1993 Eagle Talon TSI FWD


Car History
My dad and i purchased the car in August of 2002 and it was in pretty bad shape.  Due to house remodeling for loan purposes the car was left alone for around 10-11 months underneath a car cover.  When my eagle was purchased it had oxidized paint all over the hood and it was starting to on the roof and back hatch.  There were several dents in alot of places and things didnt fit right.  The car had 96k miles on it when purchased and has around that number now.  The tranny was bad in the car and the previous owner of it had purchased a used lsd diff and tranny to replace the bad one that wouldnt shift into 3rd.  The previous owner didnt have time to fix up the car so he sold it with the tranny.  The other thing that was wrong mechanically was the timing belt hydrolic tensionerr was shot and it couldnt keep the belt positioned right under 3k rpm so it would make this horrid rattling sound.  The sound would slowly fade when the car was warm though but it wasn't sound regardless.
What We've done
Stipped hood, roof, and back hatch of paint all the way down to the metal to prevent the cracking to come through the new paint.  Blocked out everysingle dent in the car and did the first primer coat in some areas.  Totally stripped the car of lights, bumpers, mirrors, and door handles.  The car will soon be painted after sanding and primering is through.  With the interior my mom stitched up new seat inserts to replace the old ugly ones.  I put a full stereo system in it.  Wired in new guages faces, put in carbon fiber plate in some areas, installed boost, a/f, egt, and oil pressure gauges, detailed the car, installed datalogger, and greddy full auto turbo timer.  Havent done much to the engine besides k&n filter, hacked air box, larger intake, uicp with blo-thru, h-34 bov venting to atmosphere, gmaf30, maft, new plugs, and items yet to be installed but are sitting in my garage are: full timing belt kit, tranny, clutch kit, larger fuel pump, fmic, fuel filter, new hoses, new tires, eibech pro-kit springs, agx shocks, drive axles, hubs/knuckles/bearings, brakes, and full exaust.
