The Talon

[88LXiHB]

Ok, this camera sucks, I know the pics are grainy, but oh well...:flip:

I tried to get as good of background as Jim, but the camera fucked it up :(

OFF ROAD!!!



Well, thats the new ride. It's ALL stock, only thing i did was change the oil, timing belt, and add a boost gauge cause the foctory one bounced around too much, and wasn't too accurate.

I Still have the hatch, looking to sell it (if you couldn't tell by the sig). I would love to keep the Honda, but that's $2,300 that could go to the Talon ($2,300+4G63+AWD=mid to high 13s) I REALLY want to sell it to someone on the board, but I don't see that happening, so I guess I'll just do some kind of buyer screening and make them fill out applications and come to interviews and shit...:lol

nice dude ..looks like you did alot of walkin to get those pics...one of my friends has a red one like taht .....the turbo screams

[88LXiHB]

I did walk my ass off, that was a 2 hour photo shoot....my shoes are DIRTY! :) Prolly walked like 2miles total, climbing mountains and shit...:smokin:

[Neuspeed87lx]

you got some nice pics though ...i like the 3rd pic with the mountian in the background

[88LXiHB]

I tool like 8 pics of my car at different angles with that mountain as a background, but they all came out more grainy that the above pics...(yes its possible :flip: ) There is another mountian to the other side that looks awesome, but the sunlight wouldnt have let the pics turn out, so I didn't try to use it...

[Bobs89LXi]

I like the looks of the 1G Talon as well as the Eclipse. The 2 and 3G models are butt-ugly in my opinion.

[inflikti0n]

very nice talon man how many miles you got on it?

Las vegas reminds me of Yuma, arizona back in the mid-80's


Nice pics :D

[88LXiHB]

Im sure it does, they're both the DESERT!! :flip: ;)

[Jims 86LXI HB]

Nice looking pics and your car looks great to. You really went all out to get all those shots. Any plans for different rims?

[BoredRec]

Why in the hell did you shoot your car in Green Valley/Henderson area??? Shoulda gone completely Las Vegas style and do it in the strip or in front of the the Las Vegas sign. Or did it at the industrial park we were at last week. You wanna take more pictures...talk to me next time, I'll find you some sweet spots.

[87accordlxi]

looks nice man! i like the car and the scenery :)

When I sell the Honda it's getting an all black paint job, a 2 inch drop, and 18's

This car is my idol....

I took them on the side of Russel Rd., and Mountain Vista it's like a 400ft. plateu...


I'll prolly take more tomorrow, due to the fact that I have NO LIFE HERE...just give me a call either way, I'll take some of your ride :D

[88LXiHB]

yours defintly has the potential, the other one you posted is excellent, n1 owns. i am really starting to like that kind of eclipse, my buddy just bought one so he could garage his supra. but they are really cool, good choice on cars.

[88LXi68]

Car looks good, but correct me if I am wrong. Dont the 90's have a 3bolt rearend? If so I would look to upgrade to the 4bolt rearend. Also, start searching for another engine soon. I have never heard of DSM in my area with that many miles on it and still on the factory engine (not putting the car down). There are SOOOOOO MANY DSMs here in CT. Tripledigitmotorsports specializes in them. they have some nice ones. good luck.

[89AccordNate]

All the 1gs I see around here have raspy falling off exhausts, FADED paint like you wouldnt believe and sound like total shit.

I'm not woried about the rear-end, it will be a while before I have enough Hp to break the 3 bolt ;)

Go to DSMtalk.com there are TONS af DSMs in the 150k range, if milage was that kind of issue I would have held out for one with less miles :cool:

Thats why I'm waiting to sell my hatch :rolleyes:

[iiviasterp]

the first thing that i would do on an eclipse is get a front mount intercooler and a super loud blow off valve so i could just go blowin off everywhere... that is the tightest sound EVER! i like your ride... its got mad potential... there are alot of DSM's in toledo cause there is a shop here that also specializes in them, they are good cars but the turbos are shit on them.... id go aftermarket so you dont have to worry about the oil seals

I'm gonna get this damn thing lookin decent, THEN fast, its fast enough for me right now....


I've been on DSMTalk.com for months now, and I've NEVER heard of anyone having problems with their turbos...(Except the 2Gs always complain about the T25s lake of top end) Mabey you're thinking of something else....

it's no 3gee, but it's still sick.

At least it's still got flip-ups! [/BoredRec]

[Coroncho80]

Your car looks great man. It reminds me like my best ever 89 probe GT. I loved that car to death. If that freaking old man wouldn't run me over, i'd would still have it. I was dusting people left and right. Mustangs, civics, accords etc... it was very fun. Awwwwwh, those good old times! I have a picture of ther
car. I've been looking for one just like that for a while but I haven't got any luck. The car had 86k miles when I had the accident. The interior was a dark burgundy in perfect condition, the paint job was in the same shape (as you can see in the picture) Oh, it makes me cry every time i remember it. That was my baby! I mean, I like my accord a lot, but with the probe i had all that i wanted; Sporty look, speed and reliability. The turbo was in great shape too. Ok, i think you guys got the point. C YAS!

**Here is a picture of my 95 elantra, I liked the way my exterior looked. I also put a lot of money into it, which now i realize that it was a waist of money.**

Hey 88LXiHB, the first set of your pictures looks like an episode that came off the Knight rider show! Kid Vs. Karr.........lol

While I was washing it I decided to remove the evidence of "16V DOHC TURBO ALL WHEEL DRIVE", and the little grey stickers that used to be right above the grey plastick piece because it was peeling and looked like ass...

http://www.o-t.us/upload/guest/Talon8001.jpg

I know picture quality SUCKS!, but I just like how shiney it makes the front of my car look...because in reallity the front of my car is oxidized(sp?) to hell....

http://www.o-t.us/upload/guest/Talon8000.jpg

well thats all
:wave:

[87DXHatch]

A few comments...

I think your car looks good... but I really do not like the wheels at all.

As for that other Talon you posted... does the back end remind anyone else of like a '93 saturn? Aside from the backend, which I cannot stand, I think that is a nice car too.

[88LXiHB]

I hate these fuckers too, BUT the 1G Talon actually did get the better wheels of the 3 (E/L/T) If I can find any good pics I'll post teh 1G Eclipse's rims, THEY ARE FUGLY!!

[DarknessRS]

Looks very nice. And hey, I liked the fixed lights models. Go Plymouth Laser!

[88LXiHB]

Fixed lights suck :flip:



And the Laser came with flip-ups too....

[DarknessRS]

Well, some of the newer models had fixed lights:
