Beater 2g Round 2

Just picked up an auto '96 Talon TSi awd from a member on here. Figured I'd make a project thread, even if it is kind of boring.

Mods:
16g
Evo9 injectors
SAFC
FMIC
HKS 272 cams
Evo valve springs/retainers
1g bov
Intake
3" exhaust
High flow cat
18" wheels/tires

Nothing crazy as far as mods go but should make for a perfect daily/beater. I think it made like 280ish at DB in shoot out mode on pump gas. Don't plan on going too crazy with it either until I get a house and another car, so it'll be a while before I can do anything super fun to it.

Future Mods (hopefully by spring). Just going to keep my eye out for good deals on these items and probably install once it gets warmer.
Lowering Springs/Struts or a set of coilovers
Get it tinted
Maybe 1000cc injectors or there abouts, whatever I can find a deal on - DONE
DSMLink - DONE
Test pipe
Wideband
Different boost gauge that has a light
Maybe another pair of front seats as these ones are pretty beat
Maybe black out the headlights
Maybe try throwing on the 2ga spoiler to see if I like it better - just keeping it wingless despite all the holes. Maybe just keep my eye out for a good deal on a hatch.
Paint side mirrors to fix the common dsm paint fade
haha and maybe other little things





Already tinkering with it


Current engine bay picture. It now has an upper timing cover on it. Really want to clean up the engine bay a bit too


Interior after a some cleaning. It really needed it


Playing around with an extra headlight to see if I would like the headlights blacked out or not...


Thats about it. Thanks for looking!
