1992 Eagle Talon TSi AWD **SOLD**

I'm sad to have to put this up for sale since I was planning to keep this for myself, but I don't have the time or energy to build another shortblock so it's gotta go.

Clean, rust-free blue with gray chicklets cloth seats, 5-speed, 6/4 combo. All stock except for old school 2.5" pressbent exhaust, HKS TB elbow and air canister. Tires have about 90% tread left, I'm not sure about the brakes and clutch since I bought it this way.

I bought it from the second owner who took the head off and had it rebuilt but never put it back together. It comes with a freshly built head, new Mitsu headgasket and timing belt. The bad part is the rear balance shaft bearing came out and the BS itself bounced around in there and elongated the bearing hole. The bearings have some scoring from metal floating around in there, but the crank doesn't look bad. It might be able to be polished and put some new bearings in, myself, I'd turn or replace the crank, but the pistons, bores and rods are just fine. You could probably plug the BS oil hole by tapping it and putting in a threaded plug ala the way QPR used to do them.

Overall, this is a really nice 1G, it's got the original paint in good condition, the underside is solid with no rust, and the interior is in nicer shape than my GSX. This combined with one of the built shortblocks for sale here would get you a 1really nice platform for big mods for less than $3k. There aren't many clean 1G's left out there anymore.

$1500 or bo.
