FS: ’91 Eagle Talon TSI - $4500
Hello,
I own a ’91 Eagle Talon TSI and I decided I want to sell it. Here’s the catch; the car is burning oil. I have to drop it off at MAP on 9/11 so they can figure out what’s wrong with it before I can officially put it up for sale, but as for now I’m seeing if anyone is even interested in this car. I bought this car a while back from Aaron Boodram, he’s better known as “Big Brown” in this forum so maybe he can verify this story. His screen name is turbotalon1g. I still have his email messages when I first bought the car, along with all the receipts/history of the car. I have kept my receipts as well. When I bought this car from Aaron he had just dropped a ton of money into it, new PTE Turbo, overhauled tranny, built 2.4l G4CS, ect. The car had like 145,XXX or 150,XXX miles on the body with a new turbo, rebuilt tranny, G4CS ect. Right now as it sits, it has 163,XXX miles. All I did basically was do basic upkeep and tie up odds and ends. Not to mention get into a few accidents, lol. I also put in a new V44 wastegate, rebuilt calipers all around, new drilled/slotted rotors all around, new K&N air filter, new yellow top battery, new Moroso battery box, and other things. I got the car dyno’ed tuned one time at LSE when they were still open. It made 288awhp on a Dyno Dynamics dyno but who knows what kind of shape it’s in now. I will have to see what MAP says after they diagnose the problem first. This is the mod list that Aaron sent me a while back. I have updated it with the things I’ve done to the car. 2.4L G4CS Block Wiseco 9.0:1 Pistons Eagle Rods 1mm oversize Ferrea valves 2G Exhaust Manifold, ported/polished, ceramic thermal barrier coated PTE bolt on SCM4431 3” Exhaust with stock appearing dual tips Tial V44 wastegate, dump externally Prothane Motor Mount 2G Dejon Intake pipe with 2G MAFT Spearco 221 front mount with 2.5” IC piping Greddy Type S BOV SAFC2 ACT 2600 Lightened OEM flywheel Braided SS clutch line SpeedDesign 4 spider gear center diff Double synchro 2nd gear Walbro 255hp Braided Stainless Steel lines from tank through system Polished fuel rail w/ welded AN hardware Holley 683cc/min SX adjustable fuel pressure regulator Billet polished K&N cleanable fuel filter B&M oil cooler w/factory thermostat oil filter housing w/braided SS plumbing Suspension Tech. rear sway bar 4 bolt rear 2 piston “big brakes” up front Braided SS brake lines Slotted/drilled rotors H&R progressive rate springs Digital A/F gauge Greddy EGT gauge Autometer boost and oil pressure gauges Digital fuel pressure gauge Dejon racing rear bumper Moroso Battery box Optima Yellow Top Battery Now for some pics. The newest pics I took today with my crappy phone.

I'm also open to trades. Maybe for a 4G Mirage sedan? I doubt anyone has a 4G Mirage Sedan besides Mark on here but it's worth a try.

Re: Gauging Interest – ’91 Eagle Talon TSI
Why wait till the 11th, there are other shops that could probably get you in sooner. Maybe someone on here could even diagnose the problem. What color smoke, does it always smoke or just under deceleration? How much oil are you going through and over what time frame? Give us a little more info.. Might be something as little as valve stem seals

I would rather get a reputable shop to diagnose the problem and have their word to back me up on what is wrong with the car. That way when I sell the car the buyer can rest assured that I'm not just talking out my ass sort on what is wrong, lol. It's not that I have to wait for them, it's kindof the other way around. They have to wait for me because I can't get a ride until the 11th. I mean I have to drop my car off at their shop and have someone bring me back home. The 11th is the only time I can get a ride. |
Re: Gauging Interest – ’91 Eagle Talon TSI
Why not just sell it as is. The car runs so someone would have to come out and look at it and make their own judgement. Just tell that that this is what it does, you clearly are not sure what it is and that they can figure it out? you're going to end up spending money at a shop (not trying to get you to not go to MAP) just to tell someone else whats wrong with it?? then they are gonna low ball you anyway. If you do take it to the shop you may as well get it fixed so you can get more money out of it..

I would buy it as is. But I dont have money for another car at the moment. the only thing I could offer would be my 96 jeep cherokee and I doubt you would want that.

Re: Gauging Interest – ’91 Eagle Talon TSI

I'm going to sell the car as is. I will include the BBS RS-II gold rims with the car. Right now the car sits on the 2G rims. You can also have a bare 4g63 block and crank (cylinders are kindof rusty BTW), 9.0:1 JE pistons, 1G rods with ARP rod bolts (one of them spun a rod bearing), and some other stuff if I can find it. I kindof want to get out of the DSM scene for a while and just focus on life with a a reliable car, lol. PM me with any offers. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c7...ictures038.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c7...D/MVC-094S.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c7...D/MVC-093S.jpg |
Re: Gauging Interest – ’91 Eagle Talon TSI
Since there is no starting price stated by the seller yet I will start the bid at $50

Re: Gauging Interest – ’91 Eagle Talon TSI
Post an asking price or this thread will be deleted. Its either for sale or it isn't. If you want to play the bidding game take it to eBay.
