Nice progress! What did you use to coat the underbody? Looks good

really like your garage and great progress.

Thanks guys I hope its running before the end of the year! Its my buddys uncles garage but I sure wish it was mine has every thing you could need an more. Duplicolor undercoating make sure you clean an SCRUB what ever your painting so it sticks well.

Well I got some free time yesterday an put some time in to the talon. Things are moving along nicely thanks to every one for the help an support! Work is slowing down so we will see how the extra cash flow goes but the stash pile of parts is still stacked high so theres plenty of wrenching to still be done. On to the good part the pics!

keep it coming! my build hit a brick wall a few weeks ago because money is tight. I'll keep going but you are my motivation specially that you where unemployed (if i remember correctly)at one point so it gives me a PURPose to continue!

how do you do it? do you live under a cardboard box for a washing machine because I cant keep up even with a decent Job.

Yes I was unemployed when the car first started to come together but shortly knew it wouldnt get far wishing on hopes an dreams. Job hunt started an what turned from one job to three, construction, sales rep for kelloggs garden supplys an a cook/bouncer at a bar the last 4 months have been nothing but none stop working 60+ hours a week while trying to stay on top of the talon.

Cardboard box now way, two story 4 bedroom house. I just have a sweet spot for DSM's an having awesome supporters like you give me a PURPose to save a DSM.

Sorry to hear your builds on pause youll find a way to get it together! It always takes time, if you need any help getting your car going feel free to PM me.

Got another update for everyone. the pics are self explanatory so ill let them do the talking.

10an

intermediate shaft

New axles an fluidampr

Fuel lab FPR

Thanks for checking in!

 

[ys0blupandab3ar]

update time! So we started setting up the intercooler piping an quickly came to a hault, We had turbo to radiator fitment problems.

We turned the turbo housing up but that placed it right next to the exhaust manifold an left no room for the wastegate.

I wasnt happy with this so jumped online an searched threw the half sized/honda raditor threads but couldnt find any thing that fit my needs till I came across a afco scirocco. Yeah its a pretty penny for a radiator but hell I had no other way to go an the last thing I want is for my car to over heat. So I ordered that bad boy an it will fit right where my a/c condenser went.

21x13x3

Thanks for looking, an yes my car is a little dirty I live in the desert.

 

[ys0blupandab3ar]

Ill give ya a little taste of whats new.

Ill throw some more pics up once I get the wire harness in.

 

[born2tune]

Awesome, Im at the same point as you.. sort of. Where did you get your silicone hoses if you dont mind me asking. I originally had blue but I want black ones and I was hoping you got them for cheap so you can hook me up with a link. Are you doing a harness tuck or just a wire delete?

Good to hear your build is still on the move!

The black couplers I orderd came from ebay about $8-$12 each all of them are 4 or 5 ply I wouldnt waste my money on 3 ply.

Doing a slight tuck on the harness an fixing a few broken plugs.

 

[buhay6]

Nice build man, your making fast progress! I've been meaning to ask how many things of POR-15 did you go through to do your sub frames and stuff?
