I tried to read through most of the Brembo swap threads to gather all of the info up and feel like the only swaps so far have involved running matching sets. Either an Evo 8/9 caliper with 12.6" rotor or an Evo X caliper with 13.1" rotor combo.I have a freshly powdercoated set of 9 calipers...
So I just wanted to give the community a heads up on a messed up situation I am dealing with involving PayPal which I assume most of us use for parts sales. I was contacted about a classified add by KENDRICK COLLIER of GAINESVILLE, GA last month and negotiated the sale of some parts. He paid via...
So I picked up a new GSX shell two weeks ago and have found some interesting goodies during initial tear down. I am trying hard to decide whether to keep this one, or build my 2ga TSi instead and figuring out just how crazy the previous owner was may help in that decision. Can anyone who has...
I recently pulled a running 7 bolt turbo motor and lots of stock equipment from my 95 AWD shell in order to install my 6 bolt and fun go-fast parts. Before tearing it apart to sell separately I thought I'd give all the locals a chance to come grab it cheap if they are in need or want to make...
I completed a 6 bolt swap about 3k ago and used a Fidanza aluminum flywheel and ACT 2100 for the drivetrain. The clutch has always engaged right off the floor, but I was told this is normal. No amount of adjustment on the back side of the pedal has affected the engagement, but the car seemed to...
I just completed my 6 bolt swap on a 95 tsi using a 91 block and kept my 95 head. The engine is in. All hoses and electrical connections are hooked up. New battery. The damn thing will not start. We cranked the engine for about 15 seconds twice to prime the oil with the fuel pump and plugs...
Is there any difference in the 1G NT and turbo blocks besides the lack of oil squirters and different pistons? I have to do a 6 bolt swap on my 95 TSi that is crankwalking and noticed that the nt and turbo blocks are priced quite a bit different. If I could get a good enough deal on a NT block...
I already know this topic has been beaten to death and I have read many posts regarding crankwalk both before and after I bought my 95 Talon TSi. Unfortunately, the majority of the posters asking about crankwalk are met with responses telling them that crankwalk is over rated or to gain more...
I was out cruising around in my 95 Talon TSi last night with some guys and one of them with a first gen GSX wanted to look under the hood, so I popped it for him. After looking at the engine for a minute, he gave me kind of a confused look and informed me that my cam angle sensor was missing. He...
Hey, guys, I've been looking at these cars for about 2 years now and was finally able to purchase one, a 1995 Talon TSi AWD, last Monday. I got it from a guy that had just gotten it rebuilt, and the engine has about 1000 miles since that rebuild. I don't exactly know what killed the engine...
