[98talon420a]

thats what im thinking hopefully this weekend ill get into it again.i just dont know im kind of a noob when it comes to anything in the steering department. So ive been trying to do alot of research to find out what it could be.

Finally started looking for the oil leak to fix. I figured it was the cam seals, but just to be safe I went ahead and bought cam seals, oil pump gasket kit, oil pan gasket, timing belt(even though it has 350 miles on it once oil touches it cya), and oil and filter. Anyways ripped it apart and turns out the balance shaft gear decided to be a pos and some how strip the key/notch that holds the gear and ripped the bs seal. So needless to say I'm not making the mistake of leaving it in AGAIN, so bse kit is on the way. If anyone reads this always do the bse if you rebuild, I know it's been said many times but I'll say it again. I didn't listen and I got very lucky that the belt didn't fly off the floppy gear into my tbelt.

Looks awesome! Did you just find led bulbs to plug and play, or did you solder the diodes in by hand?

I degreased a portion of the enginebay, attempted to identify the vaccum lines via a diagram (that I don't know how to read) and prepared my workspace which currently sits a 95 mazda miata and my new 95 gsx

 

[Blurred Talon]

I wanted to work on some stuff but instead helped a friend pull the motor from his Evo 3.

 

[GSTdsm_97]

Maintenance, whether it needs it or not.

 

[Awesomewheeldrive]

Thought about my car a lot... Seeing that i dont have the money to send my block to get cleaned at the moment.... Man do i want to drive this thing

 

[Straycat]

Installed my cat-back and test pipe. 3in all the way back. What a wonderful deep sound, and pretty to boot!

 

[Leonthefaded]

Indentified the turbo as an ebay turbo, connected the vacuum lines correctly, and then had a badass GSX for about 5 minutes then i started to smell burning oil and guess what!!!! Turbo is no good now, started drinking and trying to resirc the screwed up crap under the hood of my baby, but I'm back to square one. Though about pulling the motor and just starting over with nothing in the engine bay cept what runs the motor but... no hoist

 

[Bud92gsx]

Modded a stock connector..But I messed it up when I tried yanking it out the first time..So I have another one i will mod..And get what I need..

 

[SmalltownDSMer]

Pulled all of the interior out to remove the sound system wiring and the amp out of the back. Of course the original owner (a good buddy of mine) were millionares and took it to the best people to have this stuff installed. I have never seen a system wired and hid so well. Got everything removed, Vacuumed, Carpet reinstalled along with seats and the rest of the interior.

Upon trying to start the car, It would try to kick over but just couldn't seem to stay going. When I removed the plugs they were pretty wet with gasoline and i could smell it the second I pulled them out. As well as being wet they were kind of pitch black. I swapped plugs and tried one more time with same result. Going to get new plugs in a little bit while I left the old plugs out to let the gasoline and whatever liquid evaporate from inside. I really think I am not getting spark. Going to check that in a min.
Thanks for reading.

*Edit- I just bought my car back and that's why I am trying to figure out why its not running.

Installed short route piping and swapped batteries since it wouldn't clear the throttle body elbow.

[dsm4superman]

Pulled my ecu trying to figure out my 1-4 cylinder no fire problem. Should have kept my 92 esi instead of this 95 tsi fwd

 

[1990AWD]

Diagnoised my no start issue as a bad ECU. Just gotta got back with my spare and see if it works.

 

[Achelea]

Um, located and rented a Chrystler harmonic balancer so I can pull the balancer off my 98 GS, (Jumped timing) and priced out master cylinder and brake booster, since my master cylinder said F U weds.
