1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
So I have a 1G Talon with a 4G63T mostly stock........ for now.
I'm considering a few mods but I still drive it everyday so it can't sit for more than a day.
I know there are "free" mods that can be done but I don't really understand them or what to do. I'll post pics once I get out of the Noob stage and figure out how to post them.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
ok well here is the exterior so far. and no I'm not going to put a body kit on her. 
Current mods are only 6k HID lows and 10K hid Highs, no muffler, boost and oil pressure gauges in a pillar pod. |

Yeah but they don't explain a few of the things like the BCS? and there are only certain things I want to do like increase boost pressure till I get a real boost controler and get some better air flow

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
A lot of the free mods have been done my hundreds of DSMers. If you are creative about your searches on dsmtuners you can find some pretty good info without having to read pages and pages, especially on the free mods.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
When you want to insert a picture, don't bother with the HTML tag crap. All you have to do is right click on it and select 'Copy Image Location'. Then once you start a new post, click the little mountain button above and paste it in there.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
if i doesnt have exhaust yet i would recommend keeping the stock catback, but a nice o2 housing and a 3inch down pipe, then weld on a electric cut out on to the downpipe befor the cat, so when you want good performance or a nice grumblely whistle you can flip a switch and when you want it quite flip it again and its stock exhaust =) thats what i got and i love it

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
Nice maroon 1gb, I've had 2 of them. Take it slow with mods. Read lots about taking it one step at a time.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
Yeah I like her, only one spot of rust on the drivers rear quarter. I don't have a muffler on it just the cat with a 3" pipe all the way back to my tip. I'm trying to keep the sound low and not all ricey. Although I found out the other night that my exhaust gaskets leak by the turbo so I'll have to replace them. also I'm getting some kind of rattle by the engine at around 2900 rpm.
Anyone in the Montgomery area up for a mini gathering sometime this week let me know. I'd love to meet some of you guys. get some better ideas than what I have in my head.
And sorry about the infrequent capitals, shift key sticks really bad at work.

Re: 1G Talon Build or at least the start of it.
Does anyone know a place in town that sells Manuel Boost Controlers? I think my BCS crapped out on me it lets air pass all the time. Also i was told that the turbo on my car is not the factory one. I have the TD05, my car is a 5-speed. New pics tomorrow after I wash the car.
