Funny how a username and password can stick in the back of your mind for 19 years...

That's a clean looking Eagle

ok ok , i know what you all are thinking. I NEED m3 mirrors for my 91 tsi. With the custom work being done i need to have turn signals to pass inspection and these mirrors will do it. I am looking for a set of the m3's for a 1g but cant find them anywhere. i have searched the other forums...

Might as well check out the Ball Joints and Tie Rod Ends while you have a good view with everything open.

There may not be any leaking but if it is dented enough it may cause a little more restriction on the oil pick-up. Mine had been dented a small amount and once I pulled it I found scuff marks that matched where the screen of the pick-up tube had been in contact.

Very nice, I am saving up for a gixxer 600 come summer time.

They kind of look like cartoon wheels but I am still learning. Haha

This is my first photoshop but give me some time and maybe I will get you something better

I take it sales are going well. Congrats on the business! I'll keep trying to spread the word :thumb:

While you are in there doing pads and rotors, clean and grease the guide pins in the calipers and flush out ALL of that old brake fluid too. You could also throw on a set of speed bleeders to make things really easy.

I did tear the hell out of my knuckles under the dash, lol. Like I said I think I got lucky.

Hmm, Mine only took about 25 minutes to swap out. Guess I got lucky. It would suck to just replace the slave and spend your time bleeding the system and then having to go back again in a month to do the Master and re-bleed the system again. Just go ahead and take care of the whole hydraulic...

Dear God, Mine should be running like a top then ROFL

Why would you take your Jag out in that anyways, lol

Wow! Looks like you have been busy, haha. I enjoy reading threads like this because I am still in the planning process to make my 1G into an aggressive SM set-up. Being able to read other members first hand experience is pretty valuable and it helps me catch the little things I would normally...

Look for a 2G elbow, they are slightly larger then the stock 1G.

I would say do the Master Cylinder as well. If the Slave went bad the Master is probably not far behind. Check out all of your hoses for wear.

theturbotrader.com sells kits for the Holsets. It should have everything you need...http://www.theturbotrader.com/product_info.php?cPath=67_38&products_id=51 http://www.theturbotrader.com/product_info.php?cPath=67_38&products_id=50...

I use Kumho ASX's for DD and I do not have a single complaint. Great reviews and awesome tread wear. I would definitely go with an All-Season tire though, they will last you longer and will still get traction in the snow.

Did you bed them in the rotors? It could be they are just new and not set in yet.

Congrats on the win :thumb: Great write-up, it makes me even more eager to get back out there.

Which Hawk pads did you put on the car? HPS pads are tolerable but the HP+ pads will chew through rotors and are a bit noisy when cold.

I too have the kit LAN- is selling. I am just waiting for a little warmer weather to install. Great quality and it shipped out pretty quick. I can't wait to finish the car up.

There is a member selling 1G short route kits on here. I received mine last week and I was impressed with the kit. Let me know if you want some info on them.

http://www.jayracing.com/products.htmThe second and third product down. I have no experience with these kits but I did run across them the other day. Hope it helps you out.

It was about the same. I want to say 160-170 shipped but I know it is a Megan racing DP and not a knock off.

I was reading here about people using a splitter. I do not know much in the way of track events beyond auto-x but I hope to change that in the near future. At what speed would a splitter become effective. I don't think it has much ,if any, effect at auto-x in a car as heavy as mine and I am...

Well I used them driving on the street every great once in a while and they would squeal a bit until I laid into them but on course, I have never had them fade or make any noises that I am aware of. I usually drag my brakes a bit going from grid to the start line to get a little bit of heat in...

I was impressed by the Miata when I saw what 102hp could do in auto-x. I had the same idea and used metal bar stock to make a battery tie down. I used a long bolt for the side closest to the motor and used the strut bolt for the other side. Worked like a charm and no movement at all. And for...

You can remove the rear and leave the front shaft in but you might as well pull them both while you are in there. It is a tight fit and a PITA with the motor in the car but you can remove both but no matter what you do, don't just cut the belt.

I wish I had a budget to be able to travel around, haha. We have two very local auto-x clubs here and a third not too far away. I could pull 2 events per month and stay in state but it is hard when you co-drive someones car :(. All the more reason to work on the Talon :thumb:

Haha, as my friend told me a couple of years back at my first event..."Just think of this as drag racing rehab." I have been hooked ever since :D

They are discontinued but what few remain can be had from a dealer. If they are nice enough they will tell you exactly where they are too.

It may be a bit extreme and I am not sure what type of racing you do but with the second cover pictured you could modify the side vents into brake cooling ducts and at least put them to some kind of use.

Well I am not much into the road race portion of it all yet but I stick to auto-x. To be honest it was not until I began reading all of the latest information and somewhat bio of Greg Collier that I made my decision to turn the Talon into a nice SM setup. I have run a few events in the Talon...

Haha, I hear ya. I have had my DP back section for about 4 years now and no rust to speak of.

If you want the Megan, go through someone besides Ebay. I went with SBR and got it cheaper than on Ebay.

Try Autozone, NAPA, Advanced Auto Parts. Any local parts store should have them.

Haha, seriously think about this... "try out this new pill because we don't know exactly what it will do to a human body"Also think of how you never really hear any feedback on any of the test they administer. If something bad should happen, they are not going to let it get out to the...

I was working on one with a friend that would bolt to the back of the seat bracket and fold out with the seat still in the car. My turbo blew so I kind of scrapped the idea for the time being. If we ever get around to finishing up with it I will be sure to post it as a write-up or something.

The MBC is supposed to have a bleeder hole.

Check out this thread. http://dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=241321Mine came in this morning and I am very impressed for the price. $485 for everything. Worth a consideration.

The Megan DP's are awesome. They bolt right up, no clearance issues, and great quality. If you don't care about it being shiny under the car, buy a DP for about $130, a high flow cat if you want one, and take the car to a local exhaust shop for the cat back. I paid $125 for a cat back and was...

Megan pipes do not replace the cat. I have the 1G AWD 3" DP and it does not neck down at the end like the one listed. Maybe that is just the 2G FWD thing, I am not sure.

The air box would be a good seller I think. I don't know of any place to pick one up. I have wanted to make one for a while now but just never got around to getting the materials.My FMIC showed up this morning and wow! Great quality for the price, amazing. I hope to get it mounted up...

I hear you on keeping your name clean. It is good to see you stop to think about that. You could do upper and lower IC pipes for people who want to keep a stock side mount too. Throttle body elbows, j-pipes... It could take a while to make sure you have a good design but keep at it and I am...

x2 The Megan DP is a nice quality piece and will bolt right on with no clearance issues to worry about. The Megan does NOT replace the cat BTW.

If you are looking for ideas with piping, why not a manifold or O2 housings?

Those links don't look too bad or overpriced for a catback. I paid 120 for a 3in cat back + universal muffler out of ugly pipe for mine and spent another 120 on a Megan 3in DP. To me a 3in pipe is a 3in pipe as long as the welds are good.

I drive my DSM in the winter.....ohh wait, you said nice car.Glad to see no one got hurt. I don't know exactly what happened as I was not there and neither was anyone else but yourself. The way you told the story COULD make people think you were trying to speed around the car in front of...
