I'll have the beater Talon up for sale soon, returned to stock, with the kinks worked out, for the upper end of that pricerange ($2500).

PM me if you want more info. Some basic pics are up on the site.

Also, AWD4kicks is dead on in his post there. Very sound advice.

If it's got the 13g turbo, it's probably an automatic, don't you think?

[resalturbo]

it says 13b not 13g its by aurora illinois 2 hour trip from peoria doin the speed limit
well if i can get ahold of him i will go on monday and check it out what should i look for or look out for on this thing??

[KOU In3]

13b or g whatever. its a small ass turbo that will do you no justice til you put a 14b or larger on that bad boy. I say go for it. Bring cash. Low ball and settle in the middle.

If it's the 13g my concern would be that's it an auto. Everything that that entails (not crazy about the auto trans but also has smaller injectors, etc.). But hey, if you're up for an auto, go for it. Unless the mistype was on the 13 and he meant 14B (doubt it though). Either way, it's worth it to see a few to compare. There's one listed on a new thread on this board too that sounds worth checking out. I think focused is in Champaign. If the car is here, I cam help take a look if you want.

I wouldn't think twice about a mere 2 hour trip to pick up a good DSM. Heck we're headed to Kansas this week on a parts run. And have been to MI to pick up turbos before.

As to the last half:- sounds like the Spyonyou motto. Not bad advice though. Seems to work well for ya and your fleet of supercars. Darn P-town high-rollers.

[resalturbo]

in the add it says it has a new five speed tranny in it so i am not to worried about it.
still trying to get ahold of him though.

As long as it's not an automatic.

You da highroller. Everytime I turn around you got a new part or another rolling chassis, or another running DSM. You've bought more DSM's and DSM parts (OEM and aftermarket) in a year than I have in the 4 years that I've been into DSM's. You da highroller.

That's what I was saying about the 13x turbo...they're in autos most of the time.

Have fun on your Kansas run...we just got back from southern MO where we picked up a '91 FWD Auto, w/an unused HRC Super16G (PM me if anyone needs parts) . Don't forget to bring your "road kit"...our only problem on THIS trip was a flat tire on the truck we used for towing. Been to KY to pick up a parts car, and I got the Talon that I drive out in VA (that sucked...WAY too long of a drive )

[resalturbo]

The ad says it's a '93. I would definately check the build date to confirm a 6bolt in there. If the build date is Apr/May of '92, you'll have to investigate more closely.

Check this link:

Depends a lot on your goals and budget with the car too. If you're shooting for 12's at all I'd start with an AWD personally. Not that it's not doable (lest I start that whole discussion), just that it's cheaper in an AWD. Mid 13's are pretty darn hard in a FWD too. Just ask Spy about his times with 270lb/ft in a FWD.

If the car is clean, has good compression, and a few mods though, your offer is reasonable. If it has a six bolt.

Just my $0.02 though

[resalturbo]

thanks man for the info

[resalturbo]

do i want a six or seven bolt??
what is the difference besides the bolt pattern of cource??

[KOU In3]

You definately want a six bolt.

Short answer on the difference is that the 7 bolt is prone to crankwalk. A 7 bolt motor will cut the value of your 1G roughly in half from my buying experiences.

[resalturbo]

i email'ed him and asked him, just waiting on a reply, like always, well thanks for the advice, i owe you one. -resalturbo-

[NOMIEZVR4]

yea i was checking that one in aurora out, it doesn't run and it prolly has more problems.

[resalturbo]

man do i hate people that post there car for sale and hope to really sell it and then there is a buyer and you cant get ahold of the seller. i found what i thought are some good deals and are worth looking at but the sellers wont respond, like one guy left his phone# only to find out it had been disconected
so some advice: if you are gonna sell a car---answer your phone, give the right number and answer your email. man do i hate stupid people.
so to all of the sellers out there i understand that some of the cars may already have been sold but still email me and tell me that so i dont stay interested. well peace out -resalturbo-

[resalturbo]

well i am gonna take a road trip up to the suberbs of chicago on sunday to take a look at a 93 talon tsi with 130 k and a bunch of mods and a 92 gst with only 107k and no mods. the 93 talon is a 7 bolt and wants 2200 and the 92 dont know what it is and the ac needs recharged but will take 2000 and is a dealer and i have to wait till the title gets in to actually buy it. so i will more than likely get the 93 he said all of the maintenance is kept up on it like the timing belt is changed and stuff like that but it is a 7 bolt--does that mean it WILL crank walk or is just more than likely to crankwalk.
which way should i go guys??? would anyone be willing to take a road trip with me to check the 93 out?? just let me know
-resalturbo-

btw both ARE 5 speeds

[SCCA Stang]

the 93 talon is a 7 bolt and wants 2200 and the 92 dont know what it is and the ac needs recharged but will take 2000 and is a dealer and i have to wait till the title gets in to actually buy it. so i will more than likely get the 93

if it were me, i'd take the 92 rather than the '93 with a 7 bolt.

the '92 you said was still virgin, no mods = no prior owner mod screw-ups.

and the '92 is definately a 6 bolt unless it has had a motor swap
