@99gst_racer by chance did you make extra 6.1mm hubcentric spacers? Or would you be willing to make more?

Well, my wife has a friend from highschool in your town. Just went to his reception up here last night, actually. If you don't mind, I'm going to keep you in mind as I start collecting parts, and hopefully we can work something out for me to bring the stuff to you when you've got free time.

Yeah, I looked up your location - it's about a 3 hr drive from me. Not terrible, to be honest. What's your timeline on those projects? Realistically, I'm a year or two out before I could get serious about installing it, but I could start collecting parts - I have a house renovation to finish...

Thanks for the replies! @1990TSIAWDTALON and @KCDsmDude, do you guys have any local shops you recommend? I'm in eastern KCMO, so it'd be cool to get together sometime.

Getting the itch to start upgrading the Talon again. I'm wanting to swap my stock 2.0 with a 2.3. A quick google revealed a few vendors still sending bottom end kits consisting of crank, rods, pistons, etc., but I'm really just looking for a good shortblock that will support between 500-750 whp...

I saw the list is full. Are you accepting any more orders or are you keeping it to a set number for this batch?

Awesome thread!

I have little to add except for NOT using the 6-bolt head. Nothing wrong with it, and it will flow a good amount, but the newer style heads like the 7-bolt and Kia heads are more efficient. It seems like all of the serious road guys start with a 7-bolt 2g head.

I’d be curious to see what the assist from the EPS looks like at highway speeds (if it’s possible to make another video).Also, will the EPS kit only bolt on to these modified racks, or can we order the EPS alone and use it with an otherwise stock steering vehicle?

Down for a 2g AWD Full set.

Can you take a video of the whine?

What are your plans for your custom condenser? I’ve been wanting to move to a smaller more efficient condenser core to hopefully address my cooling issue.

Wow! Your car is looking great! I haven’t been able to log in to DSMTalk in a long time, so I’ve beeen curious how your build is going.Just out of curiosity, what FMIC do you have? Is it an ETS?

Bought this with a turbo from Justin Whitesell as a backup, but have not used it. This has never been installed. Price is $40 shipped and PayPal’d.
