My names Kyle, I'm new here and this is my car. It's a 96 talon tsi awd in prism blue "rarest 2g color" with every option "still the only one I've seen with every option".
The car currently has 241,xxx on the odometer with about 26k on the motor. The car has a few small mods including a walbro 255 fuel pump, manual boost controller, autometer boost and oil press gauges, hard intake pipe, 1g bov, candy blue powdered vc, mishimoto radiator cap, and 3g eclipse gt wheels "for now - one of the 2g gsx rims is bent due to a blown out tire". My thermal r&d exhaust will be here on monday, just ordered my 3" megan downpipe tonight and next week when my taxes come back I'll be getting a ported e3 16g and pte 680cc injectors. Maintenance includes oil change, new drivers side oem front curved control arm bolts, new tires, revised lifters, new brake pads all around, new rear rotors, new rear drivers side hub. Hope you don't mind pics Here's some pics when I first got the car: A few after I cleaned it up and such: |

Yeah it is for sure,t he only rust on the car that I've seen is a probably nickel sized piece of surface rust on the pass side strut tower.. but other than that no other rust that I've seen. |

I know it's not much of an update but I got my exhaust today. Here's a few pics.
I'm going to go visit my car tonight and try to at least get the old exhaust off. Wish me luck lol. |

Yeah the old muffler didn't sound bad at all for a bolt on.. but the thermal will sound a ton better.
