For Sale is my baby, a heavily modified naturally aspirated 97 Eagle Talon ESi (420a motor).
This is a great project car/Daily Driver for someone looking to tune a good looking, raw, quick, car that still manages to be good on gas. I am getting rid of this car because not only do I no longer have any time to continue to work on the project end of the car, but also because it seems my family will be expanding again, and it is not looking like a 2 door will work well for my family life.

This car was the 4th ever (verified*) 420a DSM to hit the 14s in the 1/4 while still being naturally aspirated (no turbo/supercharger/nitrous), and this car still is driven on a daily basis (to pick up my kid from daycare, to and from work, to get grocery's etc.) This car is being sold two ways. As is for $4.5K, or $6,000 for car and everything else(while items last). The car has 150k Miles on the block and body and still runs strong, the head only has about ~10k miles on it. I am a rather respected member of DSMTuners and 2GNT if you would like to research the car (Fotowntalon)

The Bad
The body needs some work, a new paint job would make the car look pretty immaculate, but it doesn't look bad how it sits now.
Throw out bearing has been out for a while. What this means is it makes a sound when its cold, until you press the clutch in. It does not harm the transmission, just doesn't sound the greatest until the car is warmed up.
May need a new slave cylinder for the clutch. (just had the master replaced about 2 months ago)
That's it. Car could be driven anywhere without problems, very minimal bad things.
