Great work on the Talon and the video! I also own a Talon.. red and black 97 TSi AWD! Best Car EVER!!! SO much fun to drive!! .. and damn, they're a good lookin' ride, eh! :)
Hey man i am also a fellow Talon owner. Got a teal green 97 and love her. Just wondering what did you use for headliner material? Because of the black top of these cars the roof gets so hot the headliner starts to droop after a while and its time to work on mine.
dang dude i dont know what to say but other than DAMN. u did a great job dude. Its nice to see people still showing love to their cars. damn dude u did really good. it looks nice and sounds like it would smoke on the track.
did you do this just for fun? or do you restore talon's all the time? i have a 97 esi 5 speed pretty much all stock that I dont have time to fix up anymore and i would hate to see it go unfinished. If your looking for other projects... let me know
oh ya, dont lift to shift son, teenagers think manual cars are better but no wrong, and you dont have to tear it down and buy another clutch because you changed your plugs or put on an intake, people need to do some research my 97 fwd auto gst ir rare as shit and it hauls ass, anyway, nice job to the guy who made this vid there is not one thing to critisize on this car, i even love the fact that you took the uncle bens cooker off and put the stock tips on, very clean love the interior, good job
disel guy... if you knew anything about cars you would know that an automatic turbo car is faster then manuel for the simple reason of not looseing boost when you shift
the blue looks sick man! you are a true dsm tuner. whicked props!! you gonna be at the 2010 shoot out?? ill be there and looking for it! im just dropping a fully built 6 bolt in my 97 tsi awd right now. over 300hp at 15psi!
Love the car. I have been looking into redoing my interior also. I was wondering what you need? I am worried about the machine i need to handle the material.
I like everything about it except the rims and stock headlights. The eclipse headlights that have the black housing would look great on it. Love the color !
@nitrors4pr the stock black housing eclipse lights have a slightly different shape...they dont fit the Talon front end. I could put them on this car but then I would have a gap.
the car is beautiful... im doing the same thing... complete restor and motor and chasie work.. and other stuff... but u should do an evo 8/9 brake swap for it.... the hardest thing is to find jdm steering knuckles
I wanted a car Just like yours a while back, but got a deal I could live with on a WRX. Idk, It'd be a hard descision to choose between what I've got and yours, but your car is definately nice!
Wow jeff, i am so jealous of you man, i wish i had enough money to restore my poor "ILEAGLE". haha nice plates to bro. is that a jdm motore you bought? i need to but a whole new motor with low mileage. my 16g turbo killed my motor.
Wow, that's a beautiful restore man.....damn....great job. You should most definitely do some suspension and brake mods. When I get my Talon, the suspension mods I'm doing is Megan Racing coilover suspenion and the EVO brake swap. That will make your cars handling and braking like night and day. Then I'm doing the basic bolt on's and will finally work my way into a 6bolt build like yours running either a 16g or a 20g turbo. Keep up the great work with your Talon. DSM for life bro.
i love that you took the time to make a great old car practically brand new, thank you for giving her life again! you did an amazing job, upload a cruising video and show us how she drives man!!! the only i dont like about that beauty, is the fact that she's stuck with a slushbox automatic, nut up son and stick a manual in that girl
Thanks man! I dont know why you think its an auto?? Its a Talon Tsi AWD 5 Speed. There already is a video of me driving it at the track, Just a couple runs at low boost.
No its the exact opposite. A 6 bolt has Thicker Rods/ stronger Crank/ and less chance of Crankwalking. A stock 6 bolt block can handle 575 Horse power...a stock 2g - 7 bolt block can handle around 400 WHP.
Hey nice talon where in Ohio are u from cause I'm at wyotech right now and I'm from Ohio and I would love to do side work for you for cheap I have about 4 years in body work and as an add on class i took trim and upholstery and business managment and after wyo I'm going to BMW I am very serious message me for my phone (cheap but good labor)
Bad ass talon bro u had a bad ass eclipse too loving the paint u did on those im getting 95 eclipse gsx turbo and getting a paint job on it what color is that blue on the talon?
Actually it ran 13.7 in stock form. I just had a Front mount intercooler and a 3" exhaust. Now with the 6 bolt it is running 13.4 on the stock exhaust /with stock catalaytic converter. I have recently added a 3" exhaust cutout that opens the pipe up about 3 feet after the turbo. It makes a HUGE difference over the stock pipes or the 3" exhaust. The car is capable of mid to lower 12's on the turbo I have. However I use the car as a street car, so I don't plan on making it a racer anytime soon.
nice work, but where do you live for in order to do a restoration on a car from the mid/late 90's, i just recently bought a 1986 plymouth conquest/mitsubishi starion and that thing is not bad all it needs is a paint job.
I live in Cleveland Ohio. The car didnt need a full restore...But I put in a new engine , New interuior, New Doors, new core support, new headliner, new side skirts, new Paint, new turbo, Just to make it like new again. It was good enought to drive before...but now its like a new car!!
Wow, i really didn't think the car looked so bad to start off with but you really turned it into a work of art. Im just happy to see some one stick to the 2g talon body styles and not convert it to an eclipse. Great job man.
i like when he was black abd with the old wheels.. look more aggresive... but nice job.. bless
