[randypogue]

Looking around on criagslist today i found a wrecked 95 talon tsi for 1100. Heres what the guy said about the car. I have a 95 eagle talon tsi. Awd. Auto tranny. Runs perfect. 135000 miles. 2.0 dohc motor. Big evo 3 turbo. $1500 4" exaust. I clipped a center wall and it broke the drivers front tire free. It will need to be towed. I have it up $1500 but need the cash so ill take $1100. It has to be gone today. It will need towed. I work until 6 and will need picked up after. This is a steal. It has oem racing springs all the way around. Loud bov. Exaust sounds nasty. Its auto but can i convert it into a manual and will it be hard to do that conversion to a manual and to swap out my engine for this engine that in the car for sale.

It would be a breeze if you didnt have a 420a but you will just have to do new motor mounts and youll have to buy a new tranny

Why swap, I guarantee you can shift faster than a computer and not lose boost between shifts.

i shift alright for a 16 year old but alot of people been saying. OH GET A TURBO CAR AND THEN WE MIGHT BE IMPRESSED!!!! But i guess im geting tired of peopel talking sh!t on me and saying my cars a piece of sh!t you know just want to do the swap so people can stop saying stuff. Or just save up more money and buy a gsx or something.

Really? I'm fairly certain the exact opposite is true.
