1997 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD 5-speed modded, This is a real nice ride! Options

[BudmannG]

Hey Guys, I am posting this for a friend from STL. Take a look this is a very CLEAN car.

Finally the car is almost done and ready to sell. Speed and Sound is just wrapping up a few loose ends and it will be good to go. Before the car had the headgasket redone it put down 335whp without the sheetmetal intake. The car has never had a full dyno tune since the addition of the sheetmetal inake although it did run 12.7@109mph on pump gas untuned. I am the second owner of this car. The car was great to me and I had a lot of fun with it. The only reason it is for sale is because I now have the EVO and need to move on. This car was babied.... The oil was always changed every 2000 miles. If you have any questions I'll answer them. I realize some of you might not care for the price but there is a lot of time and money invested in this car and I do feel it is worth it. I am also open to offers.

Speed Design is the shop that made one of the original 4-spider diffs for the DSM. They are located in Godfrey IL just outside of St Louis Mo and have been working on DSMs forever. They have developed a fix for crankwalk that has been proven. They have cars on the road that have had the fix on there for many many miles with no issues.

Now I know what the next question is going to be. No I do not know what the "fix" is. It is a process that only Jeff and Mark at speed design know. Honestly if they told everyone how to do it then they would give away thier business. I'm not a mechanic but I think it has to do with a machining process and a new type of bearing. The only thing that really needs to be said is that they stand behind thier work and they are upstanding guys who have given back to the DSM community longer than most DSM'ers have been driving.

If you really want to know more the best bet would be to call Jeff at Speed Design (618 467 3252) and ask him. He is a really cool guy and very helpful.
