Atleast thats what ive been saying since 2003...anyway, I dont have much info about the car prior to me destroying the original motor. It was a stock 1996 eagle talon TSi AWD. I decided to be cool and slide around in the snow, must have had the RPMs ridiculous for a few minutes because I spun almost every bearing in the motor.
Stuff I dont have pictures of right now is of body work in progress or motor installation. Its a 6 bolt crower/wiseco combo. Fully ported head with oversized valves and crower springs. Also has 264/272 cams (wish I had full 272) and pretty venom cam gears at the end (at one point I wanted to do blue in my engine. What a mistake.)
I have pics of most of the work since then, though I didn't take enough as I never thought about doing a full diary style post on it, though I really wish I did document the progress a bit more. The body kit on the car is a Buddy Club 2, its fully seamless, minus front bumper, which is really the only way I was going to get a body kit done. It has Racing Hart C2 Wheels (remember those?) which I got when Racing Hart was still the hot thing to have. From here, I still have a ton of work to do.
Pictures of the car last summer (and much hasnt changed since then):

A few parts I got installed since then (dont have one of FMIC). The turbo is a PTE 50 trim .63 A/R, obviously a ceramic coated FP cast manifold, and an ebay o2 housing:

And stuff waiting to be installed. I cant install this until I get my exhaust on (which the one I got is defective, none of the hangers fit for shit), and last time I installed gauges I messed something up and have a short in my car somewhere. I hate electronics. These are an AEM wideband and prosport volt, boost, water temp and oil pressure gauges. Three will be mounted on a-pillar and 2 in the gauge bezel.

One of my random interior projects, which will be converted to almost full fiberglass eventually. This is obviously the center console, molded to the dash trim with the ashtray/cupholder removed. Every last piece in the car will be fiberglassed and painted black. Next is the kick panels and the door panels, the door panels will be modified to hold a factory speaker grill instead of the ugly grey factory one. Same with the back factory pieces, however I'm clueless what I will do with the trunk..any ideas?

And the dirty engine bay:

Im still waiting on a few parts. I bought a Jay Racing alternator relocation kit, replacement black carpet. I want to convert to non-ABS and remove power steering eventually, and I should have Sparco Chrono Road seats in the car before summer. For now, thats all I can think of.
