Finish putting Talon together or build Mirage???

[boosted99_420]

Ok so i am in a Delima I am not sure what to do. I bought a 91 AWD Talon and got a title but the title is in the original owners name but was registered when he sold it previously and didnt know someone registered it. And i bought it for $700. I now have a build motor, S259 turbo setup, FMIC etc. And can get a Mirage for $700 that runs and drives so i was thinking i can do an AWD swapped Mirage hatch or just finish Talon and wait on the real owner to come in and give me the good title. which wont be til January and im leaving for Ft. Benning in Jan.

Depends on your budget, the AWD Mirage swap aint going to be a bolt-on swap. You'll have to take in consideration the modifications required to mount the engine, axles, rear end, etc... Search in Mirage forums for 4G63 AWD swap. I have a real close friend who is just about finishing doing a 4G63 FWD 4thgen Mirage swap, and it wasnt a bolt-on job, and Im pretty sure a AWD swap aint going to be a bolt-on job either...

 

[Colt4G63 also]

I would probably do an AWD hatch if I didn't already have one.

I think that depends about ## budget and goals bc the situation with the title in the talon it doesnt looks that bad and u just need no finish it but with the mirage it's gonna be a lot of money if u cant do it by yourself and a lot of time to complete it just my 0.02 cents

Depends on how good you are with Fabricating.. If you have the time, tools, and know-how..
Mirage would be nice!
If not.. stick with the 1g..

Time and money is no object Im active duty army starting Jan. 15th im looking at atleast 6months on my off days. And im also getting a new Camaro so im gonna build what ever would be best for Racing. Im pretty good at electrical and some fab but i know a few guys that know how to do the cutting and welding of rear subframe and all that good stuff. I have also been looking on youtube watching Jafromobiles build of his to get some pointers and some know how to do the swap. The title is the EXACT reason i havent finished the talon. I have about $7000 in just the engine, turbo, fmic, intake mani, etc. so im not going to put it in and then have owner come in a take the car. Im pretty sure it would take me about 3-4 months in just preping and cutting on the body and modding it for the 4g63 and all which is nothing im not used to. Ive done about 2 to 3 weeks of reading on the topic . Plus if worst comes to worse i can leave it fwd until i get more time to cut the rear and all and make it awd. I mean i need a built transmission still to.

finish the talon and build the camaro

 

[dalawoi]

Talon just keep it a track car

 

[boosted99_420]

Camaro is going to be a ZL1 no need to build it more. (unless they do have the LS7 option this year). The car im building for track has to be street legal also im going to run street classes with it.

 

[9secSLC]

Finish the Talon!

 

[Black-Out]

AWD Mirage would be beast.....Just sayin'.....

 

[boosted99_420]

Well seems the DSMtuners world is torn pretty much even between the Talon and the Mirage Hatch.

 

[manny correa]

Mirage!! I would love for one day to make my 89 colt gt 4g61t awd.. be different for once. It's fun!

 

[boosted99_420]

Looks like ill be building a 4g63 AWD 92 Mirage Hatchback

 

[EisHERE]

mirage! would be interesting

 

[Thungar]

Mirage would be sick. if you made it awd even better. made it into a evo3 clone even better then that . but the wiring is a night mare I have heard.

[talon314]

i would jus go ahead and make the talon a track car or find an eclipse, laser, or talon shell for cheap.

 

[xxNocturnalxx]
