DSMxTSi replied to the thread Back in Black.The tie rod isn't perfect either, but the wheel bearing is shot. Once I get moved to FL I'll be redoing the entire suspension.-
DSMxTSi replied to the thread Back in Black.I got under the Talon today and found a heat shield between the cat and driveshaft that was touching. Figured it could be the whining issue so I removed it and took her for a quick spin. That solved the loud whine but now there was another lesser...

Hard to tell in that picture. Tabs look about the same as all the others. Just oil/grease the hinges a crap ton to make life easier on the little tabs.

DSMxTSi replied to the thread Back in Black.Here's a couple pics of the door handle. Don't know of you can tell much but let me know. I did score a set of billet handles so I'll have them soon and will likely just hang on to these.

DSMxTSi replied to the thread Back in Black.Well I've taken the car on two short trips, maybe 10 miles total. I have a driveline whine when cruising under constant throttle. Tap the gas or let off and the noise disappears. The t-case was rebuilt and a new u-joint was put on the front of...

Very awesome.

DSMxTSi replied to the thread Back in Black.I didn't actively search for Dorman but wish I had. The ones I got coming are BOXI. Maybe they come from the same place? I'll post pics when they arrive, maybe you can tell.

Try to get the Dorman HELP! brand if you can. The regular Amazon/eBay ones have tabs made out of aluminum foil. The HELP! Brand really remind me of OEM and have a nice thick tab.

DSMxTSi replied to the thread Back in Black.I looked on Amazon, ebay and Rockauto and didn't find Dorman. I already ordered the pair off Amazon so I'll check em out when they arrive. Hopefully they're good enough to last till the billet ones are available, which Tony said at the end of the...

I just saw you're moving to Florida. Kind of a bummer as you're not too far from me and Marty. Gives me hope for my 97 I've let sit for 3 years now.

DSMxTSi replied to the thread Back in Black.My car is welcoming me back into the DSM world. On the same day I got a new license plate and insurance the drivers door handle decided to break. 😆 I wasn't expecting that one to break as it felt solid, whereas the passenger side feels weak and...

DSMxTSi replied to the thread Back in Black.I hope you get it up and running soon. Not too many DSMs on the road anymore.I've been to OKC several times over the past few years but always a quick business trip along with meeting a good friend for dinner before I head back. It's a 3.5 hour...

Could also consider @v8s_are_slow as he is relatively near you. Not sure if he still does tuning but he’s a guru with it.

I have owned this car for almost two decades and driven it maybe 10-15k miles. Not getting any younger. The thrill of making a pull in a property tuned and maintained DSM is better than any drug. Man do I need a hit. I am breaking in my new motor...

DSMxTSi replied to the thread Back in Black.Definitely! It's been years since I've felt boost and even longer since I've truly launched a DSM. Did a lot of street and track racing back in the 90s and early 2000s with past DSMs. This one was my only car from 2009-2013 so I took it easy, and...

Nice video and the car sounds good

DSMxTSi replied to the thread Back in Black.Yeah Pensacola is a bit far. I'm hoping the DSM scene in Orlando is alive and well.Damn that sucks. I hope to put my ECM Link in later this year along with bigger pump, injectors and fpr, then get tuned with Kevin Jewer. I've talked to him...

Like.What up, tuners! Over the past month or 2 ago , flatout suspension was introduced to this forum. I personally have never ever heard of this particular company and my natural reaction would be to proceed with caution. After about 5 ish weeks of... -
Too bad you’re not moving closer to Pensacola. It’d be nice having another one here. Congrats on getting it running. Nothing like having a car be down for years and finally hearing it run again.
-
DSMxTSi replied to the thread Back in Black.How long was yours down for? Mine was almost 9 years cause I didn't have much money or time back then plus other obligations so I waited till I could do it right. It sucked but I am glad that I waited.
