Ok so im proably selling my 90 awd TSi after I get a 92 awd TSi that I have my eye on. Someone just sudjested this and it seems very possibile.

Just wondering how hard do you think it would be to install S15 headlights onto a 92-94 talon?

Seems like it would just be a lil cutting of the fender?

much much more than that.... modify hood, bumper, fender, grille, headlight wiring harness. create brackets / mounts and if you plan on driving at night they have to be properly adjusted and angled, or have adjustablity still functioning... tons of work to make it fit properly too. it would look nice however.

its been done on a 2g

i dont see how it couldnt be done on a 1gb

go do it

Are you talking about the same 1g on the top of dsmtrader?..That would look great if the whole car wasnt riced out of its mind..

dremel hacksaw and fiberglass bondo or welder + sheetmetal. of course it can be done... and i hope you know what it takes to do it or you shouldnt even be contemplating the whole project. however, make sure you do a write-up if it turns out good

Is it just me or does that hood split down the middle???

just incase it does

oh hell even if it dont

 

[Dericsh]

it is split, it opens from the middle outward

What a f.cuking waste of money IMO.

The headlights would look cool on your car, just dont paint it stupid and cut the hood in half

i think those are mazda 6 headlights. They dont work too well because now it looks like there is a forehead... they had to widen that centerpiece between the tail lights and it looks dumb.

 

[Twizzle]

its got flames and a bodykit...it doesnt need a split hood or those lights to make it look ugly. :thumbdown

It's a lame idea, imo. There is enough stuff to throw money at on a 1g without wasting it on headlights that don't fit.

Performance isn't the only thing that matters to EVERYONE. He is asking about the headlights, not what else he can buy. That's common logic.

I think the conversion would be similar the the conversion of the 2Gs. Cutting, welding, etc. It'd get a little pricey. I think it'd look cool to see S15s on something different.

 

[HighPsi92GST]

as with any conversion, its going to take work and $$$ but is possible. wouldnt look too bad imo

Well it all depends on IF I get this paticuler 92 awd tsi... I am considering just keeping my 90, painting it black, smoked lights, silver Revo wheels, CF oem hood, gunmetel shaved valve cover, black shaved intake, chrome pipeing. etc. etc. etc.

I would be putting most of my money into the suspention and looks more so than raw preformance. proably just get the full GM maf intake setup from SBR and a full exhaust, put in the 255lph walbro I have and call it a day.


the 92 is damn tempting though, already has a greddy FMIC, full intake and exhaust, newly rebuilt engine & tranny, 20G turbo, fuel support for all of it.. runing a 13.1.... thing is blue with a black hood though But then it's only $3,600 too....


stupid tempting shit! Im also considering saying good bye to dsm's and getting a S13 hatch back, toss a SR20DET in it and have fun drifting & burning up tires...
