I have been meaning to send this out for quite some time, so here we go...
To everyone that might be out there, I just wanted to send out a big thanks for all the help over that last few years!
I am one of the old geezers (49 years old) out there that has been completely amazed and humbled by the degree of GREAT help and advice that is available to us on this site!
I purchased a 1995 Eagle Talon TSI AWD for my son several years back for $2,000 bucks and after several years of use by him, decided to sell the car as items began to fail all at once. He talked me into keeping the car and fixing it up like I once did with Mazda RX 7's and BMW M3's.
Little did I know what a journey I was in store for! Two plus years later, thanks to what I have learned from DSM Tuners.com members and a many great vendors that I have had the great fortune to work with, I have rebuilt a car that I have had more fun with than any car that I have ever owned!
To be perfectly honest, developing my Talon has kept me from going insane on many, many occasions!!! My wife would attest to this! I must also attest that at times figuring out how to go about the upgrade path has also mode me a little crazy as well! At one time, due to financial hardship, I tried to sell the car. Thank GOD, It didn't sell! I think I unconsciously priced it way to high!
I have ended up with a car that dependably produces 350 + WHP both on the street and the track and looks as good as it runs!
I hope in time that I will be able to help a newbie as much as I have been helped!
Once again, thanks to all of you for all the help
All the best,
Pres
