Just bought another DSM, what you think?

[Drewcool2]

Well, I went from a 1995 Eclipse GS, to a 1995 TSi AWD(in my profile), to a 1999 Audi A4 1.8T, and now back to the DSM world with this '95 TSi AWD. I missed the DSMs!

What do you guys think of my new 1995 Talon TSi AWD?

I purchased this car in Ohio on Saturday for $5500. It has a freshly rebuilt short block with around 150 miles on it. The head has around 12,000 miles on it. The transmission was also recently rebuilt with around 1000 miles on it. Overall the car is in great condition with about 160,000 on the body.

Modifications:
-Wiseco Forged Pistons .20 over
-Eagle Forged Rods
-Buschur Stage I head w/ 3 layer Head gasket
-Rebuilt Transmission w/ VR4 2nd
-Buschur Race FMIC Kit
-Bullseye TOB4 V-Trim (50 trim) Turbo
-3 Inch GM MAF
-TiAL 50MM BOV
-ACT 2600 Clutch
-ACT XACT Flywheel
-Fluidyne Radiator w/ FlowMaster Fans
-Precision 680 Injectors
-1G Fuel Rail w/ AFPR
-Walbro 255 Pump
-RNR 3” Exhaust, no Cat
-2G Ported Exhaust Manifold
-SAFC II
-Hallman Boost Controller
-Magnecor 10mm Wires
-O2 Housing w/ Dump Tube

Other: (That I can think of)
-New Timing Belt
-New Tires (I just got)
-Drilled and Slotted Rotors

If anyone saw the previous post I made, I had the infamous 5th gear popout problem which ended up punching a hole in my transmission side cover. That is why my car is on a tow truck, . Hopefully just a matter of tightening that 36mm bolt and getting a new cover...

Other than the 5th gear pop out, how does it drive? Looks sharp

Looks nice! Good deal for sure.

 

[Drewcool2]

Other than the 5th gear, the car drives perfect. Suspension/steering is great, and its very fast un-tuned

 

[MyÜberFastGSX]

Very nice. You should get a tuning program like DSMLink, the car has alot of potential.

 

[2gAWDTalon]

That is alot of car for 5500. I dont understand why people rn a GM MAS with a turbo that cant overrun the 2G MAS?

 

[MyÜberFastGSX]

Build it to go bigger. That's why.

i wish i can have all that work done to my car for $5500. i think you got a steal. very nice

 

[MidShipCivic]

What do I think ? I think you should think about a 97-98 front!

 

[trboeclpse98]

I think you shouldnt be pushing it with only 150 miles on the short block and change your oil every 500 miles till its broken in.

Congrats on the purchase.Lot of dsm for the buck

I agree
BTW, WHAT A DEAL!!! I must have gotten ripped off cause i paid 5 and the car wasnt in good shape and it was basically stock. Wish i coulda paid 500 to have all that other stuff done.

 

[Defcon86]

Awesome buy

 

[Cs4g63]

+1 for the awesome buy. Good job.

 

[Apeximprt2nr]

Wow, awesome deal! Fix that 5th gear pop out, tune it, and bring it down the track.

 

[mosaichardflip]

sweet deal i spent half that on a completely stock 1g but nice car

 

[wvturbo2]

great deal! Keep the 95 front it looks good with the huge intercooler. Fits like a Paul Wall Grille

Looks like a lot of car for what you payed... and thats the way to go.
