I'm stocking up parts for a mild build on my Talon this spring, and figured I'd start a thread for the problems I'm inevitably going to run into. Also, to see if anyone has the parts I still need.
As the car sits now, it has an intake/exhaust, 14b, and 1g bov.
When I'm all done, I hope to be running an evo3 16g around 18-19 psi.
I have these parts so far:
evo3 16g - $275 from xceedspeed, just rebuilt 0 miles. FMIC - $30 and a control arm from xceedspeed, then traded for AJ's. Denso 560s - $100 from xceedspeed. Megan Oil Pressure Gauge - $30 from xceedspeed
These parts are either pending or on their way:
AEM UEGO - $150 from dsmtuners. EEPROM ecu - $150 from dsmtuners. evo8 fuel pump - $30 from g-tune on xceedspeed.
I am currently looking for these parts:
Gray a-pillar 3 gauge pod. Springs that will give around a 1.5" drop and good condition stock struts. Logger. Chip for the eeprom ecu. SAFC II. 2.5" intercooler piping and clamps/couplers. Red 2gb Eclipse bumper.
I can't find the usb chord for my camera, but there's not much to take pictures of at this point anyway. Thanks for reading.

Welp I'm in the process of wiring up my boost and oil pressure gauge. Had to move my boost gauge over by the a-pillar. I was scammed on the wideband and eprom ecu on dsmtuners... supposed to be here a week and a half ago and the guy isn't responding to pm's. Filed a dispute on paypal so that should be fun.

That sucks! What was the user name? I'm waiting on a fidanza flywheel for my fwd I bought off there too. I have been fortunate enough to have never been taken, so far. User name would give us all someone too watch out for. I buy more and more parts there over the last couple of years.

How did you end up buying from a guy that doesn't even have classifieds access?

Na, I'm sure the flywheel will show up, was shipped thursday, I just get nervous when I request a confirmation # and than don't get one. You have a buddy with an alum fidanza flywheel for 6 bolt fwd? I had a hell of a time finding one, almost just bought new since my bottom end is waiting for it so it can be balanced. Kind of funny to see a bunch of wmdsm names on his list of people who recently viewed his profile

How did you end up buying from a guy that doesn't even have classifieds access? I put up a wanted ad and he pm'd me. Guess I should have been more cautious. It actually might have been for a 7-bolt. I know he bought it new then sold the car to get a gsx. And same here, I tried asking for a tracking number, got nothing in response.

Update: Paypal got me my money back from the guy that scammed me. He has a -7 feedback rating now. I've since gotten a UEGO and logger for $190, and an eeprom ecu with stage 3 chip and safcII for $300. I took my 16g to the welder because of some cracks in the exhaust housing, and he said they were too bad to fix, so let me know if you have an extra.
I've also come across another problem that I am not able to figure out. When checking my oil, the dipstick is reading well above the top notch, which I know is not accurate because I leak oil from my return line. The oil on the dipstick almost looks like it has a greenish tint, like it's part coolant, but I checked the coolant and it looks normal. Right amount and color. Help?

Glad to hear you got your money back.
I banned that guy from Tuners a little over a week ago, so he won't be ripping off anyone else.
