If you want some cheap wires, I got some from my 1g motor you can take for free. I also have some other things laying around i.e. spark plugs,450 injectors, side mounts, 90 tb,..etc

Where are you located. I'd take those wires off your hands if you aren't too far away. I don't think I'd need anything else though. I'm going with a front mount, I should be fine with my 91 TB which i prefer over a 90 TB anyway, I already have someone hooking me up with 450's, I will use CVD's ECU to troubleshoot with, and once the car starts I have a 90 ECU to put on the car, a 1g MAS, stock dsm cams. I should be set I think. But if you're nearby, ya I'll pick up those wires. Otherwise I may just buy new wires for the talon, and throw the old ones in the colt.

Well I figured I'll just use this thread as a record of everything I'm doing. I've already ripped some shit out, but I'll just start where I'm at right now. Here's a couple current pics of the project, in it's supreme glorious form!

That's my Non-Cruise Throttle cable laying on the valve cover. Haven't gotten that totally installed quite yet.

Since they're non-intercooled, and since Nash seems to be doing damn fine with his stock fmic, I picked this up off a local guy. The fins were in pretty bad shape, but nothing a pair of tweezers, and about 4 hours couldn't finish. I also gave it a light coat of flat black spray paint, too keep things on the DL, ya hurrrd.

As you can see by the first 2 pics, she's been pretty neglected. Right now I'm going through, and redoing all the ghetto arse wiring under the hood. And excessive amount of wire nuts, and butt splices are present. I'm cleaning it up using a soldering iron and some heat shrink.

Also the TB could be better. It has a 90 style TB on it. I'm swapping in a spare 91 I have sitting here, with a lovely blue QPR isc/fiav blockoff plate!

I also removed all the emissions off it. That was one of the first things I did as it looked like a vacuum line bomb went off under there.

Once it is running, I plan on switching to a honda half sized radiator to make a little more room infront of the turbo. So if any of you have a spare honda half sized radiator laying around, hook a brotha up!

Anywho, it's not quite the project that TKR took on, but it's a decent one for me. I'll keep this thread updated with my progress.
