This is my 4th DSM and the one I have owned the longest at this point. Bought the car in 2000 and swapped a few of my old left over mods onto the car right away. I modded it to it's current point between 2000 and about 03/04. I set some goals out for the car early on and once I hit those goals I called the car done and just drive it and enjoy it. It is now my daily driver again as I work on a new project.
The car uses a pretty basic setup and I tried to improve all aspects of the car evenly over the years. I have addressed braking, suspension, power, and exterior.

That's about it. I set out to break 120 on pump gas, make 400 at the wheels and still remain quiet, comfortable, and squeak free. Mission accomplished. The car is dead reliable, has an ok stereo, is not overly harsh and is a pleasure to drive to work everyday.
Unfortunately my old image host crashed and I suffered a HD failure so I only have 2 pictures of my talon. Kinda sad as I had probably 50 at one point.
