Hello all,
About this time last year i became the proud owner of a '97 Talon TSi AWD. I rescued it from a friend of mine who just had no time or initiative to fix it. She had been sitting in his yard for 2 years and was sitting in a lot behind the local car dealer for 5 or 6 years before that, so needless to say, I had some work ahead of me. Luckily i found your amazing forum along with vfaq. So pretty much i am still tangled up in the ongoing process of fixing and improving upon this awesome car (just my opinion).
Currently i have swapped in a Shep Stage 2 transmission due to some bearings being wiped out and 1st gear being ground out, inside the original transmission. I have Eibach springs on KYB AGX shocks that need to be swapped eventually. From the o2 housing back i am running 3" exhaust straight pipe back to a magnaflow muffler. I am not sure who made the intake but it is descent. Still on stock boost and stock turbo with the SMIC.
I am constantly looking for pointers on what direction to go and would love any help that can be tossed my way. Trust me i already know to use the search feature as it is very very helpful.
Thanks for all the help I have already recieved just by searching around and reading. You guys are great.
