What's the latest part you picked up for your car?!? Post it up here lets see em!
Just picked up a turbo for the '90 Talon, supposed to be pretty potent for a stock-framed ordeal.
Here's an auto DSM running one at the drag strip, left lane vs. the Evo
Hoping for ~400whp at 20ish or so psi for the Talon I'm converting to track duty. The quick spool, torque on demand and decent power output should be plenty for someone with no track experience like myself  |

Is there some sort of special treatment done to the compressor wheel? It looks all shiney. |

No but it looks extrude honed with works pretty good on wheels. I gained about 30 hp from doing that once. |

Looks like a wheel from Forced Performance. Nothing special to make it look that way, they just use a lot of cutting passes. If you look at a wheel from a Precision turbo, they don't use as many passes; essentially like lower resolution or reduced quality surface finish. |

It's nothing horribly exciting. Adjustable Koni struts and shocks, 30mm torsion bar, adjustable spring perches with 350 lb/in springs, spring plate bushings, new ball joints, and Weltmeister front and rear adjustable sway bars. I'm also ordering a set of Ground Control camber/caster plates tonight.

As soon as I get the parts in my grubby hands, I'll post pics.

I purchased some PowerTrix SS coilovers and rear upper adjustable control arms recently. Along with those, I installed a previously purchased Nismo rear strut bar and some adjustable tension rods. Installed on a friday night, dialed in on saturday morning and track tested on sunday. |
