Figured I'd post this up to hopefully keep me motivated to work on this more.In the process of designing/fabbing some flares for my '91 Talon. With my wheel setup, 17x9 +22 on 255/40s, I had about 1 - 1.5" of poke with camber set for street use. If the mold turns out well enough I might try...

I thought I'd share the control arms I put together. Thought about going the AFCO route, but wanted to retain the slight bend the OE arms have to avoid the risk of chassis contact.So onto the parts needed2 turnbuckle/jack screws, I used M16x2.00. One end is RH thread and the other is LH. 2...

I haven't seen much of anything about these coilovers in the DSM camp, so I figured post my experience with these.I'll start with ordering. I bought these through Strictly Performance, and I can't say enough good things about their customer service. I ordered over the phone, and within the...

It all started when I bought an engine from Jesse Noll (Highline Motor Sports AKA Highline Automotive).It was advertised as a built up, race ready engine with only a couple hundred miles on it after the build.Well being that I'm a fulltime student, I wasn't able to get the engine into...

I am just finishing up a 6 bolt swap and my engine sounds like this....What could this be? A rod?

I thought I'd give this a whirl seeing as I had a spare interior trim pice for the mirror cover and I didnt like the ugly vent mounting. So far its just roughed in. I used PVC for the pod part. I still need to do some fiberglassing on it and painting. The hardest part was trying to run the line...

Well I managed to get the motor put in but I can bolt up all but the rear mount. The bracket that attatches to the motor is putting its hole about 1/2 inch farther back than th mount is. I read somewhere that fwd and awd had differient brackets. If somone with CAPS could search to find out what...

So as I get down to the last bit on my engine build I ws becoming a little dishartened with all the little things I had to replace/buy. A biggy was the oil pressure gauge sender that can be found on the oil filter housing. The last owner bent the threaded end but decided it was alrigt t epoxy it...

I've been contemplating if I should make my own exhaust or just buy one. I came across this one ad on ebay for an awd catback and the design looked so simple. If this design honestly clears everything I could make my own exhaust for alot cheaper than I thought. Check out the pics they have...

I was contemplating if I should keep or ditch my a/c system while I have my car torn apart. Im unsure if the compressor is still ok tho. Is there any way to check/test it without being on the motor and running? Possibly a dealer can check it out?And if I do still plan on putting the A/C...

I planned on buying an OEM front case, but I stumbled upon an ad on ebay that claimed that the one they were selling was old inventor or overstock OEM ones. It would save me $100 so I thought I'd look into it. Does anyone have any picks of an OEM front case and possibly an after market one like...

I was planning on getting rid of my windsheild wiper and washer and thought of using one of the fin type anennas from a newer car and putting it in the washer nozzles place, and of course getting rid of the stock antenna. They just look a bit sleeker. Does anyone know how to do antenna wiring...

Im going ahead and doing an a/c delete while the engine is outa the car to free up some room, get rid of some wheight, and that whole jist. I wanted to do a full delete which means the evaporator under the dash has to go too. Now if I take that out is there ducting under the dash that I need to...

Picked this '91 Talon TSi couple months ago. Rings were shot, dirty as hell from sitting out side. Managed to get the motor and tranny out. Busted a caliper mount off of the spindle while trying to press the axle out. Rear brakes are rusted stuck. Oh and almost all the studs are shot for the...

Im having trouble finding what part this is. Its the gear below the castle plug. Does any one know what the part number is? Im looking on JNZtuning nd theres two oil pump sprocket/gears. Is it the drive gear? I chipped off some of the lip when I removed it.

When I removed my engine the passenger side axel wouldnt come out of the steering knuckle. We ended up having to use a hydraulic press but in the process it snap a caliper mounting tab off the knuckle. So I bought a used one, but when I got it I found out its for a car with ABS (wich mine is...

Picked up a '91 Talon TSi bout a week ago for $300. Doesnt run, turbo was gone. Almost every wire that was hooked up to te engine was disconnected and not labeled so Im having a hard time gettting it all back together. This is my first DSM and the first that Ive worked on. Two main wiring...
