Re: Talon Build thread
The engine bay is looking really good. Can't wait to see this beast running at irwindale again! Thanks for posting the link for the battery relocation slugs. I recently did my battery relocation very similar to yours and they were super easy to use.

Re: Talon Build thread
Made a little more progress the other night. I pretty much worked on the car until my toes were numb; then I decided it was time to call it a night. -Made a home depot mount for the catch can and nitrous solenoids -Installed transfer case/drive shaft -Bolted up the downpipe -Hooked up the drivers side front suspension, tie rod end and axle the carrier bearing. Picture of the ghetto rigged catch can mount I made, lol doesn't look the prettiest, but it's solid. Home Depot Racing FTW haha! Same deal with the nitrous solenoids mount. Just a piece of aluminum angle from home depot. I didn't mount the solenoids yet as I'm waiting for a couple 90* fittings I ordered from Summit. What's left to do: -Bolt up the passenger suspension and tie rod. -Wire up the saturn alternator. -Bolt up the north/south bar & gusset under the trans. -Make some new ground wires for the engine bay. -Make the AN lines from the valvecover to the catch can. -Fill with fluids, prime the motor and fire her up

Re: Talon Build thread
Haha but I like beers. I never drink while I'm working on my car though, but being hung over sure stops me All done. Just gotta filler her with fluids, pay the tags, get a new battery and then tune it.

Haha for sure. Nah, sorry man, I don't have any spare stock valves. The ones I do having laying around are all bent and fucked up.

Re: Talon Build thread
Well I finally started the car up and drove it around a little bit Everything seems fine so far. I have small vacuum leak coming from where the throttle body meets the intake manifold and every now and then the saturn alternator puts out too much voltage (15.5ish). Here's a video of the first start-up. The car had been idling for about 10 minutes so the lifters were still ticking quite a bit. The second video is after I put about 30 miles on it. The motor is a used 6 bolt so nothing required a break in. Lopey idle vid: I also cut a vent in a stock hood, installed some mesh fence from home depot, some edge molding from vatozone and then painted it with some plasti-dip.
