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.

Mitsu recommends 60K on timing belts.... if yours is at 90k then you are running on borrowed time... change that thing or you will find out what belt valves are all about.
