So I replaced my bumper support, my hands are pretty rough looking now but she is all back together. Also Terry blacked out my center section, I think it looks pretty good!

LOL yeah it is a trouble light, which I keep dropping which keeps destroying the bulbs.
Yeah for sure, it's been a long time!
No just the lower timing cover getting chewed and the belt getting shredded.

yeah I am switching to florescent for the trouble light, i like to burn myself too. It's not the pain for me though, it's the shock, and I get super frustrated after the first few times (might be why i go through bulbs so fast :P).

Hey Kids, so I haven't been doing anything much lately that was really worth while posting here. Today after throwing on my winters terry and I put in my 1000s. The car seemed to like them and ran well. The only issue I was having was starting the car from warm, car would run like a bag of sh!t, and the throttle response was complete garbage and pushing gas would also cause the car to stall as well.

So I am now gathering everything I need to do the welding of my body panels. I was originally planning to have someone else handle, but instead of doing what I have usually done I decided I would do it the first time. Alex was kind enough to lend me his welder, thanks again Alex, and just need to grab some more bed liner and sheet metal. Here is me practicing on some scrap metal I found in the garage, don't worry it was from a 1990 cruise control box. Just pay attention to the bottom right weld and the t-weld of the piece at the top, let me know what you think!!

So I have decided to take a new direction with the car. I now realize that the talon will never be a great road course car so I have decided to go the rally route. I am already in the process of picking up some Hella Lights I will also start looking for a Rally Spec coilover setup, I have heard good things about hotbits and am leaning towards them. Shortly after I will probably ditch my 18s for some 16s. After that we shall see where we go.
As for the welding progress I will be cutting out the patch next week and welding in the new one. Just need a few more things and I will be good to go.

I have been talking to Richard Fender and he has been helping me with idea and what his setup is like.
So last night I was planning to drop the battery down onto the subframe. I removed the charcoal canister and all that other junk down there and came to find that the battery is too big, so it's back on it's tray for now until I either a)get a smaller batter or b) move it to the trunk. Not sure which option I will choose.
Thanks Reza for the picture and tips for getting this done.

Ok the one thing I am worried about with a small battery is that my car sits a lot. Is this going to be an issue?

Is this the one I should be looking at? https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17750&cat=1915&page=1Ok how long do you think the car can sit without needing a charge. The car is usually doesn't sit for more than a week.

Ok good to know, I will weigh the costs and the work, looks like the Odyssey is the winner right now.
That's another question I needed to ask. For the 1g hatch struts what are yours like (or any other 1g guys). Mine since day one I have to push the hatch up and then when they are fully open they will hold the hatch open.
