Glad to see somebody putting some quality effort into their 2G. Why do you assume your t-case needs replacing? Might as well just flush it out and re-fill it and see how it goes.
Looking good! Great to see another "old guy" in here still wrenching on these cars.
I bought that 90 Talon back in 1999 from the original owner. He took that pic when he was in SF at some point. Was a great pic and I've used it ever since I bought the car. Sadly I went through a divorce in 2006 and sold the car with just 52k miles to a buddy in Arkansas who ended up getting it repossessed a couple years later while he had the head and ECU pulled off. It was in mint condition while I had it. I posted trying to locate it last year but didn't find much. Someone said they think it's in the KC area and not nearly in the condition I remember. I had rebuilt the block with Wiseco pistons, installed a full TD06 20G replacing the blown Buschur 20G, added GM MAF, but never got it dialed in before I sold it. It was driveable but not track ready at that point. I'd still love to find it but it's probably been ragged on and nowhere near what it used to be.Very likely i've asked this before but where did you get that pic in your avatar? It's a very old pic.
I remember that thread. I didn't know the original owner personally but I knew him as a member of MDSOG.

Yeah he was an older guy even back then. Scott Miller I believe was his name. He had quite a bit of work done at Buschur's; 20G, 264 cams, ported head, fmic, HKS VPC and GCC, 550s, Walbro. It's best time was 11.52 in 1/4 when he had it. It dumped lots of oil under boost when I bought it, figured it was the turbo as it had been on there a while at that point, so I replaced it with the TD06 20G. Still dumped oil out the exhaust and figured the rings were shot and eventually pulled the motor. He had ran some sort of nitro fuel additive and I figured the rings didn't last because of it. Wish I had never sold it as I was just getting it back to it's former glory.I remember that thread. I didn't know the original owner personally but I knew him as a member of MDSOG.

What thread is that? I'd love some pics since I never took many of it.I went and looked at the old thread. That car was pretty. I was fortunate to own a 90 from 92 on starting at 35k. It was mint until it got older and I had to start parking it outside. I crushed it a decade ago.
