CRed05 Posted November 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 I dont know why people are comparing 3s' with dsm's. Only thing ive noticed that are simular are the shiftknobs on 2g dsm's and the domelight in 1g dsm's, the MAS on 2g dsm's, and door handles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fooked Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 I've always like the 3s, but they are just too heavy. I acutally looked at a couple before getting my DSM. I've seen video's of quick ones. Too bad after a few 12 second runs, and a couple of 5k launches you are probably going to be walking back down the track picking up pieces of your drivetrain. smile.gif BTW - Nice FMIC! smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big turbos are the size of your fists......LMAO dude go read a book. Your car does look nice, im not knocking that, i am knocking the fact you think those turbos are big....Infact those are some of the smallest factory turbos i have seen.

Ive seen stock twin turbos run 12 flat with bpu parts. heavy yes but that means your ass is going ot stay on the ground. needless to say Ive rode in many dsm's and around 130 they get the shakes. 3s at 140 I could fall asleep. Driveline what the hell are you talking about? 3's has one of the strongest drive lines in the mitsu family. and what are you compairing it too? a Disposable Speed Machine? If I had a dollar for every person that had tranny problems with a dsm compaired to a 3s and 3stt i would be a very rich man.

CRed05 Posted November 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 i have seen critters tail lights before, and he has also seen mine. And the turbos probably are the smallest turbos on any car...and stock for stock, still kicks everyones ass (when i say everyone, i mean most turbo cars) "Big turbos are the size of your fist" -- I hope you have BIG hands, if not ill sell you a set of BIG fist size turbos. (did 240s even come with turbos?)I consider big turbos the size of your open hand. And size doesnt even matter, the size and flow of the compressor wheel is what matters Hey brian...now that i have my boost figured out, and that i wont blow anymore pipes, bring your piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrblunt Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 When did this become such a pissing match? Keep you fucking slanderous comments out our website to yourself. Last time i checked there are more DSM's running consistent 11 and low 12 sec passes in this area than vr4's. Never once did i try to discredit the dudes work or say his car wouldn't be fast. I only agreed w/ a statement regarding the expense of modding the vehicle. You can praise the 3s as much as you want but your starting out w/ a very heavy platform and if your intent is to be very fast you have that obstacle always starring you in the face. You'll need a few extra psi than the next guy that weighs 500-800 lbs less. Again the ic looks nice and good luck w/ your setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know what I've been doing wrong! I have a feeling you are relatively new to this game. Am I right?dude you must have some Washington apple sized toes (yikes *freak*) if you say they are as big as your toes.

I dont want it to be rediculously fast. 11's are enough for me(so i say now) And thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your car it has some respectable things about it. I dont know where these dumbasses come from with thier high horses. All cars have their flaws. With a 3s they love to spin main bearings. It just proves that they need to do alittle more research before making dumn remarks. Ive been there worked on plenty of DSM's and 3s's. Working on both cars isnt glamerious. But I think that all the people with the negative comments started saying shit thats when this thread go ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrblunt Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Its no big deal, the gay nutswinging comment just got me a little on edge. I'm pretty sure that critter posted vr4's are gay as a friendly rib at Chris, i'd assume they know each other. Hell most high powered cars are fn money pits when you try to make them fast. I'd love to have a 300zx tt but i dont think my wallet could take it. Hell my wallet can barely keep this pos 2g afloat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rane Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Why do all the "3s" owners always bring up 240's. Someone must feel pretty upset that 4banger turbo's have just as much potential and style in any type of racing as there factory TT cars. If price mattered we all would have bought 1st gen eclipses/talons because there hella fast. Instead we opt for cars that don't look like crap :-p.

I'm obviously speaking of the compressor wheel not the td04 housing... which my 16g uses too. I used to have a 13g, which is an UPGRADE to your 9b and that was the dinkyest thing I have ever seen. Originally posted by stealthmonkey: Then realize when the last time did you go 12's with out pieces falling out of your transmission. and or your car burning to the ground?I dont know I havent run 12s in a while. My last 3 outting consisted of exclusively 11 second runs, after which I drove my home back to columbus.

CRed05 Posted November 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 yea, 14b's are even smaller and are upgrades for our cars too...we run 11's on those....whats your point?

CRed05 Posted November 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 ok sorry...3S' run 11's with those and yes i have 2 of them, people were pretty much saying "3s' suck bc they have small turbos" and then "oh but they have 2 so they dont need big ones" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealthmonkey Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 hey you know what is small as well. a tin cup with wheels that mitsu labed a dsm. btw i am guessing that you have never drove a TT. dont say and lie you have and they arent that great. everyone who has driven a 3s TT has been overwelming impressed. so go back to your columbusdsm board and high jack some threads there and let this thread get responded to.
