Okay, I don't want to do this I really don't. But I figure if someone came up with the right amount of money I'd consider letting her go. I spent 5 months this winter getting the car ready for the summer. Just to drive it 950km's before the newly rebuilt and ported Big 16g decided to die (due to oil supply)

I have put my blood sweat and tears into this thing over the past 3 years, building it from nothing to, in my opinion, one of the nicest 92-94 talon's out there. The car has rims and tires worth roughly $2500.00, is lowered with AGX's in the back and GR2's in the front. Too many mods to list, most of which are in my sig anyways.

The body was done last summer, it was stored all winter long and is still just as mint the day it came out of the spray booth. Not a spec of rust on her. The inside is good, it needs a few panels (mainly in the back) put back on. Comes with a Sparco blue racing seat. Just bought $280.00 worth of gauges the day before the turbo died (Boost, Oil and Water temp, chrome look until you turn the car on and then lights up, almost digital looking)

It hurts me to even post this, but looking at my line of credit, it would be a good idea to just sell it, cry and move on. This car is worth way more to me then anyone here will offer, but maybe if we can meet somewhere close then I'll let her go. To give you a quick idea what I've spent in just the past 2 years, $3500.00 on the body and paint. $2000.00 on rims and tires. Roughly $3400.00 this winter on the rebuild, 16g, new injectors and pump, act 2100, pistons, bearings, timing belt, water pump, arp hardware, block bored 40 over, head rebuilt with new valves, brand new rad. All the parts just mentioned have 950km's on them, thats it.

No I'm not interested in parting it out, the car just needs a new oil supply line and either have the turbo rebuilt or replaced. Just to clarify, the engine is barely broken in, I haven't gone above 3500 rpm's or boosted past 5psi frown

Included in this deal is a whole crap load of spare parts, including, 450 injectors, 2 transfer cases, 2 heads complete, a block, many sensors. Put it this way, it fills a 4'x4' skid about 3 feet tall, its kind of like a dsm mystery skid lol.

If I don't get any reasonable offers on it, she's getting stored for the winter and I'll work on it next year. It's just as I'm getting older I find I have less and less time to work on the car. I haven't run it down the track in a few years but my guestimate would be that its capable of high 12's.

Any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Yes the car runs, except the fact that the turbo is blown.
