whats up, im new to the whole 240 scene. My friend fiznat finally convinced me to sell my DSM and buy a 240. Haven't actually bough it yet, but im hoping to pick up a KA in the next week or two and send it off to the machine shop to start my project. If anyone in the Ct area has a red s13 hatch let me know........
P.S. yes "superDorifto" is me making fun of those people that take "JDM tight" way too ****ing seriously....

Re: another noob (superDorifto)
you're in the same boat as me. I owned two DSM's prior to my 240. You're going to love the reliability and RWD > *superDorifto wrote:whats up, im new to the whole 240 scene.

Re: another noob (Import_Ant)
Yeah i dont even want to get into the reliability thing. lets just say i practically gave my dsm away just to not have to think about it any more. And yes Fiznat is a bit fruity, but his car is scary fast.Import_Ant wrote:you're in the same boat as me. I owned two DSM's prior to my 240. You're going to love the reliability and RWD > *

Re: another noob (uncle_louie83)
are dsm's that bad? i was thinking of buying a 1st gen gsx just for the hell of it. awd is really tempting
Wassupp Will! I think you'll be a little happier here compared to the DSM community... Anything you wanna know about the KA-T, these guys are the ones to ask. Whatever you do though, dont listen to Alan AKA Nismo_Freak-- he will try to steer you to the dark side, but you must resisit!
Oh, and dont listen to WDRacing either... He's slightly less gay than Structure (zerothread?id=121820 ), and THATS saying something!! Oof! Two birds with one stone!!

Re: another noob (Craving4Boost)
The 4g63 is a great motor, dont get me wrong, and a properly modded 1st gen AWD eclipse can destroy most anything on the street. Its just that being a Transverse mounted engine makes working on any eclipse less than fun. plus the DSM community in CT is full of posers and high school kids that dont know their *** from their elbow. As with any car speed costs money, and i was tired of dumping money into my eclipse.Craving4Boost wrote:are dsm's that bad? i was thinking of buying a 1st gen gsx just for the hell of it. awd is really tempting
