Hello everyone and thanks for visiting! I’m finally taking care of Sunflower’s puny stock rear end! In this episode we get all of the parts we need and begin ripping out all of the old parts to make way for the new ones. You can see the full post over at my Turbo Miata website.
Hi All! In this episode we install and test our new BendPak XPR-10A two post asymmetrical lift! This heavy duty piece of equipment will allow us to tackle many cool projects for years to come.
Hello Everyone, the Talon is back on the road! In this update, we finish up the remaining to-dos and go for a ride! For more photos and stuff, check out the regular update here.
Hello everyone! I’m trying something a little different with this update, so I hope you get a kick out of it! I also have my usual write up posted, so feel free to check it out, there’s lots of extra pictures and details that you won’t see in the video.
After dragging the old Talon out of the garage last month and driving it around more, I got bit by the bug. Oh, you know the one…the “wouldn’t 100 more horsepower just be perfect” bug. Yeah, it really sunk it’s teeth into me. Truth is, I’d been thinking about re-working and improving a few things under the hood anyway, so a bigger turbo was just a “while you’re in there” kinda mod. Check out part one of the upgrade!
My ’91 Talon had been parked in the furthest corner of my garage for almost a year. In this update I pull it out of its hidey-hole, clean it up and take it out to a local DSM/Evo meet. Click here to read all about it!
So I did get to do a little car stuff recently, I hustled up to Bristol Dragway in my IS-F to make a couple passes in the cool(er) air. I’m very happy with the time/mph, especially given that it only has my DIY muffler delete and a set of drag radials.
This has been the busiest summer of my life. While I haven’t done anything in the way of racing or wrenching since June I must say that construction is coming along nicely on my new garage! I feel an excitement and pride that I’m sure Darth Vader felt while watching his Death Star being built. However, I won’t let my thermal exhaust port just hang out there for some rebels to chuck their proton torpedoes into. C’mon Galactic Empire, Duh!
I’ll post lots more progress pictures and details in the coming weeks. Thanks for visiting!
First off, I wanted to say thank you for visiting! Every month for the past year has seen more visitors than the last! This is very humbling and I truly appreciate your support. I’ve been busy as heck this summer, so other than some wrenching on my Grand National, I have had little time to take on any serious car projects. Well, there is one little car related project starting soon…I’m building a new garage! The photo above is (part of) my current and very cramped garage. More details to come!
