hello every one
I just got me an 1995 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD so I though I may join here and get some info about these motors and about turbo cars as I know nothing about turbos.
the car have a few problems, and I'm going to need some help.
I live in Fridley MN. :)

Welcome!

Re: whaassssssup
 

Hello, what sort of problems does your car have?

Re: whaassssssup
 

AC clutch pulley
valve cover gasket

and I just read the CrankWalk problem on these cars and that get me worried

Re: whaassssssup
 

The valve cover gasket is a cheap and easy fix. Just get the gasket, half-moon, and 4 spark plug donuts from a Mitsu dealership and waalaa, no more leaks. As for the crankwalk, don't worry about it unless you get it. You could also have a shop (LSE) or someone nearby (JET) check your crank-play for you to see if you have signs of a nearing crankwalk fatality or not. If you do an aftermarket clutch, stay away from the ACT 2600 (or any other high preasure preasure plate system) to help prevent it.

i just noticed that little video, thats hilrious

Re: whaassssssup
 

its an auto with over 99K miles on it.

Re: whaassssssup
 

Worrying about crankwalk is like worrying about getting a terminal illness. You can check for it and worry about it but ultimately it does you no good. The best thing you can do is have a plan in place just in case it happens.

Welcome. :)

Re: whaassssssup
 

If its a auto dont worry about it then.

Re: whaassssssup

do you guys meet up somewhere weekly like some other forums "tcstangs, MNAudi, MNCGP"

Re: whaassssssup
 

welcome

Re: whaassssssup
 

Welcome. I'm sure there are alot of meets in this club. I"m just too shy to bring around my gsx. Doesn't even compare to the rest of these guys.

Re: whaassssssup
 

Welcome to the boards!

-Like Tow insurance!!!

Don't worry, they didn't laugh me off the boards when they saw my pile of DSM...

Re: whaassssssup
 

During the summer time, this community meets 2-5 times a week ;).
During the winter, we usually have a meeting at Applebee's.

Re: whaassssssup
 

which Applebee's?

Re: whaassssssup
 

I'm pretty sure no one is gonna care if your car isn't heavily modified or stock for that matter. We all just like to sit back and talk to car people with similiar interests and kick back and BS about whatever. I like to meet new car people, but the worst is when they go there, don't say a thing, and don't even introduce themselves.

Welcome!

Re: whaassssssup
 

Yah. I've met some of the people here. Never gone to one of the meets, but when I still had my car it was probably the slowest DSM on the sight and I still made friends :D
