Update: Spring 2006 Options

[turbohcar]

In an effort to repel those itchy keyboard finger posts, lets talk about something constructive. What are your plans in 2006? what are your goals? with which car? and what are doing to get there right now?




Me? I'm working on the Talon again. I took it apart again in late December. You would think that after three years of working on it without driving it would make a guy go crazy, NO. You ask why I took it apart? To make it faster. Man cannot live on just a basically stock car alone. Therefore, plans are in the making to build something different. This something different will be based around the stock motor, until it blows up (knock on wood). Goals include making a street worthy track monster that will run quicker than the average bear on the stock turbocharger (for now).

Right now, I'm not doing anything. I am however, going broke on go-fast parts. These parts include but aren't limited to:

Eprom ECU
GM MAFT
fuel tank-to-filter line
Hi-flow fuel filter
Full Throttle AFPR
3in turboback exhaust
2.5in intercooler pipes
Supra SMIC
780cc injectors

and some misc. maintenance mods.

How about you?

What color are you going to? Are you going with an original (or close to original) color or are you doing a complete change? If it's close to original you may be able to get away with doing it with everything back together.

It's going to be a deep cinnamon red metallic. I really want to strip the car down to the frame and do a thorough inspection of all the parts, though. I just can't justify what's half-assing it in my mind when it's just sitting in the garage and doesn't need to be driven. The engine will be out soon, and that's the big part of the battle.
