I bought this car about 3 years ago, it was 100% stock and I've put a lot of parts on this car I've always wanted on my past DSMs, but could never afford.

*The car made 209awhp @15psi at DBPerformance on their Dyno Dynamics AWD Dyno. Stock makes about 140-150 awhp on the same dyno and runs low 15s in the 1320. I've added about 60awhp with exhaust, fmic, and boost controller.

The only time at the track, car has ran a best of 13.6 @ 100mph when it only had an airfilter, manual boost controller, and exhaust!

6/17/08 I weighed the car on a scale, without driver a little over 3/4 tank of gas (10 gallons) it read 3,020lbs. I looked up weight of gas, roughly 6lbs per gallon. So, with a full tank I'm looking at 3030lbs full, and 2960 empty.

Haver I ever told you that your car turns me on? It really does... Anyways is a 1992 talon TSI with 120k selling for 1,000 a good deal? To be honest I really do like the Talon aggressive look but reason why I wanna buy this in particular is because I need a 6b 4G63T for 2G GSX (i miss driving her). I hate to tear the talon apart... but I have too. One day I'll have a Talon to cherish.
