Welp the time has come in my life to figure out what to do. I have a wife now and a child on the way. The 2gnt community was good for me for a good amount of time. I dove head deep into the mod bug but at a time when I could afford to do it. Now i have 4 cars and the talon just sits. Its been in cocoa beach for about 2 years now and maybe drove once. The only bad problem is parting with it will be a huge pain. I know I could get alot more parting it out. I just dont think that the average person looking to mod will be knowledgable enough when problems arrise. The car is modded completely and a minor fix is unheard of. I hope there are some people on here that can relate. later mike

What are those posts that are sticking out the rear of the car?

Nice looking Talon. I love that color.

Good luck with what you do with it.

That is a nice ride.



Got any more pictures you're willing to share with us?

The posts on the trunk are actually the battery terminal posts. I had a ton of nitrous in the trunk and instaed of disconnecting lines and bottle valves to get to the battery I just ran external posts .<a href="" target="_blank"><img src="" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

One of the nicest 420A powered 2nd gen's i've ever seen. It would suck to part out a car that nice, but at the same time every potential buyer is probably gonna be looking for a deal. Good luck with selling it.

HOLY SHIT JURY!

Where the heck have you been bro? I've been wondering what the hell happened to you!

Hit me up bro, if you're still in the houston area, we need to hang out!

How about you tell your wife that you pay the bills and you will keep it if you want to! J/K

Keep it and drive it once in a while. Or plant flowers in it and use it as a green house like Dino does.

More engine bay pics please, looks really nice.

I absolutely LOVE that color, and always have. =( don't part with it.. just have more fun with it.. she misses you!

Where are you located and how much?


I'm serious.

Haha you guys have no idea how much I hate to get rid of it. I loved the fact that this car was the advertisement for the work I did and the lifestyle I lived. I meet some crazy people along the way. Dino and the boys from htown were always there for me. As was I for them. Below is the new new and I will keep checking this thread and answer anything you guys ask. late mike

This might be a little off topic, but your rear side window looks a little odd to me. Is that some kind of trim piece you added or just a weird reflection?

Its a widow cowl that came stock

yea talons have that... AMAZING car man. absolutely amazing.

Which talons came with it because I've had two 96 ESi's, and my bro had a 97 ESi and none of them had one. I'm just curious because i like the way it looks.

Its a 97 esi. originally came with 16 inch wheels, boomerang wing and the emblems were purple.

I went to the garage to look, and mine has that too. same car as his, except green.

Hmm, interesting. It really is an amazing car thought, i say you keep it :)

Once it's paid for, it costs nothing to keep it if you've got the room.

Looks like an amazing machine. I say you keep it around a while longer.

"When there is doubt, there is no doubt."

Damn fine looking 2G. Kudos.

Where you the guy that parked next to me at waterways in aventura, in a G35 a few months back? i was in a green talon and you asked me if i wanted to make mine fast or something like that... I was with a girl and you told me to look you up on this site, I thought you weere kidding dude, nice ass talon..if you do sell, lemme know we can talk numbers.

yup that was me bro. Alot of people think I'm full of shit until you see the car. Haha thanks though.

i remember when you first came on the site...... waaay back when..

cheers

Damn, long time no see! Grats on the wife and kid. Love the new ride too!

My suggestion is keep it, get a megasquirt and a pair of slicks.

How often do you come up this way? I'm in Orlando, and would love to check out the car in person. I'm in the hunts for another dsm...was thinking gsx, but the right 420a might suck me in.

I go up to orlando at least once a month. I'll let you know when I go up. And for the guy saying mega squirt and slicks. The car actually boiled off drag 555r's and Its been through 3 sets of axels 3 trannys and 6 clutches. Real slicks would actually do more damage than good.

Cool, would definitely love to check the car out!

Nice, talon. I'm in the same boat. Mine just sits while I drive my Evo. I want to sell it so bad. Somebody on here buy my car! I can email pics or any info... link in sig to cardomain

Only problem with that is, most guys on here always try to sell their car for prices that only idiotic ricers or rich kids would pay :shrug


Definitely nice cars tho...can't wait to see in person
