    I need the 2 rear drain tubes that run to the quarters
  4. Goddamnitsomuch

    Yeah bud the freezing/lifting head is a bit far fetched, it would crack something else well before that. The oil will smell like gas with the misfire due to cylinder washing from unburnt fuel. You know theres the testers to see what temp your coolant is good for yes? Theyre cheap and easy, in...

    The cam trigger wheel stuff off the 95 was a little weird it was a 6 bolt swap, with the kiggly crank trigger, and a 97-99 CAS. So no Cam trigger stuff but I am selling the Kiggly trigger wheel. I will look at what pigtails are still there, I do have a few green top 1G CASs if you need any, and...

    I have the stock diff out of 1722. If you dont have the 4ws rod ends hooked up it should be fine yes?
  9. WTB: 90 turbo water pipe Vancouver Washington

    Is there any difference from a 91-94 dsm pipe? I have had a 90 engine and they seemed the same. I have a water pipe if you need it, just need to be sure its right for you.
  10. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    So tonight heres where we are at- I had to tidy up the bottom end with an oil pan gasket, and to decide whether I could use the crank scraper or not with the main girdle.It turned out I could use part of it with a little modding. I had to do some trimming, but it will definitely help and be...

  13. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    Alright, got the block back from the machine shop! So I went on through it with the normal assembly routine. It was really nice not having to file rings since it was already done and on the pistons. First step was making sure the main clearances looked goodNow if you didnt see this engines...
  14. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    Thank you! So update time, I ran the car a few more times at the track until it was closing time, it did well for what it is with more high 11s at the low 120s.

    Quoting G: So much fail.DSM life? lol
  16. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    Its part of the drain plug. If I snagged it on anything Id be doing something I shouldnt anyways, look how high it is compared to exhaust.
  17. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    So where are we now....I upgraded to a slightly better alternator, it was another $56 over the one that went bad, since all in all this was the third one I have blown in my dsm life. Put that in and did some runs in around town before I took another go at the track. First pass it spun a lot...
  18. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    So still keepin on with this one... after its passes at the track I was getting some spark blowout, so did new BPR7s gapped down to .02, and ran it around on pump gas for a while to keep it on the road while I worked on it. I had to address some exhaust leaks, here you will notice the turbine...

    There's an autox track, but they don't work together, different people and events. Here's a good shot of it click
  20. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    Well her first track day went great. I took the feed line off, pumped out the gas, put in E85, and just like my 1G would it put me to E45 with the remaining stuff in the tank. I turned up boost slightly, and headed to the track. Here is a vid of the nights events. clickThe car was around 25...
  21. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    So I was maxed on boost at the 20psi so I pulled the wastegate off, thinking I needed more spring, saw this plug with the thread sealant on it was missing, so I had a big boost leak at the wastegate that was venting pressure at the top of the spring. I didnt change springs just fixed the leak...
  22. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    "sleeper"... So yeah until I get the cooling issues under control and get a hood on it, I dont think Im pulling anything over anyone.The pump gas tune is going well... I may have to go stiffer on the wastegate setup, but thats mostly for the future E85 plans.
  23. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    For sure come check it out! Only 1/4 track in this area, very long uphill shutoff, it gets the job done!
  24. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    We have a cars & coffee here too, but its been kind of slow this year. The track day is actually a cars & coffee thing, at champion raceway, gates open 5 racing at 7pm, Test n tune only, $25. It usually brings a good turnout because 1 not waiting for elimination rounds and 2 its $10 cheaper. I...

  26. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    Did a lot of everything tonight, mostly welding. I welded up the battery tie down, tacked up an exhaust flange and extended the exhaust to the rear end, realized no parts stores have U bends in stock, so stopped there, hung it all on the hangers, and dropped it to finish weld it all. Also took...
  27. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    First order of business tonight, was fixing this AC plug, the wires were badly frayed and exposed, so solder, heatshrink.Then since I figured I had a rack I could do some exhaust work, but quickly realized I needed a flange where I ended last time I was doing exhaust work. I called the...
  28. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    Well I was amazed I got so much done last night, with two of my buddies helping we were able to knock out a lot of things on the list! While I did wiring on the gauges, my buddy did rear seatbelts, and another did wire mesh for a radiator guard as well as upper support. I'm equally amazed I only...

  30. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    Already working on it, filled out the contact form last night. It's not like it's my daily or anything so I can afford to have it down for a bit, cause yeah who knows how they are right now, could be rusted inside from E85, who the hell knows. I drove the thing weekly so it's pretty...
  31. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    Nice dude! Thanks for the props guys. Sorry for not an update for a bit... I kinda decided to cheat on the galant for a weekend, my supra has been on a stock turbo, and if you know anything about the CT26 you would understand my pain, think of a T25. So I threw together another Holset setup...

  33. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    Big things tonight! First of all, the 2G is gone to a good home, and my summer stimulus package is in effect! So I bought some windshield polyurethane, scraped all the old glue off the old window, and glued that thing in. Next, I installed the trunk lid. Unfortunately, even with the springs put...
  34. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    Oh yeah, havent had to push the car since December. Check page 2, its got some stuff
  37. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    I expected something major like that for it to just not have anything work, first thing I jumped to was fuses/relays, they are good but I wasnt seeing power at the actual tail lights when I had them on, I checked a few grounds and they were good. Was limited on what I could do since the...
  38. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    So I made some progress, but I still feel like this update is full of fail.

    My daily thread bump lol. I light sanded parts of the sealer with 800, sprayed base, then I ran out of clear, at the worst possible time (money wise) if this talon doesn't sell soon Im gonna be in trouble. If anyone wants this clean ass Talon please give me a holler! I literally took change...

    Yeah, K falls is actually where I go for most of my pick n pull parts...their prices are great and selection is good, they had the black VR4 that I got all my body panels off of.So my offerings this time around... I had some runs on the right quarter, and I knew they'd be a bit of a pain on...

  45. 1722/2000 burn victim rescue

    So...I kind of hit a roadblock on the car. I had in primer surfacer, which would be a water barrier, but I couldn't sand into it until I was ready for primer sealer, and after sealer I only have a 2 day window before painting, which I couldn't afford paint yet. So I jumped onto my 2G Talon and...

    Todays offering to *THAT ASS* I painted the top of the deck area, so naturally the underside came next. This was more of a chore as you can imagine. Heat goes up so a lot of this stuff is rusty and full of soot. I just had to dive in and make it happen.Then I got tired of...
