I assume you had to lose the rear bumper (metal crash Beam) in order to run the shortened bumper? Saw this done on the org, and wanna do the same to the front and rear on my vr4.
I love it man! I to picked up a gvr4.. 271/1k. And am doing just about the same to it. Complete overhaul. Was going to ask tho, what fluids are you using to flush the trans?
Very nice! This is very motivating, since I just received my billet tdo5h downfiring 20g. Very excited to see what she brings to the table for my gsx. Keep it up bud!
I'm with breezio on this one... I have been running around without a front plate for 8years, and only once did I get a ticket, and that was parked on a city street. Needless to say, I contested the ticket by taking a picture with the front plate on, inside the lower front mouth opening of bumper...
Nice 2gb! Are those the h&r race (red) springs? I have a set and removed them because they slammed my gsx way to much! Kind of like the way yours looks.. How's the ride quality for you?
Back up from the dead... Did anyone try out the 2200/Kevlar f1 setup posted right above me? Op what did you end up going with? I'm looking for a budget clutch setup, and this doesn't seem to bad. Thanks
Dude WTF!!!!!! That is one gorgeous looking pewter blue talon!! ;) I love it!! Has this pic made the calendar yet!? If not it should be a crime to not be in there. Lol
How did I miss this thread!? Lots of good stuff in here.. I'm looking forward to my 14b that im going to get converted into a down firing billet 20g from Turbo Lab. :) I'm going to have my tdo5h turbine clipped Aswell. Unless anyone suggest otherwise.. Any input turbine wise, or should I just...
Dude I love your 2gb talon, and your girls even more! Lol but that's just being biased since my 2gb talon is the same color as hers ;) love it!! Ohh and what suspension is here dropped on? Nice stance! Any build thread coming soon for hers?
Exactly ### I was thinking! Dupli color sells a graphite heat resistant wheel paint, that should match our "pewter blue/magenta grey) pretty nicely! That with polished letters would be the TITTS!!! Think thats what ima do with my talon xD :cool:Edit: A87 is the pewter/magenta grey color code
Pics of your setup? At $220 shipped it seems like great bargain for me. I already have a spare fmic j pipe. Just wondering why it would be less quality then the vrsf..Ic Core wise. Not to mention I've seen a few vrsf kits used sell for more then the ssac at $219. Who's gonna be the firs to buy...
Dammit I had a S2 manifold that was gonna go into a integra gsr build I did a while ago, never used it and sold it next to nothing lol. I'm also interested in seeing a 2g gasket put up against it.. Migh require a lil less fab..?? Idk.. Definitely keeping an eye on this. Good work!
Ouch.. Atta way of saving her tho! ;) how's the other side? Or the rear inner wheel wells? Those are usually just as rusted as the strut towers, from my purchasing experience lol.
:ohdamn:... The topic is about 2gb (97-98) talon front bumper, I'm sure your reffering to the 97-99 eclipse front as those ARE dime a dozen! Hell I get mine new from certifit for $38 and some change. On the other hand the 2gb talon bumper can easily fetch $150-250. And as a few mentioned even...
Hey Wes! You got me wanting to go hx35/bep on one of my 2g's!! :p Been toy'in with the idea for a while, I think ima go thru with it soon.. great thread! Ima follow this closely.
$240 shipped on eBay...hmmmm not bad. Ima order me one, since the talon is in need of an fmic. Already got vrsf on both gsx and colt. Doesn't look bad at all. But is it me, or is the lower I.c pipe setup different then vrsf? Why is that...
Jon at Team rip engineering... (T.r.e) not john shep... I was just explaining my experience anyways.. I had to shim my setup on new oem everything. (Clutch fork, pivot ball, slave, master cylinder,clutch kit and flywheel.. made a hell of a difference for the better :hmm:)
Everytime I do a new clutch and flywheel setup I add a turbo to manifold bolt washer, under the pivot ball. Well ever since a couple years ago when I ordered a built trans from Jon at T.r.e. he shims the pivot ball on every trans rebuild as standard practice. I love the way the clutch has more...
Man I love it!! I just got my 98 tsi awd from Texas last month. Exact same color! A87 pewter blue pearl=gorgeous! Mines now looks exactly likes yours did when you first got it. Though I have suspension waiting to get put on, and 18x9 rota dpt (ce28n Volk reps). Ima black out the headlights...
Northstar white! Just like my 99! Love it... Ima keep an eye on this build ;) it's about 95% identical to mine! Goal, power level and parts lol. Twins!
I think it looks pretty good actually... My only concern would be the backside where it typically sits flush against the rear window(mounted stock) would look out of place, and not "flow".
Run 12's and then 11's on both my awd's... :p and to get the colt to hook.. Awd swap maybe...would be nice, but highly unlikely. Happy new years to all!!!
Treated myself early with the purchase of my 98 tsi awd last month ;). And besides that a hat some clothes and cologne as usual lol. And a hell of a cold as well :( *cough!*
Looks good! Besides the rust :p. just continue with your motor build, even if that means you reach your power goal and still have the same car. Just keeP an eye out for a clean shell, and swap everything over once you find a nice clean one.
My point exactly... You sold it so someone else could enjoy it. Now if the op saw things the SamE way, he would save the next guy the hassle of looking so hard for a rare 2gb talon tsi AWD! Like myself lol. I got mine shipped to me from Texas because there weren't any 97-98 awd talons up here...
Find a 3rd gen or even 4th gen mirage/colt and swap it in there! Very light chassis. My stock 1.6 Dohc turbo colt (135bhp) moves for what it is. Imagine 2or3 times that power in such a light body. BEAST :) can even AWD it.
