    Call to arms, 2Gb AWD Talon brethren!

    I'm still around. There are some pending updates to the registry that I've been too busy to address. Will get around to them soon.

    Knock Sensor ooze

    Wait....there's goo inside 4G63 knock sensors? Glad I have spares!

    2G Wonder if 3,843 day old gasoline is still good...

    Yea, I do love that my old Honda HS35 still starts on the first 2-3 pulls in below-freezing weather after sitting for a year. Maybe I won't risk breaking that winning streak for no reason :)This fuel evaporates like you would expect fresh fuel to do. I will draw a spoonful or two and see if it...

    2G What is missing from this picture

    Wow $100? What a super deal, man... nice one! I haven't read the whole thread yet... but has anyone mentioned checking it for signs of crankwalk?

    2G Wonder if 3,843 day old gasoline is still good...

    On June 21, 2009 my 4G63T blew up spectacularly, leaving rods and oil along the side of the road, and the car has been sitting on jackstands in the dark garage ever since. Last night I felt like messing with the car a little, so I pulled the rear seat and fuel senders, and siphoned out about 4...

    WTB My old '97 GST Spyder (Ontario)

    Good to see some good old fashioned NOSTALGIA! Not many of these cars left on the road or in serviceable condition any more. Keep em clean and nice, before they're all gone!I hope you find your old DSM!

    98 eagle talon for sale

    That was a pretty rare one. Here are the only possible VINs (last 5), out of every 2Gb AWD Talon made, which might belong to the car in this thread: Year Built VIN Option Trans Color Interior 1998 97.09.1 031775 L90 5-MT...

    98 eagle talon for sale

    Hey man, not sure if you know about my 2Gb AWD Talon Registry, but if you still have the VIN (or even just the last 6 digits) can you fill out this questionnaire about the car, its condition, factory configuration, etc? I'm trying to keep track of how many of these cars are left, roughly where...

    I voted Johnson. Trump's a putz, but I'd rather he be the "figurehead" than her. That's all I'll say about politics in this thread. Mass surveillance and data collection transcends politics tho so I'm always game for those topics, but those are also not really for this thread either - I'll...

    Facebook's negative impact on car culture and tech info

    I think what he's getting at is that Facebook DOES build data profiles for non-facebook members. They collect a lot of their own information on non-fb members (through the use of embedded "like" buttons on 3rd party websites, and whatnot) but they also PURCHASE information on non-fb members to...

    As a private party, I vow to never list/sell a DSM part anywhere other than a DSM forum. If I can't find a buyer for DSM and Evo parts on DSM forums, then I guess no DSMer wants em, so just I'll put em in a cardboard box on the curb and notify the Craigslist scrappers & metalwork artists.To...

    2G timing belt help please

    Yep, that is your best bet. And...you don't want the car to move while you're tightening the crank pulley bolt - be safe! If for some reason you can't do it with the car all 4 wheels on the ground, then in addition to being in gear, also have someone hold the brakes down and/or chock the...

    Awesome OP and thread! I just sold my Evo last week. During the process, myself and one of the interested parties were ranting about how the car forums and all the valuable knowledge they accumulate have scattered to the winds by social media.I've been DSMing since 2001, but I never signed up...

    Call to arms, 2Gb AWD Talon brethren!

    I've been watching that one. Problem: strut tower rust on the driver side, pretty big hole already :( The owner filled out the form to the best of their ability. Poor car, looks pretty good other than the terminal cancer. It could be fixed, but I don't know of a local shop (personally) that...

    Call to arms, 2Gb AWD Talon brethren!

    Nice! Always good to see another DSM here in Colorado. I located that car in 2015 down in New Mexico. At the time, it had 77k miles. What is it at now? I love the stock 2Gb Talon wheels.Would you care to fill out the form for this VIN#...

    1G Oil leak from valve cover bolts.

    Ahh, that sucks. I hadn't considered OEM part quality going down over time... guess that is what happens when your DSM sits on stands for a full decade! In that case, I say we all try to round up as many "vintage" PCV valves that we can (and send one to Mike in Brazil), because I bet most of...

    1G Oil leak from valve cover bolts.

    Clean that valve really well Mike... I believe you can fix it without having to replace it. Spray in some carb cleaner, cover the ends with your fingers, and shake it. Then, repeat soaking in carb cleaner and blowing out with compressed air a few times.Also, when you blow through it with...

    At least he sold the car before doing TOO much damage to it.

    1G Oil leak from valve cover bolts.

    General PSA: The PCV valve IS a METERED one-way check valve, and that's all it is. If it leaks air in more than one direction, clean the grit (a few grains can cause leaks!) out with carb cleaner and check it again, and if it still leaks then replace it with an OEM unit. I disagree that OEM...

    Thermal coatings: How well do they hold up over time?

    Thanks Kyle, that clears a few things up for me! Black 2000+* sounds fine with me. The manifold is gonna be hidden by a blanket and a heat shield, so as long as the coating is long-lasting, I'll be satisfied. I'll just stick with cerakote, which is almost certainly what is holding up fine on...

    RTMracing gone way down hill??

    Well, that is the typical occupation of nearly everyone under age 40 :boring:If I had to venture a guess, I'd say that Abbas had other people's money (Mommy and Daddy?) to play with, and thought owning a race shop would be a good social status upgrade on Faecesbook, but then realized running a...

    RTMracing gone way down hill??

    No pubes! I received Tokico shocks, and they are the right part#. The boxes are torn up pretty bad and they weren't enclosed in a larger box for shipping, so they definitely got jostled around plenty. However, they APPEAR to be intact.Abbas, if you're reading this: That money belongs to...

    RTMracing gone way down hill??

    Update: I do now have a tracking number via PayPal dispute. It'll be a miracle if it is actually the last set of 2G Tokico 5-ways this side of the Pacific and not pubes, but we shall see! If they aren't boxes of pubes and are the last set of Tokicos, then I hope the ample amount of money I...

    After 12 years i finally got another dsm and its a treat!

    OKAYYYYY, who drove their Talon faster than 88 miles per hour thus traveling to the future?Pure luck is the only way to acquire a gem like that these days. How could any DSMer not be jealous of your ultra-find?My Evo still only has 25k on it. Now, to refrain driving it for 14 years.

    RTMracing gone way down hill??

    Public Service Announcement:I got a call from Ziggy just now. Abbas is no longer in charge of RTM Racing. Anyone who placed an order recently needs to initiate a PayPal dispute and get a refund ASAP. I put in my dispute and escalated it to PayPal already. It is likely Abbas has already...

    RTMracing gone way down hill??

    Let me know if you hear back. He hasn't responded to my numerous emails or voicemails for 11 business days now, and he definitely didn't call me back on the 27th like he said he was going to. The "death in the family" excuse bought him 1 or 2 days but not 11.

    Where are the ones that make those 2G DSM spherical-bearing top hats? :D And brake brackets & rotors for half a dozen different brake upgrade paths.RTM had some pretty uncommon items, they were more than just a vendor.

    RTMracing gone way down hill??

    Abbas told me my delay is due to a death in the family. I wish I could say it is easy to believe that in this day and age, especially in this thread.My order (Aug 22) is for a set of Tokicos that he THINKS are physically in stock. He said he would let me know on Monday. It is Friday now...

    RTM Racing Order

    Ziggy is retired, he has nothing to do with RTM any more. A young guy named Abbas took over. As much as I hate to bother a retired man's well-deserved peace and quiet, I DID go ahead and start copying Ziggy on my emails to Abbas. I have talked to Abbas on the phone before, about a year ago...

    RTM Racing Order

    I'm also having trouble contacting Abbas. RTM Racing's voicemail box is currently full so that option is off the table. I placed an order for $750 worth of parts that may no longer be available from the distribution warehouse. I asked him to verify that the parts are actually available. 2...

    So you aligned all the timing marks on the block and head. And you said there was a timing/alignment mark on the distributor driven gear too? What is it supposed to match up to? Are you working out of a repair manual or just wingin' this one?Having never seen this engine myself, I am just...

    1G Removed dizzy and now i can't get the timing right? Please help

    I think they mean rotate the shaft, not the body,180 degrees... with it disengaged from the drive gear, and then to reinstall. The dizz-meister-9000 can be 180* out of phase due to the shaft position, i *THINK*.I'm lazy and don't feel like giving real answers so I'll ask questions instead...
