DSMINMN's '91 Talon TSi AWD

[DSMINMN]

I want to be able to take it to the strip, such as BIR and put it to use. Sure I might drive it during summer every once in awhile, but probably not all that much consdiering how much I plan on putting into it.

As far as goals go, I just want to make a nice ammount of power. IDK if 650-700HP is asking WAY too much with the type of setup I was looking at getting.

And I can understand that.

Looks like fun, keep us updated on it!
Oh I'm sure it will be! lol

Mini-update.

I went through the car, and layed everything out that I could pick-up/move by myself. I noticed I am missing a few things such as; a turbo, turbomanifold, intake manifold, driveshaft and such. The turbo I was aware I wasn't going to have and ultimately it doesn't really matter. I hadn't PLANNED on using most of the stock parts anyway, but it would have been nice to make some money off of what I don't use.

Otherwise I completely sorted everything in the car and put a type of "order" to the randomness that was the parts inside of my car. Hahaha.

[DSMINMN]

Do work.

Some of you might be thinking "Kid! Give it up with the picture posting of the same spot!", lol. But; I am too happy of how the dent removal went that I have to show it off a little.

Granted, the area could use a little more love, but that will come when the car gets emptied out.

I supposed I could give an over-view of the car since Friday until tonight.

Dent be gone!
http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr38/imports4life/1008112212-00.jpg

Filler be present :/

http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr38/imports4life/1008112212-01.jpg

I would see no other reason for there to be body filler there unless the car has had body work done before. Either way, it seems to have been done correctly. Well, that is until I cut into the stuff. I had no clue what it was until I cut through and smelt it. GHEY'!

How many idiots does it take to remove a 1g antenna?

http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr38/imports4life/1009111559-00.jpg

Answer is; 5 idiots, 4 sets of vice grips, 3 different kinds of antenna "removal tools", 2 screw drivers and 1 cut-off wheel. lol

You KNOW you have a MN/ND car when you have to take the bumper off so you can pull out a grinder, just to get the bolts off that are holding the bumper cover onto the actaul bumper.

Car harness is out. Now to see if there is anything I can delete from it.

The block is on the stand, so let the fun begin!

[DSMINMN]

Almost forgot. As for color ideas, this is what I have come up with:

http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr38/imports4life/CL_MG_9106-BelmarPG-02-1.jpg

I am sticking with the 1ga body style, so this is just a color idea. These might give everyone a better idea being it is a 1ga Talon.

I have also been contemplaiting doing this with the center section of the tail lights.

http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr38/imports4life/l_0bd4395e8d2a45aba730a97361fc78d6.jpg

I may even tint the tail lights as well. I am still looking for picture to help me fully visualize what it would look like on a blue car.

Finally, these are the wheels I have decided on.

http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr38/imports4life/Rims.png

Once again, I am sticking with the 1ga body style. Tirerack just does not seem to have anything other than a 1gb. It is close enough for you to get the feel though.

Thanks for looking.

Coming along good man.
