Hi everyone!
So my brother has finally been able to get me to buy a DSM. After him being a constant pain in the rear about how my cars were slow and now as much of a drivers car and all that I was given the rare opportunity to drive a very clean almost stock 1g Talon,a 1990 Eagle Talon TSI to be exact. I hate to say it but he was right. (Except for my z32 that car is awesome). After driving the Talon I sold my '06 Mustang GT the next day and bought it. The car itself already had a few mods such as the addition of a boost gauge (not that dinky stock one), EGT gauge, Eliminated the balance shaft, a greddy blue timing belt, dual piston front calipers, KYB Gr2 shocks, stainless brake lines, and EVERYTHING STILL WORKS! A/C included! The car even has the original window sticker and literature from the dealer in '90! Owned originally by an original member of #BADSM and was bought by a local DSM tuner TedSpec who I then bought it from, I hope some people out there can appreciate all of that as much as I do. So with 140k on the clock me and my bright red and black Talon named Elmo start our boosted journey towards a reliable (HAHAHA, Reliable? DSM? HAHAHA) Yet powerful sleeper car for the streets. AS of now I have a full set of poly bushings from energy suspension on its way and i will be replacing the entire cooling system shortly as the upper rad hose looks old and i may as well swap the radiator and all the turbo coolant lines now while I have the coolant drained. I swear I spend more money on "while I'm in there" kind of jobs. Anyways I am very excited and will continue to post as i go along with the build.
Thank you!
