So I've been kicking around the idea of picking up another DSM if I found one within my price range. Well it just so happens that a guy on a local car page on Facebook posted the car up for sale a few weeks back. I messaged him and offered him an old rifle, a welder, and a little cash for the car. After playing the waiting game, he replied yesterday afternoon, and my father-in-law and I went and picked it up last night.
I'm the 3rd owner, 4th if you count the guy that bought it just to fix and sell it. It just so happens that the car was fixed by a friend of mine earlier this year, and put up for sale around June. At that time there was no way I could afford it, but 6 months down the road, it's sitting in my driveway, haha.
The car is 90% stock. It has an eBay 16g and a 1G BOV on the OEM 2G piping. It's sitting at 153,xxx miles right now, but it has a rod knock... Other than that, it still has the original privacy cover and cargo net!
A little back story; I picked up a 1995 Eclipse GSX rolling shell back in 2011. I've been collecting parts for that car for the past 3 years, and have just about everything (and I mean everything) to get it put back together. So the plan is to assemble the engine I have for the GSX and swap it out with the knocking motor that's currently in the Talon. As long as all goes to plan and the engine is running well after the break-in period, I will pull it back out of the Talon, and drop it into the Eclipse. In the meantime, I plan on having the Talon's original motor pulled apart, and all needed machine work done.
I'm going to tear into the car on Monday, and I'll snap some more pictures then. Until next time guys, peace.
