Update:
My exhaut cam siezed in the head and snapped the belt. Bent intake valves and all. My new head will be here wednesday. It's a fresh reman from a company. I was gonna get an upgraded head but I dont have the bling for that right now. I have a Multi-layer steel headgasket, greddy kevlar timing belt and ARP headstuds to install when I replace the head.

I installed a new clutch last week. It's a SPEC stage 3 good to 450lb/ft. My friend Chris has one in his 97GSX and it works great for him. He runs 20psi every day. Oh, I installed a Apexi SAFC last week too. :thumbleft:

Up to date mod list:
Magnicore wires
3" turbo back exhaust
ARP head studs
Mitsu Multi-layer Steel headgasket
Greddy Kevlar timing belt
Ported Exhuat manifold
Ported 02 housing
550cc injectors
Apexi SAFC
Spec Stage 3 clutch
Big 16G at 20PSi
Turbo XS Dual stage boost controler

I'm getting practice on a Tig welder lately too. Soon I'll be making my own hard charge pipes out of some 2.5" steel. I'm in the process of figuring out a good size for a front mount intercooler too so I can have that when I make the charge pipes. :afrocool:

I'm thinking I might take the DSM to the dyno day now since they have an AWD dyno. There's also a local DSM club track day on the 15'th so I'll have some times. :thumbleft:

Anyone wanna buy it? It's woring great now. Been driving it to work every day and it's really quick. I installed a ported o2 housing from a 2G too. I'm thinking I'm gonna sell it. I have 4 cars at the moment and could use the money. I have under $2000 in the car and bet I could sell it for around $3000. :thumbup:

Nope, he's buying his Fiero back. Talon plus cash if the deal works out. Will be monday if it happens. He added a DSMtuner, 560cc evo8 injectors, o2 housing dump, walbro 190 pump and autometer a/f gauge. Will be nice to have it back.

you seemed to hate that talon when you had it though. seemed to give you nothing but grief. woudl be surprised you would want it back.

I guess it depends on how much cash he is going to give you.
