up are both pushing over the 1000 mile mark. STAY AWAY FROM THE ACT 2600! those will eat your motor alive whatever you got.
A nice compromise is the Centerforce Dualfriction. -------------------- 94' ST Coupe - 5sfe Motor swap and brake swap.

lol..thouse 2 pics just reminded me of a guy i was in college with. He had a 92 Talon. he blew his motor b4 school started, he blew his motor while i was there, got it back, and apparently blew his motor again..all crank walk, all on the highway, all the exact same way. Curisng along, goes 2 pass some one, gives her some gas, a big thud, every thing shuts down, car gets hard 2 turn, some more bad noises come from under the hood, and then pullin over on the side of the highway to call for a towtruck and to call ur shop to say "Its me again...it happened again...."

you really cant own a dsm and take it to a shop. you just wouldnt be able to afford all the repairs. thats why DSM's are turing normal people into mechanics since 1989.
