Re: Proj. Talon MR

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...
