So i picked up my first DSM....

[caspers_dsm]

Hello, I am new to the forum, Great Info.

I just picked up a Talon TSi in a trade. I would say its not bad, all in all. Its missing a few things, which should be fun to figure out. It was taken apart by previous owner.
The guy gave me a 4g63 short-block and some other parts with it. I know it needs turbo-back exhaust, MAF and intake pipe, oil lines....amongst other things.

Here are some pics.

Thats what i hear, luckily, i have some wrench time under my belt...

I am knew to DSM, which is why i picked the Talon. I do regret not getting the AWD. I am tired of most other "compact" cars and i can't swing an FD right now...

Thanks for the welcome! I can't wait to get some parts for this thing.

**EDIT**
damn, just saw the sticky..eyes must be going bad.

Nothing like the feeling of driving your own DSM for the first time. Get your Talon up and running! Congrats on owning your first DSM! What are your future plans for it?

 

[TearsForTalon]

Haha awesome trade in! Did you get that front bumper or did it come with it? If you got it, where did you get it from?

 

[caspers_dsm]

The front bumper came with it, so did the headlights.
I love honda's, but the association that now goes with them....

As far as plans...nothing special.
