Some people feel to need to do stupid things with their money, and I guarantee it was unreliable as fuck pushing that much power out of a motor designed for 140 hp unless he rebuilt the entire engine with only the best parts, which you can do to any fucking car with enough money.

I never said I didn't believe you, just that it was pointless to drop that much money on a N/A DSM.

Just because they aren't turbo from the factory doesn't mean they aren't strongly built cars. I think you have the wrong impression on of the 420a. Hahn Racecraft is running 10's on a 420a with a stock head (and that's not gossip, it's on their website) They ARE strongly built cars and I have seen them go for over 250k with proper maintainence. Not everyone is out there for a turbo car. I know when I get my talon done I'll just drive a GS to save the money on gas. They look just as nice and drive the same, just not as much power.

Xavier, I think you should hit that shit up. Try sell your car private party, I'm sure you'll be able to get 4k for it. Are you going to sell the wheels on it or take them off if you get the AWD?

Re: 97 talon TSI AWD!!!!

I have been extremely happy with mine. I just broke 80k on mine today
Since you have a lot of mods on yours, can't you swap them over? Or at least some of them? Good luck on your decision

No, he'll be lucky if he can get even one thing to fit. The 420a and 4g63 are completely different motors.

Re: 97 talon TSI AWD!!!!

I agree with the previous statements. Sell your car privatly and then use the cash to get yourself a nice boosted dsm. Good luck and hopefully we will see your new boosted dsm on here soon.

Re: 97 talon TSI AWD!!!!

I'd get it too. $1800 is a tad low for your car, but I would be very suprised to see you get more than $3000 for it in any decent amount of time. If it were me, I'd just do the trade in. 96 GS's arent exactly in high demand.

And why the fuck do you still have your car again? If someone offered me 13,900 for your car, it would be sold in a heart beat!

Re: 97 talon TSI AWD!!!!

If you trade it, plus cash, then you'll be loosing alot of time and money that you've invested into your car. Like the majority says: sell up privately then go for a Turbo.
