It is sad that America was the only country to have to go to war to abolish slavery especially since America only received 4% of the slave trade. However most of that war was about states rights. Yes we the people have allowed our government to take control of our lives with so many Americans...

Text of the 16th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America:"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."If you did not...

Wrong! It's definetly whataburger but we have them in Louisiana. Decent food but but not worth that whoopin.

HAha hey, If you take a look at the crowd at 2:52-2:57 and pause it, they look like my old high school kids. Thuggish white boys. Man if your not riding on the sides of your wheels your just not living yet, next best thing next to sex but much more slippery in the ass end.

"WWWEEEEEEEEEE. Can I do that Mommy?"

Man I'm glad I am not the only one but at least my last final was today, I just checked my grades and I got A's in both my classes this semester.:D

Correct me if I'm wrong but if you going to drop the motor in with the transmission attached you need to be able to lower the transmission side down at an angle first with the cam gears angled upwards.

Last time I checked Mitsubishi was a Japanese company. The jdm motor is the same except for the intake manifold which has a butterfly valve in it. Eagles are only halfbreeds as they still have a Mitsubishi motor and most of the parts are made in Japan.

Yea untill the police catch up with you for bank robbery :-) seriously how much did you pay for the car and how much are you going to sell it for?

When you get a chance pull your spark plugs, get a light an see if you have fluid in your cylinders and on your spark plugs. You may have blown a radiator hose off but that can be a result of blowing a head gasket.

Was the white smoke also coming from your tailpipe when you stopped. It almost sounds like you may have blown a headgasket.Does your motor still turn over and just not start?

If you were to install an electric cutout you could weld it in the proper place and tune it with the cutout closed and then you would be on the safer side. Also, install an EGT gauge in the bung on the exhaust manifold and if you know how to read it right you can determine roughly if your rich...

I was mentally preparing myself to see you do a 360 in the eclipse next.

I do not know the stock compression for the 420a motor but I dont see where you are getting that lower compression will prevent knock. The way to prevent knock is through tuning and making sure you have a system with no boost leaks and proper fuel delivery. A higher compression piston is not...

So I take it you'll be looking into getting some sort of piggy back system? I would recommend starting a build sheet and following some of the path of other 420a turbo builds and just altering to fit your needs and wants from there.

Ok I am assuming your talking about a 420 block then, right? either way if your running a smaller turbo say, 14b or 16g, I would go with some 550's to leave your self some room to tune your fuel settings. Obviously, your also going to need something to tune with like dsmlink and a wideband, you...

300 cc injectors will not work period. Are those non turbo injectors stock size? I could have sworn they were bigger. What block are you building all of this on by the way? I would not worry about cam gears at this point in the build unless you just want to pay for looks. You should be more...

ROFL Its only fair that I call you out for your improper "grandma", wouldn't want to set bad examples.ROFL I would like to give kudos to the OP, this reminds me of when I first started working and learning on my DSM. I creates a bond that, to me, is unmeasurable. I laughed so hard when you said...

You'll never have any experience with that attitude either. You would only be out maybe 30 bucks? Take the risk!

To be honest I would leave the stock flywheel, what purpose do you have for lightening the flywheel?

Very true and, no, I have never used one so I wont comment on them. My personal experience, along with my close friend, with ACT has been a pleasant one. It sounds like you have answered most of your questions, now all you have to do is call a few shops and try and get the best price. Here is...

I actually am about to sell my ACT 2600 and Stepped flywheel (within spec for this clutch) and I only have 100 miles on it. I did a 6 bolt swap and bought a twin disc.

before you buy that clutch why dont you read this article I just found about someone elses experiences and remember you get what you pay for... http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?43713-XTD-Clutch-scam!

My ACT 2600 was 300 dollars, how much is the clutch your talking about? I have never looked.

Ah, I see. Well that was easy. So now you just want to know whether you need a stage 3 or 4? A 6 puck disk is designed to be pretty on/off, there isn't much friction area, making it a good choice for drag racing, but not being very streetable.

Well, I kind of meant money wise because that's where you have to start before you look at clutches or you'll be looking all day.

What is your budget for the clutch? How much before you say, "That is too much, no way."?

Maybe because the title "The Talon is in danger" makes us want to be heroes and save it from the evil hondagorath.

Diagnosis: car cancer. Like the color though

I bought a built block and head, built for 1000hp for $2000. I wouldn't pay that for a stock block. There are many of these for sale just hold out untill you find a clean one is my best advice.

It's sunday, which means we want to see the car

I have seen them run anywhere from 250 hp up to almost 500 with a perfect tune and the right build. It is a hard question to asnwer but law of averages would put it around 300-350 being it had a good tune and the proper supporting modifications to go along with it. Turbos don't just increase...

I would start by asking him these questions: last timing belt job (who did it also), any known leaks (where), any problems shifting, any electrical modifications done (which ones). If you can give us a good Idea of those, most people will be able to tell you if you could be buying a car that...

Are you going to forge the parts in the "Fires of Mount Doom, in Morridor" or get Gandalf to help?

/\/\/\I must mention I have been seeing my girlfriend for around 3 years and we dont have an anniversary. We dont even know when we were officially "going out" (to this day).

A lot of parts break on every car if not properly maintained, but when you buy a turbo car with faster moving parts there needs to be more diligence in maintaining it or, yes, talons can breakdown more. There are so many more modifications required before being able to run a bigger turbo, I...

In my current long term relationship I will be the first to admit I love the "act". However, in this situation I would have to take the knife in the throat.

I love harbor freight! I just picked my cherry picker up from there for 165 for a 2 1/2-ton

/\/\/\ Well I'm sold, yea so Megan fox is a beautiful wonder of the world but any guy cant deny that the girl above me wouldn't be taken home in an instant.

I Wish I had a scanner for some of my first cars but from first to currently:1. 1982 Pontiac Firebird-sold it for a profit to a guy who totaled his out 2. 1990 300ZX- sold it for a profit after I turned 17 because I hit a $1300 iron rod fence - barely scuffing the car 3. 1977 GMC Sierra-...

I just sent him an email, I felt bad for the poor abused talon. I would like to see someone not looking for a honda buy it! It reads:I need to inform you (to help you out hopefully) that neither eagle, mitsubishi, or chrysler has ever or will ever make a "v-tech" car. This v-tech is...

I haven't been living paycheck to paycheck really, but I haven't had the financial stability that I want in life. I decided, just recently after not having been in school for 5 years, that I would start at a community college and I am now taking courses to be a physical therapist assistant. In...

/\/\/\ OH MY... IS RIGHT!!! I had to capitalize for that (still coughing). I need some of that superman crack he is on."I got a 1999 eclipse gsx awd , 100,000 miles, its in really really great shape no big scratches just on the lip of the front bumper. Leather is in great shape no rips or...

Well rub it in why dont you.

School for Physical Therapy is the only "hobby" I can have time for. I work out after work but I dont know if that is a hobby more than just keeping healthy and fit.

No major updates yet but I just ordered aluminum driveshaft carrier bearings and jays racing alternator relocation. I just like how I can keep track of myself on the blogs lol. Jakelandry, I saw your car pulling into your work place the other day, it looks really good but I was on my way to work...

I know this was at the beginning of the thread but I just arrived. The main reason that these cars go for more in Colorado; because Colorado does not use salt on their snowy roads and most cars from Colorado have very little rust issues due to the very dry climate. I lived in Littleton for 10...

No actually I have talked to PTS and they are very expensive as far as builds go and you also have to bring the motor to them, they won't take it out. The guys that built my motor are not local. The turbo will be for sale to you for sure but I am going to run it for a little bit before I sell it...

OOHHHH ok, Yea can you tell I dont get to watch much t.v.?WAIT just a minute. Did he really go off of the end of that air craft carrier, never to be seen again, or did they just do that to get people to tune in! I want answers...

UGH I know I am about to get flamed for posting this but... Who is the "Stig"... Don't burn me too badly, is he like the "Chuck Norris" of the racing scene lol.
