PLEASE SIGN THE GUESTBOOK! :)
hey everyone...im looking for a 2g leather shift knob...if you have an extra let me know...id like to get one to swap it out with my huge 1g...thanks.

Contents:
page 1: a bit of history and info.
page 2: just some pics.
pafe 3: pics, pics, pics.

This is my 91 talon tsi awd. its my first car...and i love it...im not sure when i wanted to get a dsm....but when i was looking for a car...it was all i wanted...in aug, (i think),i found this one in the paper for $3,000 with about 74,000 miles. it was pretty nice and i got it. almost as soon as i got it i did a timing belt change since this is very important on these cars...and the owner, (original owner i should say,) had it done at 11,000 miles because of a recall...so it was 14,000 miles overdue!!! i was scared that it would snap before it got home...and even then i took it out for a while before i changed it. i was sure not to stress it...though i was still so scared. it took about a week to finish the change, (timing and balance,) but i didnt change the autotensioner, water pump, or any pulleys. but every place i called to have it done said it was gonna cost between $500-$600...i had never even done an oil change before this, so thats why it took so long(about $100 to do it myself). at about 75,000 i switched to mobil 1 engine oil, and i didnt flush it out fist because it was so clean, (for which i might still pay). in nov. i took it into a ditch...a huge ditch...like 9 foot deep...or more...

had to get a tow truck to pull me out...that cost 100 somthing...then the driver side spindle was bent...about 90 for the spindle...and then i had to pay for it to be replaced by a pro since the old one was so stuck...also had to change the struts...body damage: diver side door and rear 1/4 panel...(now fixed...and im happy with the results...)...heres a pic: theditchmagnet's 1991 Eagle Talon
also the driver side bumper was pushed in...which i still have to fix. the door and behind it cost $500 to fix. what do you think? pretty good huh?
as for performance upgrades, i put a k&n in it...removed the air can...removed the silencer and lower honeycomb in the MAS...removed the restriction in the BCS, and installed a boost gauge, (which was sent to autometer since it was reading wrong.) right now i really need a new exhaust.
recently i changed my trans fluid, rear diff fluid and transfercase fluid...i also took it in for the transfer case recall. well thats it for now...more later.
you can email me here:

oh, and sorry for the bad pics...and its dirty...tommorrow if it is nice...i will wash it...(since i work at a car wash)...then i will take some good pics! :)

and heres a pic of my dog...(cause she is awsome!)

Wow! I wish that was MY ride! It's a beaut now that you got rid of that dent in the side ;) It'll be even better when you fix that front bumper.
