Street Build Resurrection of the Red 90 Talon

[awdtsi_90]

Anything near your lungs or heart I tend to overreact on. Perks or cons of my job.

Glad you’re okay. But seriously don’t be a tough guy. If it randomly gets hard to breathe or you feel like you can’t catch your breath, time for an er visit. Same with any new onset dizziness, tightness in the chest, etc.

I am with cracked & everyone else on this marty. If you need to be seen or have trouble breathing or foggy minded then please go be seen & get checked out.

I'm glad you're up and walking and hope a speedy quick recovery for you bubba.

P.s. You might find a nurse in there & get a date!

I owned a two tone silver and black GTS two cars before my GSX that looked much like this. I thought it was a pretty cool looking car for the mid 80's.

View attachment 759929

It had way too much tire for it's weight and tried to kill me every time it snowed by doing 180s on the expressway at speed. For some reason the rear diff grenaded with less than 60k on it (must have had a leak) and got replaced by my MR2.

Somehow i feel that both the Celica and the Accord were trying to capitalizing on the 80's Mustang. But then again, its possible that maybe all hatchbacks just start looking the same to me.

See the car show video.
I was the only 4 cylinder, I think. It was a super nice evening and the car crowd was ready!

All Wheels Night in Independence KS 4/11/25

Here is the friendly get together that happens the 2nd Friday of every month thru October usually. I shot the video just to show participation. I was the only car of our style there, although there were some cool and unique rides! I rolled in and got to park in the middle, so I stood on the 2...

[pieceofcloth]

Man, thank you for representing! I love these machines so much, they give me a sense of pride. That BMX looked clean too!(bicycle)

 

[awdtsi_90]

I thought the car show video was pretty cool. Seemed like a throw back in time. Downtown setting, older great looking cars. I do bet you had the fastest one there also!

I assume everyone I'm town knows you for building fast cars

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

I assume everyone I'm town knows you for building fast cars

Yeah, most know my DSMs and yes they know it's fast. There were a lot of Turbos hiding under hoods and plenty of Superchargers too!

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

Man I haven't posted an update on the 1st DSM I had in a while. I wanted some pictures so I cleaned her up and drove a couple miles to our local fishing lake for photo ops. I DID take a log there and one back and BOY DID SHE FEEL GOOD, pulling some timing for lack of fuel. I will address that but it sure did feel good to feel 32 lbs without the scramble button!.
Pictures, not great but they're NEW.

[1cleangsx]

She’s lookin GOOD Marty Is she still on stock suspension?

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

Yes she is. I keep looking for some adjustable shocks that fit my fixed income now. Just haven't spotted any Jeremy.

 

[MindBlowin03]

Looking good. I'm not a huge fan of that style hood but I'm definitely feeling it on your car.

Side note.. what action camera do you use for your videos I seen on YouTube?

Back on the good ol' DSMTalk days Ripper_XX(not to be confused with RippinGSX) had a red TSI with that same hood, and I always thought his car looked good. Was a military dude who lived in GA for a long time before he ended up selling it.

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

That hood was in the box, brand new for $500 so I bought it. At first, I was annoyed at the hump in the middle, but hell, I used to have to look around a dual quad tunnel ram SBC so, yeah, I got used to it and I don't mind it now. Hell, everyone knows it's no stock vehicle so might as well show it off instead of staying in it's box!
I will admit, it is a bit gaudy but sticks out saying "Hey, ya want some of this???"
Pops.
Thanks everyone. It sure feels good to drive and NOT SIT!!!!
@MindBlowin03 , it was a Pentax K1000 digital. I don't think any were from my phone so please excuse the fuzzy's...."It's Been A While" (STAINED) since I had to manually focus a camera.
"I DID The Best I Could For You...." but it's Been Awhile....
Well that was not information you asked. It is my S23 Galaxy Phone of all things, usually, unless it's a track video, in which it is a Go Pro8.

 

[enriquez2000]

Good to see the car out! Glad you got to stretch her legs

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

It was such a good feeling. She was a tad lean so I did a global adjustment, but videod while I changed it, just in case things went south, ya know?

 

[1cleangsx]

You know having been born in tha south, I always thought it was kinda funny for it to also be referred to as the opposite of “GOOD”

Yes she is. I keep looking for some adjustable shocks that fit my fixed income now. Just haven't spotted any Jeremy.

Looks like the AGX are still available. I don't think they cost much but I haven't shopped for them lately. Have you ever tried them? I like 'em. Mine have been on the car for about 15 years now. They are pretty stiff though. If you need to go fast on a really rough road then they are too stiff probably.

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

I don't drive my DSM's on rough or unpaved streets. I need to check them out, thank you!
Sorry Jeremy, it's the Ole saying and I'm Ole....

 

[We're on Boost]

I don't think they cost much but I haven't shopped for them lately

Ohh bad memory. I did shop these just 3 weeks ago for OhhShmit. They are right there on Rock Auto, $80 each for the rears and $104 each for the fronts. Rock Auto shows the same KYB part numbers that KYB does in their catalog (shot that I put above).
