My Talon




This is a page detailing my Talon, it's modifications, it's history, etc.

At the end of June 2008 I came across this Talon and at $800 I couldn't say no to what seemed to be a great project car. It's a black 1995 Eagle Talon TSi AWD with a 5-speed manual transmission and a gray cloth interior. I'm the fourth owner of the car, and bought it with some modifications already done to the car by the most recent previous owner. As I work on the car I realize that this may not have been an entirely good thing, but will end up saving me some money in the long run. The car had the remains of an intercooler sprayer system left, relocated horns (for what reason I will never know), a disconnected water pump and air conditioning, a blown-apart major coolant hose, a million oil leaks, an improperly hooked up boost controller, no fog lights (even though it had them from the factory), leaking door seals, no headunit or speakers, etc.

UPDATE: As of October 2008 the car is SOLD. I no longer had a place to keep a second car, didn't have the time to keep working on it, and didn't want to invest tons of money into making it look half-decent. It now belongs to a guy in NY.
