Mate i was having a joke. I know the Talons have alot of potential. I'm just not a big fan. Each to there own I guess. Sorry to hear about your accident. I drive a BMW 530 E39. I bought it as a write off (totalled in America) and fixed it up. Before that i had a Mercedes 190E.

Thats the most un-informed comment I've ever read. The 4g63 is one of the most potent and durable DOHC 4 cylinder motors ever built. Strong Cast-iron block, good flowing aluminum head, EFI, quick spooling TD05-14B Mitsubishi turbo. The only problem the DSM's ever had centered around the drivetrain. Which does'nt become an issue until you start dipping into the low 11's and start playing with aftermarket clutches. Most issues came from using a very heavy duty single disc clutch. Most issues have been avoided now a days by utilizing twin disc setups. This greatly reduces the blow to the driveline and ultimately leads to a much longer life for the drive parts. (Axles,gearboxes,transfer-cases,differentials)
I've owned over a dozen since 1995. Why would I want to own more than one? Because for very little money I've spanked all kinds of Vette's, Porsche's, Lambo's,Ferrari's, crotch rockets and imports on the track,off the track, and in my wallet. I'm not the type that gets a lump sum of cash and goes out and buys an exotic. I'm the type that builds his own toys and for a lot less cash than these overpriced exotics and so called "super cars" than beats the p i s s out of them wth a car that came with a sticker price of under $30,000.
Lets see. I ran 11.03 in my 93' Talon TSi on pump gas and 10.66 @ 137mph on C-16. Don't believe it? Go to www.dsmtimes.org and see for yourself.
I've also spent $1,500 total to make a 91' Talon TSi AWD run 11.90's @ 120mph. And at the moment I have a 92' that has gone 9.41 @ 151. Come summer the car will be laying down over 1,000whp and putting down 8 second passes.

Now I ask the question,what do you drive?

Hah, relax dude. I was defending your choice of vehicles. As pointed out, I was being sarcastic.

I also have reread your post and want to add that I am no longer going to defend you because you're an arrogant ****.

wow,very upsetting.

I'm not arrogent. I just can't stand when people make un-informed statements. Plus if you were joking why did'nt you say so. I'm not a total a s s h o l e. I'm just a little defensive because the teens of this generation are taking over the automotive forums that I frequent with their Fast & Furious attitudes and know-it-all chips on their shoulders. Exscuse me if I was rude. I just wish people would be a little more deliberate in the statements they make.

You going to drop it? Hardbody's are awesome little trucks and look great when bagged and body dropped.
 
Sweet Cooper S! I got a R56 justa Cooper myself! Good to have another MINI owner on the boards!

Just don't go flaunting your timeslips like they somehow make you better than anyone. I think the general consensus is that most of the DSM products are pretty stellar and have a lot of potential. I apoligize if my sarcasm was not clear, as I am used to forums (my350z to be exact) where snarky comments are the norm. (And it appears that my snark was misplaced anyway, as the person I was responding too was also joking.) And for it it's worth, I don't think you're an a'hole at all. The asterisks represent tw followed by at. Have a beer and relax. I'd love to do the same but I won't be home for another 2 hours.

Lotus Exige Cup (265bhp)

Built by Lotus Sport with roll cage and track safety equipment, LSD, adjustable suspension (Öhlins), sinter clutch, etc. Supercharger by the Swiss tuner, Bemani. Bigger brakes courtesy of my Lotus dealer.

It's a dream come true!

Brightens the darkest day :)

But this is no mere "garage jewellery" – it gets used – hard!

I practice in winter with GT4 with a suitably tuned Lotus Elise 111R – hoping that GT5 has the Exige – Krypton Green option would be perfect 👍

Not updated my stuff in a while.
I added a Smart Brabus Xclusive Roadster-Coupé to my garage

I also got rid off the 300ZX TwinTurbo and got an Aston Martin DB7 V12 Vantage instead.

But that was only an V12 itch to scratch. I really wanted a Nissan GT-R to replace both the Exige and Aston. But the Euro models had no end of issues – new engines needed – overheating transmissions and inadequate brakes.

So I sold the Exige and Aston and got a 997 4S

I think it's great – but my wife and daughters hate it. "Anything but a Porsche!", they cry.

The improved GT-R would be acceptable to them. Tried it at the Geneva Show

Sadly, not a realistic option... yet.

I'm definitively having a low truck once in my life, but I'd prefer to start with a 2wd base then and a cleaner body. And I'd never bag and bodydrop one, mine would have 14-15" knock-off wire wheels and juice like they did in the late 80s and early 90s..
It still excites me a lot though, the frame is good, it gets anywhere, it can haul my cars and other stuff.. It's done 253k miles and starts up like it was brand new, idles very smoothly, heats up quickly and is basically what you'd love from a daily.

The Hardbody with my Cressida and Mk3 outside our little cave :)

Personally i wouldn't have sold the Aston and Lotus to get a 911 4S (mainly because i only like the Boxster, Turbo, GT2 and GT3).

Mind you, i suppose its a bit like the Aston and Exige combined - comfort and performance.

#1)I Don't drink. Last time I had a beer Bush Sr. was in office.
#2)I've been racing/building DSM's since the early 90's and NHRA Super Stock for many years before that. When the internet started getting overloaded with kids I took a looooooong break from message boards. Reason being these kids sign up with absolutely no good intent. They simply want to bash people that have what they want. Plain and simple.
So this is why I came out with guns blazin'. I misunderstood you,and I'm sorry for that. But I think it's time the moderators around these automotive forums take a look at what these younger members are posting. Not to say every younger member is a problem. But thats where most of the issues stem from.
Not to pat myself on the back,but when I was a member on a certain DSM forum that I won't mention right now guys respected one another. I spent hours a day helping people out with their own projects and I did'nt mind because we all got along and did'nt break eachothers b a l l s. I always go by the saying "if you don't have anything nice to say,don't say anything at all"
Meaning if you think the guy posting pictures is a bull****ter,keep it to yourself. It just makes arguments. It's not going to make anyone feel better other than yourself.
 
Ghetto fabulous and dirty in my garage with the recycling....

Not an Eagles fan. 👎 That's my girl's side of the garage usually.

Girlfriends new car! She had been driving a 1995 Explorer for a couple of years and she deserved to get herself something new and good. New and good the Fit is IMO. I'll probably be driving it more than her simply because it gets sooo much better gas mileage than the GTO. New cars are fun.
 
I bought a Lexus IS250 about a week ago. It's an automatic with paddle shifters. I really like it. It's so quiet inside, it's incredible.
