Ok, so I dont know if anyone does this or has done this but I get tired of searching for issues and find the problem I am having to have the answer to that problem not answered.So problem I was having was this. For the past two years I have owned my TSi I've had this idle issue that would...
Sorry, no pics at the moment. THe wires im talking about are the ones from a 1g plug,spliced into the 2g middle wires. The red one and the black/ blue one(off the 2g connector), connected to the two 1g yellow and thin white wires( red to yellow, and black/blue to white).Theres a thread on...
Ok, im not a noob to the dsm world but am to the alternators. I bought what i thought was a 2g alternator,which I triple asked the guy if it was a 1g,and he said yes it was. Well i read that people put 1g alternators in their 2g cars. But is the same way reversable?I put the 2g in my 1g and...
To the Op, did you figure out the 2g alternator into the 1g? I just did this but tonight was the first night i drove and when i got back to my exes my cars battery was dead. Therfor the alternator wasnt charging. I hooked it up just like they say when you put the 1g into a 2g. Im so confused...
Just thought mitsustyle was a parts link. And im not jumping to conclusions. Its like this, If i try to put it in gear while coasting it changes the noise.
Hey,Ha,yea I just got done reading a few threads about it. Just seems to be more work for something thats weaker. I mean,Im not pushing all that much more then stock, but its just the simple fact that I want to upgrade a few things in the future for more power.So bertrenolds, woah on the...
I have considered a wheel bearing, but with a bad wheel bearing the wheels would have some movement right? And bert, I have mondays,and tuesdays off. all the other days I work down in hastings, If I cant figure it out by then I wouldn't mind another dsmer to help with my dsm, i'm just on 13 and...
Yea no noise when accelerating,or idle, only when coasting or letting off. Im trying to get a hold of this guy to see what trannys they were from. Hopefully theyll be from a 1g.Ill keep this updated!
Yea, after i replied to your reply i noticed your in savage. Yea it is a fwd, And with 230,000 miles on the body,knowing that the motor only has 35,000, i would assume that the tranny is about to go at anytime. I am sure the previous owners beat the crap out of it, considering it came with two...
Thanks for the reply, I did that last week, it sounded like the rotors and the dust shield, so I grabbed a wire brush and brushed away all the rust and road particles. Bent the shields out far enough to where they wont rub. Had a decent pile of rust n stuff from each side. They felt a lot better...
Ok I know its been a while since I said I was going to get a video up, Didn't know how to do it on here so here's a link to the youtube . unknown 91 talon tsi fwd sound - YouTube
Ok so to theturbopric..lol. The brakes seem fine. I mean I havent changed them out, been limited on cash since the damn clutch went out. But when i have one side jacked up and spin the tire it does have just a little resistance.I am not ruling out the brakes quite yet, since it did happen after...
Ok, so i been having this problem for over a month now, posted a few different threads, One issue was my clutch fork, replaced that and still the same thing.THE ISSUE- I was on the freeway and got onto the off ramp, stopped at a light and took off. upon slowing down at another light i hear...
hey trav83, Ive looked at the threads im not a damn noob. So next time you post something why dont you just go on craigslist and post up how many you see there instead of trying to out me on the "search before you post"for these threads!!!! There is a reason why i posted up another thread, For...
So im just wondering exactly what it says in the header. Why is it that each day im seeing fewer and fewer talons for sale and on the road. 26 on the minneapolis craigslist. So Im just wondering how many talons people see on the road or on craigslist? I thought they basically made the same...
Ok i dont think this is bumping or not, But, I got the tranny fluid in it yesterday (which too longer than taking the tranny out) started it up and took it down the parking lot, i let off the gas and i still have the slight grinding. speed variable as well, but doesn't do it under like 10mph...
I cleaned up my tranny, too much time to actually finish up polishing it. Replaced my throwout bearing and clutch fork, installed tranny. Hopefully its fixed now:hellyeah:
Welcome to the site man, And yes the only site you will ever need to learn about anything dealing with DSM's. Sounds like you got a solid ride,What kind of mods do you speak of? Or is it a secret:hmm: Anyway, Welcome to the dsm world man!
Welcome to the dsm world man. Sorry to hear your getting rid of your subaru. Love the sound of those damn things. Anyway, You will find out that these cars are just as fun if not a blast to work on. Like a puzzle. Anyway,sounds like you know Your stuff so, good luck with the restore and keep the...
Ok as always ive looked through the threads. I have an issue i need to figure out quick. How the hell do i get the pivot ball off?? It looks good and all, no wear, but. I want it off. Ive tried pb blaster, pounding on the ratchet with a mallet, used heat but i stopped thinking it might not be...
Whats up dsmgirl, Now i get to actually see the 1g in a bigger pic. VERY nice. I do like the color alot. Keep the dsm heritage alive. And about time you decide to start up in the site:)
:applause: :applause: All i got to say about this thread Is that it is a great idea. I will be on board soon. In my own little dsm down time. But to those who have helped already and didn't even think about helping out More people need to be like you! I do however usually go to junk yards for...
I bought a honda to mow my lawn,and whip my grass. But id use a honda to whipe my ass.And also, Hondas all sound the same except for this one a came across yesterday. I don't think he had a muffler so it sounded fast!For so many years the top 10 cars stolen have more the one honda in...
That's a pretty nice setup I guess. I mean that must weigh at least 100lbs? It doesn't take much to make great sound come out of our cars. And plus would you have your hatch cover out? i would think bass would create movement in it. But that's just me. I'm more of a keep-the-thieves-guessing...
You mean the pulley itself is moving side to side, or i mean up and down? Take off the belt and try to wiggle the pulley up and down or front to back, Either way if its moving,its probably bad. Any movement other the the rotational movement is bad. It shouldnt be hard to switch out. good luck!
Lol all true fellas all true, I am sure it was professionally rebuilt up at archer racing in duluth mn, Reputable person that seems to mostly work on vipers..? Anyway, Cant complain to much about the car, 230,000 miles some things do get worn or break.Still waiting to get my parts from...
Ahh but all i wanted the car for was the rebuilt motor,which it has all receipts with that, everything else is my own little puzzle.Plus Im finding out how to do stuff myself so i know its right. Like the tranny,after getting all the stuff disconnected it was a breeze to take out. Im trying to...
Ah, its been awhile since I posted about this car. a few issues since last year. Well first things first. Its not a tdo4, Its the normal 14b. Finally got around to looking at it because i have the tranny out. But it has no free play what so ever so im happy about that.Had to put a new...
straight coolant...no no no. That is probably your issue. 50/50 is about what i would use. Same thing happen to my 96 talon, redid the headgasket, and still had issues with going past the middle line, Took it in and my brother noticed that it was to much coolant and not enough water, Properly...
Well welcome to the forums man. The thing i would do is just get a smaller shifter knob. I know in my 1g it had a big shifter that was just big, I switched it out for an Ractive one off ebay. Or you can just order a short shifter kit somewhere. good luck!
Its sounding like a few things, First yes it is normal for the one to spin while the other doesnt, ones for the ac and ones to cool stuff down. For the over heating issue, double check the thermostat to make sure its in right (which im pretty sure its Hard to do that) if that looks good the make...
Ok i know not to bump threads and my first post may look like a novel.Anyway, I dropped my tranny due to an annoying sound while moving. I noticed before hand that the clutch fork moved up and down, well a circle movement too.First thing i check out was the t.o.b., Looks good,clips still...
Now i've searched as I always do. Anyway, new clutch and tob done by a "mechanic" 1200 miles ago, I should of seen the red flag when I picked it up because I didn't get any actual parts list or anything, So I don't know which clutch they put in. Here's the thing, coming off the freeway last...
Well, I think I found a decent one. I called around to a few places and wanted an arm and a leg, 1000 bucks,like 800 for labor and 200 for the part. So i called this place called a 1, or auto 1,something like that. He quoted me 500. I took it there and got it back yesterday. Got to get the info...
Oh I can see why:thumb: Ive done alot myself and saved thousands. I just have a small garage and not enough time to do this clutch, If it is the clutch. I know a few dsm wise men are from the minnesota area, just need the direction for a trustworthy mechanic.
Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew anyone around burnsville, twin cities area that knows about dsm's. I might be needing a clutch install done soon. Thanks!!
I understand that. But ive never had to bleed brakes before. Ive done brakes numerous times but Ive always put on clamps on the pistons.worked just fine. Part should be here tomorro.Going out today when it cools down to pull the master.Thanks again fellas for the info.:thumb*UPDATE 1*So, I...
Ok so im assuming i should get stressed out too much about this until i correctly install the master cylinder and get it bleed correctly. I just want to drive my car and not my exes( 05 eclipse). Ok i guess i will be posting about this tuesday after i do what needs to be done. Its just weird...
Ok, before you guys say search, Im going on so many hours on searching. Long story short, I was at the drive thru and listening to my car as i always do. I had it in neutral, and let off the clutch and heard a slight little grind, pushed my clutch in sound went away. I did this atleast 4 times...
did you get it off? I just re did mine yesterday, all i used is the prong side of a hammer to pull it out,while tapping on the other side. Hope you got it done tho!
Timing belt,If you have a balance shaft, should get that belt with the kit, Idle pulleys,or tensioner pulleys,there should be 3, and the auto tensioner. If you go online and look for a timing belt kit it should have everything in there for ya! 2 belts(timing,bs) 3 pulleys,and one auto...
And YOUR JUST POSTING TO BUILD UP YOUR POST COUNT:notgood:. Why do people like you seem that im reviving threads...?Simply trying to figure out which set some go for.
Yes it is, And if you find a right deal, you can get em with free shipping. I just got a set of the gr2's// But not to thread jack,just a question, are the rear shocks out of box supposed to be able to push down by hand?? the fronts appear to be ziptied. sorta confused. * edit, Nevermind, im a...
Its 3.44,3.54,3.64. thats 87,89,91 octane, And same for e-85.not seeing it too much.And with the gas prices and such, i was wondering.. do the 1gs have the siphon block int the gas tank? You know to where an assmunch that needs gas way more then i do decides to rip some off from it?Ahh...
Lol, you guys are silly. Basic tune up procedures guys, if you took auto in school you should know by now. Our motors have the easiest plugs to check, just look over the wires,any cracks?get new ones, Pull the plugs,which takes what, 30 seconds a piece, look over them, if they look good check...
The hell with the way it looks man!!! LOL. DSMers know what could become out of these cars. but its always a good idea to let us see the before pics:) Welcome to the site/family.!:rocks:
I would first, look over the motor, wires, oil leaks. could be a simple plug issue. Also, ask if he has done a timing belt on it. When i first got my tsi,it was sputtering and cutting out at around 4500, changed the plugs and no sputtering.As for the boost gauge, I know alot of people say...
First,Cyclonekid. I love the cheap booth setup!!!! i wanted to do that but im in an apartment complex and people are nosey. :thumb:But yes,eSCAPEist_ If you want to make it look right, the motor and all under the hood needs to come out. Unless you want to look like most honduhs i see around...
