WANT: Front Headlamp/TurnSignal COMBOLENS '90Talon - November 11, 2013 08:07 am UTC

I currently am in need-of front-end lights/lens-buckets for my ride. My daily-driver (& former track-car) is my 1990 Eagle Talon TSi-AWD. I've owned this great car for nearly 10years now, & I was sponsored as an amateur for a few years until 2008; with the, "Global Economic Collapse". Myy car's appearance since then, has pretty-much "collapsed", along with the economy! So, I'm looking for a few bits for my old-&-still-gold car!

IF ANYONE HAS:
Front HeadLamp Lens, & Side Turn-Signal/COMBO Lens,
FOR: 1990-to-1993 Eagle Talon (or 1st.Gen DSM),
CONTACT ME: Feel free to Post-Me back, "HERE"
Or E-MAIL me: "KawasakiKaizer@Yahoo.com"

I still get a lot of questions about my car. Mainly they're about what I did with it, what I've done to the car, & what the performance is like on it. That, & most people want to know why part-of the car's front-end.
I'll post a few pics-of my battered-but-still-beautiful-baby as-soon-as I'm able to, along with some performance specifications, & what kind-of numbers it "was" capable-of; when both it, & yours-truly last had it on the track, doing what it was meant to do, & not hauling myself & the weekly shopping!

Look forward to talking with all of you & my thanks to Andrew & the other great guys who admin this great online community for my admission to the community. Thanks again, chaps!
Keep our DSM's alive, everyone! Talk to everyone soon, & Cheers For Now!

Sincerely,
KawasakiKaizer
(1990 Eagle Talon TSi-AWD). (&.....a few bikes)

Start yourself a build thread, and be more specific with your location.
Welcome to the board and looking forward to seeing some pictures.

Is that your real name?

I was just going to ask the same question.

Yeah we use real names around here to avoid scammers and spammers. The first sentence on the registration page says:

What's up with not following that?

I'm confused as to what lenses you need. I have a few sets of 90-91 style, you said 90-93. Those years are not the same.

Re: WANT: Front Headlamp/TurnSignal COMBOLENS '90Talon - November 12, 2013 05:34 am UTC

Thanks for getting back to me, guys!

I have a 1990 Talon TSi-AWD. I am looking for the PASSENGER SIDE Turn-Signal Combo-Lens, the Front Headlamp-Lens for that side.

If you have a full set-of both drivers'-&-passenger-side Front Headlamp-Lens, & Turn-Signal COMBO Lens, I will be more than happy to take them all from you.

If you have the Haynes' Manual for the 1990 Talon TSi-AWD, I can give you page number, & picture-# / caption-# references.
Hope to hear back from you. I get around to posting my car & it's specs sometime before this weekend. Have to find a few pics on the PC first.

I'm really liking the pics of everyone else's cars on here, too...pretty fab!

I am going to assume from him ignoring that, that it is his actual name.

Re: WANT: Front Headlamp/TurnSignal COMBOLENS '90Talon - November 12, 2013 01:21 pm UTC

Pretty ignorant for a newbie since he just ignored the last 4 posts. I suspect he's related to Force Power.

My vote is we ban this tool.

Re: WANT: Front Headlamp/TurnSignal COMBOLENS '90Talon - November 12, 2013 01:40 pm UTC

I am not sure he needs to be "banned", but I think he should be suspended until he corrects his name...and I assume he DID sign up with a proper internet address, not a Hotmail or whatever account?
Posted By: Bryan Lawrence

Re: WANT: Front Headlamp/TurnSignal COMBOLENS '90Talon - November 12, 2013 01:58 pm UTC

Yeah, unless the policy has changed recently it would have to be a proper internet address.
Guess we will wait for him to answer the questions, then this post can be cleaned up

Henry, is his first or last name... I suspect.
Confirmation? Or account lock.

I have a few full sets in good shape. You need to correct your info on here before I will deal with you though.

Re: WANT: Front Headlamp/TurnSignal COMBOLENS '90Talon - November 13, 2013 10:01 pm UTC

I love that pic! Sorry to all... I just updated my profile & details, I should've disabled auto-fill, & looked at what I was doing more carefully. Thought that my signature would've just been; Kaizer Soze, not my name. But it's changed now. Still would like to remain on here as I feel it's important to speak with others about my ride, & others in the community who share the same passion for their DSM's/Mitsubishi's.

I'm surprised someone on here knows-of, ForcePower Motorsports. I know most of those folks at that particular; "Father-&-Son Garage". My car is actually the one that the owner used to own, until 2005, when I purchaed it from him.

He did a lot of the work-on it in the past, but I took over doing it myself; & that's why I joined-up here. Thought that I would ask to join to get ideas from everyone about programming my AEM-EMS; as-well-as looking for bits that I need to repair or replace.
I'd still love to hear back from anyone that has any parts they'd like to sell, & anyone that has any Data-Maps/EMS that they have being used on the AEM-EMS, that is working well for them.

Hi Shawn, thanks for updating your info. No problem remaining on here, welcome aboard wink

Lots of DSMLink experience on here but haven't heard much discussion on EMS for a while.

Good luck!

Welcome. I think you will find EVERYONE on here has "heard of" Force Power, but I don't think you will find anyone who LIKES them. They have ruffled a few feathers here, and generally acted like dicks towards a lot of the guys here....

Hey Shawn, welcome aboard!

I didn't mean anything by the picture. Figured you might be a troll account.

Post up an introduction thread and don't forget to include pictures tu

FORCEPOWER - DICKS...(?) Hahaha! (thats bloody hilarious!)
That counts-as the UNDERSTATEMENT-of-&-for the remainder-of 2013.
I had just about the weirdest experience, ever; regarding ANY vehicles (EVER!) that I've owned, ridden, &/or raced here in Canada.

I got on really-well with the owner (Mark), & on equally good-terms with his son/co-proprietor, Patrick. He (Mark) was born-&-raised in The Midlands
(I actually thought that he was Cornish, but was wrong).
I went to school there (UK) for many many years, like him was a dual citizen. so, naturally, we got on extremely well.
But then (strangely!) for some (obviously) "unknown-reason(s)", he just sort-of, "TURNED" on me. faster than a zombie-bite "turning" someone-on, The Walking Dead"! And, with the ferocity, intensity, & indiscriminate indifference that one would usually expect to see coming from a rabid, starving-dog!

I know that there's ALWAYS TWO sides to every story, but after he let me make payment-instalments (for nearly $6000CDN) to completely rebuild my engine with one-of their "combo-packages), & then install the HUGE # of aftermarket parts I brought to him, he just suddenly, started to treat-me like a dick!
If I didn't get back to ANY e-mail from him about coming in to make a payment within 24hours, he'd threaten to sell my car, & keep all of the money! All this, & I came in every month on time, to give him what I could until 5mos., later, I paid him off & was all finished.

I gave that guy just about $20,000 in business (including buying his car for $5000), over 2.5 years, & he just treated-me like a lump-of sh*t! I was infuriated with his treatment-of me. My common-law partner wanted to shoot the SOB, but I just said to forget-it. So I continued modding my car, & dealing/acquiring sponsorship & further support myself.

Which actually brought-me to join some online sites, including this one here. IM SORRY to everyone here for typing such a long message, but I thought perhaps people didn't really know or understand just what kind-of a man-&-business they could (potentially) be dealing with!
"CAVEAT EMPTOR" !!!!!

Wow nice story.
I still have emails from many years back with a similar attitude. However I still got the occasional greeting at the track the rare times I made it.

Anyways welcome to the community!

Ha, I was right. You are related to Force Power, lol. Interesting story.

Anyways, glad to see a real name Shawn smile

I'm guessing this is the main reason for his change in attitude towards you. I don't especially like this situation, but a fact is a fact. In Canada, auto shops make money in two ways: selling their services AND SELLING PARTS. If you take one of those things away from them, they don't like it. I wish it weren't true, but it is.

Re: WANT: Front Headlamp/TurnSignal COMBOLENS '90Talon - November 14, 2013 08:08 pm UTC

^ and if they even SUSPECTED that any of those parts came from RTM Racing, they would be even MORE pissed off. I have heard that it is forbidden even to speak my name in their shop, like I have been banished or something, LOL....

I am so glad that I found this board.
Right before I joined the board I was talking with ForcePower to have my car shipped to them, can't imagine what I would have gotten into if that had happened.
