What's up guys? I'm new to 2GNT, I've already got a "help" thread going in the NT forum, but I thought I would post up and say hi. I live in Lansing, MI, so if anyone else is from the area, I'd love to set up some kind of meets, probably more during the summer months. But I'm always willing to offer a hand to someone in the area who needs it, as well as accept any help offered. That being said, on to the car...
I recently purchased a 1995 Talon ESi. Supposedly the car has a built motor, upgraded cams/valves/springs/rods/pistons, etc.. The car is a bit of a hack job, but I've always been a fan of DSM's, so I'm going to -try to fix it up and restore her to what she should be. I'll document my progress for all to see, but it is by no means going to be a fast process. I have bills to pay, and financially, MI is one of the worst states to be in right now, hahaha.
Outside of Corona: "That sucks, peace out..." (jamie walks away)... "Sweeet, what we doin?" -Zac Tim's garage (prior to motor install): "Im gonna smoke real quick, that way if you fuck up I am already nicotined up" -Tim

It has the rear end conversion. Title says Talon. And yes, the red one in the background is my old car. 1995 Esi, dented rear quarter. Still runs and everything, it has the "stutter" that it seems like every 95 has, and that nobody can fix. Think I'm gonna pull some parts/ part it out. If anyone's interested in any of that, I mostly just want the dash/door handles/speakers/ rims/ and the transmission. Everything else is up for grabs if I decide to part it out.

Haha thanks, what's your name on xceedspeed? I mostly just use that site to buy/sell. Xceedspeed is so full of fail. Haha bunch of Paul walker wanna be's. Sometimes you catch a good deal in the flea market, though. And there are a few good people, I shouldn't have generalized like that.
For example: do you know the user named kolynnn? He lied to me about this talon, issues that it did and didn't have, about extra parts that it supposedly came with, etc, etc. If he is at next years xceedspeed bbq, I have some words for him.
What part of MI are you from? I'm going to part out the red 2G if you need anything.
