Installing a 2G trans in to a 1G or GVR4 is not too tough, but there are several things you need to be aware of. Here are the issues and how to overcome them. Realistically this swap has become quite rare due to the increasing price and demand of a good 2G trans, but if you're like me and found...
I have a set of these coilovers for my 1G, the other day while installing them I noticed they have absolutely no provision for mounting the factory brake line bracket. Being that my car is a 1G AWD, I have two-piece brake lines up front and in the rear which both go to brackets that are mounted...
Sorry, meant rod bearings!!! I bought a '92 TSi AWD auto to be my daily driver and the previous owner was in the middle of a BSE kit installation, well while in there he decided to go ahead remove one of the rod/piston combos to inspect one of the rod bearings. Well, I bought the car from him...
On one of our local forums a guy posted up a '92 Talon TSi AWD for sale, asking price 1200 bucks. Originally I didn't notice this, and by the time I did he dropped down to 900 out the door.So what does 900.00 get you these days?The good:

Buuut.... It's an OBX R.... Am I kidding myself here?What do you guys think, anyone seen one of these before or used one? The piece itself seems to be really nice but who knows right? I've heard mixed reviews of SSAutocrap, OBX etc, say what you will but I personally do know a guy...
Haha, well a while back my brother bought an SSAutocrap manifold for his SR20DET T3 setup. The thing just sucked total balls and never made it on the car. I've seen their crap manifolds and turbos etc, read the horror threads etc....ENTER..... THE TEST!I was in the market for a new O2...
Shortly after the installation of my ACT 2600, I began having trouble shifting. It wasn't bad at first, but progressively got worse and worse until I could barely shift at all... Waiting as long as I did to fix the problem was a DUMB move in hindsight, buuuuuuut I digress...After...
My friend has a '91 Galant VR4 with the following mods...K&N intake filter
MBC set to 16psi
3" turbo back exhaust
Ported 2G exhaust manifold
