Swapped out the Sparco steering wheel for an OEM 1G Talon one! Woo! Also moved the gauges from various spots in the interior to a 3 pillar pod. Now I just need to get rid of these seats, man...

I pondered getting a 1g steering wheel a couple years ago cuz I liked how it looked. Where did you find one?

I traded a moderator here my Sparco steering wheel for his OEM one. There was a couple more guys that reached out wanting to sell me theirs, but they were leather wrapped. I wanted the unwrapped/plastic one that wouldn't patch/tear apart with age.

I'd 100% post up a WTB ad here. Plenty of guys have one they wanna sell.

 

[DreamChaser7]

Got one but never gonna sell!
I would have to level those gauges with eye level Cory. Just sayin,
And ya those seats gotta go!

100% agreed. They're not mounted up, everything was just kinda loose fit so I could see how it was gonna go together and where the wires need to be routed. Once I mount them for good I'll adjust them to make sure they're level and good.

 

[import solutions]

I do dsm stuff daily

Replaced a valve cover gasket and PCV valve. Took out the factory head unit as it barely worked and ensured that the new one will fit without a install kit. I have to wait for the wiring harness to come in before I actually install it. I took out the rear speakers that no longer work and will be replacing when they make it in as well.

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

I FINISHED my project
It starts, runs and has its wheels back on, ready to drive out of the shop!
Lots of tuning/break in stuff left but.....I FINISHED!!!

Always love what you post Marty... Wish I had that garage to work in.

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

Thank you Larry, I wish I were closer to a lot of fellow members so we could ALL enjoy the shop! It is a blessing!

I never thought I would ever own black leather interior for a 1G ever. So stoked for this. Infinitely better than "racing" seats, a steering wheel the size of an appetizer plate, and some janky "racing" seatbelts that were bolted to the seat. Lol.


Also: Congrats Marty! Doesn't it feel amazing?

Glad you finally found some. I wouldn’t mind some black leather either. And yah traffic there is the worst. I hate when I have to drive there for work sometimes!

Got the 2.5" inlet to 3" downpipe and 3" exhaust all the way out installed today. Went with this 3" inlet and dual 3" outlet muffler to look as close to stock as possible.

[Widgmaster]

Why is that pipe under the real axle...........should it not be over top for ground clearance?

 

[Bigmike4g63t]

After I saw this picture myself I had to get on my knees to look at it bc from the picture it looked like it was about touching the ground. It was just the angle of the picture though.

 

[b00st3d]

Started getting things installed over the weekend.

I DROVE my car for the first time in 6 years. Needs alot of fine tuning but it got me down the road and back. I will admit, I killed it 3 times getting it out of the shop and to the road.....that new twin disk is a tricky piece to work with, especially if you haven't got the pedal adjusted yet (because you haven't driven it yet). It is either ENGAGED or DISENGAGED, that is it. During my idle tune adjusting session, the fans came on and off as they should and when I did go drive, I didn't notice the 3rd gear grind going into gear as it used to (crossing my fingers on that one).
I am just happy I was able to drive it again, now to tune it good enough to get groceries or taunt others again.

I admit, I'm antsy to drive mine too. It's been so long since I've driven a 1G.

I picked up a 92 6bolt 4 bolt rear end talon on Saturday I finished unloading the motor from the back of my truck today and got it on a engine stand. I did inventory on all of the parts I got with it. A few things are missing that I can see. I will need new front fenders. I also got to figure out why the doors don’t open. I can open the drivers door from the inside only. I have to go through the hatch.
Parts that I will need to put it back together are.
Flywheel
Clutch
Cas
Mas air sensor
Exhaust manifold
Turbo
Water pump pulley
Intercooler piping
Air cleaner
Intake tube
Throttle body elbow
BOV
Wheel center caps x3
Case for 91-94 ECU
Fuel rail spacers and bolts
J pipe
Passenger side rear half moon shaped strut tower plastic cover
Drivers side door belt molding.

Stripped the new front caliper, then when installing the old caliper the brake line crumbled/broke in half in my hands. It's a cheap/no-name braided line, so now I'm gonna just order a complete goodrich set to replace it, because if one broke like that(I was not cranking on it, at all), not taking chances with the others while driving no less. Ironically though, the new bigger thread bolts threaded into my old caliper that I thought was stripped. Soooo, it was a cloud with a nice silver lining.

From there, decided to rewire the Fuel Pump and replace the t-case bolts.

Yes that's an allen headed bolt with like 5 thick AF washers to space it out properly. and yes, there is one bolt completely missing(wasn't installed).

Good old FP rewire. The custom fuel line holders that are under the car were perfectly spaced juuuust enough for this new power wire to slip in and stay nice and tight. No zipties required, and it's all hidden behind the stock panel. Once I fab a new trunk floor it'll all be even more nice and hidden. Desperately need to vacuum it but meh, that's a job for later.
