#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.
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...
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...
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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!
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...
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.
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...
Bolt kits came from JNZTuning today.💀💀💀💀 ROFLI forgot I put in the shipping notes for a vulgar name and @DSSA delivered. So funny.Now just waiting for the bajillion other things I ordered to come in.
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...
Do you mean the latch mechanism in the door, or the actual striker on the door frame? Neither of mine will go back from the forward position and I’m trying to figure out why. The passenger side WAS in the locked position but when I opened the door it beeped and moved forward which is where it’s...
Finally back home. I f*cking despise central and south Florida. Legitimately never doing that drive ever again. Once people cross the Florida border they suddenly turn absolutely water-headed when it comes to driving. It was also f*cking bike week. Lol. God damn I hate motorcycle operators...
Evo swap it. Save your pennies and just do the whole monty.AWD swapping a 3G is as straightforward as AWD swapping a 2G DSM. I won't say "easy" but it's straightforward.The Evo block and engine setup bolts right in, as does the transmission and mounts. No fabrication there. The Evo...
I asked about this years ago, just simply asking why people do exactly what you said and I got absolutely drug through the mud by a certain bastard on FB.So hearing someone way smarter than me with a much faster dsm than I’ll ever have makes me feel so vindicated. Lol.
Package secured, repeat, package is secured.This thing looks great and the cables look like brand new. That’s awesome. Came with a good transfer case and cables/shifter base too.Gonna degrease it and paint it so it looks new. So excited man.Also: I’ve been thinking…why aren’t us DSM...
It's a nice gesture, but China and India completely negate your good intentions sadly.As far as what I did to the DSM, I caressed it and told it that I'm sorry for blowing the transmission, but that I was going to South Florida today to get it a new one. Currently in Palm Coast, gonna pick...
Believe it or not, I'm almost always actually the "nice guy". My partner, no matter who I work with that day, is almost always the bad guy.I actually enjoy the job and do it because I want to help. So even if you really....really piss me off, I'm not gonna be a total dick unless you...
Changed the engine oil/filter, cleaned the K&N air filter, and also drained/filled the PTU(aka electronically controlled transfer case) with some new, fresh fluid in the Edge. It's all ready for a nice trip to central Florida and back to get my spare transmissions. :)Was stoked to see the...
How do you guys even come up with this stuff. That's amazing.Also, I'll repeat my comment from Youtube, and put it here.I love the Cylon "sweep". I'd kill for a set for my Talon.
I'm a very old curmudgeon when it comes to vidya games, and honestly...it's amazing. It's from a small-time developer, and their focus was simply make as good of a game as possible.It blows anything released in the past like 15 years out of the water. So much fun.
Dude that owns it now, is named Peter Aiura, he has his own youtube channel but hasn't updated it in awhile.The dude alex from LSC went insane and paranoid, filed a restraining order against Peter and tried to keep all his cars(his as in legally registered to Peter), then made some youtube...
I was about to say, Steve out here kneecappin' people. A new Defiant emerges?Also: f*ck the developed world. Give me inches, feet, and miles per hour or give me DEATH.
