1994 Talon TSi

Spent about an hour on the phone today with Jon from TRE, and I scrapped the TRE 3.0 idea. I'll be getting the tranny from this car instead.

Well, it won't be the exact tranny, but its an exact duplicate. When these guys originally called Jon at TRE, they wanted 4 transmissions all at once because they figured they would go through them all in one season. Well, Jon said to just try the one and see how it went, but still built 4 identical transmissions just in case. He hasn't seen them back at his shop since 2006. That car is over 900 AWHP and over 750 AWTQ right now, with shifts at over 9,000 RPM. He still had the other 3 laying around, so I decided to snag one of them up. :D

This is old news to me ;)

Is the gearing in that trans any different than a normal trans?

[goodhart]

surprisingly, no.

Baller!

[awd-drifter]

I will get crappy cell pics up later, but 95tsi and I got the motor all put back together and in the car Saturday morning/afternoon/night.

Hit about 5,000 little problems, so it took literally like 14 hours lol. Cut off all the unneeded parts of the motor mounts, modified the PS bracket so you can get the exhaust manifold off without taking off PS also. I think most of the problems are because I have changed SOOOO many things, and all at once. Different intake mani, exhaust mani, turbo, turbo feed and drain lines, deleted ABS, cut up motor mounts, I will be re-mounting the battery in the trunk, new intercooler, IC piping, EWG, dump tube, Coil pack relocation, 90 OFH and 90 external oil cooler, n/t water pipe, n/t t-stat housing, etc. Just so many things all at once makes it a little tougher to piece everything together and make it all work.

Also, I had Shane order me a Comp Stage 4 Sprung clutch on Friday.

Fuck thats a lot of shit, good to hear its in, so whats teh ETA on the trans and clutch?

[goodhart]

Would never have gotten this thing together without Kerry (95talonracer)having this exact seal just laying around at 10:00 PM Friday night since Mitsu had given me the wrong part. Thanks again man!!
