It has a gas leak from when I replaced the fuel tank sending unit and the check engine light is on because of a slow reading oxygen sensor. Oh, and the JVC radio that came in the truck when I bought it ate the last CD I put in it and will not give it back. New stock radio to come along with parts to fix the rest. I promise the JVC will RIP (rest in pieces) for eating my favorite CD. The Talon....well it's got some hydraulic line issues. Somewhere it's not getting proper disengagement for the clutch so I've currently got a new master cyl. and slave cyl. on order through Mitsu along with a stainless braided line from Speed Source. Hopefully, that does the trick and she'll be totally street ready. If not, out comes the old pedal assembly and it's getting welded. It WILL be done before winter though it'll never see snow. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

It won't start, so I guess that isn't as horrific as I described it earlier, but still. Hopefully the new coil will be here soon, and she will ride again.
