Well, as you guys all know before I had a 3000gt. Well, I sold it. The NA v6 just wasn’t cutting it for me anymore, it got boring fast. Anyway, I sold it in the beginning of the week and I spent the entire week looking for a TSI. Ever since I was younger I always liked those cars. Well I bought one yesterday :). It’s a 1995 Eagle Talon TSI, AWD. It’s not stock which I guess is a good and bad thing at the same time. The good news is it’s got some tasteful mods. It’s got a 1g block, because the generation was built to withstand more power. It has a 50 trim turbo, 38mm wastegate, 750cc injectors, greddy timing belt, brian cowler cams, turbo back straight pipe exhaust. It was professionally tuned using ECM link. I’ve got dyno sheets, it was dyno’d at 364.19 horse power and 329.64 ft lbs of torque. It’s got launch control, all the good stuff. The transmission is a GVR4 tranny, which I am not sure how good that specific transmission is, and there is no receipts to prove it, but the last owner said thats what the tranny was. DSM users on here feel free to chime in on that… It’s got some other stuff I’m sure I’m missing. It needs some things here and there, but I think it is a big upgrade from my 3000gt. Thanks for reading guys. Sorry about the shitty quality pics, I’ll get better ones ASAP. ![http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p560/dsm3000gt1/eagle.jpg](http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p560/dsm3000gt1/eagle.jpg) ![http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p560/dsm3000gt1/eagle2.jpg](http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p560/dsm3000gt1/eagle2.jpg) ![http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p560/dsm3000gt1/dyno.jpg](http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p560/dsm3000gt1/dyno.jpg) ---

I’ve also got a time slip from the valley from the previous owner, 12.6 quarter mile and that was before the cams were installed. ---

Yeah make sure you have money aside as these can be a money pit if the previous owners didn’t maintain it before slapping on mods. i went thru 3 of these and they are fun cars but i wouldn’t say they are reliable at all especially when your pushing that kinda power, good luck. ---

Do you know how many miles are on the timing belt? If you are at all unsure you should just get a new one now and take care of it so you don’t find yourself rebuilding a head when it lets go. A new timing belt is a must every 60k miles, I wouldn’t stretch that number at all. I usually buy a new belt when I hit 50k and then put it in when it’s convenient for me. Also where exactly are you at, if you want help with any small stuff from a guy who is still neck deep in DSM I could help you out a bit. ---

Thanks for the advice man, it’s got a Greddy timing belt, all the aftermarket parts have 17,000 miles on them the guy that sold the car to me said. So i think it’s okay for a little longer. And thanks alot for offering some help, I’m probably gonna need it sometime in the future haha, afterall I’m still learning these engines ---

I doubt it has a gvr4 trans because if i remember correctly, 2g transmissions fit in 1gs but not the other way around because of the mount configuration. I would look into that for WHEN you have problems. ---

LEGIT carbon fiber, not carbon fiber wrapped… and it has a vent to help the engine run cooler. The 4g63 engines run hot, escpecially since the headers are almost on top of the radiator so any ventilation or after market fans to keep it cooler helps out alot. The hood isn’t ricey at all. I like it, and it was pretty damn expensive. ---
