New dsm to minnesota?

[2g Monson]

I bought my car from the same situation, a kid who had not a clue about the car but bought if from someone who built it. Luckily my dad is a smart man, got the original owners info from the title and called the first owner down in Georgia. Mine ran rich because it was supposed to have an AFC that had been stolen, and the kid I got it from had no idea. Moral of the story is don't believe everything you hear. Do your research.

"This thing does... ummm... its got lots of different things it does."

"Here we have readouts... This is a turbo timer."

"This tells you readouts."

"This one, you can do this and you can do that."

Guy sounds like he has no friggen clue what he is talking about.

I pray to God that I'm wrong, cause if you buy this, it might be a nightmare. If he did it all himself, who knows what could be wrong with it. If he paid a shop to do it all, his money and intelligence ratio is way off... and his intelligence is the part that is heavily lacking.

this.

It looks clean but if I'm going to buy a 'reliable' dsm, I would personally go take a look at it. Even if it's modded correctly by the previous owner, you don't know what the current owner has done to the car...unless you personally drive the car itself to see it for yourself. Like others have said on here, you can find better ones here in the forums and locally. I've been DD'ing the Galant for 2 proud years through winter and summer. I'd wouldn't take the risk and just buy locally ;)

It would easily make over 400hp, but most people talk flywheel numbers to the general public, only us car guys talk in wheel horsepower. So figuring 350whp=400hp, this should be easily doable.

It is a clean car, but you are taking your chances driving a car all the way across the country after just buying it. Although I did this yesterday, bought a 160k mile Acura TL in Kansas City, jumped in and drove 80mph all the way home, no problemo. Just be prepared if something happens and get out your credit card.

^^you drove an acura tl home, he's driving a 17 year old dsm home....there's a large difference between the 2 haha.

Looks nice, but there are nice cars like this locally as well.

research alot more if you're not sure. I'd suggest getting a car that is stock but I don't think that is going to happen. If you purchase a modded dsm, you don't know how much abuse it has taken. I researched/read online/asked around for a good 3-4 years before getting the galant and I know enough to do what I like in the car. The only reason why DSMs are known to be shit is because of shitty owners.
