recovering DSMer?

I almost bought one. I think they're one of the best styled cars out there, and respond so well to mods, but too bad they have such bad reliability. Speaking of... I hardly see them on the road anymore around here.

I had one a few years ago. A 1G Eclipse GSX. 6/4 combo, fully bolted. It was fun, but broke down all the time... so I sold it.

Azn Akira, that car looks nice!

Yeah, they would be the older Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talons and the Plymouth Laser I believe.

yes sir, and to inform anyone wondering "wth does dsm mean?", dsm = diamond star motors (aka Mitsubishi). although there is quick debate to point out that dsm only refers to the chrysler/mistubishi partnership ONLY as that after the parting-ways of the two companies, dsm became mitsubishi, but ask anyone running a mitsubishi today and they still feel that dsm describes all that is mitsu (former and current).

here's mine. I never really had any good pics of it.

Something pretty crazy happened to it though. The subframe tore. Yes, the metal piece that holds all the suspension parts and goes from the passenger side to the driver's side.

Replacing that piece sucked...

Eh...sorry, but everything after 1999 isn't considered a DSM, as they were made after the Mitsu-Chrysler contract expired.
If you wanna get super-technical, anything after 1995 isn't a DSM, it's an 'MMNA'. (http://en.wikipedia....nd-Star_Motors)

But who cares what is what? rolleyes.gif

I was referring to the 1990-1999 turbo Eclipses, Talons, and Lasers.

Those are the funnest models. tongue.gif
