It has a carbon fiber hood, rx-7 wheels, braided brake lines, adjustable rear upper control arms, autopower bolt in roll cage, fluidyne radiator, 750cc injectors, apexi safc2 16g turbo, arp chromoly head studs, act #2600 clutch, apexi turbo timer, 2g piston and 1g rod bottom end and thats pretty much it. I ended up taking the motor, trans,and tcase out as soon as i got it home. Got the head off the motor and off the the machine shop it goes.

Now for the car all this is going into. I ended up looking for another 1g that was cleaned and one that didnt have a hacked up harness like the previous car, ended up finding a clean shell one of my buddys friends had laying around. I picked up a clean rust/rot free 1990 eagle talon tsi shell from Louisiana.

Once i got this car home the tear down began with this car, had to put my 91 shifter cables in, install a 4 bolt rear end i got with the car, put the rx-7 wheels from the other car on, cleaned up the engine bay, got the sending unit out, jmf bumper support on, adjustable rear upper control arms in, and fluidyne radiator all mocked in

Lookin good bro, any talon revival is good in my book. Gotta keep that namesake alive. Hopefully you'll ditch the honduhs after this. I have an open spot in my garage I'm thinking a 1g would look good in, as I've never owned a 1g even though I fell in love with DSMs back in 90 with my spoiled buddy's panda.
I love watching guys spend a shit ton on new parts that I never would, I wait like a turkey vulture for the part out haha. Do you plan to keep your DSM indefinitely or are you the type to move on to the next project?
