1991 Eagle Talon TSI AWD review from North America
"Absolutely a super killer on road! Excellent!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Many parts were made in cheaply, so they are mostly old and worn out.
The driver's side window is always lost in track.
Valve springs always produce a strange sound if the mileage is high.
The front and back window (especially back one) is loosing tension when the mileage is high.
Boost too much will need to replace exhaust manifold.
General comments?
This car is the best one to modify for excellent performance. I can beat many cars no matter if they are expensive or new on the road. Spending some money can make it fly!
Clutch and transmission are weak originally, so need to replace it when the mileage is over 80,000.
Maintenance is very important to this car. Turbo timer, changing engine oil, transmission oil, transfer case oil and other oils are necessary very often.
My car's exterior and interior are better than many 95-99 vehicles because of the high level of maintenance. If you are too lazy to take care of this car, it will be rubbish soon.
