1990-1992 DSM's had the 6 bolt engines which refers to the number of bolts that hold the flywheel to the crankshaft. It doesn't refer to the main caps. In 98 (maybe 99) they switched the main bearing design to a split thrust style just like the EVOs have which pretty much eliminated the crankwalk issue.

The 1g DSM's had flip up headlights from 90-91 but the OP's car is a 92-94 which is still a 1g but a little more rounded on the bumpers and headlights.

Sorry to highjack the thread. That is a very nice 1gb Talon you have there. I'm liking the black on black cars theme you have going.

 

Lookin good, but yeah either lower it or put some beefier tires on that Evo.

 

nice! once long ago and far away I owned a white 1ga! I loved that car!


Thanks Aaron, it definately looks better than the peeling clearcoat look I had going on!


Guess I'm going to have to hunt up some black wheels for my truck and the Wife's truck:





I'm running a pretty big tire already; 255/40R17s so it looks like I'll have to do some suspension work! Problem is, this is my daily driver the daily commute puts me on some pretty rough roads so I really don't want to make the ride too harsh, or worse yet put the geometry to far out of whack and cause blown struts!

decisions decisions!

 

Ah, that is where I messed up. I thought all the 1g's had the flip up lights.

That is one massive motor sitting in the bed of your truck!

 

Johnny, you inspired me to go look for some shoes as well-



If I can find a camera around my house I'll take a pic, otherwise it will need to be monday

 

^don't neons come with those?

and of course I'm kidding!

 

ahhh nuts...I didnt think of SRT4s having a wheel like that. You are right

They look good on an Evo though.

 

Johnny, with a spring with enough thought put behind it, you can achieve a good looking stance without having to worry about blowing struts and scraping pavement.

I knew vicksen had put Robispec springs on his Evo MR when he had it, but when I went for a ride, the thought never crossed my mind. The ride quality was still great and not harsh at all. They don't dump the car down ridiculously low, either.

 

DOH, sorry to pee on the parade. I'm sure they look nice. I've always kinda liked the look of the wheels, just not the d-waffle attached to them.

 

^HaHa u said PEE

 

From what I've read, the Robispec springs may be what I'm looking for.

The Robispec 1" drop is in between the Swift Spec-R and the GTWorx springs.

I can't find anyone posting they didn't like their Robispec springs.

My head is about to explode! there is so much krap/conflicting information on this board, it reminds me of tooners! I suppose I should just order something and try them, if they don't work out I can always change up later.

John-

 

I just got finished powdercoating my gsx rims

 

Lookin Good! I always liked the Pand Bear look! My old 1ga:

 

John, I the overall consensus I've read is you'll be happy with the Spec-Rs, GTWorx, and the Robi springs. As far as the #1 pick, I think you'd just have to understand how much drop you want, if you want the front to come down more than the rear to level out some, etc.
