    brake/ clutch fluid

    kudos to you if you try it but isnt it pointless if both masters are still there? all you would be eliminating is the clutch reservoir which isnt that big not something that grabs my eye and says "must remove" but to each his own and good luck to you on making it work.

    1G 1G AWD flywheel cover plates top and bottom

    it actually goes behind the flywheel so youll definitely have to pull the tranny to do it and remove the flywheel too. there are two bolts behind it I believedsm graveyard stocks both new for the 6 bolts for like thirty bucks for both

    already bought a full three inch exhaust buddy I was just sayin what I saw on the one I took off the car. It would need to be a 3 inch now anyways.

    PR 3in Downpipe Fitment issues?

    I wonder if the srs units are mostly made for use on a stock system meaning they would be made short to use the included reducer/increaser pipe to the stock cat. Think about it....If you bought a cat delete system it would be the same length as the stock downpipe with the cat installed. The...

    should have seen my flexpipe guts!!!!!

    No my guess a cheap autoparts store. I just hate the fact that you could spend alot of time misdiagnosing a problem when crap like this happens Problem is with me my car would idle high and drop down really slowly til warm now it still fires up high stays there maybe 2 or 3 seconds and idles...

    PR 3in Downpipe Fitment issues?

    Just do an ebay search for megan racing test pipe 50 bucks plus 30 shipping for me. DO you still have the factory exhaust on it though? If so a muffler shop may be your best option because it would be a 3" test pipe necking down to factory size pipe. test pipes are same in as out so you...

    where can I get 2g turbo to manifold bolts at?

    I thought I bought some 9.8 ones from ace hardware before arent they 10x1.0 or were they 10x1.25? I think the biggest problem would be the conical washers pretty sure they dont sell those but I reused mine never leaked.......

    should have seen my flexpipe guts!!!!!

    okay I wish I had takin a picture but I didnt......I did find out what happens is when you get one of those cheapy auto parts store ones which i'm guessing that one was the intake side of the flexpipe will eventually come apart at the crimp and the exhaust gases force the inside flex material to...

    should have seen my flexpipe guts!!!!!

    no when i bought the car it had a rigged up flexpipe on it. Someone had takin a flexpipe that looked to be to big and try to close it up by over tightening it :nono: . so i welded it up and a couple other spots ahead of the cat only to find the muffler seam was toast along with a coupe other...

    should have seen my flexpipe guts!!!!!

    Has anyone ever seen the inside of a flexpipe collapse? I just replaced my exhaust on my 1ga talon and I cut everything up to make it easier to handle to scrap it (btw factory cats here bring in 45 bucks!!!!) and when i cut it open next to the flexpipe (side closest to cat. converter the...

    fixing the toe angle

    camber will kill the inside of a tire. most too much toe in will scrub the tread of the tire away. too much negative camber and toe in combined will show belts within 500 miles. most road race cars have negative camber for handling and compensate with toe out. so they wont kill the tires as...

    1G 1G ACT Clutch will not disengage, tried everything!

    I know youve been all over the place with your clutch issues and I hope the twin disk setup you mentioned works for you. It just seems to me that too many people have issues with upgraded single disk setups that are designed to hold with more power made by the engine. I just almost want to...

    more clutch disengagement issues

    did you open the hydraulics when installing the new clutch? ie opened the line by either opening the bleeder or loosening the banjo bolt the hard line attaches to on the slave cylinder? sounds like you either have air in the lines or the master cylinder p.r. ;) is adjusted out too far blocking...

    fixing the toe angle

    thats not toe in there buddy you need to adjust the camber.........toe in is just that (think pigeon toed) i.e. turned inward. you have too much negative camber (top of tire leaning in) sounds like you need some adjustable camber bolts. these will replace your bolts that join your strut...

    Boost high, drivers foot well HOT!

    Hallman aluminum mbc's stock boost pressures are when the boost controller knob is turned all the way out. It takes a few turns to build the psi with the lighter spring(lower boost pressures) installed seemed like the heavier spring (higher boost pressures) didnt take as many to get it where I...

    recovering front seat or alternatives

    Well guys I'm getting ready to wrap up my Talon build and i'm curious as to routes you guys have taken here. I really like the feel of the factory seats (light gray leather) but they are trashed (i think anyways) Are there any companies out there that sell replacement covers (I would even do...

    clutch questions

    sounds like your not done bleeding yet..........your clutch that is did you bench bleed the master first? as for the squeak check all pivot points under the dash as you push the clutch with your hand i'd check those first. shouldn't be too hard to pinpoint that problem good luck!

    Carbonfiber roof?

    I was pretty much feeling the same way....lol I get the idea of supercars using it for bodies and monocoques but highly doubt they cover up a steel or flexible plastic bumper with it not impressed here. go all the way I feel make a mold of the part you want and have one made in carbon...
