boy your not joking I have had the displeaser of working on a few that would have been great car's if it wasnt for the owner messing them up.....but those are the break's as they say when you work at a shop, you dont have much say so in the thing's in the car you can only make sudgestion's to the owner's but all in all DSM's arnt realy that bad like any other car you just have to learn the quraks and common breking point's....
Im just glad mitsu is FINALY starting to do the recall's from all these year's....but I dont realy see them recalling the 7bolt unfortunatly and it's a sham the 4g63 is realy a great engine and many well built ponint's just a few cheap copout's such as the 2nd gen cam angle sen. the 1sy gen's worked fine I dont under stand why in the hell they would change them out to those cheap plasic POS it's realy obviuse that they WILL get heat soak and break eventuly but that's just one of the reason's Im not building DSM right now if i do Im kinda thinking about a 97 mirrage LS and judt doing the 1.8 turbo build...it's not an every day build and not to involved as long as you arnt trying to break the 350ish point
but more to the point with honda's, honda kept with a good and well thought out idea and stuck with it, and you cant argue with that LOL but there are the few problems with honda's as well such as the small valve's....it's kinda hard to let an engine breath with a valve the size a tooth pick but major advatages are the swapablity rate of the diffrent part from block to block but anyway Im gonna stop typing at this point Im home sick and feel like crap so Im getting tired
