Well I dont consider myself an a$$hole b/c I dont dis other cars. I didnt even know my car was a dsm til I was told by a friend. I even asked him what a dsm was b/c I didnt know. lol

The guy that dissed a 300z probably wanted to race so he could get beat so he could cry about it :pface But I like all nissans and toyota's. Always have but I was on a budget with getting a car, so you get what you can afford til you can trade it or buy something else.

I was actually thinking about an Eclipse (the version before the current one - MKII? - like in the F&F)

What put me off was the very cheap and nasty interiors - not at all like the Mitsubishi cars I was used to in the U.K. and Europe.

So I ended up with the 240SX instead - much better build quality indeed

I've never heard of the term DSM anywhere other than here in the USA though

There's nothing wrong with owning a DSM, or having pride in it.It's like having asian, black, gay, or white pride.But once you start promoting it, thinking you're better because of it, or putting down others without it, then I get a "little" ticked.... no one is better than anyone in todays world.

[SilviaLuvr]

I only have two words for dsm owners: F U C K Y O U!!!!

DSM owners are some of the most retarted ***holes in the import scene, I think DSM and honda hold grudge matchs to see who can be the most arrogant dumba*s. It also proved his stupidity with a ****ty FWD "peelout"(I use that term loosly, since we all know using the Ebrake to "burnout" or "peelout" is gay!!)

Not to mention the fact he dissed a 300z, what a moron, I guess he is just pissed due to the fact Nissan holds a very good reputation unlike that sh*tty car his parents found on some junklot for him.

Someone needs to cut his balls off, we can't have a moron like this reproducing.

rather that or he got *****ing destroied by a Z he was just pissed off...drove around looked for any nissan or nissan owner he could find to take his anger out on

[nismodave]

Yeah, I hate when others hate on a car especially on 240s.

Anyone with a bone stock 240 has been hated on due to high 15 sec time slips.

I think that anyone who owns a car and puts time money and attention in it, deserves some amount of respect, due to the fact they are not smoking or drinking or pissing their money away with nothing to show.(Yes even honda ricers)

Idiots who diss your car should just be laughed at and called a fool.

In regards to guy who talked s***, 240sx2nr95, save your pennies, get a swap AND BUST HIS *** ON THE TRACK.

:ylsuper

oh man funnyiest thing happen me and afew of my boys went to play ball (this is when i had my first 240 exhaust CIII Veilside bodykit intake) soe dude in a eclipse RS pulled up and parked next to me they checked out my car me and my boys checked out his he had a vis (s hittiest kits on the planet) blitz boddy kit k&n sticker and some muffler stcok rims..RS mind ya my boy goes "...so what modle is that" the owner says "Its a GS-T no GS-X" (i never did the talk'n back then cause i didn't know d*** about import cars only exotics) my boy was like oh thats cool...so when his boys went inside my two boys jsut bust out laughing...i was like what was so funny they go gs-x and gs-t comes wit rims not hub caps besides you can still see the RS logo on the back of the car...

[TrueSlide]

rather that or he got *****ing destroied by a Z he was just pissed off...drove around looked for any nissan or nissan owner he could find to take his anger out on

haha probley, so he decided to crack on the owner that happen not to have his car their. What way could they prove the better if the show stoppin 240 wasn't there

[SilviaLuvr]

by the way what does dsm stand for d1ckless sad men of whatever you guys think up to go in place with those initials

[UncleBen]

hey bro i'll come down there w/ robbie and whoever else wants to go, and smack him around a lil bit. that fertilizer idea was great, put DSM SUX and then draw a huge pen15. heh, that would be a site, lol.

[Lsnaple]

i wouldve said something about the fact that he spent way more money on a less reliable, front-wheel drive, factory turbocharged vehicle (not dissing turbo in any way). then said to put the same turbo on your car and you would blow his *** away.

kinda sucks when you cant think of things to say at the moment.that always happens to me.so then i just kick their ***.

[Megaseth]

I would like to see him take out his anger on a new Maxima SE. pull up to some guy in one thinking he can take him cause all Nissans suck, and then the Maxima just rapes him. aaahhh, yes, that would be nice.

[red240ne]

the only people that diss on my car are domestic owners of course. guys with the $hittiest trans ams and most worthless v6 camaros. the ones who actually know what it is, and know that's it's RWD respect it...Honda kids don't even know what rear wheel drive is.

[Dano]

yeah i wasnt feelin too great that night, thats y i didnt drive, but yeah, Ben that would be sweet to do that and mayb get some pickle relish and pour it all over his car....wrap it all in saran wrap and then let the sun bake it on... just an idea...

Because DSM = American :-) I bet you don't see eagle talons or plymouth lasers too much outside of the states either.

[ninjak84]

Silvialuvr: Theres no way thats your 240 in your sig!

[Zebrahead]

Lets not start flaming DSMs, because we start becoming more and more like that guy. I'm not defending them; they aren't reliable cars, but lets keep an air of dignity around here.

Nick.

[gtd65]

Hell I have a 240SX SE but these are my real wheels

[gtd65]

And circa 1987 here is a pic of my car long before the term "rice" or "DSM" was ever invented.

Note that this is a RHD version

[gtd65]

Can anybody tell me if you got Lancer 2000 Turbos over here in the USA? I always fancied one of these way back when...

Now it looks pretty awful though.

Quote »About the Lancer 2000 Turbo Group 4 Rally Car

In the past decade Lancer has established impressive records of success in international rallies. The rally car is the latest in a long Lancer line of thoroughbred competition vehicles developed by MMC. Basically same as the regular production Lancer 2000 Turbo, the Group 4 rally car is engineered to meet and exceed extraordinary demands of the international stage rally such as the Acropolis Rally.

Under-body protection is increased by the addition of light-weight alloy shield which covers the underside of the engine and gearbox. The single overhead camshaft 2OOOcc, 8-valve, cylinder unit with the addition of newly developed electronic control injection plus a competition turbocharger with intercooler produces 280PS at 7,Oltrpm (GIN), quite an increase over the base power plant with l7PS at ? rpm(DIN).

The TIM gear ratios are changed and a limited slip differential is incorporated in the rear axle. In order to produce high rates of acceleration with a comparatively low maximum speed the ratio of the final drive unit is also changed.

This year no less than 12 different types of Yokohama tyres ranging from extra wide, hand-cut racing tyres to narrow deep mud tyres will be available to the drivers in the rally team, The light weight alloy, extra wide wheels are enclosed within special wheelarch extensions and both the front and rear suspension systems incorporate gas/oil filled shock absorber units,

In order to provide maximum protection for the occupants of the Lancer Rally Turbo, a special steel safety cage is built into the car. Full aircraft type seat harnesses are provided for both driver and navigator, a special fireproof bulkhead is built across the rear of the car between the boot and the passenger compartment and the long-range fuel tank which is mounted in the boot filled with plastic foam to prevent fuel spillage in the event of the tank rupture.

The ignition can be switched off from either inside or outside the car, and a special fire extinguishing system is fitted.

The normal production Lancer 2000 Turbo is equipped with halogen headlamps and, as the Acropolis Rally event has many stages in darkness, four additional halogen lamps are fitted to each rally car,

International rallies form a particularly important part of manufacturers' engineering development programs. The many improvements which have been brought about in suspension, brakes, lights, comfort and durability in today's production cars have been developed in competition.The high-speed, high-performance touring car Lancer 2000 Turbo is engineered to meet the fast-growing needs of the world's market where economical, performance cars are seriously wanted while the mainstream of design tends to be simply smaller, and more and more economical. At the same time, the 2000 Turbo is expected as an image leader in the KG markets for MMC's products.

In another aspect, the entries of sheer Japanese turbocharged cars have been gathering wide and keen attentions of the international rally circle as the year 1981 is regarded the combats between Turbo’s" especially in the "sprint WCR events in which Audi Quattro and Renault 5 have already won an event respectively.

The entries of Lancer Rally Turbo are to be made under the Team Ralliart which will be the core of motor sports activities of MMC.

Rallies for Mitsubishi -- A Brief History



MMC has entered quite a few international and domestic rallies with its mass~production-model based rally cars. It has been, and will be, indispensable to further improve technology and engineering standards incorporating the data gained through fierce, torturing conditions in which the pure comparison with competition could be made. The only way to eliminate the weak points, and to develop superiority.

The results are beautifully materialized in the Galant and Lancer. perfectly balanced performance and handling, efficiency and reliability with outstanding safety behind the high international recognition are nothing but the accumulated technological experience gained through the numerous rally activities.[/quote]

Now that was all pretty impressive back in 1981 for a 2000cc car if you ask me . It is pretty impressive even in 2002

[Nebraska240sx]

how about you just put some moth balls in the gas tank, when they disolve, his car will run like it is on nos all the time, soon after they do the blosk will seize and he will but fukked, you can't race a car that don't run

[AZhitman]

Once again, our brother from the midwest proves his intellect.

1) Mothballs in the fuel is an old-school octane-enhancing racer trick, and won't "seize the blosk" as you so brilliantly put it. Besides, 240's (and all other cars built since the late 80's) have a restricted fuel filler neck with a hole roughly the size of your pen15. Therefore, mothballs won't fit.

2) For someone who CLAIMS to have a fast 240, I'm amazed that you'd advocate vandalism of another enthusiast's vehicle. Guess I'd better look out for you, huh? :rolleyes

3) I'd LOVE to catch you putting something in my tank. Then your sig line could read, "A$$ whippings, 2".

I just read the initial post and I didn't wanna read anymore but if you're mad why did you let him peel off like that, matter of fact why did you even let him leave, you there wid your bois and they stood around do nothing? Around my way he would've been rolled on hard for talking sh1t, THEN we would trashed his gayass dsm then WE would've burnt off and left them there. But then again this is how we do things in philly.

[Dano]

yeah it was stupid for posting this, i shouldnt have...but i did for some reason or another, but like i said, i was feelin like **** that night with a bad headache and other pleasent crap, and yeah, ill get the dude back when i get my car built up, then ill smoke his *** and everything will be hunky dorie.

-Dan

[Two-Forty]

Good luck, when you do beat him, let him know why he lost, maybe eat a taco while doing it?

[Dano]

So "DSM" refers to the clones etc then? or the US rebadged Mitsubishi-based cars then? As opposed to USDM Mitsubishis?

You don't see Mitsubishi Eclipses outside of the states either as far as I am aware? Perhaps in the Americas yes...Canada/South America etc.
