1992 Eagle Talon TSi

This Talon has been my project for the last 5 years now and it is the 2nd DSM that I have owned. It’s main purpose and goal is to be a very fast and streetable car that will blow the doors off just about anything that it comes across on the roads.

I have purposely left the exterior of the car basically stock looking except for the FMIC and the 17 inch rims. Other than that, it is relatively very inconspicuous and keeps a very low profile. The real attention is all under the hood.

The motor has produced 553 WHP @ 28 PSI with E85 on an AWD Mustang Dyno. So far the quickest timeslip has been a 10.676 at a slow 125.4 MPH which is due to destroying 4th gear during that pass. The fastest trap speed to this date has been 136.0 MPH with E85.

The Talon has always been a work in progress project. I learn things week to week with this DSM, and I am always willing to share my experiences with fellow DSM’ers.

[white97dsm]

How the heck are you running DS with those mods???????? Something illegal seems to be goin on here, :)

[MyBoostedGST]

Damnit. Why the hell did another 1g win? I'm starting to think that no-one likes 2g's. Maybe I'll see if I can get this month to just have a slew of nice 2g's enter. Maybe I'll make that my GOAL for the next month. :P

Oh, but congrats on winning. You defenitely deserve it. And thanks for all the info on tuning you have given the board. But the 1g reign will come to an end. ;)

[boostin_20lbs]

Very sweet and clean car! Congrats

[jeffgst]

Thanks for all the votes and the comments. :)

Yeah, that's a funny story all in itself. I pulled up in the car to register it and they asked me if it was stock. I thought they were joking so I just said "yes."

"DS" it is! :D

[diambo4life]

Congrats! :tree:

D_Eclipse9916


^^^^^I dunno if he's won in the past but his car is my new background. I basically gave him a bj via PM I loved his car so much... I nominate D_Eclipse9916! The string of 1g's have all been great rides and I still haven't seen a car of the month that didn't deserve it. Especially this "stock" one:D

[hand1222000]

Congrats!

[jordan080303]

Congrats. Go 1g.

[wr450fyamaha]

I'm starting to think that no-one likes 2g's.


You got it.

[2LiterRiceEater]

jeffgst - hell of a sexy car man.

1G FTMFW :D

[reddsmhatch]

Delish

[turbotalon1g]

Nice, i didn't konw u got rid of the PS, i might have to do that. i hate it.

[anonymity]

monay!!

[diambo4life]

Nice, i didn't konw u got rid of the PS, i might have to do that. i hate it.

I wouldn't if I were you. ;)

[jeffgst]

Nice, i didn't konw u got rid of the PS, i might have to do that. i hate it.
Yes, trust me, you will hate it even more once you don't have it. At first, I thought it was a great upgrade, since I didn't have to worry about it leaking on my alternator.

Then after a couple years of not having PS, you will wish you never got rid of it. I think it is worse in my situation because I also have a welded center diff, and the car hates to turn. I still drive her at least 5 days a week to work.

The REAL 10 second grocery getter.:D

[diambo4life]

Now this puts a LOT of pressure on the next 1G that enters. It must win or face rebuke and scorn for breaking the 2G ass kicking streak. :happy:

[Asmodeus]

That car is rediculously clean.

I see you made your way over from link forums finally.

[MyBoostedGST]

Now this puts a LOT of pressure on the next 1G that enters. It must win or face rebuke and scorn for breaking the 2G ass kicking streak. :happy:

Like I said, I'm going on a recruiting mission to get every nice 2g that I know of entered in. The time has come for the 1g to fall. :eek:

[STREETWERKZ]

1gA is better

[jeffgst]

Like I said, I'm going on a recruiting mission to get every nice 2g that I know of entered in. The time has come for the 1g to fall. :eek:

[joebag]

Sweet ride man, Congrats on the win. 1Ga's rock ! Well deserved.

[MyBoostedGST]

Oh of course. As long as you drive a 2g. :P

[jeffgst]

Oh of course. As long as you drive a 2g. :P
I had a 2G also. It was a 1998 Eclipse GST that I bought brand new 10 years ago. I miss it sometimes...:(


















Until I feel the AWD power of my 1G :happy:

[~KiNg MaRtY~]
