Picked up a 1992 Eagle Talon TSI AWD 6bolt w/ 4bolt rear for $900 today. Definitely a project for me.
Needs the interior detailed due to mold. Needs some interior panel TLC. Transmission grinds. Needs syncros replaced. New plugs: NGK-R Went to replace the PCV valve and the piece that covers the threaded area broke... now I need a new valve cover... oh joy. Is $75 reasonable for one or does anyone have one I can have? It'd be greatly appreciated. Experienced fuel-cut in 2nd gear at 5k RPM. This thing is the fastest car I've driven to date... So I have my work cut out for me. Any comments/suggestions are welcome. For those wondering, it's treydawg's Talon he had for sale. -------------------- If the sound of a DSM in the distance rowing through the gears gives you a hardon, you might be a car enthusiast.

Sound isn't as important as flow. I didn't mind my Eclipse and not only was it obnoxious, but not that rumble that everyone loves.
I just want a 3" pipe that goes from the turbo to the bumper with an Apexi N1 muffler. Only reason I see to go to a Megan Racing/Buschur/Apexi full exhaust is for the research/design and a few less decibels... -------------------- If the sound of a DSM in the distance rowing through the gears gives you a hardon, you might be a car enthusiast.
