not a fan of the 1g bodys but the engines are no joke.

Never liked the 1Gs to much. Nice because they are lighter and cheaper but the styling I never liked. I am submerging myself in the DSM world more every day. Building a 97 GSX with a buddy right now. I hope to open up a shop in the near future and want to have a good understanding of everything DSM. Any more plans for it?

Pic links arent good. Tried to get them on the original post instead of links.

Sits pretty high for having a Pro Kit installed. I never was a fan of that Gen either, but I'm sure its fun to mess around with, being a turbo AWD.

Thanks for the assist on the pics.

I also had a 95 Eagle Talon Turbo, but it was FWD. In the end I decided to keep the AWD, in my opinion AWD just ownz.

I have preatty much tapped out the current setup; I don't feel like starting new with a new setup, would much rather put a little time and money into my Tibby.

i had a friend wit a 1g and it was wicked...

im not a huge fan either but all i know is those engines are insane...im glad to hear that you want to put some money in the tib

Personally I am a fan of the 1G. Back in college I had a 90 GST, kinda sucked because it couldn't get traction.

The Talon AWD pwned, and though it may be the lesser "sexy" body style that model has the weight to power possabilities to be the dominate model hands down. One of the top 10 cars for extreme speed under $10g's to spend on mods. I think number 1 prefered was the Chrysler Orion?! Retro cars rule.

I love the looks of 80's-early 90's sports cars for some reason. I never was a fan of the tiburon's looks. I mean, just look at the rd1's rear, and the rd2's front. Enough said, right?

However, I took a screaming ride in a 1g Talon TSi. All he had done was a boost controller, but man would that thing plant you in the seat for a stock car. I just wish they handled better. Those things are so damn front-heavy...

Btw, ^ +1 for retro cars! (see sig for details)

I like the lines of the 1st and 2nd gen tiburons, they remind me of my old Conquest TSI - wide body. The Eclipse turbo cars are without a doubt some of the best HP to value cars to be had - especially in AWD.
