Maintenance and/or performance...???

[vlaar]

I didn't think it would be this hard to decide on what I want to do with my car this Christmas when I go home. I've got a '90 Talon TSi FWD that I want to work with. I'm 99% sure that the crank pulley has never been changed so this is one thing that I plan on doing. Here are some other things I want to do (can't do them all) soon: replace o2 sensor (mine is fine, but it's never been changed, shouldn't it be dead by now ), add powerslots with hawk brake pads/motul fluid or add just the pads and replace rubber brake lines with stainless steel ones, replace ISC motor (mine is going out), put in a B&M tranny LSD insert. I'll have about 300 dollars to spend. Any input? Thanks guys. Other suggestions? Info on the car below.

All hoses/gaskets/timing belt/plugs/wires are basically new. As well as front halfshafts, etc.

Your setup and road to progression is very similar to mine. I too must put some attention to maintenance. Replacing the O2 sensor is a good start especially if you feel you are running overly rich. Of course an EGT would be a great source to see if you're running rich if not check for excess carbon on the exhaust pipe. Another good maintenance idea would be replacing the fuel filter, K&N makes a great filter for our vehicles that removes much of the restrictions caused by the factory paper filter. Good Luck.

Just an idea..the 3k gt n/t big brake setup works great if you can luck up on finding it..Just a way to save some money for other goodies ,but the cross drilled or the slotted looks really good.
