My RWD Project is alive!

Post by skizzo »

My RWD Eagle Talon project is finally running! (click for a video) There's a whole lot more to do to finish the car, but it's coming along. :-)

I clicked that just as I was leaving last night and wow. That thing woke me up. Crazy sounding.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.

thanks guys - I've been doing a lot of tweaking on the Haltech, and it's running better now than it was then. I still have a lot of tuning to do, but I need to get the car done before I'm able to do that.

The 2 foot long four inch exhaust is very loud and makes the car just sound mean. You should hear the turbo - even with no boost being produced, it also sounds really mean. Fun stuff.

Well, I'm not done yet, just a bit closer to the finish line. Only three years and three months from the time I tore it down until it started back up! :)

I'm halfway between Ann-Arbor and East Lansing, in Howell. I'm neither a Spartan or a Wolverine, but I did grow up in Lansing.
