1992 Eagle Talon TSI AWD from North America - Comments

Put in a new battery, new brakes front and back, new clutch, new alternator, and new oil pressure sensor.

I have also done minor body work to both side door panels. The car also has I-bach springs and has a Momo shifter, pedals, and steering.

Currently I notices that the rear engine seal is leaking, and it is going into the shop next weak. I haven't owned the car for very long and I am looking for any suggestions of things that should also be checked out while the engine is out. I figure that since the engine will be coming out I should probably get some other things replaced. I'm all ears!!

The car handles very well on all roads and in all kinds of weather conditions.

This car is very quick and has shown up many other cars. It's a very nice looking car, it's Teal Green, with all the windows tinted. The back seat is very small, but it is expected since it's better known as a sports car.

Eagle's #1, Although parts can be expensive I would drive no other.

Hello Steven you were interested in hearing about other parts that should be checked. I also own talon and I have noticed one thing about them. Timing belts seem to go out about every fifty thousand miles and they can be a real pain in the rear. I have put two timing belts on mine, but other than that I haven't had any problems, you might want to look into putting some other performance parts on it because some of the factory parts break easily, heads exhaust manifold and some others, well I hope you enjoy your car and smoke some civics for every one out there.

HI,

I'm guessing that you have long since done your repairs, but i'll still say this for information purposes.

It is very important you keep your timing belt in proper condition otherwise if it skips you could be looking at having to buy up to 16 new valves, and sometimes if your unlucky up to all of the pistons.

The rear engine seal could be laking because of a little devil called crankwalk. it only shows up on late 1992 and later 2.0L cars. Mitsu. mis machined the crankshaft so that, after time, the crank can move thru the bearings up to a 1/4 of an inch!

Don't let this scare you away tho' this car is one of the best performance bargains you can buy. Preventative maint. is the key.
