it's been a hot minute... people still use this? whelp im back!

thanks man !

Its not a body kit. Its a stock 2gb talon bumper

Just a little update. I was too lazy to get the nikon out so i used the gopro

Thanks man^poly mounts have been pressed in and i can finally mess with alignment of the engine/trans.

Prepping for a paint job again :cry:Update... Timing belt was done again with OEM parts. Poly mounts have been ordered.Just waiting for the poly mounts to get here to weld up the bracket and paint the bay again.

A backup starter for your starter

I went with the 3g trans just because it would be less expenisve. Remember a working evo 8/9 trans range from $600-2,000 dollars plus the transfer case which is another $1k. Maybe if i run into another evo 8 trans that is cracked at a different point i'll save it and swap it in. In the mean...

When you find an evo 8 transmission for $50. There's a crack on it. I just need it to change the starter mounting points on my 3g trans

3g eclipse

Flywheel fits. Just gotta figure out how make space for the starter

Updates next weekend. I ordered some more goodies to install the transmission.. Just waiting on the dealer for the bolts and stuff.

The trans!

I'll do my best and post more pics

After a long hiatus... the engine is in.

Thanks man! i appreciate the positive input. There shall be big update in a week or two. I just ordered some more parts that i wasn't going to until next month.

I haven't been here in a while so here goes nothing. Talon is in the garage, thanks to another dsm buddy who helped get her inside. Engine will be going in soon, maybe in a week or two. I want to finish up the engine bay with new ss brake lines. Remember I'm not made of money so this takes time.

Trans has been ordered. Next up is the LSD!!

Engine is DONE!!! time to buy a built trans for this power.

Stay tuned for next week! i usually post it on my FB or instagram :D

Thanks man. Been busting my ass off at work. I added more stuff to the engine. I'll post a picture once I get my valve cover back :D

Pretty much what mitsubishikid said. it's not my daily so I'm good. only thing I'm worried is getting pulled over in my city. They are a pain to deal with. Especially bike cops. they stare at me a lot whenever I'm driving that car. I should be okay as long as I'm not doing stupid stuff

Update on my build. pretty much have boxes of new parts sitting I'm my garage. I hardly have time. only thing left is to buy the transmission and I'm pretty much done.

Yea trying to get everything together so i don't have to worry about it when its inside the engine bay. I should have some more updates this weekend. I will be installing my STM fuel line kit this weekend. Just waiting on some little parts since the hard line on the fuel tank broke. Dam cars are...

Forgot to upload this last night on here. I uploaded it on DSMTUNERS on FB. Here you guys go! Almost there. Keep in mind that my summer is over and its back to school. So I'm doing my best on balancing both work and school.

thought i replied. c7 corvette

thanks man. Anybody want to guess what car paint code it belongs it?

Engine Bay Painted

A little update... Engine and trans are out and the engine bay is getting painted in a week!!

my evo 8 engine is coming along nicely :D

Pics will be up tomorrow :hellyeah:

dam this escalated quickly lol.I have spent around the same price you would pay to buy a complete short block except i have a new rebuilt turbo and built head with a stock short block. I will be on a conservative tune for the time being and switch over to E85 later on.on a side note does...

It wasn't a mivec evo 9. I know who you're talking about. It was an evo 8. I've been in touch with him. I probably won't post for a while until I'm done with the engine.

yea i kind of gave up on the fact that i won't have it ready for SOCAL MOD but oh well.

Thanks, i'll post pics when I'm done building the engine. All i need is a head gasket, and oil pump and i should be good to put the engine together.

Since i know you guys like pictures. My rebuilt evo 9 turbo just came in. Thanks a lot to Justin Goad for the turbo and Justin Whitesell for rebuilding my turbo.Journal Bearing Turbocharger Rebuild Service - DSM ClassifiedsLink^^^^^ if you guys need a turbo rebuild.

Of course. its slowly coming together. i can't wait to finish this and drive my talon again.

Evo 8 head done. kelford 272 and gsc valve springs. Evo 8 short block gets shipped out on monday :hellyeah:

upade, ditching the 20g turbo and going with e85 and a stock evo 9 turbo

Im not there yet. From what i hear the 3g transmissions are not weak.

yup fwd for right now.

Im hoping i could finish this by July 12 which is MOD in Cypress, Ca. I got lucky and was able to sell some more parts so i put the money towards the new turbo.Whats left -3g trans -evo 8 ecu -evo 8 harness -shifter assembly and pedals -just small stuff i guess like exhaust manifold and...

I think there will be some modding needed I'm not sure yet.UPDATE:Just ordered a complete running evo 8 short block. Passed compression test with flying colors. Will be getting a 7 billet 20g turbo made for this engine. :D:hellyeah:

Update, picking up a short block. My count down has begun. I have 3 months exactly to finish. Hopefully i finish. I will be using an eclipse 3g transmission.

yup^ i have some 420a turbo parts that will bolt on for sale.

thank you and i'll be sure to ask them.
