One of The Finest Hand Build Fully Restored Eagle Talons ever. Original Car Purchased in 2004 with 123,720 miles. Restoration and Modifications were complete at ~142,000 miles. Current Millage is 152,422. ~10,000 miles since restoration and modifications were complete. A complete racing motor...

Not sure if you have considered the DG designed koni Coilovers, but they are absolutely superb IMHO. I realize that they will take a little work and money to complete, but the results are well worth the effort. It is just so cool that Dennis has been willing to let us have access to all his...

I am replacing my rear axles (LSD) in my 2G AWD and wondered if anyone can give me their experience with either the Driveshaft Shop 650HP axles or the Graveyard axles?I am interested in the durability and quaility of each.Thanks in advance for the help!:thumb:

I also have the exact same question! It looks to me as though the only way to get enough room for that bolt to clear the tank is to lower the sub frame (Crossmember). If you have discovered an alternate way please let me know.Thanks!Pres

Have you considered getting the locks from a junk yard and having a locksmith make key's for you if they don't have the key's at the junk yard? I have done this in the past for an RX-7 and the total cost was $75 bucks. Getting new locks from the dealer is certainly an option, but as you said...

I had the same problem with my newly built 2G short block. My scored cylinder wall and piston was primarily due to a blown Oil pump and parts from that doing it's damage before I could catch it! I had a local Mitsu shop do the rebuild and they did not replace the old Oil Pump (135,00 miles on...

It's not so much the extra HP that you get with cam gears it's the ability to further tune where you torque is (low-mid or high RPM). They are not really a very good HP/$ investment in my opinion, but if you are trying to get that last bit of control over where that horsepower resides in the...

Depends on your goals. I have them because I wanted to do all I could to get a flatter torque curve (more torque at lower RPM). they allow me to tweak exhaust and Intake valve timing independent of each other. While I achieved only a modest HP increase with them (~15HP), I did get a flatter...

Count me in as well!I met Thomas last year at VIR and what a great guy he is! I have also been seriously thinking of going with SD V3 and this would be a great opportunity to meet some folks in person and learned all that I can about this EMS.See you all then!Pres

Welcome holyman_70!I think that both the 1G and 2G are great cars, but both require some TLC to get the most performance and reliability from. I have owned a 1gen RX7, several M3's and an M5, and I have had more fun and learned more from buying and restoring my 1995 Eagle Talon TSI AWD...

Strm trpr, Thanks for the heads up on the outer ware prefilter! Excellent idea indeed! I can use this until I finish my protection box to go around the filter.I am currently in the process of polishing the SS pipe. Boy, what a PITA this process is!!! I guess nothing worthwhile comes...

I already had the 4.5" MAS to Pipe adapter so that is why I went with 4.5 pipe. I am sure the 4.0" would work fine as well. All I know is this mod has been a great way to get more HP (~ 20HP gain) on my car and I am very pleased with how it turned out. I just can't seem to stop tweaking on...

I am sure that others have done this before, but I was not able to find out the details of how to do it with a 4.5" pipe, so I just thought that I would post what I had found out as I put this together for anyone that might be interested. by the way, No bubbles to be burst here!Just trying...

I realize that there are many way's to skin a cat, but here is a brief overview of how I made a 4.5 " cold air intake mod for my 1995 Eagle Talon. I wanted to get the air filter out of the engine bay to attempt to reduce my intake air temps as much as possible. This mod reduced my Intake temps...

Here is an install of the Saikou Michi Co. Dual Chamber catch cans. They work great and the quality of Mr. Saikou's craftsmanship is outstanding! I did ask him to make them 5 inches long and not the standard length of 6 inches. This made installation much easier and didn't seem to have a...

Have you tried to rotate the rubber bump stops at the front to adjust the height? Just a thought.

My new belts do the same thing when cold but this stops once the car warms up.You will need to really tighten them up if you wan this to not happen. At least that has been my experience.PE

I had the same problem as you and tried all that you have tried to remedy the heat issue with no success! I finally tried the setrab oil cooler radiator upgrade and that did the trick!I am running a Garrett BB 50 trim and use the car for daily driving and weekend road racing and the heat is...

I finally separated the Turbine hot side from the CHRA! After several days of soaking with PB blaster I placed the turbine side in a vise and tapped upward the compressor housing with a rubber mallet in a circular pattern and it worked!Thanks again to all for the helpful suggestions! Much...

Thanks Kolby!I will give jusmx141 a shout and see if he has any other suggestions.PE

I tried the rubber mallet tonight....no luck! I would like to try the long bolt method, but the bolts don't have room to be completely removed unless the turbine housing can be loosened enough to allow there removal.Thanks for the suggestions!PE

I was wondering if anyone can give me any advise on how to get my Turbine housing to break loose from the CHRA on my Garrett 50 trim? I am having the turbine housing coated and it seems that the housing is rust - frozen to the CHRA and I can't seem to get it to break loose. I have tried using...

I couldn't find any details on your car other than it is a N/T. Any mods?Based on your description, it sounds like it could be your thermostat.Your coolant level in your reservoir should rise as your car warms up and fall back down once the car is completely cooled down.If the...

Thanks all for your feedback!I am using ECU plus EMS.BOV vented to intake not to atmosphereThrottle action is smooth (new cable).The TPS is brand new. The symptoms described were present even before I replaced the TPS.What exactly could be off on the TPS that would require a...

Looking for anyone that might have any suggestions as to why my 2g is hesitating at the time of gear shift (off gas on gas). This is also seen at the beginning of a rev with car stationary with clutch in or in neutral. The car runs great at idle, cruise, and WOT. The A/F looks to be at my...

I am not sure if this will help, but it is worth considering the following three steps if you have not already tried them:1.) thoroughly bleed clutch system and flush out old with new fluid.2.) adjust clutch pedal as described by Mitsubishi or better yet as described by Jacks...

A couple of things to look for would be: Did the spring correctly mount on the upper rubber spring perch and lower spring perch on the shock body? Did you go through the brake bed in procedure to ensure proper mating of pad and rotor?You can remedy both of these by reseting spring...

I am looking at my mounted HKS Cams (272 and 264) and I don't see any markings at all.Hope this helps.

Make sure that the pad backing plates are on the pads and that the retaining clips are installed correctly. I had a similar problem once when the clips were not installed correctly.

I noticed a slight improvement in spool especially between shifts on my GT BB 50 Trim when I changed from a stock 2G exhaust Manifold to the FP race Manifold.I also noticed that the heat under the hood was less than I thought it would be with the FP manifold even though I no longer had the...

Yes, many of the suspension bolts get frozen due to a kind of electrolysis from rust and like metal galling.Good luck getting to the shop!PE

As stated previously you will definitely need spacers for a tire that wide.My car is lowered 1.5 inches and I use 225/40/18 on 18x7.5 wheels with 40 mm offset and the inner part of the tire just barely misses the suspension arm. I went with 5 mm H&R spacers to clear my new Brembo big brake...

I really don't think driving the car with the head of the bolt snapped would be safe on something as critical as the control arm of your suspension! I would remove and replace to be safe.Good luck:thumb:Pres

Best - Devils Own Progressive Water/Meth Injection ( eliminated knock and allowed me to up boost by ~ 7 PSI and tune for a 11.2 A/F ration on Pump Gas and no knock ( ~ 70 HP increase on Dyno!) Best HP bang for the buck, Period!Worst - Greddy RS BOV - wouldn't blow off correctly and...

You can get the OEM bolt form a mitsu dealer. I have found that it really pays to get to know the mitsu parts manager and see if they will let you go back and show them the exact part that you are looking for. This really does help reduce the likelihood of them ordering the WRONG part...

Saturate the broken bolt as best as you can with PB Blaster or equivalent (let it soak overnight for best results). Drill out the bolt with carbide bit and remove with an easy out . After the bolt is removed, re-tap the threaded section in the frame to remove any remaining rust and damaged...

Thanks Guys:thumb:I just wish I could save enough money for time on the track at VIR!I went to VIR for the first time several months back and I can't remember when I had more fun!Road racing is absolutely a blast!I also hope to hit the drag strip in 09.I have dyno'd the car...

Thanks for the feedback guys!I just wish this wonderful pastime didn't cost so much!!!I guess there is always a price to pay to play!best of luck on reaching your goals!

Thanks Bubbs!Your ride looks like it is in pristine condition! Keep the faith:thumb:

Based on what I can tell from your setup it looks like you would need two things before you go any further, a wide band O2 and some type of EMS (ie...DSM link). Trying to run a turbo without these two essentials is fruitless in my humble opinion!!!I would also think that you would need...

I have been meaning to send this out for quite some time, so here we go...To everyone that might be out there, I just wanted to send out a big thanks for all the help over that last few years!I am one of the old geezers (49 years old) out there that has been completely amazed and humbled...

Thanks!I did get rid of the air bag bag. I also wanted to get rid of the cruise so I could have room for a catch can set -up.PE

Here is the pic of the new wheel installed. For some reason it did not take on the last try.

Thanks for all the help!I finished the install this evening and the horn works perfectly:thumb:PE

The filter misses the down pipe just fine and also misses the wastegate pipe as well.I removed all the stock coolant lines.Thanks!

Yes the set-up that I went with certainly was not the least expensive one could choose, but it did look to be one of very high quality and durability. I needed something that I could depend on as I have been bitten by the road racing bug! I have had this set-up in place for over a year and it...

I have been meaning to post pics of my Oil Cooler Upgrade for quite a while but have been busy trying to start a new business! I apologies for some of the fuzzy pic'sI used the following parts for the upgrade (all prices MSRP):- #1 Setrab series 1, 19 row oil cooler, M22 ports (part...
