What made you sell/partout your DSM?

[Mwolf83]

I had mine for 7 years only put about 5k miles on it and had a parts list above $65k, and it still wouldn't run properly or make more than 430whp. So it was time to part it out and get my Evo that I always wanted.

I owned two DSMs that I never put together and bought an Evo instead.

I don't like rust. My Talon had too much. My Evo has virtually none. Pretty self-explanatory.

As long as a guy can put up with a ratty old car, and all the rattles, etc. this is all true.

the rattles, very much so. Old cars rattle and you'll drive yourself crazy trying to fix them, so I just ignore them :) As for ratty, I won't own a 'ratty' (read: smelly, interior falling apart and mistreated) car, that is disgusting. My interior is always very clean. Exterior is another story, but who really cares about that for a cheap DD? :)

65k? now that is just silly.

I've owned 4-5 DSMs and I've actually had Really good luck with them. ive daily driven every DSM ive owned and im currently a college Student. Then again mine all were either close to stock or were lower mileage. Im building another right now that will be more of a road race car im thinking, and it will be the last one I build for awhile. For me its just the hassle of having an older car. They are reliable if you take care of them and replace parts, but on a newer car you dont have to worry about replacing a bunch of stuff. I also am not overy thrilled with some of the dis honesty that takes place with these cars now days, wheather its buying the cars, or the parts for them. overall its just nicer having a newer car.

I love DSMs But for me personally ive spent so much time effort and money owning one that id eventually like to find something else, prefearably newer

This thread is funny to me, a car is how you build it, mine? Made 440/460 at map for the last year of its life, got driven MN to TX numerous times raced the shit out of it, before i sold the thing it got the best tune ever maybe it was happy to be home but for how it was moving I would say that it was over 440/460 it made before i left.

I put on over 80k in my car in the 3 years I had it, (all 3 years were over 400@map)any problems were from me all these issues people are saying about the car, acting like it was purely the cars fault, whether it be drivability, power, what have you I say BS. This DSM is number 7 and I've never had these crazy issues with any of them.

Oh yeah why did I sell, because I made money on the deal, got to keep some key parts and found a cheap replacement for $200, I've always wanted to start from stock (old car was a tin can) and I've always wanted to build a motor so once I've done that the car can do whatever.

I sold mine because I got sick of dealing with it. It ran and drove just fine, didn't hardly rattle at all but I just got sick of driving a nearly 20 year old car.
