projectxmatt Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Wasn't sure exactly where to post this. I joined a long long time ago and never was very active. Figured I'd reintroduce myself before I just start popping up in threads trying to join the conversations. I currently have the following cars in my stable. 90 Talon AWD has 23K original miles on the body. I bought it as a shell and have been very slowly putting it back together how I want to. 91 Talon AWD it's the beater "fun" car. Just basic bolt on's exhaust, hard pipes etc. (both talons are in my sig) 02 BMW 325i this is the regret. Bought this car used and have had the worst luck with it. Had more stuff break on this well maintained car than my beat on Talon's. 98 VW Jetta this is the beater for the beater I guess. Got sick of paying stupid prices on parts for the bmw so bought me a cheap little 2.0L jetta to drive till I can get the BMW fixed to a point where I feel comfortable selling it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already have the entire build planned out every piece of the puzzle figured out, now just have to get the new baby to stop sucking all of my money!

Rgreen Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Do you have the evo brakes on yet if so how they fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectxmatt Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Why yes yes it is. We share a garage. How do you know Jansen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 That's seems like a kinda small turbo for a 2.3 built motor or does that turbo make more power than i think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

projectxmatt Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Do you have the evo brakes on yet if so how they fit They aren't on yet, people have put the front ones on with adapter plates, and people put the rears on the 2g's. I haven't seen the rears on a 1g yet but I'm sure someone has done it. I have the front ones waiting on getting some junk rotors to have Jansen fab me up some brackets.

projectxmatt Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 That's seems like a kinda small turbo for a 2.3 built motor or does that turbo make more power than i think? It made on a 2.0L 500+ awhp on a mustang dyno. I'm not looking to have a straight line car. I like to auto cross (took 3rd at the dsm shootout last year in my buddies evo, sweet brag!), just as much if not more than drag race. So the turbo will give me a better range for what I'm looking to do, which is the same reason I'm going with the stoker over the 2.0. I loved driving my buddy's evo that has a 2.0 w/ HTA 3586 it was just a little too laggy for the autox but that would change with the 2.3L. That's the one thing on my build I keep going back and forth on between the 3076 and the 3586. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectxmatt Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 You trying to get rid of the beater Talon? It's in the process of going back together right now. Should be running in a week or two. I'll let ya know once it's driving if it is going to stay or go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVE-O Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Wow i wouldn't think that turbo could make that power but ya it should be a very fast spool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rgreen Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Do you have any spare turbos or EPROM you want to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectxmatt Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I met Jansens at quick rev when he was building his black evo Oh gotcha, yea the yellow car is his new evo. Nothing too fancy but it's getting some new goodies here in the next week or so. The red car is actually kind of mine and Jansen's project he bought it, then i took it after the engine he bought for it spun a bearing on start up. Then I decided I didn't want it so basically the engine and the seats in the car are mine, and the shell is his lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectxmatt Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Do you have any spare turbos or EPROM you want to sell I think there is a spare 14b sitting at the garage. I'll ask Jansen if he wants to sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex L. Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I got rid of my 80k mile '92 6/5/4 car earlier in the year to finish the driveline on my Supra. I'm missing the DSM already, just need a less rusty platform to start with (came from Cleveland). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectxmatt Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 That's super clean, I need to get mine resprayed. It's been sitting for so long it's faded in some spots. It's still super clean though rust free and only 23k on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
