new guy with awd talon

[rice]

Im new to dsm. This is my first one. Im used to jdm so I hope to see some good. I am picking up a mildly built awd eagle tsi model. Not ever sure the year im thinkin 97 I have some pics of the car as it is before pick up it. Needs very much love and tlc. Im very undereducated on this car. But it screams potential so I had to buy. Hope you don't mind the large pics.

Don't worry it wont look like this for long!

looks like it has some potential. Definately not a 97. Either a 95 or 96. They had that body kit. They gave it a much needed face lift in 97. Good luck with the project. Im sure youll like it alot

Thanks man nice to see such quick reply's. tell me this forum may be a nice choice. thanks for the year info.

I was told it has a 94 motor in it what are the odds of that?

Yes definately not a 97 as stated before either a 95 or 96. But its a damn good start swap that front bumper with a 97 thats what Im doing with my 95. Bets of luck

Ok cool what does the bumper swap involve? Also this may sound a little lame but what about a eclipse front bumper will it bolt up? or look good for that matter?

Does any one know where I can get a FSM or at least a vacuum diagram?

 

[boostin92awd]

The bumper bolts right up, as for the eclipse swap read through this http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/app...52-converting-talon-eclipse-merged-3-8-a.html. Personally I prefer the 2gb talons so thats why am going with the 97 front bumper.

Welcome, good luck on getting her the way you want!

If you don't know the model year of the car you probably don't have a title in your hand.

Don't spend any money on the car until you know if it can be licensed and driven on the street.

Other than dealing with legal issues it looks like a fun project.

I got it know its a 96 and so i found that the trannys bell housing is cracked. sigh

What do 7 bolt trannys run?

I should have some new pics up soon.

depending on how bad it is, you can probably have it welded for $100 or so. Buying a use tranny will set you back about $400 to $600, less if you can find a good deal and you have to get the 2g tranny.

Check out this tranny!.
