btw..i have no clue what DSM is..but assume its a tunable engine management system...and would be similiar to HONDATA..:oops:
DSM mean Diamond Star Motors. DSMs are the 1g (90-93/94?) Eagle Talons and Mitsu Eclipses were made in the same factory, and the two companies joined in the project. I think in 1994 or 95, the companies split, but some people still call 2g Talons (95-98) and 2g & 3g Eclipses (95+) DSMs.
I'll be asking about tuning when I talk to the owner in person.
Re: My other passion....other than reptiles...
My dad has an Eagle Talon (I think it may be a year or two older than that one..) It looks more pointy, etc. It has been a great car for him, but he said something to the effect that it's hard to fix/change parts b/c the components under the hood are very closely packed in there.. we had a Ford Probe that we had a similar problem with.. but if this isn't an issue, or if that model is setup differently, who cares!
Personally I am a Nissan girl myself.. :) But I am not trying to start a foreign vs. domestic car/truck arguement, to everyone their own!
