Updated 04-23-2011 at 09:15 AM by tenn-gsx

Quick update with the seat pics. Took some of the bottom for you guys who like to build your own brackets. The Corbeau brackets look pretty low profile. Ill post more pics once the seats are in the car. These seats are courtesy of my wife. What a great gift huh! I just mentioned that I wanted/needed some safer seats and she offered to help! So I owe the first piece of safety equipment on the...

Posted 03-31-2011 at 10:43 PM by gho5tone (95 Eagle Talon Awd project restoration)

Ok, today I finally had time to go check out my eagle after a month or so. After poking around and remove most of the wire crimps, I come across a hack up ignition wire by the key hole. Who in the right mind would crimp it in the middle of wire. Seriously! Now I have to go figure out what gauge wire (AWG) for it and clean it up.

I know I said there will be pictures. I will definitely...

Tags dsm, talon, tsi

in my last post, I think I mentioned something how the engine surprised me with needing machine work. One would think that by now I would've learned that nothing gets by "easy" with this car.

Still love it, though.

Anyways, the machine shop told me that I should see the engine mid-April. It is being bored over .020, line honed, maganfluxed, balanced, cleaned,...

Hey guys, I haven't updated the log in a while. But I have gotten a lot of work on both cars done. The floors have all gotten painted, and I have started work on the engine and the accessory wire harnesses. I labeled the harnesses thanks to snowborder714's write-up. Now I'm deciding what I will keep and where I will be re-routing stuff. The goal (obviously) is to get rid of anything that I don't need...

I know it has been a while since the last post so I suppose it is time for an update. For the most part it has been a lot of small "here and there" type work. The car is about 98% complete, well assembled anyway all the body work and paint still needs to be done. All the intercooler tubing welding was done by me except for the one flange for the BOV. My welding isn’t the best but I think...

Also started doing some powder coating between picking up parts. Here's a few pics of the turbo and valve cover. I ended up selling the valve cover as it was only a test piece for me.

Magnus Dogbox Transmission, Staging Brake

Posted 03-14-2011 at 08:47 AM by secongendsm (Project "What was I thinking?")

In February, I came across a Magnus dogbox for sale on a message board I frequent. I tried holding out as long as I could, but temptation won. Videos like this from my local track don't help (Casey was running a PTE 6262 and a Shep Dogbox!) The Magnus dogbox is now at my house waiting to be installed.

Rear end and suspension

Posted 03-14-2011 at 02:12 AM by DSM98GSX (Ronin--10 second Daily Driver Build)

While I was under the car taking out the drive shaft I had seen that a chunk of rubber was hanging out of one of my rear end mounts. So after the engine was pulled, I dropped the rear sub-frame. I ended up purchasing rear sub-frame mounts that were an aluminum/poly mix. Also ended up buying the prothane full suspension kit (by far the most time consuming part of the build).

The RAVEN: An 8s street car journey continues! (PT.5) *Wire tuck/Harness mod guide!**

Posted 03-03-2011 at 09:39 PM by TSimage

Ask and yee shall receive!

To do a recap on where we last left off I had begun the tedious task of pulling the wiring harness to ready myself for stripping down the harness and getting it race/ tuck ready. This process will include removing a MAJORITY, yes, more sh*t is removed than kept, of the unneeded bull crap from the harness. Relocating it to a more hidden location ad above all...

Simple project? Maybe?

Posted 02-27-2011 at 08:11 PM by gho5tone (95 Eagle Talon Awd project restoration)
Tags electrical

So I picked up a 1995 Eagle Talon awd in green from a fellow dsmer. So I thought to myself, if this guy is a dsmer than this project shouldn't be too bad.

WRONG, from what I thought was a simple project of fixing up the ECU wire cuts became more than that. The entire radio wiring is cut up, none of the speakers are set up, many cheapo style of cutting up wires using a spade connect...

Get me back to boost! Build Part 2

Posted 02-21-2011 at 09:27 PM by atruepretense (Make her pretty, then on to 11s.)

So, a little update on the status of the DSM. I already have most of the stuff removed on the engine. All that is left is to unbolt the trans, and motor mounts, and cross member. Once that's done the engine is coming up.

My girlfriend's bro is a big DSM fan also, and has helped me out a great deal by selling me a 7 Bolt bottom end that is in great condition. Pistons, rods, crank, everything....

Hello everyone, so I'm a starting a slight build. This build will not happen over a week, or even month, but over a few months. I want to give a little background about my car.

My love is a 1995 Eagle Talon TSi AWD. This puppy came with all the options except for leather seats, which I put in anyway. It has the extremely awesome LSD differential option. I bought the car almost a year...

Hey guys, long time in the making I'm finally posting this up on a blog.

This blog will be about my ongoing DD project. I have a 95 GSX that I bought 4 years ago. 2 blocks later instead of doing a patch fix to get it back up and running I decided to finally do a full build up on it. This was my first car, but since buying it it's had crazy wiring issues, and defective odds and ends....

Inside Magnus Motorsports

Posted 02-15-2011 at 12:01 PM by GreenGSX

This past weekend Steve and I trailered up his Evo X to Magnus Motorsports so Marco could begin the process of transforming it into a One Lap road racer. We had a great time and learned a lot about the inner workings of Magnus Motorsports, the people, and Marco himself. We took lots of pictures and set in motion a build plan that is going to be pretty epic.

She lives again! SD + Jackal works

Posted 02-06-2011 at 12:12 PM by AlphaVision (DSM Cocktail project)

So after exactly 1 year I heard the voice of my baby again! Oh, I've missed it.

The past 3 weeks I was busy fixing small stuff like wires, hoses, clamps, leaks...well getting her ready for the first ignition.

Today was pretty adventurous. A dead battery, leaking turbo water feed pipe, cracked oil cooler, unplugged ECU connector and stuff like that just made it more dramatic....
