I've been daily driving my Talon for 7-8 years now. Longest trip was 2200 miles without issue, has seen -55 degrees, 14 inches of snow, and has well over 200K miles.Purchased a BRZ a couple years ago to take on the daily duty, but find myself driving the Talon anyway.IMG_5994[1] by Matthew...

Decided to be the guinea pig. They bolt up to the hinges fine, but will need a some love up front and a backing plate made. Fender fits over brace as well.

Not the update I wanted to post, but I'll make the best of the situation. Was driving home and noticed road noise was louder than normal; roads were just grooved again since temperatures are coming up so didn't think that hard about it. After pulling in the driveway I figured I'd check under the...

01-22-2018, 12:43 PMNot sure about the motor mount; I have mount 347 and it should have been a direct bolt in. Car does have over 210K on the body so things don't line up as well as they used to. I want to add some fender braces as well but waiting to see if anyone starts fabricating them...

01-20-2018, 12:12 PMInstalled a Volk crossmember setup to lose some weight. Pretty straight forward install, with only a couple issues that need addressed. Had to drill new holes in the front motor mount, I'll weld some washers when I can. I'm also running a 2g radiator that is taking up more...

10-24-2017, 04:53 PMIt's been a really busy summer and winter is already in full effect. What little free time I had was spent helping the neighbor/friends with their projects and trying to button up the Talon. I think we've had 5 different dsm's through the garage to end up building two more...

07-10-2017, 01:27 PMInstalled a Cometic HG and GSC S1 cams, as well as a bunch of miscellaneous items that needed to get cleaned up. Had some extra caliper paint so I decided to test how it would hold up on a valve cover for now; I'll finish painting it if it doesn't cause any issues...

05-21-2017, 11:21 PMNeighbor and I took our dsms out to the Cruising with Santa event in North Pole, AK. There was a decent showing with a pretty wide variety of vehicles; my favorite being the Model T's that are daily driven here during our three month break from snow.Not even 12 hours...

04-13-2017, 02:42 PMWinter is almost finished here and both cars survived. I'm surprised how well the BRZ performs in the snow as well; took some time to get comfortable and play with it but I'm glad that I can confidently drive it year round. First car I've owned that I don't want to modify...

01-01-2017, 01:48 PMManaged to find a BRZ to use as a daily; had my brother in Oregon pick it up from the dealer and start getting it ready for the winter here. Around 47K on it but have records for oil changes every four/five thousand miles. I'm excited that I'll be able to tear into the...

12-04-2016, 09:37 PMHappy to say the Talon is still running strong even in -30 degree temperatures. Only new updates are changing the timing components and beating on it. So far 7 inches of snow does nothing to the car and the blizzaks keep impressing me more and more. Getting harder to take...

10-21-2016, 05:35 PMManaged to get down to 10 degrees Fahrenheit before snow finally dropped; I'll spend a few days getting used to the car in the snow and then explore for some fun sections of road. Hopefully it holds together and survives -60 here.

10-12-2016, 12:31 PMI'm still trying to reduce rotational mass on the car so I ended up getting an aluminum driveshaft from The Driveshaft Shop. I'm really impressed with the quality and ease of installation; only issue is the yoke doesn't have a dust shield incorporated so I'll be keeping an...

08-16-2016, 11:10 AMAnother small update. Work is keeping me busy with the Red Flag missions going on so I'm hurting for time to mess with the car.Latest project was getting ready for the months of darkness coming up. Most of the cars I've seen in the area have large light bars or lamps...

06-05-2016, 10:48 PMWell, I'm happy to say that the car survived the 2200 mile drive with zero issues. Was pulling 10-12 hour days driving mostly at highway speeds, with tons of gravel sections of road to have fun with; longest section being 50 miles.I can't say enough good things about the...
