Perkul8r's 2nd DSM

[Perkul8r]

Well, i thought i would post some quick pics of the talon i got. Before i go any further, when i originally looked at this car it was in better shape. The interior was complete, and not disassembled. From the time i looked at it to the time i bought it was about 3 months. The PO was taking parts off it for his other 1g. So i ended up getting the car cheaper.

The car itself is in decent shape. Only rust being on the front fender, looks like couple little paint chips that seen some rain, which we have had alot of. ANd interior is still in good shape. Only piece that isn't there is the right side a pillar trim. The PO did give me a new one though.

Car was running something decent, i think. It has a good sized fmic, was running a GM maf and MAFT, its also setup for meth injection. I will probably undo the meth injection the PO did, so far it doesn't look to good.

Well, anyway, here are the pics.

And one just for fun, The car as of a couple mins ago. Snow is starting to stick.

New projects are always fun! Does it have a motor in it? the front seems to be sitting pretty darn high

[Perkul8r]

I bought it with no motor. thats another reason i got it cheap. My buddy has a short block complete with rods and everything that i am gonna rebuild.

Looks decently clean for its age. What are the plans? Any interior shots? Is this the one that was supposed to have the mint interior?

[Perkul8r]

This did have a great interior when i first went and looked at it. BUt that was three months ago. And the guy i bought it from said nothing has changed, but it did. The guy had taken panels off and switched out the rear plastics. He said that i hadn't gotten back to him so he started swapping parts to his other 1g. Which is my fault. It took me three months to get back ahold of him. I will be getting interior pics soon. Was raining yesterday and snowing and windy as hell today so i wasn't outside much.

My plans are picking up a short block to start work on that and just working on it all winter. I would really like to see this thing be a decent DD and sometimes track car. Its not gonna be my main car, i will always have my Subaru for that just in case something breaks.

I may also get into Auto X. It is starting to pick up around here. Hopefully more events next summer. I have a couple friends that say its pretty fun.

I am just waiting for my honda stuff to get picked up than i will have the money to get the short block and to get started on it. Work is gonna be real slow. I have no garage as of yesterday, and i dont think the landlord would be happy if i was rebuilding a motor in the basement.

I hope you didn't pay the originally agreed upon price after not getting the originally agreed upon interior.

[Perkul8r]

No i didn't. He originally wanted $500 for the car with the good interior. And I ended up getting the car for $275. The interior parts he put in aren't all that bad, just really faded. I plan on recovering them this winter. So it wasn't a bad deal. Kinda happy he went cheaper with it. I can deal with some faded interior pieces. The seats are still in good shape. and the dash is too. Not lifted like my laser was.

Those wheels . . . i am about to put mine back on due to the approaching snow. I WANT A WHITE TALON!

Wow not bad at all for $275! Try Mother's Back-To-Black for the interior parts.

I'll have to try that, but they are pretty faded. At least its all there though. And I still have a couple parts to pick up from the guy. Mainly the Downpipe, but he said he had alot of misc 1g stuff that i could grab. Not sure what all he has, he just said to stop by tomorrow.

And i really dont mind the rims. I know they might not be everyone's choice, but i would like to keep it as stock looking as possible. Gotta try and figure out how to hide that front mount better. May even grab an eclipse front bumper to see if that hides it better. Only reason i want to is stupid kids around will see that and want to race at every stop light.

250 FOR ALL THAT IS A STEAL! CONGRATS!

Nice, god i bet white was the most produced color for DSMs. :O(

[awd-drifter]

nice pick up man. clean white 1ga's always glow for me for some reason. looks real clean.

Autocrossing is very fun btw.

[Perkul8r]

Now i just gotta get the time to work on it. It has been snowing all night and its windy as hell. My subaru even had a hard time gettin around, but it still has summer tires on it.

[turbotalon1g]

Can't argue too much with $200 DSMs esp. when you sell parts off of them to make them less and put $100 engines to make them run.

[C3L1CA]

Damn, that's a hell of a deal!

[Perkul8r]

Now i am just trying to source some parts for the car. I found a shortblock with turbo mani and 14b turbo(not sure on condition) that my buddy has laying around for $100. Now just looking for a head with complete intake mani.

[Perkul8r]

Ok, so now i have a choice to make. lol. The guy i bought my laser from found out i have the Talon and he wants it. Bad. He wants to trade me(plus a little cash on my end) a 97 Talon FWD turbo car that has a shot motor, and a 95 TSI auto that runs and drives, does have an issue with the trans though, and has no title. I was kinda thinking about it cause i would have a complete parts car plus some more, but just not sure if i should trade right away. I really like the body style of each car, and could have the 97 running just by swapping the motors.

I will def have to think on this one.

If you need a 1G head, I have one, along with a intake manifold. Give me a PM.
