Yep.. The biggest "modifications" I have done to the car are hard Ebay SMIC piping w/ a Greddy Type-S, and a 4in' K&N air filter. Other than that there isn't much done to it.
Here is an older picture before the BOV was recirculated.

There are still things I need to work out in the car. Then I have to decide if I want to sell it or keep it.. Very hard to decide..

Are you running at stock boost? Check into powder coating your valve cover. A lot of places sell there covers with an option to trade in your core. See if you can get one the same color as your car!

Nice car!

Must be nice having access to a full body shop, did you ever think of painting it a totally different colour?

It's a shame we never got these here in NZ, I think they would have been popular.

Yes as a matter of fact there are! This would include turning this car from street-drivable into a full drag/track car. Here was the original list of things I was going to collect:
EVO. III 4g63 block, bored .040" over. Throw in a Eagle 100mm crank. Eagle rods, wiesco pistons; making it a 2.3L stroker. 1450cc injectors, running on 'Link V3. All this powering either an HX35 or 40. I never quite got to decide which I wanted to do. There are a bunch of other random little parts I planned on/needed to get.

That was the plan until about 3 weeks ago. Then my Eclipse's headgasket went..
Picture of the Eclipse:

So now I have been buying parts to get that running again... Not stock though :P

What it comes down to now, if do I stick it out and keep both? Or sell the Talon? IDK. I think I'm keeping both. The Talon still needs to be completely redone suspension wise. I figured why not redo the engine. Then the 2.3 will come into play.

I believe it is. The boost gauge I have in the car now seems to be off.. I had a place I was going to ship a valvecover to, to have it powdercoated, but he, and the forum he was offiliated with started some shit which ended up getting me banned because they simply didn't like me. So I no longer have anything to do with them.

I was either going to do the same color as the car, or starlight purple I believe they call it. IDK yet. I'm not putting much more money into the thing right now though.

It is nice time to time.. Or when I can actaully use it! lol. And I did originally want to paint it a different color. I wanted to paint it the rare light blue metallic color these cars came in from the factory. Then my dad had the idea of flat/satin black. I was stuck on the satin black for quite some time.

Then I was talked into keeping the factory color. I did because I thought it would look supper factory when I mod. it and supprise people.

Theres a couple places within a couple hours from where I'm at and they can be found on http://www.tiradocustomcoatings.com/ or www.rochesterdsm.org. See if you cant get your hands on an aftermarket boost gauge. They can be had pretty cheap. I used glowshift gauges, www.glowshift.com.

Thanks for that! I remember Tirado custom coatings from the old forum I was on, (I won't mention the name so I don't bring them more memebers considering MOST of them on that site are crooked people), but never go to their website.

And I do have a Autometer Carbonfiber boost gauge. A friend of mine gave it to me for free so maybe thats why it doesn't work well, lol.

Sounds like it would be a nice setup. Close to what mine is aside from the stroker and turbo... One word of advice from what I've run into with mine, do any maintenance items first before you get started on the build. Nothing worse than having a car that runs awesome but stupid little things break on it.

Keep us posted as you start working on it!

You all might think I'm crazy, but I decided to not mess with my Talon or Eclipse because my dad does legally own them. He also PRETTY much forbayed me of modifying their engine. Sooo.... I bought my own car.

Awesome way to start a project!

How bad is that rust in the engine bay?
In this '91? It is all surface rust. The engine way was sanded/sand blasted to be seam sealed and shaved. That's the only reason there is rust.

I've got a couple 1g parts left if theres anything you need. I don't have much but I can post up what I have left including a chiltons repair manual. You pay shipping and the stuffs yours.

Have anything performance wise you'd get rid of cheap? And heck yeah, post up what you have!

Sweet, as long as it stays as surface rust :)

So, what plans do you have for it, other than a cool paint job?

Oh no kidding! I don't believe 1g's were as prone, (if at all prone), to shock/strut tower rust.

I also don't really have plans for a "cool" paintjob, persay, just a nice, solid, color change. But, as far as "other plans" go, the word built and engine come into play. :D

I noticed that the stock MAf is on the green 95 but you are venting to atmosphere probably not ideal but I do love the way the type s sounds vented. :)
