1g DSM is by far the easiest to work on from all year DSMs and Evo I to X, plain and simple.
I own them all, 1g DSM, Evo 7, and Evo X... Once you have an Evo X you wont really care about street driving your 1g anymore
My Evo X is making over 400whp on the stock turbo. It's my daily driver Evo, the 7 is the time attack/circuit car, and the DSM the drag car. I own shop plates and can drive any car on the street in a heartbeat.
With all of the above, you'll find me driving my 2016 blacked out Dodge Ram 1500 sport most of the time
