So dummy goes out and buys a talon. Subsequent texts look something like this.

They removed the floor in the trunk to work on the gas tank. I never noticed
I get like 5mpg now
it only makes 6psi of boost
fucking oil line wont thread into head
Come help
gay
I pulled out 50vac lines
feed still fucked
Fucking talon!

With misc texts staying words like "holset, 11s, gonna turn you out"
Poor dummy lol.

But really tho, Talons don't seem to difficult to work on, lots of room, its fairly simple shit. Only thing i noticed was shitty wiring and more vac lines than an FD.

Better transmission and drivetrain, but shittier engine, and heavier car. Meh.

Alltracs are the worst awd car on the planet.

colt45 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 22, 2009, 08:01:18 PM »

so if the all trac is the worst, where would the gsx fall in that rating scale?

Just slightly above an all trac

Truth. Most of the problems with the 3s can be fixed, and worst case you build a 2.2 bottom end and replace the cranks every few years with a cheap widely available camry unit. Price me a gsx drivetrain and watch me laugh at you.

Sorry. Ive built dsm and toyota. The all-trac is ten times the car any dsm is. Ill take its semi-shitty engine and damn near indestructible drivetrain over the dsm's badass engine and failure drivetrain.

Only available in autotragic dsg??? Watch while Joseph Davis comes to your house and fists your mother.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #13 on:** November 22, 2009, 08:35:30 PM »

Actually, Robb's fantasy is a 4G63 bolted to a 3S transmission of some flavor with a Honda ECU to control it all.

And MR2 Girl's All-Trac has been running longer than any DSM I know of.

Yes. Insert porn here to make it complete. That is all.

The problem with the alltrac is parts availability. They understeer, handle like ass ect. I remember hearing it takes 20hours to change a clutch lol.

The problem with the alltrac is parts availability. Which really isnt a problem comparied to a dsm, since it wont break nearly as much.

They understeer, handle like ass ect. And a dsm handles on rails? LOL

I remember hearing it takes 20hours to change a clutch lol. It only takes 5 to drop the motor if your slow. I dont see 20 hours for a clutch.

The problem isn't the car, it's the guy who owned it prior to me.

I'm helicoiling the oil feed threads tomorrow night. weeeee talons!

Ya, them, those pricks.

I have driven this car approx 1.5k and it has been on a flat bed already.

Also, TTC broke my shitty DSM wiring harness twice.

Get urself an 89 Dodge Colt and swap that drivetrain in, or a summit wagon and go race Bisi for pinks.

<3 alltracs, you dirty 3s haters. It takes 2 hours tops to do a clutch. Less if you've neglected to put annoying things bolts back in such as the flywheel cover bolts

Eh, bit more than 2 hours. The transfercase/center diff on the st185/st205 is a bitch to get back on the trans, but other than that a cake walk.

Put the guts of a 3s tranny (cant remember the trans code at the moment) next to a w5m33 gearset and prepare to laugh. It makes the dsm trans look wimpy as fuck.

WPPF · « **Reply #25 on:** November 23, 2009, 10:34:13 AM »

Really? I can do a clutch on my st162 in about an hour flat assuming no bolt issues. But i can imagine it taking an extra hour to fuck with the dif and get everything aligned. Those transmissions are not light

ST162 != ST165, or ST185/205 for that matter.
