hey all.

Just joined the site.

Ive got an old 1980 EX lancer with a 4g63 conversion and the "d50" box in it and lots of other goodies.

Great to find another site with info i can read.
Is there anyone else on here who has an EX lancer at all?

cheers

What exactly is a DSM?
Technically, a DSM is a car built by Diamond Star Motors, a joint venture between Mitsubishi and Chrysler. More details about DSM are <a href='http://www.dsm.org/info/glossary.htm#dsm' target='_blank'>here</a>.

For the purposes of the Talon Digest, the definition of a DSM has been extended somewhat; <a href='http://members.shaw.ca/costall/1000Q/an ... tisa1G2G3G' target='_blank'>see below</a> for details.

[Note: From time to time, debates on the definition of a 'DSM' emerge on the Digest. These debates usually center around a record-breaking car which, because it does or does not have a certain component or feature, 'should' or 'should not' be considered a 'DSM' in the 'true' sense of the word.

Such judgements are entirely subjective and cannot be resolved, except by arbitrary rules; resist the temptation to reopen any such debate on the Talon Digest, as the moderator (and membership) are tired of hearing about it. All race results that can reasonably be deemed related to DSMs are reported - whoever is king in your own mind is best kept to yourself.]

In further news, the now-merged DaimlerChrysler corporation purchased a 34% stake in the now-ailing Mitsubishi Motors corporation in April, 2000. This is not to be taken as a re-emergence of DSM, however - the DSM marque is now consigned to the pages of history.

Yeah my RWD lancer is great.800kg all up.Has a good power to weight ratio.Holds a pretty good drift too.

I would like it to be abit faster tho, but i guess raising the hp isnt gonna make much difference as i cant keep traction anway
