You need to move out here, John. I can see you have become one with the "bling-in-a-can." It's pretty sweet, isn't it? }( :thumbsup

My bad. Funny how time flies when you can actually drive your own car. Seems like I just fired her up again last night. In any case, good job, John.

Is the black car yours as well or a buddy? Thought you had a Talon... :wary

no powersteering? that sucks...

Looks great! when I see posts like this I really get inspired to actually do something with my car. hmmm, long weekend is coming up, what to do, what to do?...


the first solution that comes to mind for any new problem with my car usually involves a can of gas and a match.....:wallbash

brain, the black car and the white car in my sig look very much alike wouldnt you say?

i also own a 97 talon. look at the last pic, and you can see the talon high spoiler there.

edit: also, turbo8u, i just looped the pslines near the rack, so no ps isnt that bad.

i hate the way i drive my car with no ps. then again im way more of an autox guy so the quality of the way it drives is very important to me.

nice work though :) looks like the whole inside of the engine bay was sprayed lol, u can tell from the shock tower and shock is all black. pretty sick ;) stealth and shit.

Job well done. Now drive it over here.

Tony

looks good!!

no power steering for the win! no, its not that bad.

like ^^^ said, thats not rattle can is it though!?

and wow, no power steering? you crazy!

I like your talon man, now throw you some bronze wheels on that thing and you will be pimpin...bronze and green is the best color scheme on a 2g yet...(partial? I dont think so)

So john when are you coming up for a midwest meet??? (I wouldn't make you go thru that shit again.)

ya, i just spray painted the whole car. i didnt really care.

i boosted her a little bit today. maybe upto like 7psi max. only has the 10psi spring. so i have to get a mbc.

Very nice man. good to see you put it back together man. Since aaron mentioned it, when are you comming back up here?


Terry
