    What are some important things you should NEVER do when rebuilding your engine?

    #1 do not do while rebuilding engine: Smoke crack.#2: don’t use a roloc disk on the surface of the block. Use a plastic razor blade to remove the old gasket material.#3: don’t do meth either.

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    Wrote “trucks r slow” in the dust on it to piss off the toothless neighbors I have. Minorly succeeded.

    Altered Mental Status(1G AWD 5spd)

    Ordered a couple more random bits for this thing.But mostly just biding my time. I’m still going back and forth on what I’m gonna do with the shifter assembly, but in the new time I may just try to see if the little pin on the shifter arm will pop out easily. If it fights me at all, I’ll...

    Street Build ITFLYS - 1Gina2G

    If someone wanted mine bad enough I’d let it go. Shipping might be idiotic from FL to CA though.

    1,800+ mile Road Trip to the Pacific Coast in a 1G!

    Incredible. This brings back great memories. Bucket list item for sure with my wife. I remember road tripping in my 91 Auto GSX from Pensacola, FL to Asheville, NC and back(something like 500+ miles, including a bunch of steep mountain climbs) and got like 30mpg and had so much fun ripping up...

    Wanted 1g 90 Shifter assembly/base

    Hey guys, in need of a 90 DSM shifter assembly. I don't need a shift knob, don't need cables, just need the whole shifter assembly that's bolted together and ready to rock. It doesn't have to be in great shape, just needs to work.Hit me up with pictures of your shifter, and a no-bs price...

    You need a black and red painted Cyclone IM to go with your setup. :PBut, sucks you gotta do this. However that valve cover looks incredible.

    1G Car is smoking

    Tell it smoking is unhealthy, and there are numerous quitting options out there.All jokes aside if there is smoke coming off of the manifold after engine work, it’s normal. Just various oils and liquids burning off.

    IDK if I have some kind of ADHD or something, but I cannot do podcasts. 30 seconds in, and I'm checked out, doing other stuff.Wish we could get a traditional post instead. Sounds interesting.

    Solomon's 2GNT Build ('98 RS)

    Hondas in NW FL are idiotically priced. A POS dented knocking same gear civic would be $6k.If I score a passable 2Gnt for like $1500 that needed some engine work I’d jump all over it.

    Solomon's 2GNT Build ('98 RS)

    I don’t want it for performance, I want it for a slow but fun daily that has better gas mileage than 18mpg city. Lol.I have the DSM and the Edge for turbo performance.

    Solomon's 2GNT Build ('98 RS)

    You got me wanting one of these 2GNT's to play around with for a daily. If I could find one in decent shape that was M/T I'd buy it up.

    Altered Mental Status(1G AWD 5spd)

    I don't think 22-24 would hurt, all I could find is the service manual says 14 though. I was curious if I should red loctite those bolts too, but decided against it.If a wiseman has otherwise to say, lemme know. With the clutch still easily accessible I can fix it asap.

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    Did this. So stoked.Got it all torqued in and loctited(Crank bolts) and ready to rock. On my next day off I'll get the trans stabbed in, everything topped with fluids, and ready to rock 'n' roll, bleed the slave too.Do the interior electronics work like auto seatbelts and fan...

    Well, I was determined to get something done today because my thread chaser/tap kit came in, and honestly...I should've bought one of these years ago. WD-40 soaked for a couple days and a good chaser makes short work of old red loctite. Like it was never there. Bolts thread in and out like...

    If they're identical to the shift mitsu shift knobs in the picture but just blank, I'd be interested in one as well. Easy AF to get it laser etched locally or paint it myself.

    So what are you working on that’s NOT your DSM?

    That's some of the most painful shit in existence for men. As much as they are able to measure "pain" or the bodies reaction to it, they say that a smallish to moderate kidney stone for men is more painful than un-medicated childbirth for women.I do not envy you. Hope it stops soon.

    So what are you working on that’s NOT your DSM?

    In honor of Akira Toriyama passing a few days ago, I finally got around to moving my collection of DBZ from my old laptop to my new one. Seasons 1-9, remastered with either English dub or Japanese dub(no subtitles). Gonna watch the hell out of it tonight to pass the time, in between dishing...

    Altered Mental Status(1G AWD 5spd)

    It legit feels brand new. The PO said it was new, including the clutch kit which was OEM exedy. If you drag your fingernail down it, it feels like a brand new surface. Hard to describe but you know what I mean.I’m gonna run the hell out of it!

    Altered Mental Status(1G AWD 5spd)

    Yeah I read that. It's part of what influenced my decision. Lol. The local machine shops around me have a terrible track record with basic stuff, so honestly even if I gave them a how to they'd either just still outright refuse, or screw it up somehow.But man, the amount of people having...

    I should yeah. Now I just to research how. LolEdit: After research, I'm not gonna be able to do it myself. Have to get a machine shop to do it...but RRE is super skeptical of machine shops being able to do this, and honestly I don't know a single machine shop near me that'll do it. Gotta...

    Well, was determined to do some work on the Talon today. I got impatient and decided to try to remove the crank bolts with my current measly 350 ft/lbs impact, and to my surprise...it worked. It didn't even struggle, it tapped a couple times per bolt then just backed them right off. They had...

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    To answer my own question, soak the holes in brake clean and tape over them to prevent it evaporating. Wait like 10 mins ish, come back with a cleaning/chasing tap, and bam. Holes are perfect now. The brake clean actually softened the loctite and made it break down into the tap easier.

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    Finally got to touch the talon. I removed the arp bolts to replace them with the OEM ones.They came out without a struggle via my impact but had a ton of red loctite on them.Does anyone have a tip or trick you learned to clean cured red loctite from inside the bolt holes on the crank? I...

    Ordered a big boy 1/2” impact rated at like 1400 ft/lbs in anticipation of replacing the flywheel bolts(and some other projects I need it for) because my little 350 ft/lb’er isn’t gonna cut the mustard if they’re as tight as they should be.Legit hope this new beefy boi is enough for that...
