I know,  i know....  i said i would never buy a 2G.... but i guess i just have to try every flavor...

Needs a little cleaning up and matiencence and it should be a good daily driver. the front bumper is a bit banged up and missing the rebar support inbehind it, but im already ontop of that...SHould be installed and painted within the nxt month. Also going to need a valve cover as the one on there is cracked, as well as a new timing belt as its a little oil soaked, and i dont want to chance anything.  I took it for my first drive today and the tranny shifts smooth, the car pulls hard and seems to run great!!  The suspension still feels really tight as well.  

SPECS:

145 000 km's

-1996 talon awd 5-speed with 2gb eclipse conversion (bumpers/headlights, tailights, spoiler, roof painted to match)
-Midnight Blue w/ pearl Paint job
-Sunroof
-Power windows,locks,keyless entry/alarm
-A/C
-Leather
-Full 3" turboback exhuast
-HID's
-Type S BOV
-hard UICP
-Cone filter/mas adapter
-momo Racing steering wheel
-17" OZ RACING supperleggra
- tokiko shocks
-eibach sportline sprngs
-HKS EBC... (i see a solenoid valve, but i dont know if there is a controller)
-Aircared till 2013!! yay


these pictures really suck... ill take some better ones once its all cleaned up and i get the new bumper on and painted.



the hood was popped in this pic....

This just seems un-natural. You were like the school bully with us 2G owners.
I actually remember you saying "2G's are for girls"

 Cheesy

Looks good though, nice find!

Brett are you trying to beat my record of buying/owning/selling cars?

If so, I bought another BMW wagon last week but have already sold it, so I'm keeping up with you  Grin

Definitely need to take some nice shots of that car, will you bring it out to the meet this month?

Got a brand new front bumper (needs prep+paint) and also got a bumper re-bar support and brackets from a 2g at pick a part...  Also managed to find the small inserts that fit into the bumper openings where the fog lights would normally go.  pick a part find as well! ahhaha

Also will be picking up the rear hatch floor as well very soon!!

Hoping to have her on the road sometime this month!
