Check Out My New Project...
 

Its a 1995 Talon TSI FWD. I know its FWD but I was a deal and couldnt pass it up. It doesnt have an engine in it. I plan to put in an engine and sell it. I think its pretty nice and it will be fun. The profit will fund a 2.4L for my Spyder. Here are some pics...

who did you pick this up from? Have fun maybe I could come down and lend a hand sometime

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Picked it up from a guy on MNSC. I usually work by myself but if I need a hand then I can let you know.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

i bought my 96 tsi awd for 250 bucks how much was yours?

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Thats a good ass deal! I picked mine up for $850

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Who did you pick this up from? Mike?

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Yah his name was Mike and he drove an RSX

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Was that the TSi on there for a while, sitting on a trailer?

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

What a fuck face. It was sold to me for 550 and he agreed on it. I was ready to pick it up and then he couldn't find the title.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

No.

He told me that someone offered him 550. Then when I took a look at it he said he couldnt sell it that low and it had to go for 850. So I said Id take it and flonted some money.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

No, the car was listed for $650 wanted out of his garage and he threw out the 550 offer if I take it. We had an agreement that he would sell it to me.I was suppose to pick it up at his place after labor day weekend because he needed put the shit back togeher. Since then said his buddie missed placed the title. I emailed him the other day if he had found the title. He responded not yet. Anyways, shit happens but ain't cool if he dicks you over. He should have enough balls to tell me that he had second thought and changed his mind.

I guess you got the better end of the deal. Good luck.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

if you need it buffed up good have kevin call me (shane) or david. Dave has Some really good professional detailing tools and expensive waxes.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

get it done and sold, bitch. then work on your woman car!

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

kid at my work traded his 95 talon tsi to a ford dealership for $250 ... it was in realllly bad shape ... I missed his call as I said I would give him $300 but he couldnt wait ... ><

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

I will work on my woman car!!! And you will LOVE it when its done!

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

not a bad deal. shouldn't be too hard to get ur hands a a decent motor for it

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Already got one lined up. Hopefully pick it up tomorrow.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

my tsi was 250$ because it has 190xxx miles on it and the transmission is shelled out but i'm lookn to get one for it on dsmtrader its a shep stage 2 the talon runs strong no ticks or anything just smooth and the body has no rust just a couple of dings has new control arms and bushings and shit up front i couldnt pass up this deal i been wanting one for a long time.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Good Christ you make one's head hurt.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Not a bad deal. If his name is Mike and drives and RSX. He is a dick posting up that he wants 650 and selling to you for 850. I hope I never see his ass on the street. He promise to sell me the car for 650. When I got the cash he pulled the same shit. I missed place my title. Well that is ok at least I am not the only person he fucked over. Good luck on the build.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Looks like a fun project.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Hey sorry about your guys experience with him! If it make you feel better I dont have the title yet. He said next week for sure. I have been going over the car and trying to find things wrong but there isnt much. It has NO rust! and there are just a couple little dings but thats about it. I almost want to keep it after im done. I washed and waxed the hatch and it looks really nice. So Shane I think Im gonna see if david wants to buff her up when it gets running.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Shit happens !Hopefully he doesn't spend your money on drugs/tickets and can get you the title.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Lets hope he has a title to get. Did you pay him already.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

If he doesn't give you the title you could always force transfer. But i think that gets pretty expensive if i remeber right

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

He's not the owner of the car. His buddie owes him money and gave him the car as payment. Who knows there might be a lien on it.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

I'm thinking the same thing.

That's too bad a few people got the shaft through MNSC, but like someone said, shit happens. Good luck rebuilding it.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

I have the basically identical car in my garage and am doing the exact same thing!

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Its OK. I have too many projects. I hope the car works out for you. Make sure he gives you the title. I wouldn't want to see another fellow DSMer get shafted.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

If he doesn't give you the title.. you know where he lives. Hard to avoid that one! Nice pickup, hope everything goes well.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Looks like your future is in selling cars. This is exactly what I was doing 7-8 years ago, now I just sell a lot nicer cars that I don't have to fix.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

man it is a good deall.. over all..

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

Ive had my eye on selling cars. But I kinda want to continue fixing them and selling them. But Im sure Ill get sick of it.

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

UPDATE:
Finished most of the car today. I started it up and it ran first try, with the exception of dying because I didnt have the MAF plugged in. but ran smooth after that! Only a few things left to do like Bleed the clutch, Put the tires on, fix a couple tiny leaks, get a new BOV(stock 2G one) I believe that is it. So Im thinkin by tomorrow she will be on the road!

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

That's good news. It's nice that it fired up right away.

Any pics?

Re: Check Out My New Project...
 

cool, u get the title yet?
