Yeah that's in Canada. I'd head to your local U.A. union hall as suggested, or whichever one has the next job callout for pipelining. You'll almost certainly have to go out as a helper a few times, but many young welders do this to get into it. If you make the right friends and kiss enough of...

Read through this whole thread in a few days, lots of good info in here.Not much of a welder myself, though I've been around a lot of it. I do quality control for the automatic stuff, making sure everything is within parameters.Here's a $500,000 internal clamp and bead machine. 8 welding...

Talon was put away for a few years while I was busy with many other things, but it's back now! And 4 years later I'm actually doing this to my bumper...Last time I posted on these forums was many moons ago, and there used to be a 700x700 pixel picture limit. I looked in the rules and I don't...

I've seen it before, and thought I bookmarked it, but I guess not. Looking for a pic of the 2GB front bumper on a blue Talon that was modified to have a bigger opening. Was all fiberglassed to make it look OEM again, just a lot taller of a mouth on it. Looked great.Anybody know which thread...

Well I guess it's just gonna stay in there. I just tried putting conformal coating on the area around the plate, and suspended it in the tank so not much more than the plate was submersed. It's anodizing right now, hopefully it'll turn out alright.Then a lot of chemicals, compressed air...

Thanks, I'll try soaking it, but I don't know if it'll be able to penetrate at all..Was like this when I got it, can still be clocked though, when you remove the snap ring you can spin the cover and it'll re-seat on the o-ring wherever you want.This is quite frustrating.. Because the...

I can't get this plate off the back of my compressor cover:RTVed on there, I've tried getting under it on the edge to pry up but it's a no go, also tried from the inside with a rag around a screwdriver and the twist method, after getting it nice and hot with the heatgun, still no budge...

The stuff I used was called Loctite 3900 Conformal Coating. I just picked it up at the local electronics shop. It's just an acrylic aerosol and air cures for small production and prototype or rework stuff. For large operations they use 2 part coating or UV cure.I also replaced all of the...

Thanks. Glad to hear that coming from you. I'm also relieved that I won't have any fitment issues with the socket. :thumb:Now I can't wait to start getting my feet wet with the tuning. Is it possible to get on the Link forums while I'm waiting for it to arrive so I can start learning now...

I tried to add this to the tech article written by canucatchdis here:http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-tuning-ecu/266472-socketing-eprom-ecu.htmlBut I'm not able to, so I thought I'd post it up here, maybe it can be put there if it's deemed useful enough.Before you start desoldering...

So I've searched and read on the DSMlink website about changing the wires, but then also having to use the "invert CAS" option in the program.I've got an eprom ECU sitting here that was sold to me as "working" but I'd like to test it in my '97 to see if it works before I get to socketing it...

Ya I've done it before but it was so long ago.. I think I used a wooden drift and hit it right on the race, I think that's the only place you're supposed to hit it.

Oh my bad, in that case you just have to smack it off..

Loba I've never used a split boot before so that's definitely not what I'm talking about. You only use that option if you're trying a quick cheap repair with the axle still in the car.I really don't understand any of the confusion here though, unless I'm not getting exactly what you're...

There's nothing holding it together except for the boot. Just cut the CV boot clamps off, pull the old boot off, clean it all out really well, grease it up, throw on new boot, tighten clamps.
