man, you're not kidding. I just bought this car a few weeks back with a spun rod bearing so this is my first time pulling this motor and getting a chance to look everything over.
One of the previous owners of the gsx I just picked up decided to spray paint most of the tail lights and the back center piece so I've been wet sanding the paint off the best I can for right now.
So i've been binge reading your build for the past 3 days and all I can say is WOW, job well done. Maybe I missed it but what's your IG so I can follow along the journey.

Quick back story, I'm currently deployed and purchased a 1G Talon sight unseen and hit it delivered to my house about a month ago. A few weeks back, Hurricane Sally hit our area and with the wife being busy with work, didn't have time to check on the car until just the other day. It's seen...
So I've wanted a 1GA Talon since I was 16/17 and never was in a position to find a clean one for the right price over many years. Fast forward to 34 and I've had quite the variety of cars over the years and currently have a Trailblazer SS as my daily and a 2008 Audi R8 as my cruising car...
I've been a member on this site for quite some time but after many years and many many different vehicles, I've finally picked up a 1g TSi AWD Talon that I've wanted since I was 16. The 1g will go through an overhaul once I get back from my current deployment. Other current vehicles are an 07...
