Looks like you just need to button up some things now.

Almost there!

TkrPerformance · 02-22-2012

It is almost there. Just have to get all the parts in,re wire the pump. Spin up the coilovers since it is way to low for the new rims and tires. (Car is droped 3.5in right now) then have to get an aliment and up to shane to get tuned. It is so close it is so nice to get it going after 10+ years of sitting apart.

Nice, look forward to seeing this thing on the road sometime when I'm up there. Maybe the cruise?

TkrPerformance · 02-22-2012

taking it on the cruise is the plan since I sold the hatch

**Goat Blower** · 02-22-2012

Lookin good. Keep the wheels green. Maroon, pink and green are hawt colors together.

TkrPerformance · 02-22-2012

Pink is one thing but hell no on the green they were just a great deal that I could not pass up.
The car will only be 2 colors

stock cayenne red pearl and the red talon skirts and rear bumper. It will be on the list to paint also lol.

TkrPerformance · 02-23-2012

new bumper was here when I got home for work.

now to keep the green 2gb talon bumper or sell it

TkrPerformance · 02-26-2012

got the afpr put on the car. mounted it were there was 2 holes that are factory so that is were it went for now. I might more it some time but did not want to drill holes in the the car. Also put in the wally 255 that is modded.

Got the color matched 2gb talon bumper put on. Got it trimmed just to make it fit. look 1000 times better than the green one since it match's the car.

I raised the car up today also. 1/4in in the front and 1/2in in the back. So no I should have plenty of room for the new rims. The rear Qt. panels now have 1.75in from tire to Qt. panel. Before I could just get a finger between them.

I went to start it for the 1st time and the miata battery is junk so I have to get a new battery tomorrow.

TkrPerformance · 02-28-2012

had craig get me a new miata battery since the one was junk.

Today I scored 2gb talon door strip's and a talon 2gb rear bumper both of them are cayenne red pearl so the car will be all one color but the 2ga talon twisty skirts that are red. Just have to wait to for them the show up.

the front diffuser will be her on friday also.

Car is looking great! What do you plan to do with that green 2gb bumper?

b00sted_spyder · 02-28-2012

Are you going to use talon or 95-96 headlights?

**CornFed2.4** · 02-28-2012

I think he said somewhere he modified the bumper to fit 97+ headlights.

Yes I have the center cut out of a junked 2gb eclipse bumper the I will be cutting up and using to fill the gaps in the talon bumper to the 2gb head lights. I am doing it since I have never liked the 2ga head lights at all. It will have the gaps till I do the body work and paint it.

W00t for single color cars!

Ah ok. Was just curious.

Another idea would be to just paint the 2ga headlights, well the inside housings anyways. It would be a lot easier rather than having to do a lot of body work.

TkrPerformance · 02-28-2012

I am a body tech so it is no big deal for me to mod the bumper. I dont like the design of the 2ga head lights that is why I am going to mod the bumper it self

**CornFed2.4** · 02-28-2012

Is a body tech the same as a painter? If so how come no paint on cars?

TkrPerformance · 02-28-2012

Same thing. Kevin and I painted my old 92 talon. Other than that I have been slowly replacing all the tools that were stolen from me so I can do the body work and paint cars.

TkrPerformance · 03-03-2012

last night I had to big boxes in the garage when I got home from work. Just got around to opening them up.
abs front diffuser

2gb talon door strips

TkrPerformance · 03-04-2012

Got the strips on the car. Big thanks to tonyseagle for making a template for me.

got the holes marked,drilled, and painted the bare metal.

Installed

now the not so happy. I did not even think about it the front diffuser is for a eclipse 2gb bumper and not a talon 2gb bumper. So the holes are in the wrong spots. With it lined up with the holes it does not stick out the 2in that it should. I moved it out the 2in so it is right and I like the way it looks.

and the problem

3.5in to short to the back of the bumper

So it looks like I will be selling it now
