My project 90 Talon AWD!!

[vargs55]

This is my project car that I have been working on for about 6 months now. I figured I would post up some pics to see what you all think. Its a 1990 Tsi AWD, I have done the complete front end swap. Complete rear end swap(no pics at this time). Painted the engine bay and installed a FMIC. Its far from dont but its a start.

Lookin good. you keeping them wheels?

 

[turbolover10]

Great job so far!! Keep it up.

 

[vargs55]

Yeah most likely keeping them. This is the 5th car they have been on. So why not.

 

[vargs55]

The reason it looks like a moster truck is becouse there is absolutely nothing left under the hood. And the tires are way to big!!

 

[turbolover10]

Yea I know, I edited that .. It does look super high when its striped down to nothing though doesn't it..

 

[vargs55]

Yes it does. It doesnt even have any interior in it now. I took it to the extreme.

No idea why you'd give up popup sexiness for fixed beams. :b

 

[cruisintalonawd]

Lmao ^^^^^^

 

[vargs55]

I already have pop-up sexiness. Look in the backgrond on the first pic. Its my 91 AWD.

 

[FlatBlackAndy]

Looks like it is coming along nicely. I like that FMIC. Where did you get it from?

 

[vargs55]

The FMIC is a kit I got off of ebay a good while ago. Its JDM Sport, I havnt seen them on there forever. I think it was $220 shipped to the door with all the pipeing.

 

[cruisintalonawd]

Thats a preety good price...
Since your keeping the wheels what kind are they so I can try to find some

 

[vargs55]

The wheels are Enkei's. I beleive there RS5's. I bought them off a buddy of mine who had them on a cavalier. Then put them on his 420a eclipse. Then I bought them put them on my cav, and now they have been on both of my AWD's.

 

[cruisintalonawd]

ok thanks

 

[90laserRSfwd]

have pic's or a wiring diagram for the headlights? I'm interested in doing the same for my 91 tsi, i have

 

[vargs55]

No I just went to the local U-Pull it an bought the correct harness. Just plug it in. As for the tails, I havnt got that far yet. And from what ive been reading theres a little to be done back there.

 

[TalonTSIawd1991]

Hey man, the car looks real nice, you still got a long way to go but I bet its going to turn out nice.

 

[KiNg MaRtY]

Yeah most likely keeping them. This is the 5th car they have been on. So why not.

I have a set of MOMO Sports that have been on various cars also.

Cars looking good.

 

[marshall13]

Car is looking good, keep at it! I got a set of Kyowa Racing KR518's that don't fit my Eclipse, but they fit my Sunfire I had. So I'm assuming that the 1g's lug pattern is 5x100 instead of 5x114.3 like the 2g, or do the wheels have lug holes to fit both?

 

[vargs55]

Yeah my wheels are universal 5 lug. The 1gs are the same as 2gs. These wheels were also on a 2g at one point in there life. And thanks for the compliments. I just got a new job makin $3 more on the hour so I might actually have a little extra cash to get on the ball and finish it.

 

[xtr3me]

Looks like its comming along great!

 

[spawn7037]

No idea why you'd give up popup sexiness for fixed beams. :b

I agree. Thats the one thing that defines us early model owners form the rest of them. It almost seems like ## just conforming to something. But hey its your car not mine.

 

[Skip01]

Looks like a fun project car hehe looks like ya got her stripped and ready for some power

 

[silvreclips]

Looks good man. You got a lot of work ahead of you but it should turn out very nice. Good luck
