What's up fellas/ladies?
I just picked up a 95 Talon TSi. It is my first DSM. After much "encouragement" from Obsidian I drove to OK to pick it up. The last owner is here somewhere too. I've been around the car forums since 07 so I have a good idea how this works. My last project was an 02 Sentra Spec V. I did a laundry list of shit to it but got bored after 5 years and sold it last November. 4 months without a project got boring so I decided to find something else. Was originally looking at 5th gen Preludes because of the H22A4 motor. Then I found this one and ended up pulling the trigger. For now this will be a learning period for me so I can get to know the car. First things are I need to troubleshoot why the ABS light is on so I can fix that. once that is done I can get it inspected and on the road. Then the balance shaft seal leaks so that is will be fixed. I will most likely just do the bs delete while I am in there. From there I am looking at replacing ALL the suspension bushings and possibly go to coil overs. Right now the pass side rear creaks and it drives me insane. Then the brakes will be gone through, then it will be time to play with the power. Going fast is cute but worthless if you can't stop and turn when you want. Eventually I will do an AWD swap but that is later down the road.
Sorry for the essay, but thats me and my new toy in a nutshell.
Hope to learn as much as possible while I am here.
Car is now for sale due to a divorce.
