Howdy strangers? It's been a few years. I just celebrated the 10 year anniversary of owning my Talon It's been the most epic ride of a lifetime. How is everyone? What have you guys been up to in terms of projects, like what are you into now? Just talked to Skrilla the other day, and Chris 2.4 is in Vancouver across the river....we really want to do a RWD 2.4L talon here soon but our licenses are both suspended...(assholes) what are you all doing for work now? still no 2.4L mounts on here, wtf!

Nice of you to drop in. Most of us are still around, though its pretty dead here these days. Most of us stay in contact through social media, mainly G+
As for me, my car is running on MS2 now, finished the install last fall, and it's still not boosted Some of us are Dads now and that puts a lot of the projects on the backburner.

That is pretty awesome Josh! Nobody has mass produced the mounts yet and I don't think they will.... like Cars said, this place has slowed down drastically. Most of the people working on big projects don't post but I know of one RWD 2G in the works and a few other big builds that are going on. We mostly keep in touch through G+ like Cars said and just bullshit through out the day. Then meet up in NORWALK and raise hell for a few day, although I suspect this coming year may be a "mild" year as I've heard a bunch of people are bringing "2nd gen 2gnters".

He's STILL working on that? I thought by now it would be pretty close to done.
Hey Josh, that is some retard strength welding/art projects! Very cool!
And you just made me realize that I am now one of the old timers, lol.
Projects? Too many to list. But slowing down on the experimantal set-ups on the race car and starting to clean her up and make her look a little better (now that I have more of an idea on what will be in the engine bay). Currently running a 16 to 1 engine with other goodies (oops put wrong pic up. Editted in correct one)

Sup homie! It's good to see you're still around. I thought you had sold the talon but glad you didn't. I don't do many projects with the 2g any more, except fix things every time it gets broken in to. My daily driver is an electric bike I made, it's actually a faster commute to work because I don't have to deal with traffic. I was in Michigan for some training but now back in SoCal enjoying the sun.
