Stock motor, but have lost about 350lbs from the rear wheel forward and about 30lbs from the rear wheels back due to the entire CF body. (fron bumper, hood, fenders, doors, mirrors, inner door panels, coil cover, rear bumper, trunk, and spoiler)

I can give you links to the companies for the cost, but I NEVER pay retail. Which im glad I didnt because it needs a lot of TLC due to the southwest sun and UV, no garage, and its my daily driver.


Im guessing I am somewhere in the area of $6k......

I NEVER run bald tires! Thats just freaking stupid!
$400 in tires is a lot easier to do then a whole new car after a wreck.

I thought the saying was "DSM stood for Don't Start Modifying" lol. Nice kill. If he was running that much boost then he must have a worn out engine. my old DSM was one of my favorite cars, and at 20lbs on E3-16G, mine was fast as balls. But there are too many jacked up DSM's out there now.

Btw, DSM stands for Diamond Star Motors. It was a joint auto venture taken on by chrystler and mitsubishi, in which they agreed to share the same engines and body's of their cars, and just changed the bumpers and wings and sold them under different names. Ex: eagle talon=mitshubishi eclipse=plymouth laser.

My rant ends here.....
