Re: The car simply known as "The Talon"
Oh, I'm working on it. My supplier was out of a few of the fittings I needed. I also work about 25 hours a week and I am a full time nursing student so I don't have a lot of free time, but I am slowly working away.

Ha, I just painted my front mount a satin black for the sleeper look this year. The Archer Bros sidemount just wasn't cutting it with 255's in front.

Looks like a simular setup. I love the way top mount manifolds look. Kick ass clutch & transmission, holy shit 14 grand is no joke!

Re: The car simply known as "The Talon"
That's some serious $$$. Wow. I would love to see how a carbon clutch launches. I cannot control my quarter master slippage consistently, resulting in broken shit.

Re: The car simply known as "The Talon"
No lol, I can't see a reason to spend that kind of money on brakes. The only real advantage to me would be the weight savings, sure it would be nice but not that nice. I have I got 2 piston calipers with pads that have a really high bite at cold temps. Breaks don't get real hot in the short amount of time that you use them for during a drag race. I think I might end up with willwoods at some point but for now I am using stock calipers, stainless lines and axxis ultimate pads.
