1992 Eagle Talon TSi review from North America
"Pure Power Lots of Potential Fun to Drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator just went timing belt almost snapped, but it because a screw was stuck in the timing belt cover. Exhaust gasket was replaced. All new wires plugs fluids etc routine maintenance.
Stay Away from mechanics try fixing whatever you can yourself buy a repair manual for the car take the time to fix it. Put news belt on it change all the fluids and old hoses and you can save yourself headache and money in the long run.
General comments?
This car is unlike any other I have ever driven. When it runs the engine roars the car drives firm and when the turbo kicks in it scare any car away of compete with the best out there. It is no doubt a head turner where ever it is driven. People always ask what kind of car is this and when they hear the engine they are taken aback and the pure sound almost comparable to a porche. High maintenance car and you have to be able to repair a lot of things yourself or else you can spend a fortune paying greedy mechanics. I will not ever trade this car for anything else it just rules and with $2000 you can make this car 350-400 hp easily and not pay high insurance, but at the same time still be able to race with porches and corvettes. Believe me when I say this car can handle the power.
