Proj. Talon MR

[Jaei Sun]

It's back together, drives straight, rides nice (as good as K-Sports can get). Sears pulled the frame straight, Jeff aligned it, but I still need to replace the lower control arm as it maybe bent a little. No worry as I was planning on replacing the control arm bushing rubber w/ poly. I took off the Evo MR rims and swapped in the daily driver 18s / all seasons. No need to be burning up the Evo Yoko rubber on casual street driving.

Now I can start modding it. Won't be driving it during the winter months so I'll be able to work on it in the storage garage. So far planning on doing:

- Canadian seat belt conversion (hate the chokers + weight reduc.)

- Headliner started to come down quite a bit, so I'll pull the headliner out and redo it w/ black alcantara in an attempt to remove some of the porno-red from the interior.

- Retrofit the 2g crash beams in the front and the back. (quite a bit of weight reduc.)

- Replace the battery with gel type and relocate it to the trunk.

- Modify the washer reservoir in the trunk to work as the washer for the front wipers (like how the 2gs have it), and remove the front reservoir completely.

- Modify the mid 90s caddy plastic undertray that I got, to fit the front bumper.

There is a few more things, like actual performance mods but those I'm planning in spring time, e85, eIII 16g...

Looks brand new. Stunning

Awesome, u gonna bring it tomorrow?

I'm interested in some of your mods we will have to talk about them.

[Jaei Sun]

Just finished a few appearance mods, before it goes in storage / down for power upgrades.

I never cared for the amount of amber on rear of the talons, so I had the center section painted body color, and did red translucent paint over the tails.

Next, last time I was junkyard'n I grabbed a set of side marker lights from a 03 Outlander as they are the same part as the Dsms. Cut off the red reflectors and epoxied on some clear lens made by Wesbar.

I still want to try to get the tint done before it gets garaged for the rest of the winter, can anyone recommend good places since the Plymouth SS is gone?

Tien and the guys from SS have a mobile tint install now. Tint Pros is the name. 612 229 5691 is the number listed for them.

Car looks great. Love a white 1g.

[Febo]

I highly recommend Tint Pros. They did my tint and it turned out great, good guys to work with.

Little Update:

Just got done changing most of the interior color from the bloody vag red to black.

-removed all of the carpet (floor, door, side tunnel, & floor mats) and power washed the s**t outta it. Then bought about 12 bottles of liquid black RIT dye, used a 50 gallon storage tote from Walmart, and alot of almost boiling water. Soaked the main carpet for about 14 hours, the other smaller pieces about 4 hours. Let dry for about 4 days. Then re-installed.

- bought 3 yards x 60" of foam backed synthetic suede from yourautotrim.com + 4 cans of Heavy duty headliner spray by Permatex. And redid the headliner, door inserts, and rear hatch cover. Still debating on maybe covering more parts inside with this stuff as it looks, and feels nice.

I like it! I'm a fan of porno red dsm's lol.

[scheides]

Haha nice! You can almost see a hint of the red still through the black, I think it looks great! Now how about the seats?

[goodhart]

Looks much better than the "bloody vag" red. LOL

I have 2 good condition 1g door panels with the stock black/grey pockets on the bottom if you wanted different ones.
