very cool man.. i like it, can't wait to see this one in action 8)

You know I love those cars.

I think I'd ditch the spoiler though, and get some springs...

[lordpaxin]

Yea,

the first thing on the list is
tuning, its out of tune horribly, stil faster than the old talon, joe white can tell you how fast it was haha...... i think its got a seephole in the headgasket cause if you run it hard, or long, it will push the coolant out the over flow and overheat. exhaust gas into the coolant.

second will be Wheels, and suspension. full shock/coil replacement.

might go with 18's gunmetal with polished lip, i dunno.

I drove to Louisiana to get the car over thanksgiving break.
900 miles, 16 hours.
3 tanks of gas, haha

I sold the old talon for 4500$ and paid 4500$ for this one.
the guy who had it, put over 8g into it since august, motor was completley rebuilt, turbo njectors, fmic, ect. but didnt know how to tune it, and ran it too lean, and did sometign to either the rings, or the headgasket, mabye the valves, i havent tore into it yet.

the car books at 5400$ with 150k miles on it, with the mods and extras, id value it at around 7000 - 7500 so i got a heck of a deal, even if in the end i have to get a new motor, or rebuilt the one in it, im still way ahead.

the motor was completley rebuilt in august so i dunno what the problem is, 90 compression all the way across the board. either valves, head gasket, or rings, either owner idiocy, or mechanic imcompetance, well see.

Your water probleme is deff. a head gasket. even if you do a compretion check nothing will show. Trust me been there a lot of times. pull the termostat and watch the bubbles in the radiator. that will tell if you are leaking compresion.

[crazyassbill]

fill the cylinder with air and see if the coolant bubbles
