Re: david-b's 95 Eagle Talon ESi-T Motor Build

Not much has happened still. Funds a little low and time just not on my side too. Basically, I'm going to tear the block down again and redo it. You can turn the crank by hand but you need a lot of force. So something is not right there. Crank spun fine originally, but once pistons were installed, that's when the problems happened. So, have to check everything again.

I started wiring MS but keep getting bored while doing it. I'm lazy. I bought a HP Mini laptop that I installed MS on. It's only like 3lbs and has a 8" screen I believe. Not a bad little computer. Screen is nice and bright and it can handle MS no problem it seems like. Worth the money. Also use it for when I want to be more mobile with my computer, since my other laptops have 17" screens or no batteries or whatever.

My power windows are ballin' still. The thicker door panels On the "premium" doors are nice and really do block out a lot of road noise compared to the cheap thin plastic ones I used to have.
