Update on my Talon

Hey guys,

Haven't posted much on the Talon, so I figured I'd put up an update.. The car is making 350awhp now, and I am starting to concentrate on suspension mods. I'm installing RM swaybars this weekend, and then saving up for some Tokico Illuminas and GC springs. Getting excited to finally get it out for some autox this year!

I finally painted the dinged up front bumper this winter, and the carbon fiber hood. Here's a pic of how she sits today:

Re: Update on my Talon

To be honest and not mean, I think it looks goofy. I have driven a 300whp one that looked stock and still thought it looked off. The power was fun and yours seems to have better numbers. What mods have you done to it and what have you invested in it?

Re: Update on my Talon

needs to be lowered.

also, bake the headlights and paint the reflective part black.
It will look a lot better with your black top.

Im not going to say anything about the FMIC.
If you are making 350hp then its doing its job fine.
I just think the car would look better if it were larger (side to side)


Whats up with the gap between the hood and bumper?
do you still have your black bumper support?

I have Koni Yellows and GC coilovers on mine.
these are 16" wheels. I have EvoVIII Enkeis going on this spring.




this is what it looks like with my 18's



interested in what MODs you have.

Cool DSMs.

Question about the eclipses... are they turbocharged ones that don't have the gray underbody cladding?

97-99 were all color matched.

The grey on the bottom signified that it was a turbo model in 95/96.
I do believe that the 90-94's were the same way too.
