Not much of update but Today the end clutches show up, so I will be installing them in a couple of days, I hope to have time next weekI will update the thread once I install the end clutch.
I forgot to mention, I drove the car andI still feel the transmission acting up when putting into gear.I ordered a IPT end clutch, we’ll see if that cures the problem, besides the hesitation when puti y ito gear all feels ok, but like I mention earlier, I have no experience with auto...
Thanks I try to update the thread but now in my daughters hand, I won’t be able to work on it so often.
The screw caps are originals, I new that with my first DSM, it was a second owner and was unmolested in stock form.I used to go to the junkyard so often and get all of the caps and screw...
Update.
Is being a long time since I work on the car and today I took it off my daughters hands to do a maintenance.She called me saying the driver side door doesn’t opens from the outside, it only open from the inside,.I removed the handle and found an aftermarket still bracket ( the one...
What’s the total price on coating all the bolts including the sand blasting?I was thinking on buying a kit to do it my self but I would rather pay to do it and not equating my time which I barely have time to work on my DD.
Update.The car went to my daughter’s hand all ready, so she owns it now, but I’ll be taking care of her still.The last thing I did to it was, fixing the brake noise, it end up being the brake pad hardware, I fixed the door switch and the valve cover leak, I just tightened the bolts and it...
Yea It’s just the transmission that I don’t trust jet.
It’s being really good but in the morning when is cold, it takes a bit to go forward, or better say it goes but very slow, like if there is not much oil pressure and once it warms up is completely gone.I just want her to take care of her...
A little update.I bought new rear brake pad hardware to replace them, but it end up to be the Wronge parts, because was to late I couldn’t return them, so I took the time and inspect every single part and did notes some shiny spots where the pads were moving, so I bend the taps a bit to...
Wow I’m speechless, that came out very good looking tire well.I love it, I really enjoy a thread when there is a lot of passion involved.Keep it up bro.
Update.I changed the Ebrake hardware on both sides.Here are some pics for the viewers.I clean all the area and I can see there is no rust around the surface so that makes me opt for painting it and prevent future rust.I hate to just paint all evenly, I like to paint parts...
Ok being a long time since I was working in the car, so an update of what’s going on.I was out of state working and I got some family problems, so I put the car on sale and was going to show it, once I was back home., Well I was forced to stay longer at my work and didn’t make it in time to...
Update.I replaced the passenger side wheel bearing and at the same time replaced the driver side axle boot, I know, I know, I had to do all the hazle just to replace the axle boot.Here is the driver side bearing.Here is the passenger side evidence.Here is the...
Updating the thread.I replaced the from driver side wheel bearing and discovered, the axle boot was pinched, I don’t know how that happened but I will replace the boot next week.Once I replaced the bearing, I replaced the abs O ring gear, (axle ring), so now I have a functional ABS System...
Little update, looks like my transmission. Is slipping, I can’t afford a rebuild at this time, but I have a spare manual transmission that I have being thinking in doing the swap, this is my dd, so for the moment I being thinking in welding a spare center differential and put it in the spare...
It’s being so long since I update this.I left to work and left the car to my sister to drive it which here car Brock, well 3 weeks later she called me saying the car some times stalls but besides that, everything was working ok.Yesterday I fixed her car and had my talon back. When I came...
I’ll keep an eye here and as soon I get the chance, For sure I will get one, I don’t think my EVO3 turbo will need more then a bigger SIMC.Keep up the build bro.
Nice you are keeping it stockish look.I’ll stay tune for updates.Im doing the same thing as you with my 2gb talon, stock look is my goal.Where did you find the Hahn SMIC, I have look all over the place with no luck.
I found a 95 talon fwd at the junkyard, it entered 3 days ago and I got most of the parts I needed to complete my car.I will update the thread later on, so keep tune.As mention, here are the parts I got.Here is the motor mount it’s a bit different then the one was on the car...
Yea plus once going through cleaning all the tight areas, All bolts will be handy to get them wire brash and keep them off rust and looking good:thumb:
Yes finally I figure it out, I will drive it like that for the moment,I don’t want to stress to much, thank you guys for fallowing the build.Update, I got a 2gb hoist In the mail it arrived yesterday.BIG THANKS TO 98 DSM WHO DONATED THE BRACKET and contribute to the build. I...
Updating.I still have the driver side brakes acting up and figure out, it’s the abs system that kicks in below 20 mph.
I went to clean up the abs sensor and I found what was the problem, the gear ring that goes around the axle broke 3 teeth, the abs is catching that and thinking the tire is...
No it’s not the wheel bearing. I just replace it with a new one and after replacing It, it was when all this happened.And thinking about it,I don’t think the sensor is bad because I haven’t get a code, all seems good (tacking about warning lights).
Well the only thing I did was to put the axle and the wheel bearing., OK, I did a lot of maintenance but concerning to the abs, the axle and wheel bearing was the only parts I change that are related to the abs.After doing all maintenance and swapping those parts it started doing that, that’s...
$200 for the evo 8 transmission ??? That’s a real deal, hope you get it fixed and get your money back, which I’m sure you willLOLWell, good to know you are an expert about transmission, I might do the rebuild myself when it comes the time, just to have a regular knowledge how the...
Yea you are right, I used to do that with the manual trans, I end up with 4 tranys and Tcases., After I moved in, I ended up selling them all because of the space,. Right now I have 2 3000 vr4 transmissions and Tcase, and 2 rear end of the same 3000gt and I don’t own a 3000 vr4:idontknow:I...
Hey bro, nice to hear she is running, I bet you were like a little kid with new toy:rocks:Than you is good to know about the transmission rebuild kit, I being thinking about it, but for now I have put quite a bit of time in it, I might enjoy it and may e later on, I will do the rebuild...
Update. After driving the car, there was a strange noise feeling when braking, si went and replaced all 4 brake pads But the problem persist, I might remove the abs system and keep it simple.Brakes were t to bad though. .
I clean and grease the guide pins and put all back together...
Update. Is running now.the only thing I did was to add the cranck sensor connector holder bracket or however you call it,( it holds the connector.)I modify the EBay Jpipe to be able to rout it well and use the stock intercollegiate down hose. It all came nice.I fixed the top...
Updating.
Not much did yesterday. Which the manifold is not ready., I install the middle timing cover.
The car came without the middle section and I source one, it’s used and cracked at one corner, so I fixed the crack, clean it up and install it.When removing the motor mount, I found out...
Is all what you need from a 2g? I live in fresno CAli but I’ll be in Parker next month (15) for work.
There are some junkyards here and there are some eclipses. They are not turbo but if you need anything from a non turbo that will fit your car, let me know, I can pull it of and take it with...
I’m cheap too, I just bought a J pipe for the tubo from EBAY, that them pipe is almost same diameter then my finger.LOLLOLLOLIt’s being along time that I stay away from EBay but some how, I ended up buying there again.:beatentodeath::beatentodeath::beatentodeath:But well, live and learn...
Another update.
I paint the battery tray which was really rusted, I really love the way it came up..
I install the battery and add the tie down which it didn’t have before, I still have to fix the body ground terminal, It’s in its last times and a new one is required.The car came with...
2ga is 95/96 and 2gb is 97/99. 2ga vs 2gb have slight different wiring and relays and you need to do some stuff a bit different in order to make them work when it comes to swap harness or ECUs.I would suggest to fix the O2 sensors first before anything which it can get some problems like the...
More updates.
I finally get to work in the front transmission mount, the center hole is to big for the bolt, so I went and add some sleeves to make it smaller to cut the play and make it a bit stif, you can see how wide is the hole compared to the bolt.I love how new hardware stands...
Here is how the rusty bolts/hardware looks like, but it feels good that is only the hardware whats rusted, and only the lower section of the complete car, the upper bolts and nuts from the underbody looks really clean. also the frame and complete structure is rust free which I love:D:D:D...
Update. I change the oil pan gasket, clean and dry everything very well, and like always, pics for the viewers.New bolts were installed all around the oil pan. I also install new bolts on the transmission oil pan and even the flywheel inspect plate (or however it’s called) has new bolts...
Yes, a good clean up will do the job.What originally was a regular transmission oil/filter change, became a massive nest of problem, one fallowing another., but overall, I’m more satisfied the way it is coming along, which I know what it has had so I can take care of it. And like we all know...
Update. Looks like the more I dig the more bad things I find.Cleaning the mess I found this.looks like the shaft teeth are no good, it’s like the teeth are shorter/smaller.I will have to source a good one to swap it out. But for the moment being, I will leave it as is.
Those are really nice guns. How big is the air compressor you are going to use? I have a small one and didn’t keep up, I paint some panels and it end up like wrinkle paint.
Update. Working on changing the AC compressor, I discover, the compressor has only 2 bolts holding it and they weren’t tight, so that makes me think be that cause of the intermittent clonk noise I had, I add two more bolts and bolt it down the way it should be, Im hope, the compressor didn’t...
Update.
It’s in, all came out good, here is a pic.Now it’s time to do a transmission oil change and filter., also now that I’m working in the engine bay, I will replace the AC compressor, it arrived today so tomorrow, I’ll puntito .The driver side wheel bearing is starting to make...
How long it stays on for? I have notes on the plastic restorer it gets to a month and still looks the same, obviously gets dusty but just swipe a towel and is good again and the greys look on the plastic becomes back to factory black.
Looks like it does the same thing, I google it and looks less messy, which is like clear, and this one is like white cream.I’ll get a battle and try it to see what’s the difference but it does looks easier to apply.
