Finished putting the engine bay back together after cleaning/painting. Went for a drive afterwards.....ran out of gas.

 

[Blurred Talon]

Trying to finish up my tuck harness.

 

[WES_393]

One of the hose ends between my rail and AFPR decided to seize up. The whole thing looked pretty rough so I decided to replace it. I went to a local place since the parts were cheap ($19 total) and seemed pretty decent. The hose is PTFE lined braided steel with some kind of rubber coating, and the fittings are coated black and swivel. I'm pretty happy with the end result. I'll be installing it today so we'll see how that goes.

With that said, I will never assemble PTFE hose ever again. At least not this kind. It was impossible to get the two halves of the fitting connected if the outer hose went a hair farther than the olive shoulder. The braids would get stuck between the threads and stop the socket from reaching the hose end. Next time I'll just get ProClassic stuff and be done in minutes rather than hours.

Still wrapping up the door trim and the bumpers. Purchased an unmolested full interior for street duty while I save up over the next year for the ridiculousness that is an LSR cage, 12 gallon coolant reservoir, fire suppression, etc.

What's the red and black plug on the rear of your bumper? Im not a huge fan of talons, but that car looks BEAUTIFUL.

 

[LandSpeed-DSM]

Those are charging lugs for the battery, because its in an armor box

This is an eclipse, but I actually like the talon front end from this model year. Suppose that doesn't matter though due to the aluminum mask I put on her..

 

[91-GS]

The pipes coming out of the hood... What are they? Biggest one is exhaust, right?

Can't believe this is the original paint. Looks too clean

 

[1990AWD]

Looks good Chris, cleaned up amazing.

Big pipe is 4" from the turbine outlet, the other two are wastegate dumps!

Thanks guys!

This has been 5 long years in the making, by comparison all my other 1Gs have been complete hoopties!

 

[DropSomeMoney]

Yes. Nice build! You ever going to run at the Byron drag strip?

Oh duh I knew that . I still like it

Byron is a bit of a hike for us, I am closer to GLD or Joliet.

Though I've heard track conditions can be better at Byron. I'll ask Devin when I see him at the end of the month.. he set his 2G AWD record there.

Smoothed out the volute of my .70 AR bep housing in preparation for ass hauling!

Not ported, just removing casting imperfections. It's smoother than the pic lets on baha.

Anyone have some tips to get an AWD transmission back up onto the engine? I just cannot find a way to get between the clutch and the front subframe. grrr

Are you doing this with the trans between your legs while sitting on the ground? Thats how i did it and it was a bi***. You just have to get it straight as possible and jimmy it in, a friend to tell you where things are from under the oil pan helps.
