New here with 97 Eagle Talon TSi AWD

[capitlj]

Welcome, I think we all like DSMs when they run

[97AWDTSi]

Here she is. Hopefully she runs well after that full rebuild she just got. I didn't cut any corners and took my time and did it right. I will try to get a build thread posted tonight when I have access to all of my pics of my progress over the last 15 months.

looks very clean!

[97AWDTSi]

She will be when I get a hood on and bumper painted. But I think it is the only rust free DSM around here.

Always liked the 2G talons better than the eclipses. Whats with the exhaust tip gettin all trucky?

[97AWDTSi]

The exhaust is (in many people's opinion) one of the best made for these cars. It's the Thermal R&D catback system. The tip is pretty massive, but it is a true 3" system and sounds great.

Nice dsm dude!

[97AWDTSi]

I will be looking to have the bumper and hood painted sometime this winter. I will hit you up 99civic.

Oh that, I think it's cause the downpipe kind of sucks. It didn't fit very well.

Thanks TomTom.

Welcome..Very clean dsm! A solid 2gb TSi always has my attention over an eclipse. BTW you aren't the ONLY one with a rust free dsm around here

Thank you! I agree, 2G Eclipses are just all to common IMO. I might be the only one with a rust free 2G. 1G's don't tend to rust so bad. And I bet I can find some rust on just about any 2G around here. You just gotta know where to look.

Strut towers? Door hinges? Depends where the car came from
