Just buy Steves turbo. It's a helluva deal imo. Screw those holset junk turbos.

Re: My Talon
 

holset turbos aren't junk don't be ignorant just because you don't know.

Re: My Talon
 

junk. oo0o0oo0o

Re: My Talon
 

I don't get the 0o thing, I don't speak emo.

Anywho, whats the new plan for the talon. How are you breaking transmissions?

Re: My Talon
 

lol. I saw a pretty sweet holset on a moving truck today.

Re: My Talon
 

Hold on, let me get your call center script out for you "Mike from Ohio".

Kevin, post some pics up when you get it done!

Re: My Talon
 

The car runs and drives. I put a shitty tranny in so I could drive it.

Holset works fine, good spooling and nice size turbo, it just is having all these dumb problems. Which makes me wish I never jumped on that bandwagon. lol.


I still might just sell this car. If so Ill just get a Shep stg 1. FOR SALE. Or Shep 4 and a twin disk. KEEP!

Re: My Talon
 

I want twin disc..lol

Re: My Talon
 

Keep the car you fuck, You dont owe anything on it and it is what you have always wanted in a 1g. Paint it black so your happy 100% with it. I know you to well and if you sell it your going to end up buying another 1g within a year of selling that one. Its been like that since right after high school.

Re: My Talon
 

Gotta agree with mike, I think you will regret selling it. Just continue doing what you're doing, make the car the way you want it, and enjoy it. 1g's aren't getting any younger, and there aren't too many like yours.

Re: My Talon
 

He's about as indecisive about keeping his car as you are about keeping your car a 2.0 or 2.3 ;). BTW, I met this dori dori dude that said your car is way cool. Brandon from New Brighton is his name.

Re: My Talon
 

Again, I don't understand. DOn't you answer phones for a living I don't.

Kevin, your 1G is awesome, from what mike says it sounds like to be perfect for you, you would have it in black, so make the car how you want it and keep it.
I'm not sure what your power goals are either, but that fresh motor has got to be nice.
I'm sure you could sell that holset pretty quickly since its pretty popular now.

Re: My Talon
 

I do live in new brighton, I think I know who your talking about. Does this brandon guy drive a red 240sx with a sr20 in it?

Re: My Talon
 

Paint it black and keep it! Now that your getting rid of the other project that you were gonna replace your talon with theres no point on selling it. And we can all tell your still hooked on it when your looking to increase your mods!

Re: My Talon
 

You wouldn't understand and no, I do not answer phones for a living.

Kevin, nice car. ;) Keep it.
Mike, yep, that's the guy. Pretty cool kid.

Re: My Talon
 

I like 1gs. I just want a mint/perfect one. and mine isn't good enough.

I'm at the point in my life where I think cars should pause, or be on the back burner. Selling my Talon would be a chunk of a downpayment, but thats no fun ;)

An v8 swapped 240 done right would still be neat. but im not into spending money anymore.

Ahhh wtf. I can't make up my mind. New turbo, tranny, build the engine and fuel system, paint the car.. Expensive hobby.

We'll see.

Re: My Talon
 

Dude, that makes me wanna kick you in the nuts.

Come look at mine, and see how far yours has come. You seriously have one of the nicest 1g's in the state of MN.

Re: My Talon
 

^truf, either you are hiding a lot of shit, or you are being a douche.

Re: My Talon
 

Yea, good luck finding a "perfect" 17 year old car.

Re: My Talon
 

I have seen one. And I almost cried because I couldn't get it.

It was local. I saw it at "Owner 2 Owner" car mart in white bear lake about 3 or 4 years ago.

Smurf blue 92 AWD Talon. Black leather, sunroof. STOCK MINT FLAWLESS 18,000miles and the window sticker on it.

It was $7,000 at the time. I would have killed for it.

And my car seriously isn't "NICE" enough for me. I just have high standards. I don't want a show car, I just want something that hasnt been shat on, f-ed with, neglected. Blah. There are nicer cars in MN.

Re: My Talon
 

Dsm's are often dirty whores, just got spiff up your whore, and rock it.

Re: My Talon
 

Ha, I remember that thing... probably one of the lowest mileage dsm's in the country.

Re: My Talon
 

You can't make a ho a housewife.

Re: My Talon
 

Never said ya could, it's just your weekend ho most times.

Re: My Talon
 

well I have a lot of ideas for this car, I am trying to save up some gs for the car. But I really should get rid of it.

I'll probably do for sure: New tranny, twin walbros, high flow fuel filter, new monster turbo drain tube, CF hood

Maybes: start all black interior, weight loss, rims, fancy brakes, and/or seats

Re: My Talon
 

It costs more to have one of each but it's definitely the way to go.

Re: My Talon
 

Or buy mine!!! =)

Re: My Talon
 

It's a dark, evil, thought in the back of my mind :)

Re: My Talon
 

Ok so I ordered some 5k HIDs from primo.

IDK why.

Someone wanna buy the car as is for $5000? Running, driving, making about 450awhp on Shane's dyno. Just has a shitty tranny I tossed in to get it to storage that grinds a little in 3rd and 2nd is gone. :) lol other wise a shep1 and sell for more, or a shep4 and twindisk and keep!

AHHHHHH I do want to keep this thing but I cringe at all the money I see going to it...

New tranny ($2300), twin disk (1100), paint (3000) rims (1500) carbon parts (1100) wilwoods (1400) ahhhh! fml.

I could spend $15k easy when I add a built engine and a billet 67 lol.

Re: My Talon
 

pooh.

Re: My Talon
 

Just keep it kevin!

Re: My Talon
 

Make you sure you really want a twin disc and cant go a different route. I hate driving with my twin disc and if I could go back I would try and find something else that can hold the power.

Thing will be bad ass if you keep it though!

Re: My Talon
 

Keep it!

Re: My Talon
 

Keep that shit!!

She's waking!

Re: My Talon
 

I think she want's to go for a drive ;)

Re: My Talon
 

I think you want to buy my TRE stg 2.5 for her.

Re: My Talon
 

Fuck that, I need it worse!

Re: My Talon
 

Skip the twin disk. Been there, done that. Now I'm actually excited about detuning mine to the point where it drives like stock and has the power of my original 20G, 392whp setup ten years ago. Still making room for the NSX.....

Re: My Talon
 

Yea, skip the twin. Keep it, beat the shit outta it and do a stg 1 shep/basic rebuild. Either way, they're all gonna break sometime. ;)
