    Need a picture of a 1Gb Talon rear body panel w/o taillights and bumper cover

    I believe I have all the parts to tackle a rear end conversion from a 1Ga eclipse to a 1Gb talon, including the bumper support bracket off a talon, but before launching I would really like to find out any other difference between the two setups.All I need is a good resolution picture of the...

    1G 1Gb Talon Foglights, How To Remove Them From The Metal Bracket

    Looking for info on how to remove the actual fog light housing (the cat eye ones from a 92-94 Talon that is) from its metal bracket. I would like to freshen up the brackets which will include de-rusting and repainting, so the housing has to come off, and I would like to avoid destroying them in...

    1G 1G FWD w/ Big Brakes upgrade, what Proportioning Valve?

    I just brought my 1g fwd back to life (and on her wheels) and gave her a new set of dual piston brakes from a 3kgt. I wasn't going to update the proportioning (or proportional) valve but it seems to be leaking and since the correct part for the car is no longer available I was wondering if it...

    1G 6 bolt balance shaft belt tensioner

    I did my timing belt maybe 10 years ago and never gave this a thought, but this time after installing the front balance shaft belt tensioner back on I realized that I did not mark how the old one was installed so went to the TSB for reference. And here it gets weird. The TSB shows pictures of...

    Head just resurfaced, is this good enough ?

    Yesterday I picked up my head back from the machine shop. I don't believe that I specifically required the head to be milled when I dropped it there, I can't remember. Anyway, I was in a hurry and did not inspect it with the machinist right there, which was in hindsight a bad idea since it was...

    Head gasket is OK, yet still burning coolant.

    Car has been sitting for the most of 4 years.At first it was the alternator, then once I fixed that, it was smoking badly once warmed up. I noticed at the time that the coolant seemed getting lower and lower but the smoke was bluish and the turbo did have shaft play so I had it rebuilt...

    Is this front case reusable with a balance shaft?

    I recently purchased a 6 bolt front case, since I would like to retain the front (and rear) balance shaft, I was wondering if the condition of the front journal pictured below is allows for it to be reused with a balance shaft installed.<img...

    1G 90 CAS in a 91+ car

    I am considering installing a '90 CAS on my '91 GST, mainly for aesthetics (no more sticking up ugly connector) but also because how brittle the CAS connector usually becomes after several hot-cold cycles of the engine.Signals are the same, no problem there, and once replaced the different...

    Valve Spring Service Limit

    In the last few years I accumulated 4 used heads in mainly unknown condition, 2 2Gs turbo and 2 1Gs n/t, that I proceeded and took apart. Having some time in my hands and not feeling like finishing the car in the garage due to the cold, I decided to check my inventory of spare valvetrain in...

    3kgt vr4 spindle vs 1g spindle

    I could not find any info on this issue but I believe reading somewhere that the two have a different spline count. Can anybody confirm or deny this as a fact? I have been entertaining the idea of swapping a set 3KGT VR4 knucles on a 1g in order to gain the 4 pots brake setup and bolted hub...

    Resolved 1991-1994 CAS Harness Connector

    The 1g (91-94) cas harness connector is a little bit of a PIA to locate in a junkyard to begin with, but most of the ones I came across were so brittle with heat cycling that they broke as soon as I touched them. Is anybody aware of a replacement for this type of connector or a shop that sells...

    How to tell if a head can still be resurfaced?

    is there a way to check how much material has been removed from a head during resurfacing? I read somewhere in here that the oil inlet galley in a 4g63 head is also an inspection port used to determine how much material is left on the gasket surface and that the Service Manual says...

    1G FWD Equal Length Driveshaft mod.

    I've recently installed the left driveshaft from a 1G AWD on my FWD as specified on the Equal Length Driveshaft page (I think it is not available on line anymore). It wasn't easy since I am not a mechanic and I could not rise the car that much but it works. I noticed some improvement (that...
