No problem XJWoody.......My 1st car was a 428 Cobra Jet '69 Mustang when I was 16 years old....I learned how to drive a clutch for the first time on the way home.....Finally dared to check this thread out (dial-up @ home = no-go)

Welp.......I got the word today that my '90 AWD Talon will be done and ready for pickup at the end of this week for getting an 8 point chrome moly roll cage installed ....
The dragstrip here in Michigan is open until the 2nd of December........Should I go there and run my very first 10 second time ticket before the track closes? Temperatures are expected to be in the mid 30's at best 
Great for a turbocharged car of my stature.....but....will my DOT slicks really hook up on my AWD car? There is NOOOO burnouts in da water box with an AWD........Hmmmm.....Decisions will have to be made within the next few days ....

Welp......I got my Talon race car back yesterday.....Here are a few images of the 8 point chrome moly roll cage that I had custom made and installed.......the cage is legal for 9.50 et's and slower. I kept my full interior to keep the car nice. The cage was powder coated to keep it looking extra nice .... If I happen to hit the cement barrier at 135 MPH and get killed..
..I will be happy that I had the proper safety equipment

That looks really bad. You should sell me that car so you don't have to look at it. Nice car makes me want another one real bad.

Not sure what you mean Serge.......LOL! I have 12 different pictures of this 8 point cage that I took today.......I only posted 3 because on this site and it's recent problems with speed........just trying to help here...If anyone would like to see more.....send me your email address...I am kinda upset tonight.......as my engine builder and tuner is so jealous of this cage because I only paid $1,500 bucks out the door......he is paying $2,800 for less.......and his chassis guy does not even powder coat them like my man didWelp Talon, that should keep enough of you together for a DNA cloning

It cost big bucks to have a shop take out your interior.....measure up all the bars.....take them out....get them powder coated.....then put them back in.....weld them up.....then put the interior back in and make it look pretty....LOL! Buschur is the biggest and most well known man in the world for a fact with this type of car and motor. He just sent me hate mail..........He will get over it.......I have known him for over 15 years.........Jealousy and real life millionaires do not go together

Nice car you got there!
I like the way the roll cage comes down over the back seats. Looks like there is space to store a few chain saws behind the roll bars for safe keeping too!

Talon you shoud get some 1976 Michigan red, white and blue license plates for your car. Those bicentainal plates are my favorites when it comes to graphics.

One more image that I found from working on the car from October at the drag strip Summit Raceway Park in Norwalk, Ohio ...I was hoping for my very 1st 10 second time ticket....Problems caused me to come up short on this day http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f197/fat_kid_racing/15th dsm shootout/DSCN4776.jpg
Very low 10's are the real world for my car.......not too bad for a 2.0 litre 4 cylinder turbo car @ 3,200 pounds ......LOL!

Those DSMs are decent cars. I had a chance at I think it was a 1993 Eclipse GSX, with a 16G ported and trimmed turbo, big down pipe, rims, and lots of other goodies including a brand new Stage 3 6 puck racing flywheel.
Ran but needed some tuning due to the NEW turbo, also needed paint and probably some fresh 93, as it has been sitting for 3 years!
He was asking 2500 for it.:censored: :censored:
I passed, the Center Diff is kinda expensive and I drive my Vette hard so ID be tempted to drop the clutch at 5K+...which would destroy the Center diff.
Instead Ive opted to finish an old project...1990 Volvo 740 GL Turbo. New turbo, new interior, runs like NEW. But needs paint and lights on all 4 corners.
BOOST??? Yeah we got that.

My friends made the first "4 spider" diff for the . But a decent machinist can make one cheap. I had a buddy of mine make one for me. It was $75. It's very hard to break a 4 spider diff.

Man chill out a little no harm meant. It was relavent to what he said about weak diffs and being expensive. Sorry if it made you mad but it's nothing to get pissy about.

I have a welded center differential...... 4 spiders diffs will not handle 600+ horsepower and over 500 pound feet of torque from what many people tell me. You weld them and forget it.
