White Talon TSi AWD
I have seen this car before, more on the internet than anywhere else, but I see this car all the time. Does it belong to anyone on this board?

It does belong to a member here but he doesn't visit that often and I can't remember his name. He's a member of Xrated as well.

Nick Vasro of Eagan - the cars for sale for $12,000

He's spent to much fixing the thing and not enough time driving it in the year he's owned it.

I can't blame him $7,000 since purchase and probably about 1500 miles of driving. most of which was problematic.

Problems
-Wireing Harness
-Tranny
-SFP Manifold kept cracking so he had to buy a new one.
-Timing Belt needed to be adjusted.
-lifters
-Alternator

and I'm sure a few other things I'm forgetting.

that was jihan's talon tsi, aka KrazyKrorean on dsmtuners.com. the current owner is nick vashnu. Nick baught this car from jihan last year from arizona.

Honestly if I had money I'd buy this car. It's extremely clean with a Ton of Mods on it. And for $12,000 it's a really good deal IMO.

I'd like to hear that Jenny wants this car. But she hasn't said anything yet about it.

We are looking to sell the Concorde here come fall and I'd love to exchange it for this car. But it's all up to her. I know she really wants a convertable or an Audi though.

But for me I'd be :drool: if we had this car parked next to mine in the garage (and not broke.. I know you smart ass's were probably thinking that) and Jenny and I would be out cruising :3gears: is all I can say.

Yeah, I first saw it was KrazyKorean's because I had that pic of it driving saved on my computer from last year. Definitely nice, I would buy it right now, but I am looking at some dsm's out east.

I wouldn't go near that car. QPR had to rewire the whole damn car because it was so fucked up from the previous owners installs.

SlowWhite · 07-21-2004

I thought they just replaced the Engine Bay wiring harness - since the last one was hacked so much?

Will the guys from QPR elaborate on what all work was done on it?

AJ · 07-21-2004

The entire engine harness was redone, everything in the Alarm and alot of other hacked stuff under the dash was redone by Eric as well. The car had everything from tied up wires with duct tape to just cut and left wires all over. Nick didn't get the car with the best electrical situation, that's for sure.

SlowWhite · 07-21-2004

But is it all fixed now?

**Halon** · 07-21-2004

Doesn't SFP have a lifetime warantee on their manifolds? I'm pretty sure they do so he shouldn't have had to purchase a new one.

who ever owned the car before nick, or did previous work or whatever...
BIGGEST HACK!..omg that thing had so many electrical problems, I went over the entire harness..twice..and still missed one that nick had to come back for (the only thing I knew nothing about, alarm, was also shorting and I couldn't find it, lucky eric, lightening gsx did, and found the problem and went over the harness with me again). Nearly every wire in the car had been taped into for something at some point in time, misc power wires were strewn everwhere..it was a disaster. He has had problems with the clutch when he first bought it, nothing but troubles.
I feel really bad because nick is an awesome guy, and very patient, its just sad that he had to fork over so much repair work after he bought a 'turn key' car, he really hasn't had much time to enjoy it. Now he is afraid of it, and never has had a chance to enjoy it. All in all its a solid ride with is only draw back being a 7 bolt, once the current drivetrain issue gets resolved.
