My 1991 Eagle Talon AWD: From the beginning

[Underdog_]

Great read on your Miata site. I also subscribe to all the mainstream car magazines as well as all the other tuner magazines. I've enjoyed reading your writeups and pictures more than the magazines, thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for the kind words and support! I've got a giant update coming soon and am also going to try doing a video update this time around, which I've been wanting to do for a long time.

 

[Underdog_]

Update time! I tried something a little different this time around, thanks in advance for checking it out! I'll post more detailed pictures and stuff from this update here in the coming days.

Nice video, I like the Lego guy! I look forward to you posting more updates and videos. I'm currently in Afghanistan so waiting for this video to down load took forever but was definitely worth it!

Thanks a ton, I'm glad you got a kick out of it! Regarding the garage, thank you- it's nice to have a spacious, clean, well-lit place to work after all these years.

Saw the pic of that dell laptop with ECMlink up on it and I was like "wait a minute!" thats exactly what mine will look like in a few weeks, same laptop, same color oak table, same ECMlink v3 .... all thats missing is the pile of paperwork, bills, tools, various empty parts and shipping boxes in the background, and the grease and scratches covering the laptop and worn off keys ! Love the nice clean garage and sure wish I had a GN like yours. Hopefully I'll one day have my 92 Talon TSI, 81 Regal (High School car, closest thing I could get to a GN), and a '91 GMC Syclone sitting in a nice clean garage like yours.

A+ on the super nice builds!

Thank you CrashGNX!

Regarding that old Dell laptop, I got that on Ebay many years ago and it has been a workhorse. It's lightweight, has a great screen, the battery lasts a long time and it is pretty rugged. I've had friends/family buy new windows laptops in the past couple years and they all seem like complete junk! This model makes an excellent ECMLink computer.

Good luck to you and I've got lots more stuff to come!

Thank you for the kind words! Good luck with your car. The water injection pump is mounted on the passenger side, close to where the stock sidemount intercooler used to live.

Tom,

Your documentation and overall presentation of your cars, your garage, your pictures, and your videos are all impeccable! I just got done watching your second video and it was awesomely amazing as well. I really like the dry humor thrown in throughout. Thanks for sharing and I'll look forward to hearing and seeing some more from you.

Crazy attention to detail and absolutely no corners are cut. Can't wait to see the new addition to the garage.

Hey great build I was looking into your how-to on water meth injection and was wondering where you purchased the reservoir and did you run your pump inside your car? I was thinking about mounting it on the firewall.

Thank you! I got the reservoir from ebay, it's listed under "DevilsOwn 2 quart Alcohol Water Injection Tank #4001" My pump is located where the stock sidemount intercooler used to be. Wherever you put the pump, make sure it is lower than your tank. Good luck!
