DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

Here's a few vids from last night when I raced a 1g Eclipse Turbo (FWD). The car was a huge piece of ----, the tranny slipped on a few runs, it was leaking coolant onto something hot, etc etc. The guy still thought he was going to beat me but "I couldn't shift right."

I took my time shifting in one or two of the videos I think.

Without further BS, here are the vids:

Wow that car/owner must really suck. He didnt even come close any of the races. Whats your crx got done?

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

Gutted, B16, I/E

The car sucked worse than he did.

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

wow, that seemed like a shitty DSM.

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

are you shure that was turbo ? id say it a tootle pos and not even worht posting if it was that bad off

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

A tootle pos? What the ---- is that?

English, speak it.

Yes I'm sure it was a turbo I looked under the hood. Those things aren't even that fast...you guys are acting like a stock 1g Eclipse turbo (FWD) is like a 10 second car or something.

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

with a boost controler they are normally WAY faster then a b16 crx with IHE even gutted :-) my friend had one with a boost controler and an intake mod and he was running 16-7 psi and hit a few 13.9's

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

He didn't have a boost controller :P

Frankly I think if he did, I would have just gotten to see a lot more carnage. Not like it matters though, I told him if he thought the results were bad this time around, wait until I can level the playing field and boost 12psi or whatever it is that they boost stock.

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

All motor sounded good though. I must say I thought I was the only one to add "izz" into things I said to be orginal. LOL. Guess not. :P

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

a b16 in a crx can be quick. If you guys look in the vids on here I think a crx with a b16 beat a turbo car a couple times.

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

yeah i remember that red one that dynoed at like 201 whp

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

stock dsms run high 14's to low 15's stock, they run about 12psi stock and gettin a boost controller to run 16-7 psi is not going to make them run 13.9's, i ran a 14.8 with my crx with b16 w/i/e and shitty clutch, and my friend went 14.3 in his crx with stock airbox, and exhaust cutout.

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

I dont think that DSM was a worth opponent, but its a kill none the less :y

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

Stock DSM's are ------- slow. But congrat's on the win.

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

AWD DSM's are rated for a 15.0 @ 92mph from the factory... as-is bone stock. That isn't very fast at all. Nothing special. Especially compared to a gutted out B16 CRX.

Now yes, with just stupid "free mods" and a free flowing exhaust you can get a DSM very very fast. Personally I got a 13.1 @ 106mph outta my VR4 on the stock turbo, clutch, intercooler, etc... only mods I had were a chip, exhaust, injectors, intake. :)

You don't need a lot to get a DSM to run a quick pass. But there are a lot of idiots out there too.

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

Well if we're going to have a fair comparison, let's compare a "bone-stock" AWD DSM to a "bone-stock" Crx, not a gutted Crx with a motor swap. Gutted with a motor swap=modded. I don't see any "bone-stock" Crx's running anything close to a 15.0 1/4.

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

i bet a crx sir would:)

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

mycrx just stole my idea >:( lol

what does a CRX SiR run stock?

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

lol. im guessing prob a high 14 or so with full interior. maybe low 14's on slicks, a friends b16a with y1 tranny ran a 13.7 on slicks gutted. but thats just my guess O0

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

in my talon fwd hell yeah its fast i also had a ton of money in it but the only race i ever lost was to a 89 5.0 that was supercharged and pushing close to 450whp and id say that talon or eclipse must have had something realy wrong with it to be beat buy your crx that bad

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

it was probably auto :-\

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

yea i think something must be wrong with that car LOL. i mean you are saying it is slow and all but it shouldn`t be THAT slow LOL

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

well he did say the guy had excuses of something wrong with the tranny and coolant. I agree the dsm shouldn't have gotten beat that bad. But im not suprised he beat a turbo 1 gen dsm though

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

I would say so since he said it was slipping.

So autos can't slip? News to me... and that was hardly a race, after the first time it was just a waste of gas.

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

he could have meant the clutch was slipping and said tranny :P

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

you should try to race a dsm that runs good. The sohc turbo hatch i built with my buddie walks gutted b16 and gsr crx's all the time, but my friends 1gen dsm only loses to our hatch by a car. He just has a safc and 16 pounds of boost

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

a b16 with the b16 tranny in a crx will haul ass...as much as a 'stock' crx can hual ass.

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

nice kill, that B sounds really good ;D i never thought dsm sucked that bad :-X

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

they dont suck that bad, that particular one was the exception :-X

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

I think maybe the CRX with a B16 you saw beating a turbo hatch was mine. I'll post the vid here in a second.

Anyway the DSM was a manual. It did run like ass. He said he got it into 3rd gear and it just wouldn't go anywhere which is a sign of a failing transmission. Any way you slice it he never beat me out of the hole, he never pulled past me, and the only time he put up a decent race was when I let him get the jump from a roll. Even then I started pulling him in real fast.

This guy is a real idiot...he spent all week gutting out his car for this race. Now he's all pissed because he says he couldn't shift right and his car was acting up. I think he's just pissed because he got beat by a honda. An all motor honda at that.

Just tonight he left me a message on my computer that if I didn't stop posting stuff online about how I beat him really bad and what not then he was going to come after me to whip my ass.

If you read this, bring your ass on over, sweetheart :-*

Re: DSM goes down hard (vid)
 

Huh? I was saying it was auto. WTF are you talking about? He said "it was probably auto" and I said "I would say so". Where did you come up with "autos can't slip"? ???

Yeah it was definately his tranny that fucked up...whether it didn't fully engage third or he just missed it - I don't know. Basically he said he got it in gear, floored it, and nothing happened.

:1 I'm just going to go sit in the corner, reading owns me!
