- Background
- This was my wife's Talon; she did all this work in the late 90s herself and was very active in the Michigan DSM scene. She became unable to work on the car or drive it after 2005. It stayed garaged, and I used to take it out and exercise it a bunch of times each year. But for the past 4+ years, it's been sitting undriven in the garage as there were many other priorities. Now it's time to get it back on the road. I'm no stranger to working on cars, but I've never worked on this car nor studied anything about DSMs, so I'm starting fresh and learning.
Fun fact: she's in a couple photos in one of the import tuner magazines from back in the day; I'll see if I can dig that out.
