Looks great. What size/offset are the wheels and tires?

Also, did cutting out the talon logo help with coolant temps?

Awd Spyder Talon

98 awd spyder


Last fall car cruise was 30 out

Here's a couple more.

I never get tired of seeing Miller's old talon!

Rota p45-r 17x9 +25 245/45/17.

Emblem helped some with temps but more so for the hell of it.

Cry me a river

Has anybody tried the 2gb talon with 2ga eclipse sideskirts? if yes, do you have any ictures? Thanks

just look a little. http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/post-your-clean-2gb-talon.384244/ post 7 and post 40. I'm sure more are there. I love the 97 front end. Sure beats my smiley.

Yes I did saw them, but I'm looking a 2gb talon with 2ga eclipse sideskirts. All those 2gb talons have 2ga talon skirts, aka twisted sideskirts.[DOUBLEPOST=1410591520][/DOUBLEPOST]I might be the first one to try this combo, for some reason a lot of people dont like the twisted sideskirts on the 2gb talon because they don't flow with the 2gb talon style. the 2ga sideskirts are smaller then the 2gb eclipse sideskirts and thats why I want to try this.

ah yes I get yah. didn't pay attention to the eclipse part. I was at work and just read 2gb talon with 2ga skirts . A couple guys on here do photo shop pretty good maybe someone can do one up and see what it looks like.

Not mine, but it's an example of the 2gb Talon front and rear bumpers with the 2gb Eclipse side skirts.

Just randomly clicked this, this is my car (at least it is now).

It looks cute in that photo, but man I am still going through heck cleaning out previous DSM owners garbage two years later (crappy coilovers, crappy tune, crappy eBay parts, crappy cams, crappy seats, crappy transmission, crappy hood pins, 4 hour of shop labor to remove a horrible alarm system that didn't work, crappy bubbling tint, crappy paint, stupid hardware store nuts and bolts on the car (13mm/15mm anyone?) the side skirts are gone and were attached with window weld!!! Crappy crap crap crap). Also the fenders were retouched on that photo (or just blurred).

The Florida sun was not kind to the paint on it.

I ripped off all the Talon garbage and it runs track events now. Cheers.



Edit: And yes, they replaced the door at some point and didn't repaint the whole thing before putting the side spar on.

...it's amazing how clean a DSM can look in a photo and how poorly maintained it actually is.

What hood do you've got on there now?

Yeah, I forgot to mention the built motor drinks down oil like it's going out of style too. I burn through a quart in about 600 miles, but the compression is still good, so I just run it and top it off every so often.

Most of the issues at this point are pretty much hammered out, but it's taken a lot of money and effort on my part. Now it just looks like crap on the outside (Until I vinyl wrap it) and runs pretty well on the inside, aside from the cams.

The hood is the "Andrew Brilliant" hood by Carbonetics. Its fitment is "eh" and I had to do a lot of dremel work on the vents to get it to fit. It also arrived with both the corners broken and took 8 months of complaining on here (the thread for the group buy is gone now post migration).

Ill update this with a new pic!!

Here's mine now I have bbs wheels but pic won't download. 1998 tsi awd stock except e316g.

God I love 2GB Talons....I keep scanning the junkyards locally hoping to get really lucky and find a junked 420a 2GB talon to rape all the body parts off of to no avail.
