I cheated. Posted my two favorites as of now.

Resolved. Bled the line. Adjustment at the pedal wasnt neccesary but adjusted to my taste. Thanks all

I might need to replace mine. Where did you get your AISIN unit? dealer or online?

Very nice !How would this compare to lesser priced coilovers such as Feal 441, BC and the likes. They tend to hover around the $2k mark.What do the Ohlins bring for an additionnal $2k?

EDIT* Just saw your 420a. Not sure if the following still applies...Like 5th gear cruising speed, under 3000rpm?Sounds like one of these notorious ''P0300 after clutch job'' issues. Since you did an Auto to Manual swap.Just food for thought...

That's a bummer! when your rebuilt the engine, did you use new machine head bolts from the hardware store on the oil pan? IIRC, one of them has to ground down a little to avoid interference or your risk shaving the timing belt ever so slightly until catastrophic failure. Kinda like whats going...

I just submitted mine.Canadian Jan 1998 4E3AL54F4WE093486tsi awd 5spd 150,000 km Pewter blue pearl Gray leather/black dash Sunroof No power seats. No ABS. No rear LSD

I lean over the passenger side strut tower on my stomach and have my right arm against the valve cover. With my left arm, everything is accessible.

Yes, I visually verified the positon of the fork in relation to the window. It's ever so slightly offset to the driver side. I did get my flywheel resurfaced, and when i measured the step height with a quality caliper (starret), i was reading .610 exactly. However, being limited to just a...

I've always had success with the lower bolts with a ratcheting wrench. Mine dont have swivel heads.

Hey all,Quick question, my clutch pedal goes to the floor after a clutch job. New TB and fork with very low miles OEM exedy replacement kitI never disconnected any clutch lines however while I was doing the job, the slave rod feel off. Not sure if that matters?Should i be worried the exedy...

Any updates? Interested in this

You guys are doing an amazing job. I ordered Monday late evening, and received Wednesday mid-day. You guys dont miss a beat!

I purchased some FEALs last week. 441... They gave me about a 6 weeks lead time but i'll only install them when I get around to pulling the subframe out to get it powder coated.

Appreciate the efforts. I'll put the rear LSD project aside for now. Perhaps next year I'll splurge on the DSS axle/evo cup combo with the Cusco LSD - total piece of mind. I just cant commit to all of that atm. I under estimated the project thinking I could Frankenstein a cost effective solution...

But twicks just said he hasn't had issues with the cusco.I'm so lost. I give up. Lol

This definitely clears up the confusion regarding the axle cups.Simple recap for those looking for the same information.When rebuilding a 2g non-lsd rear diff with an evo LSD, 2g non-lsd cups won't workHowever, when opting for aftermarket evo LSDs ( Gikens, kaaz, Cusco), the 2g non-lsd...

Like CrackedDSM mentionned, you knowledge is very much appreciated.Could you possibly elaborate what's the 2nd poster in this thread is referencing? He shows a picture of one snub being shorter than the other. Claims it to be evo3 vs 2g non-lsd cups...

THANK YOU for clearing that up. I was tearing my hair up trying to decipher everyone's claims with all the forums posts throughout the decade. So 2GB rear non lsd axles COULD work? An OS Super Lock would be a direct drop in for a 2g non lsd WITH 2gb non-lsd axless??? Anyone can confirm??

Thanks twicks69.My goals are unorthodox. I wish to create a sort of tribute, a 98 TSI AWD Final Edition if you will. A properly spec'd DSM, the way the dealer should have let us build these cars in the final years.I think an evo rear end type diff would do it justice.I'd love to make a...

Hey all,It's summer 2023, thus another season of struggles when it comes to parts.Today's topic, rear diffs for a 2g.What are our options nowadays?I currently have an LSD pumpkin and axles set, and a non-lsd pumpkin and axles set.I'm not particularly stoked about installing my LSD unit...

I feel ya. This is my 2nd talon. My first is a rust bucket. Interesting enough, of thr 140 responses concerning exterior color, PMG isn't listed. I'll be making a thread soon about the car. Cheers

Bumping with my newly acquired MGP 98 talon awd. 150k kmFound this thread trying to figure out how rare this combo is.

Ahhhhh.you see, I thought that was a 1g thing to do due to the lack of 4 pin. I thought 4 pin was automatically a simulated signal.Ty sensei

Okok. Ill check to see if I found those boxes tonight.Also, I noticed my idle switch does not flip between 0 and 1. I know 2g have a 4 wire TPS and dosnt have the physical switch like the 1g, so my question, is there any other setting that needs to be played with or mechanical adjustments?

I had seen that one before. I'd be more interested in the two others. They are pesky

Thanks.I dont have a wideband. Or at least 3 days ago i didnt. I installed one last night. Its logging now.- I could of sworn i set it too 0.63v but i see 0.53 in the log. Misread i guess.- Almsot certain my MAF is logged..- The CEL knock was default value. I can change it. Thanks.-...

Thanks kryndon. Just double checking and running through what i did just to make sure it made sense.I have to install my downpipe and new exhaust shortly (full megan kit) and since my o2 to downpipe flange was leaking, it gunkd up my freshly painted engine a bit :( so im thinking of pulling my...

Yes, you are right. Its a quick fix but I was just trying to avoid it and move on to other things since the issue seems entirely "cosmetic"Here's an idle log if ur interested. Its a slow build.. 5 years in the making. First week ever I cruise it around. Im still at wastegate pressure.. i.e...

so while hastly putting my components back on, i omitted my crank sprocket to harmoic balancer dowel pin and as a result didn't install the balancer in the correct orientation.While looking at online pictures of the harmonic balancer, the timing mark seems to line up vertical with the bolts...

Both the rival S and nexen Sur4 seem to be all out of stock on any canadian website i look. :(*UPDATEWell i went ahead and ordered the same tire since they are "tried and true" and they just happened to be the cheapest as well. Turns out its a dated listing and they dont exist no more...

Ah thanks. It's hard finding tire information and what's new or better online. Google always points you too online tire shops and there's never really info on tire tech itself. Feels like everyone tries to sell you on a fancy name and good looking tread.The tire you suggested is XL. One thing...

Hi,Currently looking to replace my old tires. 225/45/17 BFGOODRICH G-FORCE SUPER SPORT A-S.I can get the same set for $700 CAD tax in,or for roughly $165 ea. before taxIm trying to look for reviews and they seem to date from last decade (2007-2008)Would if be dumb of me to repurchase the...

Link running on android OS. Did I get that right ??

I thought we had open center differentials. No transfer case and everything is sent out to the rear with no power at the front.Perhaps I'm mistaken or my logic is flawed. Either way, its in no driving condition right now. Need to bleed the clutch, brakes, muffler is unhooked etc etc. I'm just...

Same.I mated an FP manifold with an FP red with, both with very low miles, with RTMs thickest gasket.I've torque them down cold, retorque them when hot.And it leaks on the compressor side. Bummed out :/I havnt even been able to take it for a spin yet because I'm still missing the...

Hello,I purchased this turbo from a buddy for half the price with less than 500miles on it.I know there are lots of threads about the older versions of the FP red has it was a very popular turbo back in the hay days.But now I'm trying to find "reviews" or customer experiences with this...

I'm mostly interested in the 2nd part of your 2nd part. Since nobody has answered already, I take it as a no.What transducer are you guys using to log with link?

I had lots of fun with with my big 16g creepin to 30ish psi, holding 25.Comes on like a freight train.

I was using the wire wheel. It was HARD. I think he threw on multiple coats. Its THICCHe had off gassing issues.

Eww, just realized the MD170799 I received are 4 spoked. Looks awful.Oh well.

Yes. New OEM MD170799 from extremePSIThanks. I could make a thread about this as well if interested.

Thanks. I'm not super picky on having the exact colors i want. but i do like that VHT option. might strongly consider it. The new gears were 150 CAD shipped. Plus 50$ for a powder coat job again... it becomes an expensive mistake. Although a can of VHT like that is also aroudn 20 CAD with tax...

I do not. I really should.heres a little preview. I might go get the new gears coated... but properly this time.Every nut, bolt and bracket has been "polished" and zinc plated. Either blue or yellow.**Also, dont worry about the plugs. Its just a quick mock up. Everything has been in...

I've been here long enough to know everyones answer. I ordered a new set off extremePSIPretty sure they've been sand blasted. Plus the wire wheeling I tried on it was eating it away. I'm just done with them. I've wasted to much time on these gears, I'm extremely annoyed. It's set me back 3+...

Well, worst came to worst. I tossed them in the trash. I actually found a spare set laying in my parts bin, although, it looks gouged.Opinions?Thanks

$20???Let me know where because cheapest I found was $150 CAD shipped.MD170799 correct?

Originally I zinc plated, and yellow chromated myself. But it kept bubbling and peeling off. Must be a steel alloy that's not playing nice. After doing it half a dozen times, I gave up.The gears where only $25 CAD a piece to powder cost so it wasn't bad. But if it was masked it would of...
