    2g easy brake upgrade using cobalt ss turbo brembo monoblock calipers

    Interesting mod, not sure if it's worth the effort for a little increase in clamping force. The increase in the diameter of the Evo rotors accounts for the serious increase in braking force one several accounts, one is the increased torque of the larger diameter rotor, second is the better heat...

    Memorial Day Tribute

    SSG Keith Rudd was also a flight medic from C Co 3-82nd AVN REGT who I was privileged enough to serve with while at Bagram Airfield for a short period of time prior to me moving to FOB Shank. Keith was a medic who had been there and done that, a whole closet full of t-shirts. He would never...

    SGT Eric Williams was a flight medic who I had the honor and privilege of serving with while in C Co 3-82nd AVN REGT "DUSTOFF!" Eric was a flight medic who had the ability to make humor in even the darkest hour and kept many of us going when we didn't feel we had any fight left in us. Eric...

    Memorial Day Tribute

    SGT Dwight Burn was a CH-47F Chinook Crew member who I had the distinction of being deployed with during the 2011-2012 OEF rotation from Ft Bragg to Afghanistan. He was killed in a helicopter crash during a training exercise preparing to return to Afghanistan this year.

    Crank hard to turn with just 3 pistons installed

    I've always lubed the cylinder walls as well as oil the rings down thoroughly and never required much effort at all to turn over even a newly honed block with brand new rings. Not saying it's not possible just saying it didn't take anything more than my bare hands on every 4 cyl engine I've...

    My new Ride GVR-4

    Your car looks great and I definitely voted it a 10, mainly because I just got a GVR4 myself. Only one thing bothers me. The valve cover and lack of a heat shield on the exhaust manifold. The valve cover is from an Eclipse or Talon and the lack of an exhaust heat shield will allow the boost...

    This is SSG Robert "Brian" Cowdrey, he's a good friend of mine and we lost him on this deployment this year. He leaves behind a wife and 3 boys, the oldest of which has followed in his footsteps and chosen to serve in the U.S. Army (as a Blackhawk helicopter repairer.) I've flown with SSG...

    1G: New OEM decals for our cars?

    Try it again, it works fine for me.Thanks! I really like the OEM appearance on the 1GaYes, the spoiler had some very minor superficial damage and needed new mount hardware so they painted it and got the hardware I sent them installed.It was still at the paint shop then but yet it...

    Engine vs. Motor

    But common usage of the words says that an engine is anything that converts heat energy into motion, a motor is something that generates motion without the changing of matter (such as an electric motor).Josh
  22. jmelocik

    Engine vs. Motor

    Actually the word engine is synonymous with motor. Both are loosely defined as anything that converts energy into useful mechanical motion. I could go into great detail but I would bore myself!!! LOLJosh

    cars with body kits that look good!!

    Good, clean, OEM lines with an OEM style paint job. I find the original design to be very appealing and that is why I got my 1G repainted to look exactly like OEM.Josh

    Need to find the member I bought my 90 talon from last year!!!

    aren't most of the aftermarket head gaskets made with an 87mm bore anyhow? So .020 wouldn't matter, now the amount you have taken off of the new head might matter so you need to make sure the machine shop can tell you how much was removed. Depending on if that head was ever cut before could...

    Justin, any thoughts or information available on the turbo I mentioned in my last post? Is it worth trying to use in an automotive application on a DSM? thanks for your insight.Josh

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    Agreed, you can get a funnel and adapter for properly bleeding the cooling system if this hasn't been done already. Not trying to insult the OPs intelligence but it is often overlooked having the heat on full and fan on while trying to purge the air out of the cooling system.Josh
  35. jmelocik

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    when you bled the cooling system did you have the heat on full, fan on and used the overfilled funnel technique? When you said it comes back down and the heat comes on intermittently it sounds like you still have air in the cooling system.Josh

    Evo 8-10 Brembo Calipers DSM Conversion (for 1g too)

    You need to bed the brakes in to help eliminate the low speed brake squeal. When I first installed Hawk HPS pads on my Evo I had this issue. I re-read the bedding in instructions on the side of the Hawk pads box and performed as instructed and haven't had a problem since. This only works if...

    1G: New OEM decals for our cars?

    Just to follow up on this I ended up getting my Talon repainted to look like OEM but instead of using stickers had the shop make a custom mask and paint them on! It looks killer! It cost an additional 8 hours of labor but I think it's well worth it. Peeling all the little dots out after...

    car dosent like to take gas???

    maybe the tank vent system is clogged and you fixed the new "vent" by repairing that hose? now the pressure builds up to fast in the tank and kicks the pump off. I bet if you pulled the fuel nozzle out until it was just barely in, it would fill up just fine. I had the same problem after...

    2G Spyder Paintjob color Suggestions

    Evo Electric Blue or Graphite Grey. Just my 2 cents though. BTW why spend $200 now and then more later for a quality body repair place to just have to strip it all back down and do it right? If you just want some color on there you would be better off spending $50 in rim paint and doing it...

    Putting an auto motor into a 5 speed

    You are correct, they are internally balanced, the flywheel is also balanced and designed from the factory to be installed in a given position to aid in harmonic dampening. I will find you the reference that I am pulling this from and post it for everyone. If the dowel is just to secure the...

    Putting an auto motor into a 5 speed

    The motors are also balanced with the flywheel which is why the dowel pin is there on the manual cars, to ensure it gets installed in the same orientation every time. This may not cause any noticeable or appreciable wear on the engine, but who knows, it might. As others have said before...

    Drag/Standing mile project

    Kiggly beehive springs? Would the lighter weight of the Evo rockers, retainer, help any? I know those are very aggressive cams so you have probably already considered even more exotic options. That is an incredible ET considering you lifted. I look forward to seeing this thing go full tilt...
