Trboblu - 1995 Eagle Talon TSi AWD

[95talongirl]

Yup! Devin did the current tune on the car. I'm not comfortable enough with tuning to optimize the maps. I was able to get the MAF dialed in, and the idle and such, but when it come time for add timing and such... yeah no. ! I took it to someone who I knew could do it safely. I will probably be talking to him again in the spring about an additional map for race gas or E85; depending on what route I go.

Thank you for the kind words, its been a long road!

Just read top to bottom, and although I've read it before , its still a great read and even better turnout!

She may take your spot as my favorite 2G, Corey.

She may take your spot as my favorite 2G, Corey.

Wait til i get those skirts on. You'll change your tune. she already has my favorite 2G. Hers was a huge inspiration for me.

You know, the fact that this little build could inspire someone really means a lot to me. Glad that it can help you keep working on yours! I know this is not some super high-horsepower build, but I appreciate the kind words!

On that note, I picked up this little piece on the way to Cleveland this afternoon. My first "show car" piece, I guess you can say. Well, that and I have a fetish for carbon fiber.

It needs work, and I'm ok with that. I plan on fixing it up some. I've even though about painting the Eagle logo in blue on it somewhere. That' s what I like about pieces like this, they are not perfect, had for decent price, and thus provides a canvas for some experimenting!

Yes, it is on my hotel room bed. haha.

More boxes of stuff.

SPRING cannot get here fast enough!!!! I have some work to do!!

Cars come a long way looks great... I got a good laugh out of the ricerownerous comment

110 on the traps you'll be in the 12's easy with some seat time keep up the good work

 

[95talongirl]

Thanks! That's what I'm hoping for... a 12 this year!

This is how the poor car looks as of today:

 

[gho5tone]

That is a nice looking car cover. May I ask where you procure one?

 

[95talongirl]

Yup! California Car Cover. California Car Cover ? Custom Fit Car Covers, Motorcycle Covers, Cleaning Products, Garage Accessories, Collectibles and More

They are custom made for the car, so they fit perfect. Keep in mind, though... they are not cheap. But, in this case, you go "get what you pay for." These covers are amazing.

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

I can second those car covers. I have one on my car right now too.

Winter needs to be over NOW. The amount of ideas that have been swirling through my head has been driving me nuts. I've been toying with the idea of ditching the Mustang and Neon for a Stealth turbo as a new daily. Also got a quote on getting the Talon repainted. (Since I got the new hatch, as well as fenders.... so would be nice to have it all the same shade of blue). Or I even thought about just keeping the Mustang, and getting rid of the Neon in favor for another Talon daily. But depending on the car, I could do both the paint job and a car or just a newer car. So I really don't know what to do. Chances are I'll end up driving the 'stang another year. haha!

I've also been contemplating changing the turbo setup on the car. So was going back and forth with 16g upgrades, 20gs, FP stuff, some sort of Frankenstein turbo.... but then I stumbled across this:

So the car is going FP Green XL. It won't go on right away, as I still would like to see what can be done with the 16g. But its a decent deal, so going to snag it up. (I still have to pay for it, so nothing is set yet.. anyways.)


More of the turbo:

Nice cant wait til spring too got some things to clean up. Going green huh.

 

[95talongirl]

Yea, people always preach this "going green" stuff... so figured I'd give it a try.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Lol.

 

[tveljano]

Just read this all the way through for the first time, and I must say, AMAZING build man. Definitely keep up the good work! Reading this really makes me want to go out to the garage and work on mine, but it's too damn cold!! WTF is with this winter storm in spring crap? haha

Can't wait to see what you finally decide on turbo wise. I will definitely check back for progress!

 

[Arnie]

Just read/watched those video. This Tread was really interesting. Josh kept talking about this car, so I decided to finally look it up. Very nice car and sad that car was destroyed, but it was put to good use!

Clean car and I love the blue.

 

[95talongirl]

Thanks so much!

Glad that it can motivate others! I, too, and waiting patiently for the weather to break so that the giant pile of parts can be installed. I'm such a wuss when it comes to cold weather. That, and the garage is currently occupied.

BTW: The FP Green XL did arrive. I'm still out of town working, so I have not seen it, but was told it is there. So more photos shall come in a few days!

 

[Yomero]

Wow! Really impressive! Great work! Honestly I was about to ditch my gsx to get an Audi S6, but after reading your thread I'm back on track. Thank you! You're such an inspiration. Keep posting your progress.

 

[2nd Gen Mnstr]

I have been looking at similar turbos. let me know if you like it or not, and how much did it run ya if u dont mind me asking?

 

[95talongirl]

More than the ever popular holset.... But a good deal. Bought it off a friend, actually. I am excited to see what it will do, so will def. keep you posted!

 

[92AWDHX40]

Sounds good, its almost spring, time to get her on the road.

 

[95talongirl]

Got the car out today. Discovered a bad alternator, and thus damaged battery, too. So gotta address that. The alternator has been giving me issues for a few years now; kinda surprised it lasted this long. ha!

Also took another shot of the new turbo:

 

[92AWDHX40]

Sweet sorry about the alt, is it under warranty, its warmer so time to get more done.

 

[SBstar]

FP Green making me drool....

Get that 16g deep into the 12's this year and then throw that bad boy on there!
