Re: Blackcrow64's Talon TSi AWD Project... Warning: Lots of pictures!

Ok so I decided to call off work tonight just so I could continue working on this thing... Needless to say I'm exhausted... I've spent about 18 hours on this thing since last night...

Ok here is the progress...


I figured out that I was missing a pully that went under the one pully on the water pump and that solved my alignment issue...



I got the tranny mounted on it before I put it in... I was curious as to if it was really as hard as everyone says...



Got it up there and almost tipped the whole hoist cause I forgot to put the legs out further.



After a long time of angling it and lining things up I finally got it in...



Ahhh It looks so nice now... The hardest part is past... Now all I have left is wiring, some sensors/thermostat housing stuff, fuel, and IC piping...



And this is what caused me to call it quits tonight...


I was all done with the air gun and I was winding up the hose in this thing. For the people who don't know, this is spring loaded so it automatically winds the hose up when you give it a tug... They need a warning sticker on it... Warning: Do not straddle hose while winding up... Imagine this... Hose is winding up at full speed and I have one hand on it guiding it in and the other end is just flipping and flopping the kinks out as it winds up... With the last 3 feet or so It totally flipped straight up and the rubber stopper junk shotted me so hard that I almost blacked out and almost threw up in the garage... So I decided to come ice my nuts and post this...

Hope ya'll are enjoying this...
