Hey I'm 17 years old, live in Spokane Wa and drive a 95 mystique. It was cheap and a good first car but I am now looking to but a 1g talon tsi and make it run low 13's but still make it a daily driver. I don't have a butt load of money so I can't do it in a blink of an eye but I do have some cash. When it comes to cars I don't know too much about them but would like to know more. An example would be, why is a 6 bolt engine and 4 bolt rear so good? How is that different from the standard engine and rear?

A 6 bolt block and 4 bolt rear is the best combination that was available during DSM production. There really isn't such a thing as a standard engine and rear as they differ from every manufacturer and engine type (V6, V8, Inline 6, Inline 4, V10....etc..)


How did you come upon DSMStyle.com?

I came upon dsmstyle.com by searching the internet by using eagle talon tsi and google as the search engine. Does anyone know about how much it wold cost to buy a 1g and make it run low 13's maybe high 12's? What does crankwalked mean?

You can pick up a 1g anywhere from $1500 to $4500 and make it run low 13s for under $300....and some people have done it with jut the free mods. My 90'-AWD ran 13.3s with the free mods, fuel pump, K&N Filter, and a manual boost controller.

Do you know anyone with a 1g that is willing to sell thiers for a good deal? I have about $3700 and have a job so I could modify it more as time progesses. Thanks.

Are you willing to have one shipped? Most of us around from the Midwest, so unless you are willing to have a car shipped out to you, we probably can't help out a whole lot. The only thing we could probably do is post up any links we find of cars for sale in your area.

When it comes to DSM's "modify" means "fix." Good luck on the search.

How much do youthink shipping would be? If less than like $400 than sure if the car is good and runing but for a project car I would have to think about it.

From the Midwest out to Washington, I'm guessing roughly $500, but I could be wrong. A buddy of mine had a car shipped from Texas to Iowa and that was about $500.

I am thinking of getting my friend's stock 91 talon with rebuilt heads and I think he said it was bored out 3 something. I was wondering what I should do to it to make it into a very fast dd. Well mainly in the summer or one a nice day. He is selling it for $2000 cause he needs the money. The only thing wrong with it is the tach doesn't work and it has 128K miles on it. If I got that car what would be the best thing to do with it if I had about $2000 plus $400 a month to put into it? Thanks for all the help with the noobie. Also I love watching all the vids of the dsm's smoking all the v8's. My dad loves v8's and hates all 4 cylinders. I love 1g talons.

I'm assuming that your friend's Talon is a TSi. You should get us all the details about the car so that we can help you out as much as possible. You definitely want to get copies of the all the receipts for the work the car has had. Before you worry about modifying the car, you will definitely want to go through the entire maintenance routine: plugs, wires, change all fluids, change all belts, replace all filters, etc. We can help you through the process of picking out what brands and specifications of the parts you will need.

What year talon has pop up head lights?

I believe the years with the popup headlights were the '90 and '91.

Do you guys shop online for parts? And if so, where? I checked out www.horsepowerhq.com andthey were some what expensive.

What are you specifically looking for? There are endless sites out there where you can purchase "parts."

Just about everything starting from an engine to whatever.

Start out with Elite Autosport, Quick Precision Racing, and Straightline Specialties since they are all three supporters of DSMStyle.com.

Hey there noobie, I have a 1993 plymouth laser rs awd turbo 5-spd. I only paid 400 bucks for it so if you keep looking you will find a better deal. Mine needs a tranny because first is shot and it pops out of reverse from time to time. but i figure by time im done i will have a 2000 dollar dsm with only 98000 miles.
