My first DSM

[stormwolf1972]

I picked this car up for 1000 dollars. The interior is almost perfect and the body has minimal damage, only one fender really. The place i am getting it from said they think it broke the timing belt but i would have rebuilt the entire engine anyway to be safe. It's a 1992 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD, buts it's an auto trans. Thanks to this forum i know what's needed to convert to a 14B from the tiny 13B thats in it.

[rsprime1]

[Turblown]

Good stuff. I recently picked up this choice beauty (without the Optima battery) for $800 cash.

 

[skandel11]

[turbizzle]

thats sick dude, now just a little tlc and that thing could have some serious potential

 

[fwdmaster]

Nice Buy

 

[stormwolf1972]

Thanks guys. This car is going to be a lot more fun to work on than my last project. A 1994 V6 firebird....no parts, no tuning, nothing really. With the 14B i have on the way, some injectors and an ECU from a manuel, and a turbo back exhaust i am hoping to have a lot of fun. maybe even get the girlfriend hooked and get her one too

91 eagle talon tsi turbo 5spd

If you lived in California, you could of picked up a cleaner one.

 

[stormwolf1972]

you cali guys have a bit better selection than we do down here in the butt end of the bible belt....

 

[White_Comet2]

Sweet...welcome to the world of DSM's....after get done with my daily project...i'm gonna hunt me down a 1G

Haha. true that. Rust free more than you'll ever be.

 

[mitch26753]

why mess with a 14b? get a 16g for around the same price!

 

[GofaST4life]

nice find man!!...now give her new life and treat her good...

 

[twoTSis]

Haha. true that. Rust free more than you'll ever be.

Wish I could get to cali man...bet you guys have DSMs that are 20 times better, plus a better selection of on hand parts. We have to rely for parts on the junkyards and internet around here

^^^^At least we don't have to worry about SMOG testing every year like in Cali . Good stuff for a 1000 bucks. If i was i would convert to a 5 speed.

 

[Krazy_Kreationz]

x2 on the convert... that is a great find man shit there for a moment I thought that was a local junk yard here good luck on the build

 

[twoTSis]

x3 on converting to 5spd, that'd be easy though just would take time.

Yeah smog testing would suck, It's alright here in the midwest

Agreed. Few supporting mods also.

 

[TSIMonsteR]

I say stick to the auto and build a sick dragster... but thats just me (i'm a little biased)

good find

 

[GofaST4life]

x5 for the convert to manual!

x5 for the convert to manual!

That's also in my plans for this summer. The auto shifts quick, but I want the control.

 

[mitch26753]

Agreed. Few supporting mods also.

Yeah i never have understood why people will go from a 13b or t25 to a 14b? It makes no sense when for the same amount of money you could get a small 16g and for probably 50 more get a big 16g or a evo 3! Worry about the other bolt ons first before you mess with that anyway!
