Work of art, take care of her!

 

Haha, I donno if you're serious or not. Really it's a curse as well as a blessing. I'm glad to have it, it's a fun car, after some work it's been a reliable daily driver, but just like any DSM, it's just the same ole money pit.

I missed these cars, this is DSM #10 for me and I think I'm finally finished buying them. I KNOW I'm done racing them.

 

thats james old car. he just had some **** replace before he took it to internet car lot for them to sell it for him. his name on here is like speedmodle or something like that. it was his daily but he got tired of fixing it all the time

 

Haha, sounds about right! 9 times out of 10 with these cars (old *** turbo DSMs), you gotta be 3 steps ahead of the car itself in order for it to be reliable. They are not a cheap car to daily drive by any means. After the repaint, I'm probably going to rip through the rear end of the car, replace all four rear wheel bearings, both seals, check for play anywhere in the drivetrain, repair the driveshaft carriers, swap out the tranny fluid for a redline mix, and put a damn oil catch can on the thing.

Hopefully that will hold it for awhile, I'll probably be under the car every week or two to make sure everything is tight and in line for the first couple months and I'll slowly back off and let it be itself and see how it goes.

 

man that paint is lookin' good!

 

i was serious... and youre right about it being a curse as well as a blessing.. LOL
