1993 Eagle Talon AWD TSi review from North America

Since acquisition of the previous owner at 60,000 miles very little has gone wrong. this owner did read up on problems that would happen if maintenance was not taken care of, and common problems, thus he took care of them before they erupted into full problems.

Change of Timing chain, water pump, and timing guides at 55,000 miles.

Capacitors replaced before leakage occurred- 75,000 miles.

Timing belt, water pump, and all else replaced again at 107,000.

Rear hydraulics have gone out on lift back- 119,000 miles.

New battery 119,000 miles.

This was a really sweet deal to come across. I was fourtunate enough to find a older man who took immaculate care of his vehicles. at 100,000 miles an oil change was never missed, or a timing belt change for that matter. With a high flow fuel pump, after market external waste-gate, boost controller, and 3" exhaust from my turbo back I have few competitors on the road. I was astounded when my stock turbo was putting out 15 PSI, far exceeding the 7-10 stock PSI. Whether it be alpine driving or flat out drag I have beat 2003 Audi A4's, and just about anything Honda (although there are some CRX's out there that have my number), even other elclipse's/ Talons have difficulty at times. DSM's finest are displayed in this stock turbo beast. Although the back seat holds little else than some work supplies, what does a 18 year old motor head need a back seat for? I would greatly appreciate any helpful comments anyone could make to make this 13.4 second car a little faster. i had an idea for a new EVO head unit installation (they are the same motor), am I off the wall or is this possible with beneficial effects?
