update* 92 talon restoration

[eclipse_16g]

ok it all started with my 90 gsx, over two years put pretty much all of my money and alot of my time into.
This summer due to a cracked rim that couldnt handle a turn at 75mph on the highway, i lost my 90 gsx, but with luck nothing under the hood was damaged except a slight indent in the radiator.
i now have this 92 talon tsi shell which i ploan to swap everything from my 90 gsx into this new car. including the parts that i never got to install on the old car. ( aem wideband, 20g turbo, 650 injectors, 255lph walbro fuel pump, eibach pro kit springs, epaxi neo afc.) my 90 setup which consists of a slow boy racing stage 2 head, bc cams, fidanza adjustable cam gears, and c.o.p. setup, big 16g, dejon intake, 2g manifold/ tial 40mm external wastegate w/ open dump, act 2100, punishment fmic, afpr, hallaman bc, will be going in.
i hope to hit twelves this season at the track, im gonna use this blog to keep track on my progress.

Keep up the work man I'll be checking out your blog as we have a similar build up. What was the suspension setup for your other ride? As well as wheel size? There's very little wheel gap

i had h&r lowering springs, and kyb agx adjustable struts, but they were beat to hell, so i just baught brand new eibach pro sport springs and new set of agx adjustables.
whats your setup?

i'm havign a problem with the doors hiitting the fenders when i open them, anyone else having this problem? i need a solution.

 

[motozachl]

i have the kyb and megan springs. they just don't seem as low as yours though however. hmm you can bash in the door like my previous owner did

you can adjust the fenders forward!! i did it on my car before i could even have the problem. i know so people that have the problem and i didnt want my car to end up like that. btw is the interior standard. that is sexy black and tan. i wish i had that interior!!!!!!

 

[eclipse_16g]

yeah thats the big reason i bought the car for the interior, its hard to find tan leathers and black together in such good shape. thanks im gonna work on getting that fender off on monday.
