So, just recently discovered this game. Anyone else play or curious about it? I was extremely hesitant to get a game without a traditional campaign, but my God is this game fun. I've encountered a few bugs already, but honestly for $40, can't really go wrong. It's fun AF, and the mechanics...
Hey guys, gonna get right into it.1) why is it bad if you’re missing the dowels for the bolts on a 1G awd 5spd trans? I keep hearing “it’s bad” and “causes clutch issues” but what kind of issues exactly?2) What’s the risk in using arp bolts with no spacer on an act flywheel? I’ve read...
Hey guys and gals in the orlando(or surrounding) areas, I need a favor. I'm buying a transmission down that way, but REALLY don't want to drive 14 hours round trip from Pensacola to get it.Are any of you in the coming week(s) planning to make a drive ANY further north than Orlando? Like...
Sup fellas. Me again back with another problem.Symptoms: Transmission will not disengage the clutch. If you try to start it in gear, car lurches forwards. When the engine is running, if you press the clutch in and try to put it in gear, it will not budge. Linkage is adjusted properly...
Hey guys, I waited to make this thread after I reached the end of my rope. Well, reached that point today.Quick background: 91 Talon TSI AWD. The gauge cluster will show lights, but the tachometer has never worked according to previous owner. It has a weird hybrid of 90 interior harness...
So you clicked this thread anyway, cool.Now the question, can someone measure the little mount area for a 2G rear view mirror? The part that slides on to the windshield mount itself.Or if anyone knows, can you put a 2G rear view mirror into a 1G without changing the mount? I have a 1G I...
Hey guys, I bought this ECU recently and it's got some...sketchy..repairs. I've done a little soldering and a tiny bit of stuff like that, so I know a little about what I'm looking at. However, I'm not a pro or an expert. That's where you guys come in.In your expert and experienced...
I searched but the new algorithm on google and on the website keeps making me come up with goose eggs.Is there a short and sweet way to easily identify if you have a 4 spider diff vs a 2 spider? Do I have to pull the trans apart to do this or can I just pop an axle out and peer inside or...
Originally posted in: AMS Black TalonI don't want to make an entirely new thread just for advice, so I'll ask it here.What do I do with a 90 air-cooled OFH for a street DSM? This car is never gonna be on any kind of circuit or auto-X tracks, just occasional driving of the spirited variety...
I figured this was a good idea, maybe we can get this stickied. Long story short, post your rock auto discount code and then be sure to mention expiration date. This way no searching required.Code: 229142141198404136
Expiration date: May 12th 2023Hope this helps.
Hey guys, I'm trying to plan ahead for everything on my Talon that I need, and I'm up to the air conditioning portion. The car has an ETS front mount on it, and two mishimoto slim fans that I plan to ditch ASAP. Because the previous owner informed me it had an issue with overheating around...
Well, I'm curious so I'm making a thread. I searched but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for so now I'm reaching out to the land of Tuners.Does anyone have first-hand experience with a DSMGreen on BOTH an FP Race Manifold vs the OEM 2G Exhaust Manifold(ported or not, doesn't...
Hey guys, I bought some power mirror covers for my 1G DSM, and I'm missing one of these clips. I have no clue what they're called, and I tried searching google and here for all kinds of variations on "mirror cover trim clip" and etc. Does anyone know the part # or what it's called?As a...
Hey, pretty short and sweet thread but I keep seeing more and more people want to use Venmo instead of PayPal. What’s the consensus of it? Do you guys have good experiences? Bad? Have you had to dispute anything? If so, how’d it go?Figure it’d be good for everyone to know and hear both good...
Nothing exactly world beating and it’s probably been covered before.But what’s everyone done or seen done for the rear trunk floor of a 1G? I don’t have a spare or I’d just put a piece of board and carpet over it. I don’t really want to get in to cutting floors out and etc. I’ve been going...
So, just a simple request here(I don't know crap about Photoshop) but can one of you more astute PS users make this 1G into a panda? I'm considering painting it either white/black and making it a panda, or repainted it the OEM silver/champagne-ish color that it was originally. I think it'd...
So basically, there's a 1G DSM supposedly in the pullapart/junkyard in birmingham, and it's like 5 hours from me. Too far to take a gamble.What I am offering, is for you to go to the junkyard, and check it out for me. If it has good front/rear seats(Even if they are dirty) pull them for me...
Title kinda says it all. Here's a link to the video itself. Scroll back in his uploads and you can see when he first got it. The guy is entertaining a little, if not outright wrong on (quite..) a few things, but mainly I'm curious as to who originally owned this car. It apparently came from...
Title kinda says it all, but does anyone remember that black AMS Talon? It ran the underground racing guys when they all had supras and was on an IMV Films feature one time. Curious if anyone has pictures of it or knows what I’m talking about? It had a built 2.4, 42R, and a dog box if I remember...
Title is pretty self explanatory. I’m curious if I have a 2Gb harness in my 95 talon or if it’s a 2Gb. It’s got a split thrust longblock in it and has always run the 2Gb CAS since I’ve had it. It also doesn’t have some of the other early 95 stuff in the engine bay.Is there any easy way to tell...
I was thinking about this today and felt like we could use a little random whine fest thread to vent what we currently(or in the past) hate about car culture. I know most hate body kits and such, I’m talking other niche things.As a bonus, what do you like that most people hate? I’ll go...
So for those who don’t know, SCOTUS just recently BTFO’ed the EPA and their ability to regulate things. This is not a political thread so please keep that out of this thread.What I’m curious about, is does this mean our beloved car modifications are safe finally? Can we start selling...
To all my fellow fathers out there? Happy Father’s Day you filthy animal.:P It’s more important to have a strong father figure in the kids life than most ever realize. Kudos to the papas out there who actually manned up and stayed to take care of their kid(s).
Hey, need some advice. I’ve always had access to a shop with air tools up until very recently and it’s soon gonna be time to yank the engine and maybe transmission too. I absolutely cannot do this in the driveway as there are wasps literally everywhere and I’m deathly allergic to them. And to...
Like the title says, is there anywhere you can still get the lettering for the rear bumper for 2G talons? I searched to no avail. Mine have leaked their glue out and are a lost cause. See picture.From what I can find…nothing. And if anyone can make some new ones, I can get better pictures...
No backstory needed, just a simple question. Why is it social media is so absolutely toxic especially among car groups and stuff, where as on sites even like DSMTalk if someone spoke up with knowledge people listened. If someone had a differing opinion they offered it, and people in general...
Mods, first off feel free to move this to the proper area if I didn't put it in the right spot. Not sure where to put it.That said, anyone got pictures of an SSAC/VRSF FMIC on a 2GA Talon w/ stock front bumper? No offense to anyone, but I don't like 2GB Eclipse bumpers on 2GA Talons. It's...
Title pretty much says it all. Brand new in box, purchased this year, was included in my recent DSM acquisition and I don't plan on using this. 86mm bore and .051" thickness on the gasket itself. Price is not firm at $50 + shipping, make me a fair offer as it's just sitting here and it was...
This came off my eclipse that I just got back into my hands. It's everything needed to bolt this thing onto your DSM and go, minus an oil feed line. It has very minimal shaft-play that I would argue is normal for a journal bearing turbo, but is priced accordingly. Price is not firm, set at...
Anyone know a solid machine shop that's within like at least 2 hours of Roanoke, VA? I've got my DSM back and it's gonna need some machine work, and don't wanna deal with a belt-sanded hackjob shop.
Title says it all. I'm looking for a split thrust 4G64 bare block with a good useable crank. I can buy it outright, or if you're interested I've got a split thrust 7 bolt 4G63 block w/ crank and head I can include. I can even include a set of refurbished 7 bolt rods and NPR 2g pistons as...
Simple question for you guys, especially people getting packages from Florida. Anyone else experiencing massive delays with your packages? I’ve talked with a bunch of people and apparently everyone’s seen like month long delays on their packages especially around the Florida area.My question...
For sale is my backup stock VC. No leaks or cracks, not painted, still has it’s baffles and it’s clean for its age too.$60 + shipping and PayPal fees takes it.

Is it just me or are all the 2G FMIC kits disappearing? I can't even find the SSAC/VRSF style anymore. There is ONE on ebay for $350 shipped and I'm straight up not paying that much. The only style I can find are the terrible Greddy style ones.Is there a massive backorder I don't know...
So I'm back, and I've gone full hypocrite. Since my induction into DSM'ing, I've sworn it's automatic or nothing, and that I'd never use ECMlink.Well, here I am. :D 5-speed GSX with no plans to ever auto swap it, and first mod for the car will be ECMLink V3 Full. :p This will not be a...
First off, hi! Been a little while since I've been here.Secondly, I was recently given this..by a co-worker who decided to move to California and surprisingly I love it!It's rough, but hell it was free, man.It's a 93 Coupe, KA24DE which I liked that looks like a recent...
So, might be a hot topic but I don't really care, Lol. Who all here is a police officer/deputy sheriff/Law Enforcement Officer? I've actually submitted my application to become an Officer for Greensboro Police Department, and it's been accepted. Gotta take the fitness test and all the other...
I searched a little bit, but so far I only get a bunch of 1G threads or "my restalled converter..." threads.Simple question, does the STOCK unmodified 2G Torque Converter stall up with a 16G? They're pretty tight in stock form, so I'm a bit worried that I'll install one, go to brake boost...
Only does this while in gear. Reverse or Drive, doesn't matter. Does not make a peep while in neutral. Car is in my sig, the 2G TSI AWD Auto. It likes to stick while in gear and not shift up or down. If I click OD off it feels like it tries to shift down into first. Refuses to shift...
The search function is broken, and google yielded no results for me, so sorry if the answer is easy to find. I did try searching.If anyone has a set of the kiggly 5-disk front clutches for our DSM autos, can you measure the OD of them, count the teeth on the inside of the clutches, and...
Relatively simple question but the sheer amount of threads I get when I search "privacy cover" and privacy cover hanger, leads me to this thread.Anyone got a lead on where to buy the OEM 2G privacy cover hangers? They're a small, bullet shaped piece of plastic that inserts into the 2G...
Simple question. I've heard from a friend that the stock 2G lockup converters are weak and grenade after 300-350whp due to the lockup in them. Has anyone found the limits of the stock 2G Torque Converter? This just sounds like BS to me, but I've never pushed a stock 2G Torque Converter. I've...
I'm putting this in newbie forum because it seems like a newbie question. I've searched and gotten mixed results, but if you've found a thread via google or specific searching I haven't, throw it up.My block has surface rust on the deck surface/HG mating surface. I plan to run a MLS...
Alright, so I've been doing a little research on my current piston setup and need some answers. From someone either knowledgable about this subject, or with personal experience using these pistons.I asked my machinist for 9:1 pistons on my built long-rod 2.4, and the pistons he provided me...
