Hey guys I've been working on the car off and on for about 6 months, and now I have to go back to school, however, I havent gotten this car back on the road yet...
I have a few friends who really love this car and want to take it off my hands, but I have no idea what the car and all the parts I have are worth.
Just wondering what you guys think its worth so that I can come up with a fair price for it. Thanks for all the help along the way, it sucks that I never got this car back on the road but I did learn a great deal trying...
Its a 95 talon TSI AWD with 111k mi and a six-bolt swap. The car has a clean title and a straight frame and no rust. I think the car was repainted at some point because the body has some paint chips but its the same color paint beneath.
The interior is in great condition and the only problems on the interior is that the corner of the passenger side airbag has pulled up a little and I dont think the Kenwood CD player is wired in, it looks to be just sitting there.
The car is currently not road worthy. The engine has a misfire on the number 2 plug I cant figure out where its coming from or why. The #2 plug comes out black and the rest come out lean. Ive replaced coil packs and checked all the connections its probably something that would be easy to diagnose with proper equipment or dsmlink. The car also smokes when under load sometimes, its not that bad but it gets worse with the misfire. The car also may have a problem with its transfer, it was clunky on the last trip around the block, and its been making some rattling noises from that area. The turbo and all other components seem to be in good shape and I have no mystery oil in the intake track.
I truly love this car and I really hate to give up on it but I have only a few weeks to go before I move into a new apartment up at school and I need a solid running car.
The following things have been done to the car:
replaced 95 talon front bumper with the 2gB eclipse front end,
2gB black and clear halo headlights with the halos wired into the corner markers
2gB black rear hatch it has a much nicer looking wing and the black looks great with the 2tone car
brand new eagle floor mats
16 inch chrome gsx wheels with new Blizzak snow tires
6bolt engine swap, bottom end swapped by previous owner
6bolt head fresh rebuild. long tail green top CAS all wired in properly
6bolt throttle body
relocated the map sensor to the firewall rather than drilling the manifold
ported 2g throttle body elbow
all new vacuum hoses all around to replace all the old crispy ones
relocated 2g coil packs
custom performance spark plug wires
2 selts of plugs both with less than 5 miles on them
injen air intake with a massive 5inch? wide opening
authentic greddy type S BOV thats properly connected with a second boost source so that it blows off properly with out closing early like most quick Type S installs
painted valve cover! haha thats got to count for something... no?.. well at least I tried
greddy evo2 3inch cat back exhaust
3 inch high flow cat
3 inch down pipe with a big flex pipe
