Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

what ever you want to buy... ::)

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

Get a civic hatch. AWD only looks cool off the line.

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

I'd say DSM. I think Honduhs are just gay.

























J/K :P
But still go with the DSM

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

Good thing I scrolled down before I flamed your ass. ;)

I think my choice is obvious. Civic hatchbacks own all, period. 8)

whatever you do just at least keep it asian. Try out some dsms and if AWD is for you then go that route... not all dsms are awd tho.

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

Ill will keep it asian hahaha yeah anyway tsi and gsx are my only 2 choice if i go dsm but i still go to this site everyday even if i go dsm yeah the hatch are nice for drag set up but i need power window and ---- . I don't want to roll up the window by hand power when i roll with my girl hahaha

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

rode in travis/boostoholic friend turbo dsm makes me wanna sell out and get a dsm, pretty freakin fast for "stock"

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

whatever you prefer man...but quality honda. and i was about to flame your ass too until i scrolled down

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

buy on my team has a awd talon tsi. the interior is FAR nicer than my integra LS. and any other non leather honda ive ever seen

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

hondas are much more reliable. dsms require alot of upkeep, or at least every that i know who has them. however, u can make a stock awd very fast for very cheap. its all up 2 u, its your car

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

HMM EVERYONE TELLING ME TO GO DSM BUT ARE THEY RELIABLE LIKE THE TRANNY AND ---- ?

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

honda

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

i know of two people presonally that drive DSM's to work everyday...everyday meaning that they havent had problems YET...im sure both with scatter there trannies, one with shear HP, the other one stupidity...

DONT buy a Prelude/Accord...unless of couse your a ricer then go ahead...

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

If its a low mileage stock vehicle then it is pretty damn reliable, its a factory car. And it japanese, they have plenty of reliability, Get the Dsm and launch at 6k all day at every light otherwise dont sell out

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

Two Words, CRANK WALK, that will cost you a bit.....

and yes the trannys suck ass

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

---- it, try a dsm.....

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

I am planning on buying an older dsm when I get my crx "finished." What i've heard is that it's easy to make a dsm fast, but expensive to keep it that way. ie fixing parts all the time and trannies do break if you launch like a madman. I would say get yourself an old civic hatch for like $1000 and then buy a dsm, that way you have an old reliable honda to fall back on, plus you could turbo it and still be pretty reliable. imo

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

Personally owning both(ive had the triplets,laser,talon,and 2 eclipses)i say dsm for speed and honda for reliability.Even tho my turbo crx is the fastest car ive had my eclipse auto surprised me.15.3@93 with 10lbs,k&n,fee mods,and a downpipe.

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

Depends on the individual, I would bypass the peer pressure and stick with Honda ;D

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

dsm if you want speed lol yeah it true dsm can go fast for pretty cheap and of course ill do it HMT style lolz anymore advice would be great ! thank

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

you know my friend has a 99 eclispe and he now want to get rid of the bitch. every few months there something wrong with the car. He has lesser miles than i do and his car acts like its has a hundred miles more than mine. And dsm arent as fast as people make them out to be when you drive them of the lot. You have to still do work in order to make them pretty fast like you would a honda. Not as much work but still work.

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

i have a lot of love for honda's but fwd sucks balls. go awd or rwd. try a rwd nissan. or a datsun 510. i love old school ----.

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

WTF are you talking about? Is every accord/lude owner a ricer?


Anyway if you get an eclipse go early years, 1g/2g im not huge on any of them after that

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

awnser is YES...but its the only choise they have there cars will never be fast :P


crankwalk is only on "7-bolt" motors...93 and up...

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

i used to have a 2g talon, and im thinking of picking up a cheap 1g soon. for the money, they are good, fast cars, but they do have problems :P

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

when i see a accord/prelude,and it's got some "stuff done to it" i automaticly think, RICER!

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

dont some people say that same thing about civic though??

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

The only thing I have to say is that the mispelling in the title is driving me absolutely crazy. Someone change that ----.

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

DSM. FWD is a bad platform for performance.

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

Agreed I love my civic but you have to love those old school 510 or even a 240sx.
My next car will be RWD, they are much more fun on the autocross track.

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

rwd and awd are alot more fun. But remember dsm arent the only awd cars out there

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

yeah but subarus are gay, But I would love to have a toyota All-trac :o 8)

Re:Stay with honda or go DSM ???
 

oh sorry for the misspelling but anyway dsm is not reliable as honda but my honda got 146k on it and sum ---- go wrong with it every month i take good care of the motor just the little stuff that bother me i was gonna turbo it i got all the stuff and ready to turbo but im scare im blow it up and ill be stuck broke so ill just sell it with the kit or something and i agree FWD is not alots of fun like the rwd or awd i was going to buy an mr2 turbo but i live in mass so the snow going to kill me so awd is the way to go ...

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

I would rather get the MR2 turbo instead of the DSM ;D

Re:Stay with honda or go DSM ???
 

dont think an awd is necessarily good in the snow. once it breaks loose, you just slide totally outta control. granted it might be a little better, but not worth justifying getting an awd car to drive in the snow, unless you go crazy with snow tires

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

i say if you want a fast car for little cash.. and dont mind dealing with some problems every once in a while... go dsm.... mid 13's for a few hundred bucks is no joke.. especially with the 1.7 60 foot of the awd.... stay away from the FWD cars though unless you like buying tires really often.. cause all the do is lose traction

oh and get a 1G :) 6 bolt is mo' betta'

Re:Staty with honda or go DSM ???
 

I just scrolled down and posted so I might be double posting. Anyways I looked into buying a dsm so I did alot of home work on them. Turns out they do have tranny problems, and the 2nd Gens are very well known for Crank Walk. There was a bunch of other stupid problems with them also but I can't remember what they all were. And from what most people on DSM.org and dsmtuners.com say a stock 2gen will only run mid to high 15's some low 16's depending on the driver. But for about $5-6000 you could be running in the 12's ::) So I say go honda and boost it up, you'll spend less and in the long run probably have a faster car.
