91 talon tsi awd

After selling the evo, I got the itch for another mitsubishi. So I picked up a 91 tsi awd from a buddie for a great deal. My plans for it are not quite decided yet but I would like to run 11's with it this summer at maps proving grounds. I will be posting pics once I get some decent ones. Its the two tone dark blue color. I got this for $750


Here is a list of the mods it came with
dsm link v2.5
aeromotive fpr
cams? I think 264 272.
mishimoto radiator
plx wideband
autometer boost gauge
evo 8 fmic with hard piping
fic 650cc injectors
agx struts with stock springs.
southbend clutch
I think thats it but I may be forgetting a few things.

The car runs and drives right now but I believe it has a boost leak or something cause the idle is a little goofy. The clutch peddle needs to be adjusted to my liking and the shifter is really sticky right now. It did sit for 2 years or so. The body of the car is decent, dent on passenger rear 1/4 and the roof has a dent in it along with faded pain. Im really excited to be back in a mitsubishi. Its been to long (3 months). I would like to make this a good project thread, Im ready to learn more about dsm's since Ive really only owned an evo.

Right now it just has a stock 14b. I was maybe thinking of getting a hx40 or something around that size.

Re: 91 talon tsi awd

It also came with a spare transmission with a broken 3rd gear shift fork and another 6 bolt shortblock. I'm going to be calling shep soon and seeing about getting the spare trans rebuilt. I keep finding more and more stuff in this car. It has some arp headstuds and not sure what tbe is on it but it seems like a nice one. Maybe dejon powerhouse? Once it warms up a little I plan on looking a lot closer at everything done to it.

Re: 91 talon tsi awd

Drove the car around the block a couple times today. Feels like it has a boost leak, and not having a heated garage makes me not want to touch it till it gets warmer.

I got this from a buddie who had it parked for a little over 2 years. It took awhile to even get it from him.

Still a nice pickup. The parts you listed alone are worth it.
