    well hopefully i get the chance to say that this car goes wayyy back. as im hooked on it like a drug of some kind. all i do now is look for parts and research the living crap out of it. i will make certain my laser experience doesnt happen to this talon. but im getting some go fast parts for her next week. still no turbo ut ill be a few steps closer to getting it running

    yeah, traction problems were really bad in his old talon. if i remember right, he couldnt get better than a 2.5 second 60' time.

    that was mostly the clutch at that time. and steve i got a brand new knock sensor sitting here


    traction was surprisingly good IF you feathered the clutch.

    Re: My Talon

    alright heres an update..its been a while been doing alot of working lately. and havent been able to work on the talon...here she is all together...guess what, yes im still needing a turbo. but i may have a good damn deal in the works so we'll see. i shaved the valve cover. just got the major scratches out of it. but i got the motor together as i am crossing my fingers on a motor install tomorrow. so i needed a valve cover on the motor. as i can always take back off to finish the polishing process with a finer grade sand paper...it was a bitch to get that cover where it is today.i can see alot of time going to be involved in this thing. but here are the pics. enjoy

    Engine looks good man. Very clean looking.


    Is that Trevor/Colton's old talon? I only ask because it's the same color and looks to have the same door opening problem.
