Why have only one, when you can have two dsms

[justice]

So I picked up this talon yesterday, it's going to need some work and tlc, but it'll make a good DD when I'm done. The Eclipse is my real "project" car. I've had it for about a year, during which time I've purchased and stored a bunch of parts just waiting for the car to get painted. Right now the eclipse has just come back from paint. I'm waiting for the block and head get back from the machine shop to start putting it back together. I'll list all the parts for each of them later, but for now, enjoy the pics.

And yes, they're both AWD, turbo, and manual transmission

Nice cars. Especially the Talon :mrgreen:

Can't wait til everything is done and ready... you're definitely going to have to give me a ride around in the Talon after you get her up and running like a champ again. And then maybe even the GSX :cool:

[justice]

Yeah, not a problem. The talon should be done within the next month. The hoods already in the trash along with the intercooler piping and the 1g exhaust manifold, soon the bumper and center tail light section will be as well.

I like that color blue. Looks good.

[justice]

I like that color blue. Looks good.

Thanks - it took me a long time to decide what color to paint it. I was up in the air about a lot of colors, but I really liked the blue.

[justice]

almost forgot

[PaleDSM]

You have a suspension for the Eclipse yet Matt?

[justice]

don't you see they 3" lift I put on it? j/k. it already has kyb suspension with a 2" drop in the rear and 1.5" drop in the front.

[PaleDSM]

Going for the wheelie look?

[justice]

Going for the wheelie look?

yep, Jim is Fabricating me a custom wheelie bar this week. Then my eclipse will truly look "amazing":supz:

[Willdue]

I have 2 DSMs as well, shame NIETHER are turbo or AWD =[

Nice cars btw..

[ScubaSteve]

Looking real good matt. Paint came out great on the eclipse and the talon looks like a nice daily.

thanks scuba, I'm really pushing to try and have the talon running/tuned/painted and being driving by the middle of May. Still waiting on the block and head to get back from the machine shop, so I can get started on the blue lightning smurf-mobile.Don't you have finals soon? Are you working at the shop over the summer? I think there was a certain wager made and lost by you that needs to paid. :rotfl:

[ScubaSteve]

ehh.. finals are in two weeks.

I gotta talk to josh about this summer. Im planning on working at the shop and for my dads business since I got a little project to finance now. As long as josh will take me back I'll definitly be at the shop, been away too long.

I never lost that bet! Just because I got tossed to to the curb doesnt mean I lost. No one ever cheated. Im calling it a draw!

What little project do you have to finance now? Def give Josh a call.

[PaleDSM]

No talking needed. You know you are welcome back whenever you are done at school. We definately have some work that you could do.

[ScubaSteve]

Check the avatar. I picked up a Ka for cheap thats getting built. I have it torn down in my basement and as soon as I'm home I'll be getting it out to a machine shop.

[justice]

that's sweet, are you keeping it N/A or going with forced induction? what chassis are you putting it in?

[ScubaSteve]

that's sweet, are you keeping it N/A or going with forced induction? what chassis are you putting it in?

F/I of course. I'm looking at arias 8.8:1 pistons/eagle rods, clevite bearings, arp head studs, cometic head gasket... etc. I'm caught between the t3/t04e .63 a/r and the gt32.

Once the motor is just about finished I'll be picking up the chassis. I'd prefer a s14 kouki but will most likely get a zenki because of the price difference. Not really feeling the s13's.

[PaleDSM]

Look at Scuba getting all JDM.

[ScubaSteve]

JDM my ass, no SR here :wink:

[PaleDSM]

If you start spouting about Koukie and Zenkie you are JDM. Time to buy a trucker hat and wear it sideways.

[ScubaSteve]

I'll keep my chewed up summit hat thank you very much :lol:

[justice]

Just a quick update on the talon:

short route intercooler piping ran, jmf spark plug cover, one of the first JMF 2G small battery boxes.. new strut tower bars and a few other things I'm forgeting. I'm waiting on a new JMF coolant can, the egt needs rewelded, rewiring, and then it should start.
When the owner sold me the car, he said he thought the clutch master cynlinder was bad... After taking a closer look, it ended up being that half of the slave cynlinder is missing, and the bottom of the shift fork is missing. Luckily I have another transmission that I'm going to swap in. Here's a couple pics of the engine bay and intercooler piping:

Do you know how many miles on the 6bolt? the seller said 45k. Do you know if it's stock internals or not? When I replaced the valve cover, the head looked clean, is it newer?

I kind of figured it was beat on some when I saw the bottom the the shift fork broken off. - nothing that can't be fixed though.:mrgreen:

um i dont know how many owners this car has gone through once he sold it, i know of atleast one other guy that owned it after he did and what he did with it after that i dont know. if nobody changed the motor after he sold it then i would have to say that it has more miles then 45k. he swapped the motor outta his wrecked car and put it in the talon.

I'm pretty sure he sold it to the guy I bought it from because there was only like a hundred miles difference between when he sold it and I bought it. Do you know anything about the internals of the block-stock or aftermarket? Thanks.

[justice]

Here's a couple new pics of the Talon. It's 90% tuned now. Completely back together. I just need to put in a new boost gauge and A/F gauge. Get the windows tinted and then get the whole car detailed.

[justice]

nice, is the blue eclipse still at jnz? any updates on it?

YEAH, it's still there. I have all the parts, now I'm just waiting for the block and head to come back from the machine shop so I can put it back together. I'm hoping by the end of september to have it mostly back together.

[justice]

just a couple quick updates:

the block came back from the machine shop yesterday for the eclipse. Eagle Rods w/ Wiseco Pistons, now I'm just waiting on the head before I start assembly.

a local guy is coming out to tint the talon on Wednesday, Yippee. I had to buy a new front O2 sensor today. Hopefully I'll have it installed in the next few days, and actually have the final tuning done so I can drive it, well first I have to get it inspected, but not a big deal.

Oh and I decided to change the color of the talon wheels. I got the first two done today, let me know what you think.

looking good on progress here...i could never have that lip...my car scrapes everything as is w/ the stock front bumper, let alone with the lip added to it

[KawBoy]

Nice, except for that lip

But to each his own

[justice]

Yeah, the lip can be a pain in the A$$, but it looks good in person (I suck as a photographer). It's only really scraped going in and out of my driveway.

On a positive note, the head for my Eclipse should be back from the machine shop in the next week or so and the transmission will hopefully be done by the end of this month or beginning of next.

[fballman1987]

I have 2 DSMs as well, shame NIETHER will be turbo or fast=[

Nice cars btw..

fixed haha j/k

[Willdue]

niether or sitting in my driveway

[fballman1987]

Here's a couple new pics of the talon. I had the windows tinted by mirage tinting. I installed HID's, and new powder coated valve cover. Oh and it's inspected now too.

[justice]

so I got the air intake powder coated today at JNZ, I couldn't leave the valve cover all by itself. Hopefully next week, I'll have the fuel rail done too.

Didn't know they were doing powder coating now. Everytime I stop by the place is 100% different.

[PaleDSM]

Gotta keep ya guessing Scuba.
