Project Talon 09

[Cammaxon]

When I was in Iraq I bought a slow rusted out 2g, The car was knocking, dying, had mushy suspension, brakes were shot, turbo was creeping, the drivers door was completely rusted on the bottom, there was rust all over the car and the rockers were falling out, the rims were bent the interior was worn the speakers were blown and the gauges were from 1984. Being bored and having money to waste after selling a Cadillac and STI, I hopped on line and bought just about every part I could find on ebay, forums and random car sites. My goal was to build a quick, reliable daily driver that turned heads. I found out why every one on mitsustyle hates body kits, went all summer without sleep wasted way too much money on bondo and had a lot of fun J
Lots of people on this site ridiculed me for buying up Evo parts, and said I should just get one, and it probably would have been cheaper L and faster in the long run but I’m very happy with how it turned out.
Wish I could have pulled a few more ponies out of it but I have to thank Julian for watching the sun set and rise putting my 20g on.
I can’t drive in the winter any more but thanks for the suspension Dave and sorry my stock shit was so rusted!
Let me know what you think, I know that everyone hates body kits, I understand why, its way to much work and money for something that doesn’t increase performance.


The Pics are a little out of order and i didnt take 1/2 as many pics as I should have. The end of this summers work is at the end make sure u check them out.

coool. something I dont see everyday.

[99spyda]

Very cool to see it all come together!!!

I just don't like body kits cause they're fugly. Can appreciate the work put in though. Color and body kit ruins it for me though.

[tehehodi]

that color is my favorite color....what did you do with teh stock front bumper?

[sleepydsm]

Hmm. I'm glad you did the work yourself, but the kit ruined it for me. Otherwise good job. And I hope the jambs are at least not forest green like the engine bay is....


I hate body kit's because about 80% of them make cars look ridiculous/ghey, ruining the sexy lines the car already had. And the fact you chose the "Blitz" style; that was terrible the minute it was on the big screen in fast and furious 1, over played and over riced. Just sharing my two cents.

i gave it to 95TSI he hasa forest body and the older bumpers.

Let me know what you think, I know that everyone hates body kits, I understand why, its way to much work and money for something that doesn’t increase performance.


Its not that they cost way too much money and doesn't increase performance, they just typically change the lines of the car, sometimes in a graceful/smooth way, and sometimes they add sharp edges and angles that aren't really pleasing to the eye. Add to it a bright/harsh color and some (no offense) cheap looking tail lights, and well....I don't like it :) What is that wing off of, a wrx? It really doesn't fit the car IMHO.

With that said, it looks clean, its cool that you fixed up an old/tired dsm, and I like that you put evo seats in it. I always hated the seats in my 2G.



Lots of people on this site ridiculed me for buying up Evo parts, and said I should just get one, and it probably would have been cheaper [/FONT]L[FONT=&quot] and faster in the long run but I’m very happy with how it turned out.
Wish I could have pulled a few more ponies out of it but I have to thank Julian for watching the sun set and rise putting my 20g on.

DSM's must be driven in the winter, its their birthright! Have you had it tuned yet? Let's see the power mod list and some dyno results! Maybe you'll win our hearts that way ;)
