1995 Eagle Talon Esi review from North America
"Fell From Heaven"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Pistons have o clearance in the engine so they can't rotate without making a hard clicking noise..
Blew the timing belt.
General comments?
I'm thinking about buying a 1995 eagle talon esi, this guy up the street wants 500 because the motor he thinks might be useless, I don't care much for the motor either way because I'm planning on throwing the 4g63 motor in there, the Tsi base not the awd version cause the tranny on this car is front wheel drive, so its gonna be front wheel drive turbo, The transmission, clutch, body, and interior on this car are all in great shape, but the motors beat so I want to do a swap for a 4g63 tsi or gst motor.. Anyone have any suggestions? Or has anyone done this yet? all comments are needed and appreciated! Thanks..
