Lighest DSM?
 

I have about $1500 to work with here, and have found many local DSM's for really cheap and no engines/trannys, which I can get pretty cheap. What is the lightest DSM ever made? I've heard it was a 92ish Laser, but I'm not quite sure. I want to modify a lighter car, so I'm already a step ahead in the game. I found a laser in perfect condition with a locked up motor for $300, this is why I want to know. I can't pass up this deal, anyone that can help me, please do! ;D

light and DSM dont go together in hte same sentence ::)

but the first couple years of the FWD would be the lightest...

Re:Lighest DSM?
 

waht do they weigh

Re:Lighest DSM?
 

an AWD DSM weighs in the general area of 3200lbs if I'm not mistaken.

No wonder why there tranny's always take shits. Thats alot of weight to be hauling around.

Re:Lighest DSM?
 

yea the 1gs are the lightest at about 3250 or so... everything else is heavier ... 2g is around 3450 ish

Re:Lighest DSM?
 

jesus christ..thats almost as much as my friend 4 door intrepid :-\

Re:Lighest DSM?
 

Are they seriously that heavy? :o They must be a real big bitch on gas..

The local dealership has 3 DSM's in perfect condition for $300, and I mean perfect... I wish they did the same with Honda's >:(

Buy a 89-92 dodge colt,eagle summit,mitsubishi mirage.You can drop a 4g63t into them and they weigh very little.My 92 dodge colt with full interior and half tank of gas weighed 2160.You can find these cars for dirt cheap I picked up mine for $300.

Just import a Peugeot 205, weighs next to nothing; about 1900 lbs stock. Got my 1.4 8v down to 1675, without interior, with turbo setup.
