Evening folks! So I've been on the hunt for something to go back and fourth to work as it's about 60 miles both ways. Been putting too many miles on the Tacoma and Camry so I've been on the lookout for something cheap, gets decent fuel mileage, and a manual transmission. Thought I was going to get my co-workers Subaru, but that didn't pan out too well. My other coworker's wife has been looking to sell her car. Ironically she is the mother of a high school friend. This car was part of my teenage years, I even helped put the engine in it back in 2006. It's a little rough, has well over 200K, has some "ricer" mods, but shifts, drives, and runs well! Let me introduce you to my '95 Eagle Talon ESi, non turbo, FWD.
It's a little ugly, but cleans up well. It needs rocker repair, but that's par for the course in PA. The interior is very dirty, but not ripped or torn up besides the headliner being ripped out.
Under the hood is the DOHC 2.0 Chrysler unit. It's dirty and has some sort of makeshift cold air intake, but I can clean it up.
It immediately needs a set of tires as the rear tires are date coded 2009 and the fronts 2015. Yes it seems I'm a little crazy for having something this old as a work beater, but the price was right and it runs well. It does have the standard "racecar" stainless exhaust. A little obnoxious, but it's all new so I'll just have to rock it for a while... If it turns out to be a somewhat reliable vehicle it'll most likely get a nice budget paint job. It's a 50 footer right now. Timing belt is new so that's out of the way. The transmission has been replaced (replaced with a more reliable '97 unit) and stage 2 clutch installed, so that is done as well.
