Remember boys and girls, maintenance before mods.

I have a new 2g mani on the way as well as a turbo and mani gaskets and turbo and mani bolts/nuts. Should be able to get started next weekend.

Score! Looks pretty damn clean Rad. I don't like those wheels though. Welcome back :)

Edit: Why does the front bumper have the indent, but no Eagle?

[InspiredAuto]

The car looks great Rad! Nice score man! I can't wait to see more pics.


When do you hope to have your "new" mods?

[Rob]

Looks like it's in damn good shape!

[RadDsm]

Score! Looks pretty damn clean Rad. I don't like those wheels though. Welcome back :)

Edit: Why does the front bumper have the indent, but no Eagle?

Its an aftermarket bumper with eclipse headlights

The car looks great Rad! Nice score man! I can't wait to see more pics.


When do you hope to have your "new" mods?

I have all the stuff mentioned in my first post, but I want to get it running good before they go in. When my taxes come in in a few weeks a FMIC and HKS SSQV will be bought.

Looks like it's in damn good shape!

Thanks man, moar to come.

[kandyinmyvan]

Get the Eagle ASAP man!

[jared0791]

Looks good. I thought you said it was a JDM RHD? lol. J/k Good find. now get some talon headlights.:hipsmoke

[95TSIAWD$]

Glad to see you posted up all the maintenance things before any type of mods, overlooked so much by too many. Good looking car!

[Tyler]

Its an aftermarket bumper with eclipse headlights

looks the exact same as stock bumper. and you can take the eagle off. on my friend's old 98 tsi people would peel it back all the time.

great looking car none the less. i like the bronze on purple. gonna be a sexy dsm when you get it running right

[greengoblin]

Very nice car. I love the 2gb talon front clips.

[Kain]

Get the talon lights then paint the housings black like I did when i had my talon. Can't wait to see the car in person. :D

[crazy_1gb]

Supposedly adjustable but the previous owner dsnt know how to.

[Rob]

Looks wired for EDFC.

[RadDsm]

I just did a search on EDFC and there isnt a box like the site shows so Im not really sure how to use it. I guess Im going to have to follow the wires and find where they go.

[Rob]

Yeah, he probably pulled the controller. It's like an extra $300 piece.

[SixFourTwoHero]

That car is rad, Rad!

[RadDsm]

An interior shot, radio was removed for weight reduction LOL j/k I need a new deck.

[ThunderOZ]

Looks like it's going to turn into a pretty fun ride.

[Tyler]

for 3k that seems like a really good deal. i want a 2gb talon

[PandaMan]

That paint looks great Rad. I am excited for you!

[sleek2g]

Just like your avatar. The talon is just tits. Great buy Rad.

[PandaMan]

I am excited to see how it turns out with all these extra parts you have lying around. Do you plan on taking it to the track this year? What are you going to do for tuning?

[RadDsm]

I do plan on taking it to the track as long as its running good. Im going to prob run a safc/logger and some 650ccs this year and run about 18-19psi, then hopefully go bigger next year, hx35, link, 1050ccs and all the other supporting mods.

[Rtsr]

Seafoam FTW :)

[sleek2g]

I would rather go with some 1150's instead of the 1050's. But that is just me going all out with ECMLink.

[RadDsm]

I might, I hear 1200cc have a problem at idle and partial throttle, so IDK if I want to get that close.

[kandyinmyvan]

Does it live?

[RadDsm]

She has been down pretty much since I got her. The guy who owned it did so much damage, so I'm pretty much saving her LOL

Some stuff off the top of my head that is new:

14B turbo
Intake mani
Exhaust mani
CVs
Gaskets/bolts
Bellhousing
Master/slave cylinder

After shes all put back together, I've got lots of mods for her. :D I have supporting mods for 18-19psi on the 14B

I dont get internet at my house till next weekend, I will upload some pics of the carnage then.

[PandaMan]

It will be good to see her run, you deserve to mob a dsm.

[kandyinmyvan]

I dont get internet at my house till next weekend, I will upload some pics of the carnage then.

Fawking liar.
