I was wondering. What were the interior selections for the 2gb Talons? Did they have the option of 2 tone black/grey like the eclipses could get? What years had the all solid grey interiors? These questions apply to LEATHER interiors only. Thanks!
I am doing a rebuild on a 90 6 bolt and when my machinist went to do my head he called me up and told me that he will be unable to do a valve job because he does not have the correct "bit" or something and it would cost him $300 and that is not "profitable" for him. He told me that if I can find...
I am doing a rebuild on my '90 TSi AWD and I had a question about the oil cooler. Can you clean those? I mean the guy before spun a rod bearing so this is kind of my project car and I was wondering if its possible to clean out those external coolers if any metal got inside. Thanks!
I am doing a rebuild and I have searched NPR on tuners and it seems like mostly good replies that say people like their products. I have heard that NPR makes the original 4g63t pistons/rings. Is this true? No dealer has ever given me a straight answer. Thanks!
Here are pics from the 6 bolt I have which spun a bearing. Cylinder wall pics vvThis engine (above) "ran" but had rod knock so I only started it up for a few seconds to listen.Here are more recent pics I guess of the red short block I was looking at.Just...
I was planning on rebuilding my other 6 bolt that has a spun rod bearing it (came with the car), since i have another crank and set of rods. Or I was going to buy a running one. On my rebuild I was thinking MLS HG and I was hoping I could re-use the pistons from the old 6 bolt.. I'll get pics of...
I was thinking about buying it to put a head on it. But under the condition that it was run-able.. which it appears to be not. Thanks guys.Also at BoredDSM, what pistons would you suggest in a rebuild project? Thanks
Hey wondering if this block needs to be machined before putting a head on and running it. My concern is the cylinder walls. I'm just not sure if they will clear up after running or not run at all. Thanks. Pics vv
I've actually had this happen to me before after swapping an engine in my old 2g. The pedal would go about halfway down and then stick to the floor. The first thing I would suggest you check is the master cylinder. Crawl in upsidedown underneath your dash and look up by the clutch pedal with a...
I was wondering where everyone has taken their 6 bolt rods to get machined for 2g pistons. My local toolmaker doesn't feel comfortable doing it because of the amount of precision and accuracy needed (mostly keeping the crank bore and the wrist pin bore on the EXACT same plane), and all the local...
Looking for a running 6 bolt in des moines/ames area. I can meet halfway for most places in Iowa. I'm also from northeast Iowa so anywhere up there works too. Let me know and we can work out a price, thanks.
My plan was to rebuild this engine to stock and try to keep costs low. The whole block has just around 100k miles on it.What would you project this might cost on average if you have any idea? Thanks
I have a spare 7 bolt that has been sitting in my garage for some time and I have decided to start the rebuild on it. The engine originally spun a rod bearing and started knocking. I took the head off today and snapped some pictures of the pistons and cylinder walls to see what you guys think...
I was wondering if anyone here had used a netbook for datalogging on a 2g. I have an asus eeepc 1005ha. I have USB and a VGA port but that seems to be about it. Has anyone done this with a cable and software? (I was thinking possibly ECMLink's diagnostics cable) Thanks
Basically I have 3 12 inch subs which are rated at the following.8 ohms
150 RMS
400 PeakThey are wired in parallel so 2.67ohms. Basically I can't seem to find a suitable amp for my application. I usually go to sonicelectronix.com for my stuff. Anyone know exactly what I need? Or an amp...
I don't get it, I replaced my master with a brand new one as well as bled the clutch for at least a half an hour now. And my clutch pedal is STILL stuck on the floor. Here is a video of what I mean by "stuck on the floor". Thanks.<embed width="448" height="361"...
My clutch pedal is stuck on the floor. I have not driven my car in some time, and just went through an engine swap with a 41k mile donor engine with the factory clutch included on the engine, and it looked to be in very good condition. Basically what happens is I push the clutch pedal down...
The budget is $1,500 in parts only, not labor since we are doing this on our own. Thanks for the info, I know for a fact that one of my rods has seen too much friction and will need to be replaced, the other 3 look good so far. Would a new set of rods/pistons from mitsubishi be alot cheaper then...
I spun a bearing not too long ago and it put scars on my crankshaft and on the inside of the rod. So basically I am forced to pull the engine and get the crankshaft turned and do a rebuild of the bottem end. Last time I checked my compression it was at 158 in every cylinder. So it sounds like my...

I dropped the oil which was fairly new and I noticed it is green. Like dark green/brown in color and has lines that seperate it into clumps on the surface. So basically I have coolant in my oil I'm geussing.
Well I was on my way out of town today and ended up following a semi for about 20 miles. About 15 minutes into the trip I was giong about 60 and all of a sudden my car felt like I hit the brakes or something because it dropped down to about 50. I didn't know what to think of it at first but when...
Been enjoying the nice weather the last two days and decided to drive the dsm around. Everything is great accept for a minor issue with the turn signals. I noticed that my left turn signal blinks approximately twice as fast as my right one. But from inspecting the lights when switched on it...
I removed my door woofers since they won't be heard once I have my 12's in the rear of my car. So I put tweeters in up in the dash at the factory location. I was going to wire them up using the factory amp wiring harness under the passenger seat. But I have searched and can't find any real...
Well, i got my rear solid motor mount installed and on the car, but my front one is being a pill. If I bolt it to the chassis and go to do the hole, the bracket won't line up unless I lift the engine (well, duh :P). But anyways, I cannot find a way to lift the engine to meet the bracket this way...
Hey, I have a tubular manifold, I BELIEVE it is a punishment racing budget manifold they sold awhile back. Though I am not sure, I bought it used. It's not exactly the prettiest at the moment but I could care less. What I do care about is that it has a tiny air leak near the collector. Now, I...
UPDATE:Well we went ahead and started on the mounts. My front one seems to be bent beyond use for an insert so we are going to re-create it tomarrow out of steel stock and then machine an aluminum insert for that one as well. For now I have pictures of how the rear one turned out. Let me...
Although I was going to reroute my power wire anyways, what exactly is it that makes the wire going through that location so dangerous as to blow fuses and catch your car on fire? Isn't it virtually the same as running it thruogh the firewall and under your carpet other than it doesn't look as nice?
I figured this was kind of a noob question :p But I was pulling things off the car to get to my rear motor mount and I noticed a vacuum hose looking deal going into my cabin and I don't know where it plugs into or what its for. Heres pictures if anyone has any idea. It goes into the dash way up...
Well I am pulling off my front and rear motor mounts and when i got the front one off and took it inside I noticed that it just doesn't look right to me.. unless its just me. What do you guys think? Is it bent? If so is it reshapeable/re-useable? I was going to put aluminum solid mounts inside...
I am not looking to make money with any parts I make myself. Especially something I have not even road tested and abused yet. I am only looking for ways to better my own car. Although it may sound silly, freak accidents do happen (even with solid chunks of aircraft grade aluminum), and to add to...
Well. I don't really understand whats going on or what could cause this, or if its just a wierd coincidence but heres the story.I had my car jacked up for about a week or so in the front doing various things. After the week or so I dropped my car and everything looked fine, even the tires. I...
Then mine don't work. However, where are the stock actuators located? When I press the button nothign happens and the left and right doors don't lock at the same time as each other when i flip the switch over. However there is a 10A fuse i believe for the locks that when installed ill make the...
Well, i have searched on here in the past for keyless entry. And since my interior is all out of my car for extensive cleaning it exposed alot of stuff. While i was putting in my shifter and replacing some things I remembered hearing someplace on here about the keyless entry thing being located...
Yea I looked at that before making the thread, they look great! I will be able to make a set of those very easily.Thanks for the input that will make things alot easier letting it sit on two mounts!:rocks:
Being on a fwd I am always striving to make getting off the line easier, so I thought about some motor mounts. I have a buddy who works at a machine shop and we have made several parts now out of 7075 t6 alum. Since we can do pretty much anything for very cheap. I thought about doing solid 7075...
Nice sneakers :P, is that you?I really like the idea of doing the black mouth around the fmic and also when people do it around the fog lights it looks really good. Sometimes makes me wish my car wasn't already black. So were you going to paint that area yourself?
Wow thats pretty crazy. I think the following would help if you could answer.Do you have any proof that you purchased it?
Were you paying his business or the bank for the car?
Is it all payed off or were you still making payments?
Lol.ROFLSearching would have probably answered all of your questions. When it comes to the inner diameter of things the general rule is that bigger is better. To an extent. You can overkill this though. Idle and Redline won't be changed by your basic bolt-ons. Throttle response would...
Well I just recently removed my carpet from my car and turned it from dusty dirty brown to brand new looking grey with some serious scrubbing and alot of simple green. So I figured I would help any way I could to make it last and I found my old floor mats in the basement which were just as...
I was planning on fabbing up my own heat shield for my exhaust manifold since it would be cheap and beneficial. What would be the best metal to use for this in terms of keeping the heat in and doing its job the best? Or is there something reasonable thats even better than metal?Also, I...
I think someone is over reacting.And as for your earlier post about toasting a bearing needing a complete rebuild period. If that is true then alot of certified mechanics have lied to me, but maybe you are right. This guy probably did the wrong thing here by running on it while it was...
