Gorgeous. That Talon is still my favorite character in the show. 'Nice to see it back in action after the drive-train issue. No doubt the poor beast will get broken again, since it's often the "Oooh, let's try this" subject in the group, but in many ways that's what I like about it. A restored classic car like the Grand National is a joy to behold, so it's great that you keep them close to the original stock form. In the case of DSM's however, much of the reason that they became so popular in the first place so many people tried to juice them up. In that light, one could argue that the only way to keep a DSM in true "classic" condition is to never stop modifying it.
@TomsTurboGarage10 жыл бұрын
Very well said William! First off, you're point about DSMs in their "classic" condition is a very interesting one. Almost reminds me of how post WWII hot rods are today. The period correct modified versions are as important as bone stock 1932s of the day. Also your observation of the cars in my videos as characters is very interesting! I really love that perspective and it's changed how I think about my videos. Thank you for the unique observation!

Synchomesh is a no no according to several builders. Jacks Transmission recommends Mitubishi's gear oil designed for the Evo 8's MR 6 speed trans. Even warranties his transmissions so long as you use it. Do more research or go to jacks website to read more about it.

I personally believe you got rid of the Talon because it was a little ridiculous and almost became unreliable when you snapped the drive shaft on the first launch. It was a great build i give you mad respect on it but i don't know if that platform was the right thing for all that power? It would take a lot more suspension and chassis upgrades and a little more weight in my opinion. Cant wait to see the finished product of your Mazda ls3 build man!! I respect you as a great mechanic and not to mention you have a dream garage i wouldn't mind having!!!
@TomsTurboGarage9 жыл бұрын
Hi there and thank you for the kind words. I sold the Talon for a couple reasons. First, I wasn't driving the car much. Second, I got kicked out of the 1/8 and 1/4 mile tracks for not having a roll cage and other safety equipment given the speed I was running, and I wasn't willing to make those additions. Instead I found the Galant, which is a much more useful car with great character. I posted some more thoughts here: talon.turbomirage.com/talon_goodbye.html.

Just recently bought a talon tsi 1gen with a 4g63 in the motor but it has 280k miles should i swap for a 420a or should i just rebuild the motor? I also would like to make my talon roughly about 500-600hp which out switching to meth if i can or go higher than 91 pump gas cause i live in colorado. Thank you for your opinion and it really helps.
