"assume the position"
« on: December 29, 2003, 09:42:52 pm »
As the title says, when a Talon is on jackstands it has reverted to its predisposed predilection.

Anyway, my point being. Is everyone going to be ready come spring? Looks like I am well underway and I hope to be up and running by April for sure.

This is a list of long overdue crap I have started/done.

-change drivers side halfshaft
-change pass side halfshaft
-rebuild both front hubs/bearing seals
-both front tierod ends
-new poly lower control arm bushings (both)
-new lower ball joints (both)
-New SS brake lines for all 4corners
-rebuilt front Twin piston calipers
-rebuilt rear calipers ..in transit ;)
-KYB AGX shocks
-Sprint springs
-shifter bushings
-trans shifter lever bushings
-18" Enkei RSF-2 rims
-supersecret race tricks
-lightweight Odyssey battery

Outstanding issues... Alarm. (shhhhh)


I know I have missed some crap and my car looks like COMPLETE shit at the moment, but It makes it all the sweeter when it is assembled.. right?


RIGHT?

Well, providing everything goes as planned ... and finances/fiance allow...

6bolt for the AWD
95 pistons on 1G bigrods
Valves & stem seals
Meron-Spec Balance shaft removal kit.
3rd Gen lifters
Allum. fly
all new gaskets and seals
Foo-Spec Tranny
3" Turbo-back & uber-loud muffler (no 4" ricer crap)
Intake & IC pipes
Ported 2G Exh Mani
Ported O2 housing
Logger
Ultra-er33t Secret Weapon (it's highly unlikely, but every man can dream. Finances will depict this one)

Right now my plans are all on hold while I patiently wait for specific parts to arrive, but I'm hoping this spring to be a very fun spring :)
