I am selling my 1998 Eagle Talon TSi due to the fact that I have another vehicle and I just don't drive it or use it that much and I am sure someone else could enjoy it much more than I am now. I am the second owner of the vehicle I bought it from a Navy officer in San Diego in 2006 and it has been my daily driver ever since. The chassis itself has just over 104,000 miles. The car was repainted Albany Black Pearl almost a year ago. It is black but has a lot of blue sparkle to it at nighttime under the lights. The car was basically completely redone when the motor blew just over 17,000 miles ago. The shortblock was replaced with a 7 bolt out of a 1993 Eclipse and was stroked out to a 2.3L. The head is still off of the original 1998 car but had a complete rebuild done. The car has never been to the track since the rebuild nor has it seen a dyno so I have no numbers or times. At that time anything and everything on the car that needed replaced was. My trip to work right now is less than a mile on way so the car see's very little mileage. It has a 1999 GSX flashable ECU in it that has been flashed by Wingz Performance to clean up the stock flash. The car was compression tested a couple days ago with results of 181-182-181-184. The pan was also removed to fix a leak and the inside of the engine looks as new as the day it was assembled. The tags are good until April of 2012. Here is a list of the mods and parts that were replaced during the rebuild.

The vehicle has ice cold A/C and drives great. I have not had any major problems with it since it has been rebuilt. It is a great daily driver but it is really ready to be built up and I just don't have the time or energy to do it anymore. The car is in fantastic shape. There are a few things that I will list so there are no surprises to anyone that comes and see's it.

Cons:
1. The hood has a few dents from a printer falling on it in my garage.
2. The oil pressure sending unit doesn't read right. I have now had Prosport warranty the sending unit 3 times. It is stuck at 100psi. The dummy light still works but the oil pressure never gets that low. The oil pressure is fine. 21psi at idle with a mechanical gauge.
3. The power steering system was completely removed from the car when it was redone. Since it is front wheel drive it is not hard to drive at all. You can see it reflected in the engine picture.
4. The trims above the windows is cracking. Would be easy to snag from a junkyard or just repaint.

Price is 6,000. Any other questions feel free to email me or call or text. 623-606-3369. Thanks. Adam.
