They did make a TSI that was front wheel drive. To be all wheel drive it had to be a TSI AWD.

I think it was like this:

Talon ES = GS
Talon TSI = GST
Talon TSI AWD = GSX

Yeah, there were 4 versions in '97/'98: DL, ESi, TSi, and TSi AWD.

Should I be scared that you know that much about THOSE cars? That's like:

"Yeah, I used to be an F150 driver until I decided I needed the 8-lug wheels. Then, in '93 they released the shortbed single cab F350 with a diesel, so I traded my 3/4-ton in for that. Want some Cope?"

Silly Fords...

(On peavine Monday) My friend got a little over-zealous in his powerstroke.

is that on titan forums yet?

No...I couldn't get him unstuck :lol: That POS weighs 9,000 lbs, and it's sitting on it's front axle in frozen heavy mud. Another Powerstoroke came along and couldn't get it out either...So a real tow truck is trying to get it right now.

Apparently I *don't* know that much about the cars, since I was wrong in assuming the TSi was only the Eagle version of the GSX, not both the GST and GSX.

Also, I only know only a little about those things mechanically. I know they can be made into beasts, but they're quite finicky. Also, I know that most the people that have them have the crappy N/A FWD cars, yet think they're like 2 times fasterer and like 6 times more furiouserer than Brian Spilner.

+1 for posi

Damn that was funny! They were one of the coolest cars of their time. My buddy Dennis let me drive his, it was the TSI AWD and it was damn fast.

It doesn't matter that you couldn't pull it out, that picture would be a hot commodity to Taylor and the crew down at Nissan. Thats classic Nissan swagger.

Matt's truck has locking diffs (I think) and 4WD (I'm positive).

Correct.

Tim do you have any pictures of my car? I can't get mine off of my camera because I have no computer to upload them too! Unless somebody has Kodak software...

Nope. I don't have Kodak software anymore.

Does this help?

No, I don't have a computer to put the pictures on. My pc at home is broken.

Is it a direct link from Cam to Computer via usb or do you have a flash card in the cam.

I have a card reader at work, and one of the printers has card readers as well.

USB.

If you can bring me the camera, I can get them off for ya. Oh wait, do you have the usb cable that goes with the cam?

I pm'd you sir.

Thats really the only thing I hate about my car... is the crowed that usually follows it.

Don't worry dude, all those people are buying used WRX's.

Ack those guys... it's like they get a turbo/awd car and they think they are unstoppable. :mad:

Heh. Like a friend I had back east.. Rolled his Bugeye WRX in the snow, fries the clutch all the time, hit 3 kids with it, etc..

I'm trying to save that car, really, I am..

And Alex, if you're reading this, I told you not to do that shit, so don't be surprised that I gossip about how you do it anyway - you treat your car like crap, man.

3 kids??? Holy shit.

Yeah, really.

And JC, what's all that? You calling me a tool or saying I'm screwed, or what..?

I know it's a Phillips head, but..

Agh.

Maybe he wants you to use a scredriver to punch holes in your exhaust.

I have better stuff to do it with. ^.^

Maybe I'm just being cranky.. and a girl.

No, I'd hope you wouldn't listen to JC. :P

Don't start with me again, you'll never win. ;)

How about some more pictures guys? Scott, please tell me you've gotten your car back....

'kay. . .

I spent a week over Xmas putting about 1100 miles on the new motor around the Bay Area. Then I dropped it back off at Gruppe-S. All I need are the headers, BigMAF intake, turbo heat shield, and tuning, and it's done!

Depending on shipping for the BigMAF, I may have the car as soon as next weekend. :)

You better post pics.

All my Cars!
 

past and present!

those rims look great

If you're not going up in life, who is?

Doink, what are all the new mods on your car? STI engine, no?

Yeah: 2.5L STI shortblock, ported and polished WRX heads, GT30-10 turbo (a little small for this application... think of it as a stock STI turbo that spools a little faster due to the dual ball bearings), 800cc injectors, TGV deletes, BigMAF short ram intake, Perrin FMIC.

The car should be a beast, even with the undersized turbo. In fact the smaller turbo may be an advantage in autocross, but I'm pretty sure anyone with a GT30-11 or -12, or any of the TD06-20G and FPGreen guys will kill me on track and the 1/4.

That reminds me, I need to call the shop and see how the compression/leakdown tests went.

Should have went Gt35 with nitrous... :p


JK, that sounds like a sweet setup.

Even though I know you're kidding: Both the GT35 and the nitrous would be counter-productive on a car that's still autocrossed regularly... too much lag on that turbo, and nitrous is illegal in all SCCA classes.

But a rotated GT35R + N2O would be one hell of a drag setup. There's a couple of drag-tards over on I-Club working along those lines.

What does rotated mean?

Rotated means it isn't a 'bolt on' and is rotated a bit from the normal mounting points. As far as I know, the only way to fit a GT35 into a Subaru is by rotating it. It won't fit in a 'bolt on' application

That's wild.

no, it's from da streets.

Thanks Khail.

Much Better!

Nice. I like that.

Yah, it's definately a step in the right direction. The sidemarkers need to be smoked or somthing now.

Yeah. Ever think of a BIG 16g or a 18g? BIG 16gs spool at like 3200rpm and can make up to 350+awhp. Im sure that with your 2.5l engine, itll spool in the sub 3ks.

No sweat, they look great!
