I know this isn't a dam, but I know there are some extremely talented photoshoppers on here so I thought I'd ask. Can anyone photoshop these pictures to be the colors I plan to refinish my old Buick in? I can't find any pictures of a Buick of my year in the color scheme I am planning, other than...

Just moving this to the new journal system. It's the progress on my 1997 Talon TSi AWD build. Here is some general info:Year- 1997 Make- Eagle Model- Talon Sub Model- TSi AWD Mileage- 55,871 Ext Color- Black Int Color- Tan/BlackHere is the story behind the car. I bought the car...

Does anyone plan on going to either of these events this summer? In case you don't know. Cruizin broadway is on Broadway in downtown Fargo.Cruisin Broadway is held (weather permitting): Thursday, May 17 - 5pm-9pm Thursday, June 7 - 5pm-9pm Thursday, July 5 - 5pm-9pm Thursday, August 2...

Wondering if anyone would be interested in having a DSM cruise day/night in Fargo sometime this summer? Even if it is just a few people, I would like to meet some fellow DSM'ers in the area.

I was bored at work today so I started drawing what I thought a 2Gb Laser would have looked like if they would have continued making them. They aren't finished yet but you get the picture. I will post a finished pic when they're done. Enjoy.

I read these pretty much all day at work. They crack me up all the time. Post your favorite rage comics here.

Just wondering how many are participating. Saw lots of posts about it on FB today, so was curious how many people from here plan on rocking beards this month. I even got a head start on mine. :D

Well, I have less than 50 miles on brand new Timken wheel bearings and my passenger side one is shot already. :notgood: I noticed it was bad when I backed the car out of the garage today and heard a knocking noise from the passenger side. Is there something else I should be looking for that...

Well I finished putting everything together and started the Talon today. After 15 months of sitting, she fired right up! Ran a bit rough at first then everything smoothed out. Still idles a bit high, so that will be the next thing I look into. No leaks of any kind (yet). No belt squeal either...

Here are pics from the engine install. :hellyeah:

Here are the pics of me putting the engine together.

I bought this custom made badge for my 97 Talon front bumper for cheap on ebay, but im not sure if I should put it on or not. I think it looks cool and everything, and I think it would be cool have a different look than everyone else. But I just don't know if i want to use this one rather than...

As per the site founders request. Starting a new thread because the old one is getting too long.Let the fun continue!

Browsing the forums I see a bunch on usernames that I think to myself "I wonder what that means?" or "I wonder how they came up with that?" So just for fun post what your username means, or where you got it, or how you came up with it.I'll start. Black Widow is one of my fovorite Children of...

I am trying to get everything on my front end aligned and I consistently have this same problem no matter what I do. The hood and the bumper do not will not line up properly. I have tried two different 2Gb Talon bumpers, two sets of headlights, two different front bumper mounting brackets, with...

Well I finished putting the front end together today. I have it adjusted for the most part. There still is a lot of adjusting to do to get it perfect. But at least it looks like a car again. :)

Well as many of you have read in my previous blog entry, I replaced the radiator support on my project car. Well, it turns out that they sent me an N/T support, and it went unnoticed until it was welded on. So my project this weekend was to start all over, grind the old one off, and weld the...

Well as some of you may have read in the naional section of your local news paper, or on national news, the Fargo area has experienced major flooding every spring for the past two years in a row. Well here we go again with round 3. The river crest isnt expected fro another few days, AND we have...

Well over the winter I kept myself busy trying to ignore the cold and snow working on the car.I added red badges to the rear bumper instead of replacing those ugly blue/purple letters that originally came on 97-98 Talons.I painted the door speaker grills black. They were all faded and...

Ok, I've searched and every thread I come across has to do with the axle being rusted it. I am trying to replace the front brake dust shields that the previous owner removed. I can't seem to get the spindle (correct me if that's the wrong name for the part) off. I have all four bolts removed and...

Is there a way of getting this out or am I stuck buying a caliper? I have tried grabbing the little nub left sticking out with a vise grip, and it just ate away at what was left sticking out. it's pretty much flush now. A bolt extractor just slips, and i drilled it out some to get the extractor...

Just gauging interest. I think it would be fun to have a DSM meet somewhere in the area next summer. Maybe in Fargo, or perhaps at I-Drags in Sabin? Let me know if anyone is interested. I may know a place we could hold it at in Fargo if we get enough interest. I think it would be fun to meet...

What is this bolted to my motor mount? I have never seen it before on any of my other cars. Both of my 95 and 97 Talon AWD, manual trans did not have it. This is a 95 Talon AWD Automatic. Is this something only automatics have? What does it do?Thanks guys!

Well, fall is over. Here is what I got done over the course of the autumn. :)My biggest project was replacing the radiator support. It looked like someone tried to pull it out of a snowbank by the old radiator support and bent it all up.Here is the old one:Here is the car after I...

I finally got around to painting the Eagle emblem that goes on the rear bumper of my car. I got some red emblems off my old ESi bumper. I was only able to use the Eagle emblem and letters. I still need to find the TSi AWD letters in red.Anyhow, as you can see from my avatar, my car is black...

Hey all. So, the bags have been deployed in my car. (before I had bought it.) I have a tan interior with a black dash. As far as I kenw, the steering hub covers, steering wheels, and airbags were the same, regardles of interior color, black. Well, I know higher models got a leather wrapped...

So here is all of the progress I made this past summer.I did a LOT of cleaning. Straightened out the wiring. (The right way, using solder and heat 2 pieces of heat shrink per connection.) Installed an Eprom ECU and engine harness from parts car. Got a good start on the brakes. Got the engine...

Who else here thinks FittipaldiTalon should sell that one-of-one Fittipaldi Special Edition Talon prototype to a museum? I mean, yeah, it is his car to do what he wants with. But selling it to some random on Ebay could, and probably will, place it in the wrong hands and it could end up in some...

Came across a website today that had all of these "fun facts" about The Stig. I laughed at most of them, so I thought I'd share. If you know of any more, post them here. Enjoy!Some say The Stig: Never blinks Roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves He’s wanted by the CIA That...

Hello all, Check out the 95 Talon I just picked up. It is a TSi AWD with 135k. I traded my buddy my old Epiphone SG for it. It is in pretty good shape, Just needs a llil TLC. It needs a new turbo (I have one lying around anyways), a good cleaning, and some electrical connectors left hanging...

Hey tuners, Do any of you know what the "box" (for lack of a better word) in the first pic is? It is located behind the radio. The 95 Talon I just picked up has the connector just hanging there, and my parts whore (also 95) has that "box" it is connected to. Should I swap that "box" into the...

So I was riding the quad the other day, and thought to myself, I wonder how many fellow dsm'ers share another one of my passions. I want to include any kind of atv in this thread. Quads, four wheelers, dirt bikes, three-wheelers, or anything similar. Try to include pics of your atv too...

So I was searching the forums today and noticed a lot of threads about stupid shit cops had said or done to them while they were pulled over in their DSMs. So I figured, Why not compile them into one big thread for everyones enjoyment.I'll get the ball rolling here, I got pulled over in my...

Hello all, I took a set of swirl side skirts off my donor car so I can put them on my my '97 TSi. I noticed under the skirts (especially on the driver's side) it was rusting pretty badly. I could probably kick a hole into the drivers side. This is actually the reason it is a donor car now. The...

Hello, so I was working on the transmission on my 97 talon and and I had the tranny from my 95 in the shop next to me and I noticed there was an additional part bolted to my 95 transmission right before the slave cylinder.:hmm: After doing some searching I believe this is the restrictor. I'm not...

Hey tuners, I was thinking about my options for tuning my car when I get it put back together. I have already decided I want to run Link. Basically I want to get a small computer to keep in the car and tune and have devoted to tuning. I am a mac guy, so I was wondering if it would be possible to...
