What made you sell/partout your DSM?

[1QUICK4]

Ever catch them? They must have taken a lot to make you part out.

Nope, and they cut the harness/hoses/lines apart with a sawzall

Id say wisdom like someone else said. Never been back to the mitsu game and couldnt be happier with my slow nazimobiles.

Got my 1g at the age of 16, rebuilt the engine, tranny, exterior, everything. Was a fun project while I was a kid, but 5 years later i just wanted out. Too much headache. Got a 95 M3, loved that car to death, and want another. Miles and rust started accumulating underneath and I wanted something newer. Thus the owdee.

So many times have I thought about evos, especially after each cruise, but then I see how they are just newer dsms and say nope.

At the end I burned out two Fuelab pumps and made it a total of a block on both.



Typical Fuellab junk.

I parted because of worthless piece of shit thieves

No, they broke in and stole a bunch of his parts.

Bought my 93 awd Talon from my mother (original owner that daily drove it for 8 years and misses it everyday since she sold it to me) and tried out a bit of drag racing. Had some fun in the stock setup and came out with a few trophies. Got into rallycrossing and had a blast! After a while it got a little old and I wanted a bit more of a challenging drivetrain setup. Sold it 5 years after I bought for $200 less than what I paid for it and turned over rallycross duties to my CRX. FWD was fun for a while, but it just wasn't what I wanted. Then got the bright idea to go to an MR setup (mid engine-rwd). Bought an old MR2 and absolutely love it for dirt racing. So much more smiles-per-run than the talon or CRX ever was.

Sadly now I'm looking at parting ways with the MR2 also for family reasons (little one coming in January). When I get back into dirt racing though, it will be a mid-engine/rear drivetrain that I pick.

Wow I finally put two and two together... you rallyX the Mk1 and drive sweep in the CR-V?

[At-Least-It's-An-Evo]

Yes he does.

I didn't expect to spark such a great discussion. When I sold my talon and picked up an M3, I had a few thoughts about it afterward. I watched some of the videos of my launches, 1/4 mile passes and so on. It brought back some memories, and always does.

I've had the talon for 3 years and it went from completely stock form to a high 11sec 1/4 mile car with just a 16g and ethanol on stock block. I wasn't entirely sure how much longer I had left in my block after countless pulls while tuning, lots of 1/4 mile passes and a lot of more or less aggressive street driving.

I suppose that in my case, I wanted more refinement, luxury, nice and smooth quiet ride, superior handling, instant torque, and German build quality along few other factors. That is the reason why I chose e36 M3. Sometimes I miss the rush of 400whp.. My bimmer only has 240 to the crank, but the power delivery is so smooth and undramatic that even that power is very satisfactory. I am able to take corners in such a way that I was not even aware possible before. It is really an incredible driving machine.
