Silly DSMs...

I do like the talon. i recall racing one back in 1990 against my dodge daytona :)

I recently joined a dsm forum, I don't know if you are member there http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/index.php

Yea I'ma members on most of the. From back when I had my drag talon . I had a guy make me an offer on the talon and another on the engine . Actually came out 500$ ahead.

And then the bmw shit a water pump , so I did the logical thing.... Ordered a water pump. Front and rear brake pads and rotors , ss brake lines , new shocks and struts ....

Struts and shocks haven't come yet , I honestly went against buying a 1k$ set of coils in favor of standard stuff . For one I don't track like you guys just spirited driving and for the drop in and go ability I figured It would be easier

So I tackled the water pump today. Really surprising easy . I would equate it to a old small block Ford water pump . Only nuance is the rad does not have a pet cock . Also managed to track down my oil leak , which is coming from the vanos solenoids . Had done valve cover earlier this year thinking that was it .
So new water pump , t stat, clutch fan and pentosin coolant . Only two fluids that have not been changed on the car now are brake ( soon rbf600) and power steering .
Also found a slightly loose inner tie rod .... Never ends.
My rear shocks have shown up but not the new top mounts . The new struts have not shipped yet so that stuff will most likely get pushed off till winter so I can enjoy the car a bit before .

Yes rancho shocks ! Long story short but they perform on par if not better than Bilstein adjustables at 1/4 the price and have more piston area . The shocks are actually "for " a Toyota Tacoma .
On a side not I have been hand laying sticker bomb to my bicycle as I get them

The Vanos solenoids like to leak as well as the oil filter housing gaskets. Thank god they are on top where they are easy to change.
