Wow, amazing what a coincidence.Looks like Phil1320 Phil Beers sold his #32 car to the right person, you.You have had your eye on this car for over 18 years!!!!From what I remember you saw this factory backed 1990 #32 Archer Bros HKS SCCA World Challenge Championship car when you where...

I just found the 2 pics you sent me back in 2006 Scott. One is the pic shown here in your post and the other was of it on the #33 car. I have added it here for historical reference.-Richard Silva- '93 Talon TSi O.G. Talon Digest member 96-2002 OG SoCal Club DSM co-founder 1997 Club DSM...

**UPDATE*** Yea I know 1 1/2 years later I did some deep searching on Facebook and found an 1G Alamo 12 row SMIC ver 2. (circ 1996)Back in June of 2022 these are pics of it at the sellers house, and then a pic of it on my car, literally. Some pics of my stock 1993 SMIC next to the Alamo one...

Adding to this; if anyone is looking to stripe there own wires to match the factory striped wires I have found a 3-D printed tool and a how to video on a Porsche forum that is perfect. I can't seem to add a STL file to my post so you guys can download it, otherwise I would. I had to go to the...

Hi Jesse,Did your cousin ever sell it? and if he did to who?

Don't forget to check those ECU caps first as well. The worst is when the car won't start and you think "but I've changed everything" and its the ECU caps.

Resurrecting this thread as I'm curious what people are paying now a days.Paid $18,300 for my '93 Talon TSi in March of 1993.Bought it new with 6 miles on it, it was also 8 days old when I bought it.Drove it as my daily driver from new in March 1993 until Dec 2019.Starting in Jan 2020 I...

These are fantastic. Thanks for posting these.-Richard Silva- '93 Talon TSi O.G. Talon Digest member 96-2002 O.G. SoCal Club DSM member

Thanks for the tip, babyviper.I should have said, 'I'm looking for an 1G Alamo SMIC' that I can bolt on.My Talon has always been period correct, as I'm the original owner and bought it new in1993. Not looking for the a good upgraded SMIC. I'm looking for the first ones ever made for the...

If I knew you where selling it I would have bought it from you.Are you allowed to say who has it now?-Richard Silva- '93 Talon TSi O.G. Talon Digest member 96-2002 O.G. SoCal Club DSM member

Hi Lurker,I know this post is 10 years old.I have a question of this pic of the 1G Alamo SMIC. Did you own this SMIC or know who did?Looking for one like it for my Talon.Thanks, -Richard Silva- '93 Talon TSi O.G. Talon Digest member 96-2002 O.G. SoCal Club DSM member

Thank you Scott!!!!I haven't seen these since 2006!! Nice welds by the way!Where do you post your current Archer 33 Talon adventures nowadays?Thanks again,-Richard Silva- '93 Talon TSi O.G. Talon Digest member 96-2002 O.G. SoCal Club DSM member

Hi Trevor,I know, I know, this thread is 10 years old.Had to ask, do you still have this Alamo side mount intercooler ?Or do you remember who you sold it to?I'm looking for for an Alamo 1G sidemount just like yours. Thanks, -Richard Silva- '93 Talon TSi O.G. Talon Digest member 96-2002...

Hi Scott, Way back in 2006 you PMed me or e-mailed me the photos of you modified sidemount intercooler that's on your Archer car.Looks like the DSM tuner server didn't save them after all these years. Could you post them here for all to see.I ask because I remember your Archer sidemount...

Those are 16 x 8 inch BBS RS platinum wheels. Archer Racing use to sell them back in 1990-1995 for $500 each. They were very popular in the late 80's early 90s on many BMWs, Porsches, Corvettes and VWs and as you can see Archer Racing used them on all their 1st gen race cars.The 5 lug 16...

Your best bet is to send it to steve here on this board. He does top notch work at very reasonable prices.I don't see the point in buying a used ECU that can go at anytime. You can get your original one repaired to as good as new, for the same price or less as a used one.My ECU was...

What is your post answering? Very confusing.It's a bunch of info; but to whom?

In the 1992-1993 Service Manual they changed some alignment specs for the 1G. They are as follows:1G AWD Front Suspension; 2.0L Turbo Camber: +0.1 degree plus or minus 0.3 degrees Caster: 2.18 degrees plus/minus 0.3 degree Toe-in: zero plus/minus 3 mm (plus/minus .12 in.)1G FWD Front...

At BoostedDSMman's request I am making a post out of my response to his Evo 3 part numbers request.EVO 3 Exhaust manifold, O2 housing and all related gaskets can be ordered from any Mitsu dealer. You have to tell them that it's in the Cypress, CA warehouse or to check the Atlanta, GA...

Matt,I finally solved my problem.This March 08 I replaced my clutch pedal assembly, while in there I had to take out the steering column and disconnect my alarm, ignition switch, and HKS turbo timer.One thing I noticed was that my clutch switch was disconnected, not the one up by...

MattDid you ever find a solution to your problem?-Richard Silva- O.G. SoCAl Club DSM

with the ignition key in the "ON" position with the engine NOT running the volts should be .48V-.52V with the throttle plate closed.-Richard Silva- '93 :talon: Talon TSi

What ever happened to your problem?-Richard Silva- '93 :talon: Talon TSi

Hi Scott,I had a few questions about your Archer Talon.Are the Porterfield brake pads your preference or is that what came on the car when you bought it?Do you have a pic of the side mount intercooler? Curious if it's the one Alamo use to sell, basically the Cartech intercooler.What...

Did you ever find out the exact cause of your problem??What finally fixed it?-Richard Silva-

Paid $18,300 for my '93 Talon TSi in March of 1993.Bought it new with 6 miles on it, it was also 8 days old when I bought it.-Richard Silva-

This thread has to much mis-information.The 1G NT 4g63 and the 1G Turbo FWD tranny DO NOT share the same tranny number or Transaxle model number.The 1G NT 4G63 tranny model # is F5M22 and the 1G Turbo FWD 4G63 tranny model # is F5M33.1990 model year to 1992 model year FWD Turbo...

The 93-94 1G 7bolts came with 7.8:1 pistons.7bolt 1G, 2G EVO I, II, III all have the same part number for the rods.The 2G 8.5:1 pistons will fit your rods with no mods.Haven't heard of crankwalk on a 1G 7bolt.I personally have 180,000 original miles on my '93 Talon TSi crank and...

You do NOT need to cut the motor mount bracket nor did you ever have to. Tom Stangl's VFAQ was the first to preach this mod.I've installed a new head gasket onto both a 1st gen 6 bolt & 1st gen 7 bolt blocks and never had to cut the bracket.With ARPs you use to have to hand thread the...

What's the vin number off the block?Look at the pics of these two EVO III engines, the throttle body linkage and TPS should be in the same spot as a DSM.http://www.lancerregister.com/reg_c...php?carid=425#/ and http://www.lancerregister.com/reg_c...php?carid=304#/Note the upper...

The only mark on the crank pulley is a little notch that can only bee seen with a timing light.If you mean you need to put the timing belt on and line up all the timing marks then go here http://www.vfaq.com/mods/timingbelt-2G.html and follow the instructions.Hope this helps...

The EVO III did have a CAS on the intake cam.I have personally seen the engine bay of an EVO III and here are pics of other EVO III engine bays.http://www.lancerregister.com/reg_cardetails.php?carid=425#/ and http://www.lancerregister.com/reg_cardetails.php?carid=304#/looking at my...

I would pull the cams out of the head and look to see that all the valves sit at the same height, if they sit at all different heights then you have bent valves.If they all look like they're the same height chances are good your valves are straight.If all looks well goto...

Bare minimun would be to follow the instructions in the service manual on "Removal of Cylinder Head Gasket"Hope this helps,-Richard Silva- '93 :talon: Talon TSi
