Thanks for the quick post crimsondragon! Everything is rusted together in the wheel hub. I was ran off the freeway and slammed into a wire guard rail after bouncing off a drainage ditch. So then the car sat for five years while slowly being pieced back together haha Just now getting around to...
Hey guys. I finally got the awd 2g to the shop to do some brake work and a ton of stuff is rusted and its been a mess. I've tried looking at diagrams but I can't seem to find part numbers anywhere. I'm looking for the rear knuckles and full axle cv. Any help with a diagram or place to get parts...
I was going to go with DSM link with maybe 750cc injectors. I just painted the whole car like a month ago so I would hate to have to take it back after cutting the front up for a FMIC. How much do you usually have to cut with say a Greddy or Apexi? I've never done that before so I'd hate to have...
Hey guys. Finally got the car put back together and back from the paint booth. I didn't cut up the front end for a fmic so what options do I have if I go with the FP t-28 turbo? I've heard of putting supra smic but I dont want it looking all ghetto and hanging out infront of the tire. If I throw...
Hmm I'll look into that. I was looking at some of the 16g and there are so many of them out there now haha Last time I was looking everyone just said do the Evo III but there are a lot more options now it seems.
Bmoha - how much power you putting down? Enough to keep up with a lightly modified evo/sti (exhaust, intake, and boost controller)? With my current mods I get put into a SM class with S4, sti, and evos. While I'm out there to just have fun I would like to be a little competitive haha
hey guys. I just moved to Charleston... but the car is in Indiana getting some paint. Any local hangouts around here? I saw a few STi's and some civic over at the K Mart off Savannah Highway with hoods up but thats it.
I'm 6'2" and I gained enough clearance by removing the headliner which does give you a few inches. One thing though if you don't have a racing seat and harness to keep you snug when you make a hard right turn your head may hit the tab over the window. I took black electrical tape and ran it...
If I jumped from the FP t28 to a 16g which one is hands down the best? I'll give up a little lag for a more powerful punch to get me into the lightly modified sti/evo speed range.
I was thinking fuel system just because when I put the pedal down all the way and the boost builds it sounds like it cuts off and make blips and my bud who was following behind me says I shoot flames when this happens. Last I checked I was getting 12 mpg so I'm thinking I'm dumping tons of fuel...
Hey guys. It's been ages since I been on here and I'm finally getting my talon shipped down to where I live but it will be going to a paint booth first. The engine, turbo/inter, and fuel system is still stock. I was looking to get a fmic or ssmic and go with a t28 turbo for autocrossing but now...
Yea. I'm not in the state to add any parts so it's going to have to go to a shop that install. I would prefer to have a bolt on job other than a custom job. You know how shops like to charge a lot for custom work and it always takes them longer than needed haha. Thats kinda why I'm leaning away...
Yea that set up looks terrible haha I would hate to have a nice painted car and a ghetto sidemount with stuff all hanging out. There has to be a front mount that can be put in place without losing any power and still look clean. I will be putting on a 99 front end.
If I go with a side mount I have to cut up that whole side and not run with the plastic in the wheel well right?
It will be strictly an autocross car. I have the lifted jeep for dd.
Hey guys. I'm getting the car painted in about a month and would like to have my front mount installed by then so I wont have to cut it up after its been painted. I'm building a strictly autocross car. I'm already in a street modified class so I can put whatever I want on the car. I still have...
Ah ok. Must have just been the place where I went to race at. It wasn't a points race so that could be why they were relaxed. Thanks for the info guys. Looks like I'll just replace the quarter glass with oem and not go the vent route... my accident popped out the passenger quarter window so...
O Really? I just ran in Ohio and we didn't have that rule when I was out... but at the same time it did rain on us half the time we were out on the track so maybe they didn't enforce it. This is my first year autocrossing the car has been down for about 5 years and finally everything is in full...
I run with my windows cracked unless it's raining. I thought you should have them rolled up though so it reduces drag on the car. Or is the drag not noticable enough to make a difference? Isn't that why your car (Snowborder714) has tape all over the cracks on your car? You want the least amount...
I'm removing my AC and was wondering how I can help keep cool when autocrossing? I will be running a CF rear deck with a Lexan or whatever they call it to reduce weight. I was thinking of removing the rear quarter glass and placing vents there and maybe doing a roof scoop? yea yea lame F&F...
There was a guy on here that had a really sweet looking white eclipse with a cf hood and black roof. Anyone have a photo along those lines? I have a cf hood a rear deck and was thinking of keeping my roof black but I wanna see photos first of colored bottoms and black tops haha
Ouch! haha Yea I was ran off the freeway about 5ish years ago and totaled the car but never claimed it so I have been slowly replacing everything. Since then I bought a Jeep so taking a year or so to fix it right won't be a problem. I think the car has been driven like 1000 miles since the...
So... It's been a few years since I've had the car running good and now I'm moving so it needs to get painted now! haha I remember years ago there was a guy who had a white eclipse with a black roof and gold rims and it looked sweet anyone remember that car or has a similar car? I have a cf hood...
Yea cause I'm gutting the interior and have removed the headliner already. I needed the extra clearance for my helmet when I autocross. I have a family member who is a custom car builder/painter and he's fixing some rust and repainting the car for pennies I just have to buy the paint and help...
I was also wondering if I can upgrade the engine and all that without touching the turbo system? I want to upgrade to a T-28 I just need to get it painted and engine rebuilt first.
I'm looking to paint my car here soon and get all of my carbon fiber put on. I was thinking of getting everything painted the interior and engine bay. Would it be easier to have my engine rebuild while getting it painted? They have to pull the engine while they do the rebuild right?
The car hasn't been out on the road for a long time so I will be getting the camber and all that readujusted. What should it set it at? Any suggestions?
So it's warm again so time to put the Jeep away and pull the car back out. I registered for an autocross event next weekend and I wasn't sure if there is anything else I can do to my car fairly cheap and fast by then. These are my current mods. Thanks guys. By the way I'm a 2g tsi awdTein...
What mods are you running with it? I'll probably replace the turbo and get a boost controller at the same time. I'm looking for high low/mid range power for autocross and a little more power than stock for the strip.
Hey guys. It's been a while since i've been on here. I decided to put the Jeep aside and get back to the talon. What is the best autocross turbo I should be running? I have the basics: full exhaust, air intake, bov, upper intercooler pipes, and plugs/wires. I would like to keep the stock side...
Hey. I am going to replace the quarter windows on my car and was just wondering if anyone had a photo of what the car looks like without the glass in. From what I remember they have a small lip where the glue is placed right? Thanks!

Ah ok. So I need to go out get new injectors, boost controller, boost gauge, wide band, dsmlink, and 5bar map sensor to get dsmlink up and going and tuned correctly? Thank you for all the help.
What all should I get when I buy V3? Should I get just the Dsmlink? or get Dsmlink with injectors or anything else? I will most likely be running a FP T28 turbo in a year or so. Thanks
Ok thanks thats what I was wanting to know. Is it worth it to get it now or wait. Now can I save different maps on the DSMlink and switch them while I am driving? Like have a set up for driving to school then have another one set for the track?
Hey guys. I have a quick questions. I have light power mods on my car like intake, intercooler pipes, radiator, bov (vented to atmo), exhaust and that's about it but I am getting a real nasty MPG. Will DSMlink be worth my money now to help try to fix my problem or should I wait to get it till I...
I have a -1.2 camber in the front and -.6 in the rear right now I believe. As for the tires I got the proxes 4s for all around use so ill look into the Falkens when I get my light weight rims. I was thinkin of going with something by Gramlight. As for the rotors, I already have slotted cross...
