1992 Eagle Talon TSi review from North America
"Great car for the price if you find a non-abused one, but good luck with that!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Soon after I got the car, I had to replace the rear brakes.
The clutch needed to be replaced (due to me having a need to challenge every punk who thinks his Honda is fast).
Other than tires, that's all I've had to replace, the car runs great.
General comments?
My first car was a 92 Talon ES, I thought it was a fast car until I traded it for a Camaro, then some guy offered me his 92 Talon TSi. This car will blow the doors off almost anything on my main drag in town. I pulled up to a stop light and dumped the clutch from 6 grand and smoked a Honda with more money in the heads and exhaust than I paid for my car.
With a performance chip and an exhaust upgrade, this car will outperform any car its size. To anyone thinking of a turbo upgrade, I highly advise you to go through with it. It's worth the cost.
Only car I have driven that can out handle this car is a 3000gt vr4 twin turbo allwheel drive six speed with ported and polished heads, and a ported and polished turbo, and a four hundred dollar exhaust, a true DSM.
