AHAHA Josh is back. Where have you been man? Hope you are doing well. And where did Mikey go after his post. Look at all these OGs in this thread.
Bad news guys. The 2gnt was totaled right before xmas. Well, I could still fix the front end, but I don't know how much it will cost. Would need to straighten the front frame and replace the intercooler and radiator and spal fans. For the cost involved, I'm seriously contemplating buying a GSX off Craigslist instead and moving all my cool parts over to it. I love the 2gnt and want it to live on, but perhaps it's time to join the dark side...

shit man! so sorry to hear that. I've been busy up in the NW for 10 years or so. Still have the Talon, just camped out in the garage. I drive it when working on my 02 WRX. Speaking of WRX, I highly recommend the darkside!!! Was thinking of picking a gsx up myself...or doing a ej205 rwd turbo setup in the Talon similar to the 818c car. Have you seen that? Love these boxer motors though, building a 2.5L motor with forged internals for the car right now. Weird engine...

It is what it is. Glad to hear you still have the Talon! Never heard of the rwd setup - but I still remember your plan to put a viper v10 in the front. Didn't you measure the bay for it, haha. I love the boxer engines but then I always think wow what a big PITA to do things as simple as change a spark plug.
I'm contemplating just getting a front radiator support for the RST and bringing her back. But after driving my dad's GST spyder... I have to admit the 4g is so smooth and quiet compared to the 420a. I see some good deals out here for GSXs without engines. Never dropped in a 4g though.

I could make the V10 fit but I would just get in so much trouble with that car. The stock Talon has the same wheel base as a viper actually. Right now, my daily is an 02 black wrx with about 340hp, changing spark plugs ain't bad at all. Blueprinting a boxer block on the other hand is tedious. It's a lot of fun in the dirt though I love it. Up here in the NW having FWD turbo just isn't a lot of fun because it's wet all the time. As far as the 4g they are really easy to work on as well like a 420a. I had a 1g awd for a few years and loved it, but I'll never forget my roots. I'd like a 2g gsx at some point as well for the street. I love these cars.
