When not pricing out parts for my rebuild, I play a little guitar. I have a 1958 Epiphone Explorer in satin black with an EMG81 / EMG85 pick-up set. I play through a B-52 AT112 Tube Amp and a C9 Landmine distortion pedal. I play a bit of metal although I've really been into the blues lately...

So one of my friend's decided that her boyfriend's car is "sexier" than mine.And I beg to differ. But I just wanted other opinions to see what other people really thought.If you could help it (DSM owners), don't let the fact that you own a DSM or that DSM cars have much more potential...

I'm new to the DSM Scene, I'm from Meaford, Ontario ... small town on the Georgian Bay.I own a '98 Talon ESi, it'll be my winter project. If anyone in the area wants to cruise or show off in the spring, send a message.:talon:

If I really had to toss out a number, I don't think I'd want to spend more than $3500 on the motor, alone. The car needs alot more done than just performance. Body is rough, needs new suspension.Now are you saying that you sell kits? Or are you saying that you just know how to aquire one...

Alright well atleast I know where I should start. Thanks everyone for the quick respones, and I'll keep everyone up to date when the rebuild commences. :|:talon:

Not sure how reasonable my take is, but I don't want to start somewhere with small stuff, then get bored of it, swap it out, replace it bigger and better as the years go on. I'm %100 with the "Do it right or Do it twice" . LoL sorry if I'm being confusing. So if my goal is set around 300hp...

So everyone would agree that a turbo kit / MegaSquirt kit would be a good start for my goal?Unless the kit already comes with a fuel upgrade system like 'Draggin' mentioned?

Was this the only part of the upgrade? I'm assuming you have MS / upgraded fuel system to compete with the turbo.Where do I find MS, and what exactly should I be buying from them? What all do I have to get to run MS?

I'm kinda new, bought a '98 Talon ESi.Don't know a whole lot about the car really, still young :D.I'm looking to make a little horsepower (250 - 300), without spending an overwhelming load of cash.I've breifly looked around, there are a number of improvements, but I'm just not sure...
