A friend is trying to sell his fairly heavily modded 1993 AWD Talon. I'm doing this list from memory, since I've done most of the work on it.
Background: I know the current owner and the previous owner, and the literally did buy it from a 82 year old lady (!) who had every receipt since it was new in 1993. She had taken it to the dealer for everything, and I mean everything, until it had about 85K on it. During that time, the head was replaced, the trans was rebuilt, the transfer case was replaced, etc.
The car is a 5spd, by the way.
For the first owner, I put in a CFDF clutch, installed a ported 95 manifold, a big 16G, a ported O2 housing, a fuel pump, a VPC, replaced the front and rear main seals, removed the balance shafts, did the timing belt, tensioner, and water pump, boost gauge, etc.
For the second owner, I removed the 16g, installed an FP Green, with a 2g manifold with a Tial gate, installed an AFDX huge front mount kit, including all of the piping, installed an ACT 2600 clutch along with a Fidanza flywheel, changed the intake to a 3" Dejon with a large K&N filter, AGXs with Eibach Pro-kit springs, new hatch struts, and a set of BC cams, and a Buschur 2.5" exhaust turbo-back. It has a cat installed, but it includes a matching test pipe.
The current owner also installed: a Greddy boost controller, newer style headlights, a wideband (I'm forgetting the brand), 18" wheels and new tires.
I've replaced the brake pads once for the second owner, and replace pads and rotors for the third owner. The car is very clean, the current owner loves detailing the car with products worthy of a Ferrari. The interior is black leather, and is in excellent shape. He's replaced all of the stereo components, but you'd have to ask him what he did - I'm not a stereo guy.
I've asked him for pictures to post here, which I will post once I get them. He is a stand-up guy, and I will gladly vouch for him. His email address is [email protected], and his name is Daniel.
Here is the complete mod list, copied directly from the owner.

Thanks.
