I just signed up and thought I'd say hello and introduce myself.
I've always liked the 2g DSMs but never seemed to get around to owning one for this reason or that, a big one being a 2+2 coupe doesn't fit my family of six very well. With my second son turning 16 this up coming summer I was looking for something sporty with air bags. In particular I was looking for something with engine troubles but a decent body. That way he and I could tear the engine down and rebuild it together. I found a '97 Talon ESi that fit the bill perfectly. And now I'm here! I've been up all night reading the articles here at 2GNT.com and decided this looks like the right place to get the info I'll need in up coming months.
Cars in general are nothing new to me. I've been wrenching on this or that since I was four, yes four. Did my first tear down and rebuild when I was 11. But I'm completely new to the specifics and nuances of the 420a and the 2GNT platform all together. So, I'm sure I'll be scouring the boards here for info and picking some brains for ideas.
I'll be posting the car's specifics in the "Your Car, Price, Mileage, and Date of Purchase! (POST HERE!!!!)" thread in a moment. So, you check that out if you like.
