- I have a 20g turbo I need to rebuild before it goes on the car, I also have FIC 780cc injectors to go with it and V3 and FP2 cams.
- Background
- I bought the car for $1300 from a friend of mine thats been dealing with dsm's and myself for years. I was warned that the car had some previous dumbass owners, but holy hell I was in for a ride. The front end had been smashed, the rad support was tweaked, the car barely idled, and leaked oil and coolant from everywhere. The transmission slipped out of 1st gear all the time, I had to start off in 2nd everywhere I went.
Long story short, I've resealed the motor, installed a new transmission, fixed and replaced a crapton of stuff. And it still has a long way to go. The paint was in horrible shape, I brought as much of it back as I could. The previous owner of the car didnt even recognize it when he saw it.
I've vinyl wrapped the whole car, added twisty sideskirts, added black suede to the tan interior, put new wheels on it, just really cleaned up the whole car before doing anything else with it. It's definitely a great looking Talon now. people ask about it everywhere I go.
