Well, lets start with the currently driveable.
The S10 is running well. 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.

hope you dont have to go through with the pedal removal. I just did and its a total whore. Not fun at all. But it did do the trick

That's what I hear. I'm hoping not too so I'm replacing everything else first. I have a feeling I'll end up doing it though. My car likes being called a dirty little slutbag among other explicatives.

To be more specific, the talon has a blown manifold to turbo gasket, the buick leaks oil like a dsm.

The GSX is running great... needs some data logging/tuning, but still pulls like a mule on boost. As some of you have seen, I am retiring it's racing stripes and using it only as a street/show piece.... The race track replacement is yet to be officially unveiled. I will keep you all posted.
The POS Hyundai Accent....... SOLD
The Ninja 500......... SOLD

The Cavalier....... a strong unmolested daily driver
The Blazer......... also a strong unmolested daily driver
The Turbo-'Busa go cart......... still a fabrication of my own imagination, but we'll see what happens

The daily driver GSX is running and handling better than the day that I got it 12 years ago.

The GVR4 is driven just often enough to keep my car monkeys fed but not often enough to make them strong. If I feed them to much I fear another takeover and more time in the poor house. Look for me to reamurge from the muck in 2010.

The Talon's running good, new clutch should allow for some good launches!
And for the first time since I've owned it, it's not leaving oil puddles everywhere I leave it!!!
I got to get the air fixed...black car in this heat is killing me...

Thanks guys. Brett, I'll keep that in mind if/when I'm ready to sell but you may have to wrestle my son for it.

my DSM is in pretty good shape. went under the knife last week and now has a FP ported big 16G, ported 2G manifold, and a starion FMIC. running 20psi and the only issue i am having is keeping my IC pipes on. i am going to try and get a bead roller this week before cordova or i am just going to put a bead of weld around the joints.

I had issues with that and put regular radiator hose on as a coupler and it held just fine at 21psi

piss-on needs the IC mounted and piped, and the FP needs to be wired straigt from the battery, since the POS nissan wiring is worthless, that will get fixed this week as its been outside of my parents house a bit too long apparantlt

The long drive and brutal heat suffered by the goat coming down here to Texas has caused cataclysmic (big word) failure of my coil pack. 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. For the meantime, my new shiny Mazda 3 is more than sufficient means of conveyance.

Having some oil seal issues with the turbo on the Talon. Doubt I'll have it fixed in time for this weekend. I'll be there with the Evo though.

I should never of never said the Talon was running good the other day.
Now I'm having fuel cut issues!
Time to build a leak tester and see if I picked up a boost leak. Sh$t always happens right before going to the track!
