1.0 Beginning
The newest member of the family. A 1991 Eagle Talon TSi that I plan to use for SCCA rallycross. For the meantime it'll be kept streetable, but eventually I'd like to shoot for some hill climbing events. That's a long ways off though.
How it looked in the CL ad
I really enjoy SCCA sanctioned rallycross- which is basically autocross in the dirt/mud -because you get a chance to hone your technical driving skills and the racing is always a lot of fun.
The car is a bit rough, but I'm fine with it. Given the car's state, I won't feel as guilty when I begin tossing it around in the dirt This is DSM number three for me, so I'm jumping into this one with some prior knowledge.
In terms of mods, I have a vague idea where I'm headed. I may change my mind as things come up or issues arise, but for now the plan revolves around a small turbo and supporting mods. The reasoning behind a smaller turbo is the need for quick spool and minimal lag given the tight and fairly slow courses in rallyx.
All in all, a decent ride that just needs some TLC.
