My talon is down but I'd gladly cruise with u guys in my lancer gts :)

Dude you rock!! I was looking for this exact information as well!!Maybe you'll also know where I can buy just a CAS harness, as I already have a greentop CAS but the plug seems to have disappeared.

its definitely a boost leak, had the exact same problem before. You'd be amazed at all the places the air can leak out. Test it and track it down and post where it was!

Haha that is correct, its not my dsm. Ryan, you have a PM!

Here are pictures of the damaged door

Hey guys, need some input on this... I just bought a car with a salvage title without realizing it until it was too late, yeah I got burned but thats not the point lol.. The car is 100% driveable and everything is 100% functional, it just has some body damage to the rear quarter panel and door...

So you're saying if the CAS went bad I wouldn't have spark either? I have spark, good spark so is it safe to rule out the CAS?I am leaning toward the injector resistor pack as the more I read the more it sounds like thats what is causing the problemI'll see if I can borrow a test light, I...

Alright guys, my frustration level is building and this problem is starting to stump me. I've searched and tried different things but I haven't figured out whats wrong yet, heres what happened...A few days ago I was leaving work, got in my car started it up and let it idle for about a minute...

me: I need so and so parts for a 95 eagle talon auto parts store guy: what car you say, amc eagle? me: 95 eagle talon auto parts store guy: my computer isn't showing a 95 eagle, who makes it? me: eagle is the make, talon is the model auto parts store guy: I don't have that listed, you sure its...

$1500 for my first 95 tsi, stock 7 bolt, act 2100 clutch, fidanza flywheel, intake and exhaust, blew the motor, now building a stroker off of a 2.4L base - about 123k on chassis but absolutely mint $2000 for other 95 tsi with a fully built 2.0L 6 bolt, act 2600, intake and exhaust and a few...

Finally got some pictures uploaded, Here are a few of my favorites...And here is a link to the rest: DSM shootout 09 pictures by greg_farabaugh - Photobucket

Lol you must have missed the guy falling out of the back of the huge white f-350 diesel.. the truck was doing a burnout and there were a few guys in the back and when it grabbed traction one guy tumbled out.. It was too funny, the guy was fine btw lol.

Yeah that announcer was terrible, it was annoying how everything ended up getting referenced to his small block chevy lol. I got there just after uncle kracker I think but I heard all of the jokes he made about it.. We ended up migrating to the party side too after the hotel workers kept coming...

I'm glad to hear the racer who flipped in the sandpit is ok, did they mention it at all over the loudspeakers?Who all stayed at the best western? It was a blast, I'd like to know who all we partied with haha.

I agree about the 2 separate events, it would have been much better if they were held on different dates.. I think I had more fun at night at the hotels than at the actual events. Both were fun, did anyone else stay at the Best Western?

I have an eBay intercooler and piping on one of my talons and I gotta say it came out pretty good. I had to completely remove my bumper support and cut a lot of the pipe to make it fit right but I took my time and am happy with the results. I thought I had some pictures of it on my computer...

I'll have to e-mail it to you, its too many characters to PM to you and I can't get it to post as plain text. If you want to PM me your email address I'll send it to you. Its just basically a webpage generated by excel when I import the csv file

Cutting the springs isn't as bad as heating them up but it still is going to throw the spring rates off. And as said earlier your stock shocks won't last, you'll need to replace them after 30k if you're lucky. This will also shorten the life of the rest of your suspension parts. Do it right...

The formatting on this page is driving me batty too, I'll have to find another way to post my logs so they are readable but don't screw the rest of the page up.I did a boost leak test a couple of days ago and found a pretty major one at my blow off valve and one at my BISS. If I pressurize...

Finally took some new logs with the new o2 sensor... It seems like the o2 sensor is giving similar readings compared to the old logs. I thought I fixed all of the boost leaks but maybe I haven't. Do these logs look about the same as the last set?

I paid about half that for a radiator I bought off a guy on here. If you have time to shop a bit for it then I would, but if you need one right away to get your car up and running that isn't a ridiculous price as long as its it good shape.

Alright, I just ordered a new sensor. I'll post another log when it gets here. Its the $50 denso sensor from oxygensensors.com, it seemed to be a favorite on here.

I did a boost leak test in the fall before the weather started getting cold and fixed all of the leaks that I found, with my luck another one has probably popped up somewhere since then though.They are stock injectors as far as I know, I haven't actually looked at them to verify it but if...

I haven't made any yet, as of right now they are 0 across the board. Going by what you said on a previous post it looks like i need to add about 5% airflow at idle, 10% at 1.5k, 5-10% at 2k and leave 2.5k and 3k alone. Correct me if this is wrong.

Yeah, I'm not sure whats going on with that - something with the code I used to format the log that the thread doesn't like. I would like to tune for cruising right now to maximize my gas mileage and once I really understand what I'm doing, tune for WOT. Should I log the car idling for a...

I'm sure they are the original sensors, I never replaced them and I'm pretty sure the previous owner never did either. I'll get a log of them idling and post it. I haven't done any corrections with the SAFC yet, I have the Ne points set to: 1000 1600 2000 2600 3200 3800 4000 4400 4800 5200...

Hey guys, looking for advice on a log. Its not the ideal 2.5k - redline 3rd gear pull but hopefully it still has some useful data in it. Its in 3rd gear from about 2.5k to about 4.5k. The roads are too wet right now to push it but I rarely push it past 4.5 - 5k anyway so hopefully this is a...

The other line that connects to your intake is for emissions. You can remove the EVAP system completely on 95-97's I believe without any ill effects or just plug the line that goes to the intake. If you live in an area requiring emissions testing you would probably be better off getting an...

Sounds like you have a BAD boost leak. Just because nothing is visibly wrong doesn't mean there is nothing wrong. Make a boost leak tester: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/15800-how-do-i-make-buy-use-troubleshoot-boost-leak-tester-merged.htmlPressurize the system to 20-25 psi...

Whats with the driver side door sticking out at the bottom but not the top? It looks rough, a good deal but maybe you can get him to buff it for you or something :P

I have the CX racing unit as well and their piping. I sold another one I had acquired to a *knowledgeable* buddy of mine and he was impressed by it too. They are pretty decent and cheap. Another option is the SSautochrome kit. I have heard nothing but good things about it. I have no...

Yes, its common. The ECU adds more fuel when the car is cold. It isn't as noticeable with a stock FP but if you have a higher flow FP esp. with a stock FPR then you really notice it. The ECU stays in closed loop operation until the coolant temp reaches normal temperature. Once this happens...

1 should be good but if you're car gets too hot while running the AC you might need the 2nd one. It only kicks on with the air conditioning.

I've had pacesetter products on 2 of my dsm's and I don't think they are that bad. They discolor very fast and look bad after a short period of time but as far as functionality I would say they're decent. I had to get one repaired because the tack weld that held the "pacesetter" tag to the...

The 1g is sexy, have him show receipts for the motor swap or assume it hasn't been done though. Even still its a good deal if its the original motor providing it runs perfectly. Personally I would go for the 1g but it may have issues, like every has said look over it real well. I've had 2...

Yeah your core support is pretty much shot, the rest of the car looks like it can be saved by the pics but if the front of the car is that bad I can imagine it only gets worse as you get towards the middle and rear. Personally I wouldn't make a big investment into the car but if it runs and...

Yeah its really hard to say, I guess the best thing to do would just be inspect all of your pulleys and belts etc. as mentioned and if you don't find anything then keep a close ear out for it and if it never comes back then not stress over it. Lifter tick can be sporadic, if it comes back...

I don't know if you'll be able to sell a completely rotted shell for a decent price, or even complete car. If I look at a car and it has excessive rust my offer goes WAY down. Maybe you'll get a buyer who won't look underneath but if its really that bad then just use it as a winter beater ;)

Yeah its common, all of the 2g handles SUCK. I have gone through 2 passenger handles and 1 driver handle in less than a year and the new ones I've replaced them with are already sticking.Heres a good article about how to fix the weak 2g door handle problem...

How did you make 225 hp with "no boost", and are you saying pull 2 AND 3 were at 8psi and you made 258 hp on both pulls or on pull 2 you were at between 3 and 8 psi and made 258 hp? That whole section doesn't make sense, especially the no boost part.As far as the ticking it could be lifters...

+1, I didn't know that either I just assumed they were all the same

171k on the stock engine seems kind of high. Granted it has new pistons and rings, the crank, bearings etc still have the original mileage on them so I would keep that in mind. Overall looks like a very clean car though. Not a bad price either.Alternators aren't hard to change, it would...

So your driver headlight was working when your friend said your passenger headlight was out? Do your parking lamps and tail lamps still work? Maybe both bulbs burned out at the same time. How did you check the fuses? Usually fuses blow right in the middle and its obvious but sometimes there...

You would know it if it didn't shut. Do a boost leak test and it will tell you if its leaking or not.

eBay bov's tend to kill turbos, they don't seem to be consistent all the time and as stated above are hit or miss. Any that I have seen either leak very easily or just don't open and cause compressor surge. A 1g bov will be more than sufficient for you right now. Assuming you have no fuel...

Here are a couple of progress pics i snapped with my phone. I don't have anything hi res on it yet but I'll get some when its closer to completion. I rolled on the paint with those foam rollers. I was going panel by panel but that was taking way too long so I started putting a coat on the...

Beppe, looks great, I kind of skimmed through the entire thread but this is just the roll on method with rustoleum correct? Have you buffed the paint yet? I'll have to post pics in here soon as well. I'm about 50% done with mine so far and its coming out really good. Great job on your car...

Google $50 paint job. There is a method where you roll on thinned out rustoleum enamel with a foam roller and it comes out pretty decent. There are quite a few before and after pics you'll find just by searching that. Brightside marine paint is also another popular choice for this method. I...
