It would be really sweet to have a write up on this. From what I understand you just have to hog out the inside of the shift paddle assembly to fit over our clock spring. You need longer bolts/screws as well. Obviously need to trim the plastic column pieces and wire it in. When ever I get...
Would you happen to know what the different colors mean in that database? Some are green, blue, red ectPretty exciting, I just bought a a Talon that was advertised as a 97, and it turns out it's actually a 98 on the title. I found it in that registry.If the order is correct, my car is the...
Well someone forgot to tell the guy I just bought another talon from... Still plenty of good dsm's going for cheap still.1997 TSi AWD 5sp 107k 3 owner car, all stock (1g bov and 14b) for 5500$Be on the lookout for another build thread soon!
I prefer 45 series tires. I feel the height of the 40 series are too low.Why didnt you go wider on the tire?Either way the rims look alot better then the ones in your avatar. You need to change it now!
Im DDing a talon and It has been very good to me. My weekend/track car used to be my DD and it never let me down once eiter.Id buy a stock one. Sounds like this kid modified it a bit.Id pass up this one, but dont let these guys scare you. dsm's are great and once the bug bites you your...
Yeah I hope you dont plan on driving in the winter with those tires, youd be better off with drag slicks.But for the price I wouldnt complain either. Good find
Glad someone is still fallowing this. I wish I could move this to the build journels, maybe more would see it.But yes I chose the HTA68. I sold the 50 trim and 20g.But Im also making a Frankenstien turbo, my own little beast, just in case the hta doesnt perform how I hope.Today Im...
Minor update:Well the build is still at a stand still. The talon is the daily driver, so I dont have any chance to tear shit apart. I sold the clean 1g I bought.Just a bit of a new part list and a important turbo decision question!I pieced together my 6AN tank to rail feed. With the...
Ray man hows it going?!?! Hows the Spyder doing?So back on the suspension topic. What if I went with konis and then a lowering spring? I dont want anything more then 1.5 drop, as I scrape on everything as it is already. I also want a heavy spring rate. From research the tein springs are rather...
Wish I could change the title for you guys haha as im not in highschool anymore and Im not poor anymore either. Living at home and working gives me the chance to blow pay check after pay check on my car. After suspension is done Im saving money.On the subject of suspension, I need some...
Sup fellas, I got a little update. More of a parts update.After reading all the reviews, I was sold. I picked up an XTD stage 4 clutch 2300pp and solid 6 puckSold my used 850cc Injectors and used that money to buy some new precision 1200cc Injectors. Need lots of fuel for e85 and that...
Just be patient. This has happened to me multiple times when looking for my 1g. Then the stars aligned and the perfect car for the perfect price fell into my lap.Dont rush things. You will settle for less when you do this.
Diesel trucks are the shit. I dont get how they are the new ricers at all. They dont had show parts to make them look fast. Alot of the time they spend more money on their trucks then any average dsmer does on their car. A clean duramax with a 6inch lift and some bolt ons wins my vote over...
Then obviously you havnt read any reviews on XTD clutcheshttp://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/365181-xtd-stage-4-clutch-good-bad.htmlI chose the stage 4 (2300PP) with 6 puck unsprung. Installing it this winter. Ive herd nothing but good about it.I chose that over my ACT 2600 I...
Hate to see a DSM parted out because of the previous owner. Seems you have the know how, I think you should give it a shot. I would put on a know working turbo head on that thing. Sounds like theres where your issues are.Any of those 16gs blown? Im in the market for a blown 16 or 20g.
I think you should go with a vibrant dual tip muffler. I dont care for the angle on yours now.Just get rims that are completely black and that is the sexiest vr4 ive ever seen. I dont dig chrome lips at all.
Mine is def v3 but one of my other favorites are poly shifter base bushings, aluminum solid shifter cable bushings and redline mt90 really really changed the feel of my car. I no longer miss a single shift.
Thats the thing about UFO's and ghost stories. It takes a person, some one who is connected with themselfs to understand and feel the way one does when they experiences something. I can tell just by what some of you write that your not that way.Now here is a story my mom and her sisters have...
I know this is mostly about ghosts and what not, but I thought Id throw this into the mix.What do you guys think of this video?YouTube - ‪If You Dont Believe Watch This- Recent Mass UFO Sightings 2011‬‏
I wish I had that skill. To reply to a bunch of threads at once, but not actually write anything.Unless mods erased what he said already. I dont know though.
Its actually OBX. It has a lifetime warranty so thats what sold me. I couldnt find an affordable DSM flanged manifold with ext. wastegate provisions. I got it for 205 shipped so I thought Id give it a try. The welds look really solid, only complaint this far is the flange for the wastegate isnt...
Thanks guys I really appreciate the positive feedback!Did a few things to the Talon. Installed aluminum solid shifter cable bushings, and finally installed my fuellab AFPR. Since the AFPR is in a put in the wally 255 as well.I picked up a 1g Talon TSi AWD for the daily driver. 102k 6...
Its not that I hate auto's its just the only dsm's ive owned were 5 speed so its a complete change. I know nothing about auto's and what can be done to hold more power.Ive always said I was going to have a auto 1g drag car. I dont even know how to use the over drive.I cleaned the inside...
Yesterday I brought home a new dsm to play with her younger sister (97)She is a 6bolt/ 4bolt combo. Only thing is its auto which stinks. Ive been looking for a DD, and after looking at many beeters I decided to save a little bit more money and get something nicer. I got her for 1500.92...
He got it custom made, I cant remember where though. I remember him saying it in a thread of his. Probably a thread of him showing off how sexy his car is.... that son of a gun.
For 170 bucks at harbor freight it is a great deal. Im holding off on tools because next year I get a huge discount on tools at school.And maybe it just you. I cant tell if its leaning towards the right, I might have to check my motor mounts
A little update:Well I just graduated High school! Feels good. For a graduation present I got a tool box (:So Ive changed turbos 3 times in the past 2 months. First I had a big boost leak behind the compressor housing. Bought another 14b and threw it on. I was still having boost...
This is a great thread idea phunny! I think you should start a new thread just for this, have everyone post there first few posts after joining. It would be hilarious!
Be carefull. It looks like theres an aftermarket alarm. Depending on who did it, that could mean a messed up wiring harness. And in the pictures there is like bottles of something in the passenger corner in the engine bay.
For those of you who really enjoy movies, for what they are watch 9th company on netflix.Its a russian film with english subtitles, but i really really liked it. I couldnt understand what they were saying, but I still bonded with the characters. Give 9th company a shot, its on the watch it now...
Wernt you ^^ the guy defending a supporting freelancer selling a 3 pod gauge cluster for 110 bucks??Make up your mind budOne time I was selling a HKS BOV and a guy asked me if I would trade for one of those electric cigarets. I delclined haha
You guys need to stop being dicks. Dont reply to a thread unless your honestly helping the OP.OP I would hire a lawyer. They can get expensive but they will get the most work/money out of it.
Do the ten dollar home depot front lip. My friend did it to his evo and it suprisingly looks really good. If I had an eclipse bumper I would do it, but on talons a front lip looks goofy.
Porting helps to extent. It helps the top end a little. Spool up is a tad bit slower.A great port job will angle in, like a funnel to increase the velocity of gases towards the turbine. I do it on every turbo I put on my car. Sometimes if theres rough spots and scratches it causes hot spots...
