Two nice cars and no Lesbaru in sight. Can you handle it?

I couldn't think of anything to burn you with on the noob thing, I'm too pumped to see this thing on the road that I'm actually fist pumping right now.

I'm sure it will come to you sooner or later. I figured others have made worse mistakes, so admitting this wouldn't be the end of the world.

FUCKING EMBED WON'T WORK, MATT, HUGHES, SCHEIDES, SOMEONE HELP HERE PLZ.

Lots of small problems after getting it initially started, tons of boost leaks from everywhere but it can run under its own power now!

Maybe Mike, Jesse, or one of the Chang's could chime in about the little issues it had.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi

Cause I'm bored and style is dead as shit today, here's some pics:



Not a super "clean" engine bay, but I wasn't really going for the clean look, just function. nothing against wire tucks and stuff, but I would never want to take off a fender just to swap out a fuse. I'll tell ya one thing, it sure is easier to work on now without A/C, relocated coil pack, no power steering cooler, no ABS, etc.

My car on the left, Swifty's on the right:


Again on the left:


I drove it for the first time in forever last weekend for a little shakedown action, found a few problems, then ran out of time to fix them, so Mike and Jesse handled it during the week. Looks like I'll be picking the car up tomorrow and putting some break in miles on her this weekend between killing deer.

Probably do some more vacuum pulls on back roads before I head back to Isanti for the weekend. I plan on doing about 20-25 miles of vacuum pulls, then about 75-100 more miles of easy driving until I change the oil. After that I think I will do about another 375-400 miles for a total off 500 miles until I get tuned. This may take a little while with deer hunting in only 2 days and a wake up, and the car staying in Isanti while I live in St. Cloud. Either way, I'll get her done before snow flies

Yep, his car is done as it sits, need to be broken in! I had fun washing off maybe a year of crusted on dirt and grime yesterday.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi

Well, Friday night when I attempted to pick it up, I thought I had fried the transfer case. I had it towed back to Primo because that was my only option at 11:30 Friday night. Today they looked into it, I had already sourced a new transfer case over the weekend, I figured bingo bango put in new t-case, and be done. WRONG. It ended up being the transmission. Mike pulled the drain plug and very little fluid came out.

It developed a leak somewhere while I was doing vacuum pulls on the way back, it still shifted just fine, but it started to howl leading me to think it was the transfer case. I pulled over into a gas station as soon as I heard the noise, and by that time apparently the fluid was almost all gone. Mike said when he pulled the drain plug, it had a burnt smell and there was a thin coating of fluid all over the bottom of the car. Makes me wish I would have picked it up in the daylight so I could have possibly seen this, Primo is currently trying to figure out where exactly it leaked from to see where I should go from here as far as the warranty from TRE. Once we know where/what it leaking from, I will contact TRE and go from there.


This was the last straw for me, I am done with DSM's. I will be parting this thing out. PM me if you want any parts.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi

Sorry if this disappoints anyone, but I've just been through way too much with this car. I had to pull the plug at some point, and it should have been long ago. This should give me a few bucks to put a couple more parts on the Evo though!! I plan on keeping the injectors for now, the AEM wideband/boost gauges, and one of the 3 Walbro's I have as long as its the right one.

Edit: looks like it isn't, 1g's use the GSS341, Evo's/2g's use the GSS342. Not sure what the difference is...

Re: 1994 Talon TSi

Difference is probably the install kit, and possibly the location of the outlet. If you are going to do a dual setup worm clamp style, you could probably still use them.

Sorry to hear about the bad luck. Tis the season for parting out 1G's though, good luck and lemme know if you need a hand ripping it apart at all.

Re: 1994 Talon TSi

^^ Will do, I'll be dealing with it and hauling it back from Primo after deer hunting more than likely, if there is interest in the car as a whole or parts, people can just get them right from Primo. Weekend after deer hunting, I'll be figuring out how to get it back, and then the part-out will start.

Just remembered I bought that small battery kit from you too, so I'll more than likely be keeping the small battery as well.

Looks like as of right now, I'll be keeping the following for the Evo:

FIC BluMax 1350's (might trade them in for something smaller too, as I plan on keeping the stock turbo for a while yet)
possibly a Walbro 255
AEM Wideband and Boost Gauges
Small battery (will need to buy tray)

Now I am REALLY leaning towards parting this car out.
