Hey all, firstly I will state that I know how impossible it is to sell a DSM in this day and age, Ive tried before and it always seems to end up in a partout, and this one may as well. I figure I will try and sell it as a whole first. The car is Burgundy with everyones fave red interior. The car is 99% rust free ( One fender is juuuust starting to bubble) The car has served me extremely well and I am only selling it because I got a new job and need something more geared to commuting to Toronto every morning.

All that being said the car does have some issues, and will be sold AS-IS.

Whats good/replaced recently:
- 6 bolt / 4 bolt combo
- Solid Engine / Tranny (one of the best 1g tranny's I have ever driven)
- 16g turbo, with 2g manifold and o2 housing
- Body is 8/10
- New fuel sending unit and walbro 190 pump
- New-ish Alternator
- Synthetic fluids and Mitsu filters since I took ownership
- Upper IC Piping w. MAF-T and a MBC with Automete gauge
- New OEM Slave cylinder

What it will need:
-Power steering leaks from the top banjo bolt, so I cut the belt and have been enjoying that since early this summer
- Car has weak-ass heat, the blower motor works, I replaced the heater core itself but it never really worked 100% (only the defrost seemed to work), not a safety issue but an issue nonetheless.
- A/C is gone
- Clutch will need replacing at some time, I have been driving it as is for some time, I just dont rip on it ever. It will slip in 4th or 5th gear above 4000rpms boosting.
- Mild downpipe leaks (should be a real easy fix)

Note: I have all the necessary parts to fix the clutch, and will include them with any sale... (ACT 2100 w. 10k light mileage, no racing. New OEM TOB, and a used 6 bolt Flywheel)

Sorry for the length but I am trying to cover all the bases, I am not expecting much and would like to sell this car quickly, or decide its unsaleable and will part it out in a week or two.

Asking Price: $1,300

Pics to come after the storm

Do you have any interior and engine bay pics?, mileage on the body?, what is needed for safety?

I cant believe i forgot the mileage... 202,xxx...

As far as safety, PS forsure, tires and front brakes would come down to measurements, possibly depending on the tech the exhaust leak...

When it was safetied in May 08 I was under the car and watchin and talking to the mechanic and he said everything was very tight, no axles should be torn etc...

Was the engine replaced? Or just running well?

looks like a good deal for someone.

Just running well, it has a bit of warm-up lifter tick, compression was good last I checked ~145psi across give or take a few, no reason to think it has changed since...

Pmed you on this. and just another quick question what kind of Maf on it se it has a Maf-T on it. PM or email your Phone # I will call. Thanks

3" GM MAF and MAF-T v. 2.02 or whatever they call the 2nd version of the MAF-T

edit, a few people have asked for engine and interior shots I will post them up shortly.

Picture of the clutch setup which I will include with any purchase of the whole car.

I should have included this in my original post, I am not allowing anyone to test drive this car on the street... We can certainly go for as long a drive as you like, but I will be driving the car. Simply put I don't trust anyone to drive this car without the power steering, last thing I need is someone to come here test drive it & be uncomfortable with it and smash it up. If this is a problem TOO BAD.

All that being said I don't have anything to hide and have been straight forward as I can, its purely a liability issue, this is actually a pretty hard car to drive, and at minimum takes some getting used to.

Note: This car is driven everyday and is completely plated / insured by myself, so in case anyone thinks thats the reason, its not.

I will take this car, sent you a PM.

HAHA... well that's one way to get the transfer case you were looking for.

Fine, send me a cheque, I will mail you the car... But seriously your location is so far, whats you're plan?

I'll pick it up if you want!! haha... my friend is driving to Ontario this weekend.

Man, my dream talon. Don't suppose you would want a civic to comute back and forth? it would be safetied and etested.

I miss my burgandy and red car.

PM me the details of this civic, cant promise you anything, but I am lookin at similar (slightly nicer) vehicles to replace this Talon, ya never know.

Pm sent. As for nicer. Well Talons are about as nice as cars got to my concern. Al I can say is blue book value(whatever the used car package says) of the civic is still like 3600. Where as my last talon awhile ago was only 800 =[

The only thing about the civic I like its it starts everytime and is cheap on gas.

Same as the last 6 cars i bought up there, email deposit, fly up,If lucky buyer picks me up, Pay balance hang for a day or 2, drive home, simple!
This would make the 95th car I have owned 6 from ON 8 NS and 9-10 from NB rest local. Last year 97 BMW 328is and 2000 Saab 9-5 From GTA. Its also about the adventure, in 05 I brought back my current talon bought with a burt exh valve, drove to the falls for 3 days then back to pei, a little slow a couple of minor problems but no big. Just some history. I have cash relyed on the pics your disc, wanted to ask if it was good underneath and pick it up.If you don't want to sell to me just say so.

I dont want to sell you the car

If we didn't have soo many cars on the driveway, I would have bought this by now.

Somebody buy it asap before I make room on my driveway by tomorrow.

Thank You! Hope your sale goes well

If I still had my job I woulda pick this up. Its a nice car Nigel =] Wish I had a lower k car for you =]

buy it and store it at my place / let me drive it in the winter

OK, so I have had a couple $1000 offers and maybe I should have accepted them.
I will take $1000 now, and thats firm. If you offer 800, 900, 999.99 I won't deal. Car is still driven everyday, and I will start parting it out this weekend if noone takes advantage of this deal.

I cant believe no-one has snatched this up....would you consider delivering it to Niagara Falls??

I've been in this car and seen how clean it is.

All I can say is DAM your all fools. If I had space this car would be mine in a heart beat. This is by far one of the cleanest 1g body I've seen.

Good luck Nigel

Steve

Not out of the question

I'll come take it tonight 100%, if Zig hasn't beat me to it.

Damn...I was hoping Nigel would deliver....so I don't think I have beaten you to it...

I was a little concerned with driving it without the PS pump working but with the PS rack still in...so was hoping Nigel would deliver for that reason..

Well, Nigel, looks like you have your choice of buyers now...
(but keep in mind Reza already HAS a 1g.... )

Looks like the car has a buyer, they are scheduled to pick the car up this evening, I will update tonight.

I sure hope this is going to Reza...

SOLD!

Thanks for the interest all

One beautiful car, and it perfectly suits my wife. She loves it!

Body and paint in great condition as mentioned. Virtually no rust at all as its obviously been rust proofed a few times, except for the little tiny bubble that was mentioned. Car looks way better in person.

Compression is good, drivetrain and tranny is in EXCELLENT shape.

I've looked over everything, and all it needs is a new clutch (that was supplied), a new t-case seal/yoke, and t belt tensioner.

What a STEAL! thanks Nigel!

Great looking car, enjoy it!

In the second pic your's looks like its staring it down because its wondering what just happened and wants back in its garage!

The colour is perfect for a girl too. So will that car be running 11s on a 16G soon or what?!

Well, I'm glad it went to a good home..That WAS a steal...I have no idea why this was not jumped all over??

Anyways, I second Brandon's question....I think this one already has a 16g doesn't it?

Is your wife going to line up beside you at the track now??

11's easily , already has a small 16g on it. Most likely it will just get a fmic, some fuel, and make it run mid 12's on pump without meth.

Plans for now is to just fix up the t-case leak, clutch, remove balance shafts, and let her enjoy it. These are all easy fixes that I'll get to soon.

Ziggy, I'm also surprised that no one else bought this. I seen a few guys looking for good 1g DSM's, and I really think this is the best it gets for the price! I told Nigel yesterday I was willing to pay his original asking price for the car even after he posted $1000. Whoever didn't take this while they had the chance and low balled, too bad

Even the body is well worthy of a paint job if you didn't like the colour.
