Love it! Just drive it and have fun. A little tuning to make sure everything is healthy and some miles is all this thing needs!

Where are you located again? I'd love a ride sometime if it ever works out!

Yeah for sure, im off of 62, just north of the airport

Nice job! It's cool to see that some people can still put shells back on the road. :thumbsandtoesup:

Thanks, I've put a lot of hard work into this. I'm considering selling this if anyone is interested.

Today I installed a rear strut tower brace, cleaned the bottom side of the hood. Took some pictures. I've been driving this to work the past couple days. I've put about 500 miles on it since assembly.

That makes me miss it a small amount now. I'd still like to get to see it, you should pm me your # again, I lost it when my phone went kaput a few weeks ago.

I always wanted to paint those wheels bronze since they were my backup wheels just to see how it would look.

I was thinking of having them powder coated black, bronze would look nice though, didn't even think of that.

Today I aligned the talon, it was way off, I'll post a picture of the printout soon. Drives way better now. Also, found 1 of the u-joints on the driveshaft has some play. Im going to swap it with my other driveshaft sitting in the garage, it has good u-joints. I also noticed a lot of backlash in the rear diff, and a howling noise around 50mph. Im going to swap driveshafts to see if it improves otherwise I'll be looking for a replacement rear LSD.

Should get some driveshaft bushings as well, you'd be surprised at how solid it makes everything feel.

Alignment print-off, handles great now, all the eccentric bolts turned like butter.

So I just changed the rear diff oil. The magnetic drain plug had a quite a bit of metal shavings, but definitely not the worst I've seen. The fluid was pretty thin, very dark and didn't smell like gear oil at all. With the fresh 75w90 and some limited slip supplement, I'm hoping my "howling" noise improves or goes away completely. I'm going to keep daily driving it, so far about 700 miles on it since the initial assembly of the car. I'm also hoping to get the cash together so I can bring it down to DB for a tune.

I'm assuming you're talking about the 2 driveshaft carrier bearings, my plan is to replace those with the new u-joints for sure.
