Nice place you got here... First DSM

[Sobo]

Hello everyone!

My names Sobo. I'm not new to fast cars or anything, but I am new to DSMs. As of right now I'm a Honda guy but the AWD and less confusing parts swap deal is kind luring me in.

My summer car as of right now is a Honda CRX with a fully built Integra ITR motor, GT30R turbo and the works. The car pushes 440whp(93 octane, conservative tune) and 321ft# and weighs 1900 pounds. It's a beast.

I just picked up my newest addition to the family. Searching Craigslist this Saturday I found very interesting prospect. It was a 1995 Eagle Talon TSI AWD. It's got 129k on it, everything mechanical is in good condition. Needs minor stuff like brakes, fix a boost leak, fix a vac leak, new dipstick, and some cosmetic TLC.

I payed $500.

Being a 95, you may have an eprom ECU. If so, you are close to the point of getting DSMlink which will make your life so much more enjoyable for your car. Good luck and keep us posted on changes. Oh, any pics of the CRX?

Welcome to DSM's
That CRX looks like a beast! Any track times?
That thing probably rips those street tires at like 90mph, huh?

Haha it is a beast. Never tracked it yet, the build is fresh and I'm doing a BBK swap on it as we speak. But my buddy who runs 470 on race in a heavier civic does like 10.6's on his slicks. I have the capability for 530 on race gas haha.

It spins in 3rd at like 50 mph on street tires.

What are your plans for the Talon?

 

[ratatack]

nice collection i also ditched my honda for my eclipse but nice set up whats your plans for the talon?

 

[Sobo]

Wellllll. To be honest probably a turbo back and thats it.

It will receive 2 new doors, bondo, paint, a headliner and then I will most likely sell for $2500.
