So i welded all of that up at work yesterday (forgot pics) , then me n my buddy got to work on the car, i repainted/rewelded some pinholes in the weld on the uicp, Painted my Valve cover, installed my polished stainless plug wire cover, did a full emissions removal, relocated the battery to the hatch, re installed the SMIM, and relocated some other stuff.
All in all it was a really hot long day but heres some pics even though they suck cause it was getting dark on me.

So ya plans for the cook out are.....
Bumper, Shave toenail spoiler, fix small exhaust leak where hanger ripped off, and hopefully tires.

thanks for looking,
Tom

[notsostockgalant]

picked up some new tires, and started shaving the toenail spoiler got it off and plugged up the holes just startin on body work gunna have pics soon.

Having trouble with the shifter cable bracket on the trans staying tight tried locktite and it still came loose gunna look at it closer, also messed with an extension rod aswell this car wont shift for the life of me.

so thats about it for now still trying to locate a 2g bumper locally, then i can maybe make one of the wed meets if nothing else ill drive down without the bumper cover although its embarassing lol.

[notsostockgalant]

well heres some pics now with front bumper lol, went up to Alexandria and picked up the 2ga talon bumper throwedgsx had for sale on here, makes the car look 100x better.
Heres some pics with the front bumper and without the toenail spoiler i was a little shakey in some of the pics so bear with me.

After the 2gb bumper is painted which will probably be this weekend, ill pull off the license plate bracket and mount the plate to the factory 2gb plate holder for now.

The 2gb Talon rear spoiler is pretty easy to put on as well. I think I drilled two holes if I remember right.

[notsostockgalant]

^^^^ Ya i looked into that as an option but i couldnt find one at the time so i sealed up all the holes for the spoiler in the hatch as well as the one for the wiper.

[notsostockgalant]

I suppose im about due for an update, the car has been performing very well actually just been fixing things here and there.

The rear wheel bearing was making a good amount of noise so i decided to replace it who knew what a task that would become

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o212/allmotorpower/Tsi%20Awd/IMG00147-20101105-1328.jpg

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o212/allmotorpower/Tsi%20Awd/IMG00145-20101105-1328.jpg

little bit of heat and the axle came right out haha but then i looked at the tire i took off the drivers side because i put new pads on the rear brakes at the same time and saw this,

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o212/allmotorpower/Tsi%20Awd/IMG00141-20101030-1800.jpg

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o212/allmotorpower/Tsi%20Awd/IMG00142-20101030-1800.jpg

The cap seperated from the sidewall on the inside of the tire that was all in all not that good of a day lol.

Then on saturday out enjoying the snow it appeared as if my clutch was slipping, which i looked closer and rememberd this sound all too well, the front axle seperated once again, mind you this axle has like 500 miles on it because the one that was on the car when i bought it did the same thing.

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o212/allmotorpower/Tsi%20Awd/IMG00152-20101115-1705.jpg

So i figured if they want 65 for the reman which includes like a 70 dollar core id buy the brand new one instead for a whopping 75 bucks

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o212/allmotorpower/Tsi%20Awd/IMG00154-20101115-1713.jpg

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o212/allmotorpower/Tsi%20Awd/IMG00153-20101115-1713.jpg

All in all the axle job went well on the front.

I then turned my attention to the exhaust I only have two pics of where it rusted off in the back, it was also like swiss cheese around the O2 sensor so i rebuilt it with new pipe and welded a new bung in, damn 10 year old buschur racing exhaust and rusting itself away haha.

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o212/allmotorpower/Tsi%20Awd/IMG00149-20101105-1329.jpg

thats about all i have for an update for now, I plan on possibly getting new motor mounts or using a writeup for DIY Poly mounts on dsmtalk, also a FMIC, and some new ball joints and suspension bushings along with an alignment.
Thx for looking

Tom

Looks like you're making pretty good progress as of late. Good choice on the 2gb talon front, they're prob my favorite combo when it comes to 2g's(2gb talon front on a 2ga talon body).
