[TbTalon94]

Price range would do well ;)

[Drifte]

ah, thought i copied from my other threads.

Price starts at 6k, taking offers.Although full asking price will net you ALL of my DSM parts I've whored and my turbo parts car.

[Ricky]

bump for VERY clean 1st gen

[Domestic Disturbance]

Holy cow thats a lot of stuff, idk how you remember a list that long. I do have a question just out of curiosity, how well do they steer without the power steering?

[Ricky]

he put the time and money into it. im sure he has a running list somewhere knowing him. i drove it once and you get used to it fast. Its a little stiffer but you can still turn with one hand. dont need a lot of grunt

[DustinsDuster]

while driving it wouldnt be bad, but at a dead stop in a parking lot...not so fun...

[Drifte]

Yea not bad, I have power steering for it still too, just like a clutter free engine bay too much. I have a running list of parts and a binder with every receipt for everything from engine oil, to machine work. Its over 15k, I stopped adding at that point though.

[Ricky]

scary! 15k?

However the receipts for everything should help you get what your asking for it since you can prove it.

i take it by you selling this you are looking to get a truck?

[Drifte]

yea a truck. Can come with a whole other parts car (turbo fwd) if ya want.

Car is a LOT of fun. But I just dont even use it anymore, except to work and back because I have to.

[Clinical]

Damn that's nice.

If for some reason you still have it next spring - I'm thinking about selling my bird around then.

I'd sooooooooo pick it up haha.
Just what I need too, I have enough issues learning my way around on a good ol' V8 - My brain would probably turn to mush trying to work on a turbo DSM of that caliber.

[DustinsDuster]

dont feel bad, the older i get, and the more i learn, the more i realize i dont know near as much as id like to think i do. i have 10-12 years of working on V8's under me, and i still feel like i dont know much about them. the DSM engine in my truck is also very humbling...

[Drifte]

bump

[FiFdYnUtZ]

very clean car man, good luck with the sale!

ughhh I want so bad

[Clinical]

Weren't you happy to be rid of your DSM? haha :P

[Clinical]

Way to find my craigslist WTB ad drifte lol

[Drifte]

Bump.

$5k, its a steal, I payed $5k for it 3 years ago and have replaced basically everything since.

Now has 38mm MVS wastegate dumped back into exhaust.

[Drifte]

needs a good cleaning.

[Ricky]

your so anal about your engine bay!.... but it does look nice!

[Clinical]

one of the cleanest 1g's ever imo

[Drifte]

thanks guys, I kinda want to sell it to have a car I dont care about.

[Clinical]

i know I'd probably have trouble if anything went wrong but if someone would come up with the money for my car - I'd probably try to find a way to buy it.

I already got the laser so I'd still have a car I don't care about :P

[jhwrenchhead]

Pretty Interested. Are there any pictures of the interior? Do you have all the parts to replace the power steering and cruise?

[Drifte]

I do have those parts, I have a complete parts car also. I'll look for pics of the interior but its stock appearing besides some extra gauges.

[Drifte]

A few I have found. I never remember to get pics of the drivers side.

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k27/drifte/n71802238_30053393_3682.jpg

[jhwrenchhead]

I might have missed this but how many miles are on the rebuilt motor? Are they stock internals and just a hone? How are the tires? Do all the power options like locks and windows work? Heat works I am assuming? Are they any numbers as for as dynos or ETs? Any info is helpful, I am looking for a new daily driver and this happened to catch my eye. Also, how does venting post MAF feel? To my understanding this would result in a sudden rich situation upon shifting?

[Drifte]

New tires, stock internals with ARP hardware, keyless entry with alarm on it, power windows work, heats amazing. No dyno time or track time with the car. Venting the bov has no great effect, I did intend to recirculate it but have not found a dire need to. It may add some fuel but its running less fuel than stock already so its pretty well compensated. Stock WOT AFR's are 9.2:1 or something like that. In this weather its running 11:1.

[Clinical]

if I'm correct - I think the car only has like 1-3k on the rebuild if I remember the thread correctly. Don't quote me on it - just thought I'd chime in since I think Drifte missed it :P

I'd have to go and see what was the last date he posted the miles on the rebuild in his thread for the car.

[Ricky]

hasnt gone far thats for sure few CR trips and from swisher to north liberty

[jhwrenchhead]

Pretty interested. Is there a phone number that I could call to reach the owner to set up a time to see the vehicle? Thanks!

[Ricky]

i will let him know and have him send you his number via a PM

Your pictures just say "Image"

[Drifte]

Give it time to load see what happens. Just checked back on mileage, for some reason the title doesnt say. But I know I bought the car with 108k on it, Rebuilt it all around 110/111k. It now has 115,*** miles on the body. The title was issued to me december 31 2007.

Not going to lie, it's a nice feeling....but then you get bored.

Did you make that eagle badge under your radio? I've never seen one before, unique idea for that blank spot.

The new car will be fun :) i have some parts for it

[Clinical]

Sent you a couple PM's drifte

[Clinical]

Made it home without issue :)

To my surprise I was about 30 mins from town and got a text "Where the fuck you at?" - ended up having a bunch of friends including the one with the 12 sec talon waiting since they heard I was on the way back with a DSM.

They all were shocked at how clean the car is and how nothing really is knockoff. The guy with the multi-colored clown 300whp civic is threatening to steal the wastegate haha.

She's in good hands

Poor pic but yeah, just got home

[FiFdYnUtZ]

we better not see any dirty ass pics from gravel traveling in the snow like we did your fbody!

[Luminatorz34]

judging by how he takes care of his shit ie: 4x4 mudder mustang, pos laser, pos fbod, i doubt this talon will last...itll be in a ditch before we know it.....

[Luminatorz34]

[DustinsDuster]

wait- is this Drifte's talon that you bought?

[Luminatorz34]

sure is

[DustinsDuster]

good for him- but kindof a bummer- i know no one will ever keep that car as clean as colton did...

[Clinical]

Mustang was a pos that I didn't care about overall, and at the time I'll admit I was pretty retarded with it.

Firebird actually is dirty from hitting two major puddles on a gravel road dropping a friend's mom off at her house - other then that I rarely go on gravel roads. I wash the firebird rarely too unless theres an even/show I want to go to as I don't want to give the rust a reason to develop further.

If you had seen the laser when I first got it you'd shit yourself how dirty it was. Yellow stains on the windows from smoke, trash covering the floor, leaves/dirt and shit all over the interior. It's definitely still not anywhere as clean as the talon but its WORLDS better than when I got it.

The talon will be extremely well taken care of. I intended to make it a DD but soon as I get rid of the firebird and the laser I'm buying something in the way of a small truck or civic to DD - I already feel bad DDing this car its so nice..

I know it was already pretty clean from Drifte washing it but I washed and waxed it about an hour ago in my garage. It got a bit dirty from just the trip home and I still had a bunch of wax and stuff from when I did my mustang before I sold it... wasn't doing anything this morning so I figured why not.

She's nice and clean and I'll keep it that way.

Intended to put power steering back in it but the engine bay is truly ridiculously clean - I'll get used to it and keep it the way it is to keep the engine bay so clean.

Only thing on the to-do list right now is fixing the E-brake.
May also take the window tint off just because cop's are known around here for pulling people over for shit like that. I love the way it looks with it - I may go ahead and go with 70% but it wont be the same.

[FiFdYnUtZ]

lol washing a car doesnt help rust develop, letting salt, dirt, mud, water, gravel dust, etc is whats going to sit on it and corrode it...

[85XR7Project]

Take care of it or some people are going to write you off. That car is in awesome condition, count yourself VERY lucky.

[Scott]

damn that is a hell of deal for that car man!! shit I should of traded you the circle track for it!!! hhmmmm got me thinking now

[Drifte]

I shouldnt be in this thread. Im going to go back out to the garage and drink a lot.

[krustindumm]

IDK if awesome describes it. It's in better condition than they came from the factory.

Seller's remorse SUCKS. It usually last a lot longer then buyers remorse too. Especially with high caliber cars.

How would you know.

[DustinsDuster]

dont worry colton, im sure it'll be easy to find something else to pour thousands and thousands of dollars into, heh.

[Clinical]

Haha I kept asking him if he was sure he wanted to do it..

He told me I better give him the money before he thought to much about it..
Feels a lot different than buying any other car I've had just because I know how much Colton loved the car and how much effort went into it. Makes me feel that much more obligated to keep it nice.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

If you don't mind me asking... what was the final sale price?

[Clinical]

4500..

I actually had my mind set on a talon in Indiana I was going to get on Thursday.

Granted it was about just as clean as Drifte's talon exterior wise - it was essentially stock with a few minor mods and no where near as tastefully done all around as Drifte's car.

I posted my thread about looking for a DSM or F-body and Drifte pm'd me saying he'd do 4500...

I at first debated on doing it because I literally only had 4k to spend... However my friends with the 12 sec talon/civics convinced me I'd be stupid to pay almost the same for a near stock talon...

So in addition to my bank loan, I owe a relative $500 but the laser will probably be gone within a couple weeks so I can pay off the relative.. Whenever firebird sells I'll be paying off my bank loan.

[sparkles]

Seller's remorse SUCKS. It usually last a lot longer then buyers remorse too. Especially with high caliber cars.


How would you know.

Uhh...I don't know. Think about it. Do you think I've never sold a car before?

[Drifte]

I've always been real curious what that car will do at the track, so if it ever goes you should let me know. And if for some reason you need driving assistance...

[n8kerns]

dont worry colton, im sure it'll be easy to find something else to pour thousands and thousands of dollars into, heh.

Thats what I thought when I sold my talon that was half as nice as Colton's, with nearly nothing done to it compared to his.

On the plus side you will feel like a whole new income is coming in when your not making ritual payments to keep your car working. =P

[Clinical]

I've always been real curious what that car will do at the track, so if it ever goes you should let me know. And if for some reason you need driving assistance...

It'll be taken to the track probably in April or May.

To-do list before then is just to get the launch control set up and the E-brake fixed.

Also looking at DSMLink.

If you'd want to go to the track when I do and want to make a pass with it I'd be more than willing to turn her over to you.

My buddy with the talon rode with me the night I brought it back and said he's guessing mid 13's. We'll see eventually :)

Just took the firebird off and put it in a friend's garage she's letting me store it there until April so I can keep the talon in the garage here.
Had to get a couple of pictures of all three before I took it away.

I think my washing/waxing yesterday was wasted effort :-/

You would know how again? And read the statement again. It's not referring to JUST "high caliber cars. But thanks anyway.

[Domestic Disturbance]

Just please don't drive that 3rd gen or the dsm in this salty shit. Both those cars are too clean to do that too

Firebird is in another garage for storage

Talon I drove last night but today I'm back to driving the laser and will keep driving the laser unless it sells.
