What's up guy's and gal's! I decided to join I.A. finally. I've lived in Georgia all of my life and been a member of several car club's and forums, owned a fair share of import and domestic "sports cars / muscle cars", and figured it was high time I joined up here too. :D

I'm a regular member of GADSM.ORG and help out with Import Showdown every year. Glad to see a bunch of you out there for the last event!

I have a 1991 Eagle Talon TSi AWD that I'm currently in the process of building. So far it's just a cheep fun project car and has ran a respectable 13.7 with minimal work. Well, I should say minimal money and an ass ton of work LOL! I hope to break into the low 13's high 12's by the spring I.S. next year.

I'm sure a few people on here know me but I just wanted to give an official introduction :cheers:

welcome, what all you got planned for the car?

Thanks for the welcome!
As far as plans for the car, it's my fun car, but I'm not going all out with it or anything. I want it to still be streetable. I really just need a S-AFC and wideband and I can get a good tune on it and be happy. I've already done the basic stuff to get it to this point. I don't mind sharing so here goes

1991 TSI AWD
Braided SS clutch line
VDO boost guage
Centerforce D/F 2500 clutch
Swapped the blown motor for a GVR-4 RS motor, all stock internals still. The RS motor has stock 510CC injectors and a B16G turbo
Functioning Cyclone intake runners set to 4K rpm or 13 psi
manual boost controller (18 psi for the 13.7 I ran)
GR-2 shocks to replace the blown factory ones
2G mas
2.5 turbo back that I will most likely up to a 3" soon (built it myself)
PTE front mount with 2.5" piping (made the piping myself)
Walbro 195lph rewired (probably upgrade to a 255 if I plan on running over 25psi)
94 front big brake upgrade from a Diamante
annnnd...that's about all I've done right now. With the exception of all the little things like plug wires and stuff like that.

Once I get the SAFC and wideband I can dyno tune it and try for a better pass at the track.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Yeah, I know where I'd liek for th ecar to be. Getting it there....well...time and money. I've got the time :)

I also need to swap the rear three bolt set up to a four bolt when money allows. Too many drag launches will eventually end the life of the factory three bolt. I plan on finishing up the body work and painting it this summer. It kinda look's like ass in person. Fadded paint, dented fender, hail damage on the roof. But hey, it was $600 for the car, so I can't complain. I already swapped the rear bumper cover and lights to a 1Gb set up and I'm switching to 1Gb side skirts. The pop up's stay though. It's what makes the car IMO. Besides, little kids absolutly FLIP OUT when they see them pop up. It's hilarious!

Right now it’s all go and no show


The bay will get cleaned up some but for now Speed>Beauty


How about daily driver love then? It has a clean engine bay.
I just picked this car up about three months ago for only $2500 bucks. 1995 Subaru Legacy sedan. I have had a deep love for Subaru’s since owning a 02 WRX wagon.

The car only had 106K miles on it and is in amazing shape. Five speed too. Of course, I can’t leave it alone either. I had the axle back stock muffler from my WRX that I modified to fit and modified a used extra air can and K&N from my Talon’s old 1G maf. It’s not fast, just a EJ22 sohc, but it sounds nice now under WOT. I’d like to add some Legacy GT bit’s to make it look sportier. Bigger wheels and tires. Who knows, in a few years maybe drop in a turbo EJ20 or EJ25 and a RS tranny. I love cars
