I'd say it depends on the price?

If that does not matter, then it has a few "outdated" parts (they still work). It's a black 2gb Talon, I say buy that sucka..

Gimme a pic when you do..(for closure)

We're gonna definitely need a price before giving an answer to you. Granted a good price, it doesnt seem like a bad buy at all. As long as the paint is good and body is good and you dont see any massive puddles below or on the engine.

Wants 7,000 for it. It is a black base coat with blue/gold metallic flake over it (just painted a year ago) Well I have a few new parts that will be going on it as soon as I get it such as a Turbo xs HPBC, external Tial 38mm wastegate, walbro fuel pump, AFPR, mostly likely 850cc injectors. I also have a garret T3/T4 57 trim turbo brand new I might swap out for the 16g or should I do that?

Also what kinda times you think I could pull in it (quarter,8th, and 60')

Heres a pic of it:

OK. good pump, afpr. That 16G aint to shabby, I'd wait. With that SAFC, you're not going to control those 850s. Use 550s if you want little to no problems, use 650s if you're good . Use DSMlink if you run 850s.

I'd focus on tuning.


EDIT: OOOOO, it does look nice..

Nice looking car definitely. However, the question about 1/4 mile times. Its worthless to speculate. Too many variables. Driver, tuning, boost, etc. etc. If you like it man, go for it.

any signs of abuse?

 

[eclipse_turbo97]

I have asked to owner about abuse and he said he doesn't give it hell, but ya never know about that, especially with a car that has modifications done to it. Why do them if you aren't going to run it? Also ran a carfax at it came out clear.
