Are extras being produced if we missed out on putting our names on the list?

I need a set. Sending payment now.

^^^^What he said. Imagine power-shifting everywhere you went whether you were racing or just driving normal to the grocery store. The much shorter throw didn't really allow the driver to "feel" the trans out while shifting and let it fall into gear. It was more of forcing it into gear. I...

Got my beautiful trans back from Team Rip Engineering. Jon is local to me and is THE best in the DSM transmission game. He tore down both the transmissions I brought him right in front of me to assess the damage and go over potential upgrades.Original trans had seen better days. F that...

Went through a big push and got a lot of things done to the car. I'm happy to say it is running now and I'm enjoying putting some miles on it. I'll start with some of the interior stuff that I have done.Couldn't find a gauge pod I liked so I had to make one. I wanted something that didn't...

Big things were coming for the car in the next couple weeks. I was pushing to make Eyes On Design in Detroit in a month. It is an invite-only show with a lot of really high end cars so I have to make sure this lowly little Eagle is in tip-top shape. She currently looked like this:

(A good portion of this log will be catching up on things I have done already this summer. A bit of this is copied and pasted from another forum.)First things first with the car was waking her from her winter slumber. A friend of mine has a lot of property and was kind enough to let me put...

I figured it was about time I started a build thread for this car on a forum that might actually care about it. I bought the car from a good friend of mine that has owned it for nearly the last 10 years. He and I went to high school together and when he was looking to upgrade from his '95...

Bring this thing to DSM Shootout so we can do a photoshoot together plz! :)

I was actually just thinking about that when I was looking at mine and how it wouldn't fit on that trunk, doh!

Car looks really good man. Pretty much a twin to my '98 TSi. I think it would look even better if you painted the door handles to match and then the windshield surround and mirrors black like a factory TSi. If you are looking for a high-rise spoiler there is one in a junkyard near me I could...

Haters gonna hate. Looks better than half the hack-job "real race cars" that I see rolling at the DSM SO every year.

You know there are a lot of guys that drove a LOT further than that? The Canada guys came upwards of 12 hours and still had a blast, and I know they will be back next year. If you didn't enjoy yourself than I'm sure nobody will miss you next year.

Thanks for the grille, dog, looks clean!

I know that at least 5 people took pics of me while I was at the Dyno Day at Buschur's shop, and countless more were taken of other members of our club. I kinda want to see how many of you took pics, and which club member of ours got the most exposure. So, post any pics you have of the shirt...

Here is mine. Some of you might remember it from the Shootout. The only bad thing about it is cops love to follow me around. Girls seem to love it though too :D .

Just thought it was funny that I took a pic at the exact same time he did. Although mine is a lot more blurry and......drunk :p . I also happen to be the one in the blue shirt in pic #29 of 36 in his pics. Good times :thumb: .

Absolutely amazing story! Though I didn't have much time to chat with you me and friends were rooting you on the whole time. Can't wait to see what she puts down with a little more work. Look forward to seeing you again next year, and maybe finally getting a ride in AWD. Keep up the good...

I may not be in the first few, but these have to be good enough for a shirt. I know you all remember the bouncy beds in the BW, and the music played at the track (such great tunes as Final Countdown and YMCA). Also, any rolling pics were taken by me while driving, so considering that they are...

I just bought some new suspension for my car that includes Tokico Illuminas, Skunk2 Coilovers and a Prothane Full Bushing kit. Before putting it on I have a few questions about the installation:I have read about cutting the bumpstops, and even perch and wondered which was necessary? Will...

Ill be there in my car. I am also up for going to the Mitsu vs. Scooby shootout too :thumb: .This snow sucks bigtime, although I totally showed a cavelier how to do donuts in a parking lot the other day. HAHAHA, he was like "is that a 2.4L all wheel drive?"-ILL EGL behotches!!!!!

I wanna get some Tokico Illuminas and H & R sport springs. Can't have a pimpin' Talon with an offroad suspension.

The always clever CheapTalon on Xceed

I saw quite a few 2g's at the meet without blinging grills. Maybe a FMIC? Itll be hard to decide, but thanks in advance for this opportunity :thumb: .

Yeah, great turnout everybody :thumb: , I had a really good time. With all the cars that we had now, I can't even imagine how big it'll be once we ALL have our cars on the road. Im already looking forward to the next meet. Maybe there'll be a few more 1g's representin' there :p . Highway...

Im 18. I hope I can be there in my Talon. I have been working on that freckin thing for the past 2 weeks and stupid BS keeps it from gettin on the road.

Hey Kevin, if you still have that turbo can I check it out sometime? ::calling first dibs::

Since you guys hijacked this thread a little bit already, I have a question for you PSiRemix. Do you still have the OEM front and back bumper from your 97-98 talon? Im trying to acquire all the parts i need to do the conversion to my 95. Thanks, Ben.

Oh Snap!! I guess ill jump on the band-wagon too :eek: ;) .

This kit should have it http://dsmparts.com/customer/product.php?productid=383&cat=108&page=1 . Thats still kinda pricey, but its the cheaptest that I could find off the top of my head. You could always just buy that and sell the other stuff, or just save it for incase more bushings go bad?

Im sure there will be somebody to give you a ride. I would, but I have to concentrate on getting my car on the road in time to even think about giving rides.

I did mine like 2 weeks ago for a clutch job. I just used a jack for the motor. I just jacked up under the oil pan with a 2x4 or something else so that you don't crush the oil pan. Getting the trans off is the easy part, getting it back on will take some work and a little luck. Also, make...

It would take a while for anything drastic to happen. Mine is bad on the front of my beater Galant and ive been driving it like that for too long. Itll just grind really bad after a long time, and shake horribly. Mine got so bad it snapped off a couple wheel studs. But a week or two (even...

Ill be there. I hope that my parts come in on time and I can take my car. :talon:

This happens to many 6bolt swapped 2g's. One of the cases that I heard of also started roughly 3 months after also and he tried almost everything to fix it. Most people buy DSMlink cause it has a feature that cures Random Cyl #4 misfire too.

Im in for this too. Now all I need to do is find a 1g. This is looking to be a great year for our area dsm community :thumb: .And Ill PM you about that title thing cookmaster30.

khendriksma1 I think that I saw your car like 2 years ago in York Creek apartments on Alpine in GR. Just wondering if you had your car back then?

Im goin :talon:

I think that at this point I will just try installing another axle shaft. And as far as I know, every transmission (or at least everyone Ive ever worked on or seen) leaks fluid when the shaft is taken out. Thats why they make those plugs so that you can plug the hole when doing a cv shaft...

I figured it might have to do with the shaft. I had a lot of trouble with NAPA and getting the right one. I think what i will do is just get one from a different store and then if thats right just return the one that i have now. Thanks for the help :talon: .

When i bought my 1995 AWD talon (5spd) it had a bad wheel bearing. As with most 2g's the cv shaft was frozen in the knuckle. So I bought a new wheel bearing and knuckle from the dealership, and a new cv shaft from NAPA. After installing all of this I drove it around the block a few times and it...

I would paint the car to match the wheels. That would look very clean. I was thinking of doing the same thing when I get another white '91. Ive seen some pearl white cars with a straight white wheel, doesn't look near as good IMO. I would also leave the car's top black, no need to mess with...

I was thinking about doing this to my car in the future, but that is still a ways away. Less drivetrain loss, and it absorbs more shock on launching etc so that the rear-end and t-case don't have to. I emailed ACPT and they told me $1900 for a one piece shaft, and around $1200 for a two piece...
