Background: Northwest-owned 1997 Eagle Talon TSi AWD in Jade Pearl, two of 24 produced. Acquired from a friend and longtime DSM enthusiast who entrusted me to carry the torch. Its previous build thread is documented here on DSMtuners, and I plan to continue its legacy as a thoughtfully modified and well-documented street build. The focus will be on continued maintenance, refinement, and reliability while preserving the character that made the car special. After sitting for many years, the task of bringing it back to life has now begun. Documented through @drivenbyboss and BOSS Innovations.
