  1. Anybody know this car or owner?

    Zach Roetker Vancouver WAclickclickGoing to go take a look at it on Saturday and was looking for additional info/details. Searched here but didn't find anythingBeen a long time since I've been on here...
  2. Autocross Setup

    Go back and look at the rules again as I think that the SP classes allow modification to the BOV (actually compressor bypass valve is a better description as it doesn't intentionally limit boost). Intake is open from the throttle body to the turbo and from the turbo to the MAS.I beleive you...
  3. Understeer

    Quoting dmj: How do I eliminate or at least reduce the amount of understeer in my Gvr4?How big of a front swaybar is recommended?You may be too late as I think Whiteline quit making the GVR-4 parts, but what you need are the front Whiteline offset caster bushings, some front camber plates...
  4. Bonneville Galant exposed

    I think they are the shim style, but it has been quite a while since I've seen them. You'd have to call Quinn at CRCO to confirm.MarkQuoting deluded: are those the ones with the nut style adjuster? i started out building L-series datsun engines in the '80s. learned to HATE that style of...
  5. Bonneville Galant exposed

    Concept Racing out in Idaho Falls has been making solid lash adjusters for a long time. It looks like most of their web page is down, but contact info is still up.Concept RacingNice work guys.Mark
  6. Code 44 Shenanigans

    Way back in the dark ages I had this problem with my GVR-4. If you can find all of the old talon digest archives you could probably find my posts there.I'd start with the ECU and make sure the caps have been changed and it is in good shape.Then I'd check the ignition power transistor (just...
  7. HOTBITS SHOCK DYNO DATA.....

    For those of us that are not shock engineers how about a quick primer on what the differences are between a good shock curve and a bad shock curve. The difference between regressive and digressive valving and why one is better than the other. High speed vs. low speed curves.First off, the...
  8. GVR4 wheel and tire Knowledge base!!!!

    Pivvay,Look at the tire and wheel chart and we'll work from there.The biggest problem I see is the 26" tire height for the slick as the stock tires are only 24" and change tall.The 8" tread width is not a problem as 8" x 25.4mm/inch = 203mm, well within what we can run. Even 9.5" width...
  9. Fuel Pump..

    Install the pump per the VFAQ for "mustang walbro pump in a DSM" This will save you a lot of headaches about the O-ring leaking and if you use the insulation wrap around the pump it is pretty quiet.With that big pump you will also likely need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Get a good...
  10. 4 ws Removal

    From my archives you can also use the following Earls fittings to block the steering rack: two each of the following: 14x1.5 to -6 AN adapters, PN 991954, and -6 AN caps.The easy way to get rid of the pump is to swap in a 4-bolt lsd rear...RRE has a VFAQ on how to weld up the trailing arm...
  11. "Tein Spirit"

    Check out:http://www.wtrscca.org/tech.htmfor some suspension tuning tips.Sometimes dialing out a little bit of understeer (a little bit of push is good on the street!) is just a matter of driving harder.Mark
  12. Factory Spec wheel alignment

    Harry,Without taking up an apprenticeship with a NASCAR team, buy a book called "How to Make Your Car Handle" by Fred Puhn. My local Barnes and Noble usually keeps a copy on the shelf, list price is around $20, usually found for less.Quite a bit of time is spent explaining all of the...
  13. Factory Spec wheel alignment

    Harry,I'd like to see the right and left sides more balanced, i.e., you should have nearly the same camber on the right as the left, both front and rear.I'd also like to see a little less toe in the rear.Where did your corner weights end up?Mark
  14. Factory Spec wheel alignment

    Harry,I couldn't find anything easily. Your best bet is to call Mike at DSS.For Order & Tech Calls: (805) 541-4483 Fax Number: (805) 541-7165Sorry,Mark
  15. Factory Spec wheel alignment

    Dook,Follow my original settings 1 to 1.5 degree of negative camber all 4 corners, zero toe at both ends. You shouldn't have any unusual tire wear at these settings. But, make sure you bounce the car between settings and double check them and use the TSB for the rear AWS.Harry,I'll dig...
  16. Factory Spec wheel alignment

    Harry, I don't think I'd change anything for normal street use. Open track settings fall between the street and autox settings. A car optimized for autox will be twitchy and jumpy on a larger, higher speed track.For as few miles as you put on your car, and if you are willing to put up with a...
  17. Wacky Fuel pressure

    The B&M unit that modifies the stock FPR is only able to *raise* the base fuel pressure not lower it.i.e., the B&M unit is worthless if you have an upgraded pump.Mark Rieb
  18. Boost gauge install pic..

    For you newbies, Ray H (along with Nate Pharr and Ron Gregory) is one of the members that has been playing with his GVR-4 since the original Talon Digest was started, and long before we ever had a separate GVR-4 playground.Ray did the Boost Gauge in the Dash mod back around 1995 or so and...

    If you really want a stroll down memory lane or to see just how far we have come, look for Ray's posts to the original talon digest.Mark Rieb
  20. Factory Spec wheel alignment

    You can get some negative camber from the stock suspension.Try the following for performance street driving. This should not be hard on tires, but if it is, add some toe *in*.Front camber: -1 to -1.5 degrees each side Front Caster: Non adjustable from the factory, but do yourself a favor...
  21. What was the MSRP for a 91-92 GVR4

    Here is my window sticker for my 1992, #334/1000I found some other papers stuffed in the owners manual, the car only had 18 miles on it when I signed the papers and I think I put 10 or so of those one during the test drive.I got the car out the door in California, including sales tax and...
  22. GVR-4 vs. EVO VIII

    Well, I do remember what the GVR-4 felt like when they are new. I'm one of the few that bought mine new off of the showroom floor in November of '91.I agree the EVO *has* to be better. The chassis is much stiffer and the suspension geometry is greatly revised. In the racing world, power is...
  23. GVR-4 vs. EVO VIII

    I really did this chart to try and figure out if I was trying to talk myself into or out of a new EVO.I'd really love to have a new EVO. But I refuse to pay $5,000 over list for one. I was also looking at what it would take to bring the GVR-4 up to EVO VIII spec's. The only thing that is...
  24. GVR-4 vs. EVO VIII

    In my spare time, I put together the following table comparing the GVR-4 and the EVO VIII. They are much closer than you think...You can find the .pdf file at the yahoogroup GVR4List http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/GVR4list/files/EVO%20VIII%20vs%20GVR-4/Lancer%20vs%20GVR-4%20comparo.pdf...
  25. fmic install pics

    I have the full RRE piping and IC kit with a 2g DEJON pipe. The BOV line doesn't line up and I had to kind of ghetto the installation with some flex tubing.To do this again, I'd buy the 2g MAS in a 1G car DEJON pipe and things should work pretty good.The BOV line issue is one of my many winter...
  26. Arospeed floor "strut" bar - does it fit? Harness bar

    If you don't have the bar electropolished (stay with a satin finish), I'm guessing that the harness bar will be more in the $200 range.Give me a chance to get home and try this on my own and I'll have a better idea of what it should cost.Mark Rieb Stuck in Utah til sometime in December...
  27. Arospeed floor "strut" bar - does it fit? Harness bar

    What you are looking for is called a Harness Bar.Something like this (from a WRX, but you get the idea): http://www.speedwaremotorsports.com/safety/hbars.asp. Look about half way down for the WRX bar. I think that if you don't completely polish them, you should be able to get one for much...
