Here’s a good tip for tires: If you wanna know how old they are look at the DOT number. Usually only one side of the tire has it but at the very end of the DOT number there will be 4 numbers in their own separate area. They stand for the week and year the tire was made. An example would be [4221]. That means that the tire was manufactured on the 42nd week of 2021. Hope this helps!
As a car salesman it may just sound better to say that there is a ****ton of thread left insteaf of saying that the tyres are too old and can not be used anymore safely.. xD
@@SuperHessu555 That’s true but seeing the date codes would be good if you’re buying an older used car. If the tires are old enough, they could be dangerous due to dry rotting and cracking. I work at a dealer and I’ve seen it a few times where we had to recommend tires because they weren’t safe to drive on due to their age. It doesn’t happen often though
I had this exact car! I loved it soooo much. I bought it used in '93, same colors and non-turbo. The paint fading and black roof fading are common. When I bought it, for $11K out the door with a bank check, I put in new brakes and stick, and never had to replace them for over 10 years. seriously I loved the car. Then one day on the freeway near LA, it lost first gear, next it was eating oil..... my mechanic rec I sell it cheap, like $500. He said I'd be saving that amt every 6 months in repairs. umm... BEST CAR I ever had, cried when I sold it, it could beat any car uphill, braked solid and no shifting, grabbed the road, shifted easily, ran on fumes [great gas mileage, hatch back could pack an apt. and I even camped in it. Thanks for posting this @flyingwheels !
Awesome man! I just picked up a 92 Talon FWD Auto that only has 70K miles on it that sat in a garage for 10 years, similar to me I always wanted a Talon in highschool and couldn't pass up on it either. However I'm in the process of converting it to a TSI and running a brand new 16G on it, so it wont be NA for much longer lol It'll only be running 10-12 psi and it'll only see summer action.
Back in the day I was tossed up between a TSI and a eclipse GSX, wound up buying the GSX and doing a full build on it, that was the best car I ever owned and i regret selling it every day of my life, you got a amazing find my friend, these cars in factory condition are extinct now days, I will always be DSM for life!
Seen this car in the background of other videos. I had a '90 TSI AWD, fun but always had issues, that being said I didn't buy it until it was 8 years old with 70k.
This was my first car. I got it the summer of 1989. Hearing it run and seeing the interior brought back so many memories. Hopefully I find one for sale near me one day. Thanks for posting this.
Growing up in the 90s my dad bought new a 90 eagle talon TSI awd black with gray bottom cloth interior. I remember he had clear coat issues on it and had it repainted under warranty. He had the car for 3 years and traded in 1993 for a 1991 Red Dodge Stealth TT with black leather.
Blast from my past. Owned two TSi awd Talons in late 90s.. Red 1992 and white 1990. Still have the timing belt adjusting tool in my garage tool box. I'm sure many remember how much those engines loved eating timing belts.
This is how I have got so many cars on and off over the years. I bought an Eclipse non turbo while at Wyotech and we drove that thing for 2 years lol fun car. Think I paid $260. Sometimes you have the most fun with the cheapest vehicles. Awesome story Craig
I had a black 90 Eclipse GSX. Fun cool car. Loved the pistol grip shifter. Also had a '95 GSX and a '00 GT. I have an Evo now, lightly modded at 350 bhp. I can't believe what clean Evos like mine are going for now. More than I paid for it new
Used to have one identical to this one except it was Green, never had a car lot, but used to flip bout half dozen or more vehicles a month , i so miss them days
GVR4 owner here, I started with a 2G GST and it gave me the experience I needed to begin my career working on cars. Very nice car! Every time I see a 4g63 I feel at home. Wish I could get a stock 2g GSX
Popup headlights are not banned, nor where they ever banned. The pedestrian safety rules that made all cars a bit taller and flatter in the front is what made them go away (as well as style changes). My old roommate had an Eclipse GSX and I had a van. He would often use my van and I would drive the Eclipse, it was a really fun car.
Love those 80-90s cars. My 89 Maxima had the same automatic seat belts, power everything and even a HUD. Took it to PA one year while I was going to college and salt put a hole in the gas tank. I ended up donating it to a charity. I did most repairs since I was 16 but a gas tank replacement at that time was not even an option. I wish I had kept it. Good memories.
My son is just a little older than you, while he loved my 87 Pontiac STE because of all the lights, we bought an 84 T/A (T-Tops and Eagle) for his senior HS year and college. Upon college graduation he sold the T/A and bought the all wheel drive turbo talon, stick. It's a small world.
Amazing🙂 that was my 1st car when i was 16..it was dark purple and standard trans..i love talons.. 👍😁👍 i havnt actually seen one on the road in probably 10yrs.. i use to beat mustangs an cameros with my stick talon.. it is such ah trip down memory lane seeing those seat belts,and the interior.. mine had ah sun roof..damn i LOVE THESE CARS..(iv always wanted to get another some day..hopefully soon
5/12/24 I purchased mine new in 1990 a base Model black cherry front wheel drive, now with only 18,750 miles in 2024. The flip headlights have a Manuel twist knob near the headlight if it didn't open. Mine being the base model was minus a few things from the mid to AWD versions. Mine has roll up windows, power rev mirrors, no air conditioning, 5 speed manual, no fog lights, no rear window wiper, am/fm radio, my lower body looks like your red one, other models have a grey different molding. My tires are new but the rims are original. The gas mileage is about 27-28 mpg , not 40mpg. For a 34 year old car it is in great shape and runs great.
I've had over a dozen 1g turbo DSM's, I usually buy them broken but every so often I buy a runner. I've been building them for about 13 years and currently only have my low mile bolt on 98 GSX but one is plenty. These are great cars for cheap power in the turbo configuration! The 2g 95-99 was the one that has the shock tower rust problems, the 1g's typically only rust on the rockers starting at the back wheel and continuing forward, the 2g's also suffer from this problem.
Just got one today!! Amazing car, it’s been my dream car too. My grandpa bought one for my oldest brother, then my middle brother and it was supposed to be mine too but it got scraped for parts from my other brother… But finally I got one, runs a little poppy but man this car pulls hard and turns heads for sure. Shootouts to all the Eagle Talon owners out there throwing it down for the 1g dsm’s! Even the 2g dsm owners!
Those asymmetrical center air vents threw me for a loop. I love my '90s fwd Nissan coupes. Miss my '85.5 200SX with the pop ups. Thought these DSMs and the 2nd gen Eclipse were the coolest things when I arrived from Ireland in '94.
In early '90's I worked at a Dodge / Chrysler / Jeep / Eagle dealership. I had a TSI as a demo. WHOA !!! What a fun car to have in the North Ga. mountain curves~~~!!
@@bodyguard1191 I ended up finding a pristine survivor with 90k. One owner, old man owned, temp controlled garage. All OEM! Engine never out. Runs and drives!
I owned one 1990 talon in black Cherry.. when I was 19.had a boost kit installed for the turbo, gave it 40 more HP. Car was sooo fun. And yes it was a manual
Haven't even heard of? LOL... You know, Craig, some of us are actually OLDER than you. 😉 Made by DSM Motors. They all came out of the same factory. In fact, my local Chrysler dealer had 4 new Lasers that all had Mitsubishi grilles. They told me they couldn't sell them until they got the correct grilles installed. "Mouse belts" came out of the requirement for all vehicles to have "passive restraints". This meant either an airbag or "mouse belts". Mouse belts were cheaper, so some manufacturers went that route. Eventually airbags became required, so mouse belts went away. Love the Berlinetta. It was the only trim available with the "floating" radio. Craig, you and I are why 90's sport compact cars are going WAY up in price.
I remember finding a steal on a full manual steering rack for my 90 TSI, they only came in the base of base model dsm cars at the time... only took me a few months of searching. A little bit of bracket modifications and you can swap it into the higher end models. No power steering, No abs, No air bags, No A/C, 16G turbo on 20 psi.. it rips!
I had the exact car. I’d love to have it back. It was soooo fun to drive. Dad let me pick it out and the dealer said it was a manual and my dad told him I could drive anything. Good times.
I picked up a 95 Taurus SHO this year without the normal northeast weight reduction. Haven't seen one where I live for at least 15 years. Gotta love the cars from our youth!
@@pgtmr2713 You're right. They are only about 200lb different. I drove a buddy's hopped up tsi at the drag strip. That thing was an animal. Didn't last too long though.
I can already imagine the conversations at the gas station 😂 "Nice Eclipse, is it a '94 model?" "Actually its 1990 Eagle Talon" "Oh my god you poor thing, im so sorry"
Hey Craig a close friend has the cleanest and quickest 93 Talon TSI AWD left. He got it back in 94 and had it since. It was modified back in the day but is super clean. I will try and get a video together for you.
This was the model of my 4th car ever. I LOVED the look of it.. and when it ran, it was pretty peppy…but when it came to fixing it or maintaining it- it’s a real damn pain in the butt- and trust me- you’ll be doing a lot of that with this car. A mixture of Chrysler and Mitsubishi, but when you need a part- you’re looking at Mitsubishi for nearly every part and finding those old Mitsubishi parts is a pain in and of itself- especially back then. You’d pay nearly 4 times as much for a part compared to something like a Honda or Toyota. And if you ever get air in the brakes … good luck getting it out!! But it was a cool looking car for a guy in high school. 🤷♂️
When my family lived in New Hampshire and my brother got his license he HAD to have an eclipse/talon. A few of his friends had them. My parents nick named eclipses kid killers, because a few of them died driving them. They’re seriously cool and I bet a blast to drive.
1st Gen DSM is a great car. How long before they start to climb in price?? Finding one unmodified is a gem. Most people - like me - modded the hell out of them. They were a great tuner platform.
That is the 4g63 motor as you know. I've had many of them, but only one talon 4g , couldn't stop that car I mean, what a piece. That specific model was far better than the Honda Acura competition.
I use to upset my friend who had an awd turbo version or the tsi. I'd give him crap and always tell him, "nice Mitsubishi!" Of course, I'd be in my 70 road runner at the time with its 440 cubic inches and air grabber hood. Those were fun days. "It's not a Mitsubishi....it's an Eagle!!!!"
I been waiting for this video, Sad it isn't TSI . I have owned two TSI one auto one manual. So fun to drive, even better if you like working on cars because they always need work. Lol Nice pick. Love the modern classics
I've owned over 20 turbo DSM's, I used to junk the non turbos and automatic turbo tsi/gsx after pulling the motor. If I only known the market was going to get ridiculous I would have held on to all of my DSM's. I used to buy super clean first gen DSM for 2500 to 3500 dollars all day long. My main turbo dsm made almost 700hp back in 2006...... If I only had a crystal ball
Wrong about the flip up headlights. Cars began using composite headlights and for aerodynamic sake the flips became obsolete. Vettes still used flip lights in the 90's.
@@richarda3659 my drivers license says I’m 48 but I’m really about 14-15 in my head. So yeah it was still funny. 😂 especially since I was not expecting it.
I owned a 93 & 94 talon tsi both with engine and body kit upgrades. Best and fastest 7second cars I’ve ever own. I’ve Just never liked the 89-91 with flip up head lights otherwise great dependable cars in my opinion.
Had a 90's Chrysler New Yorker with a Mitsubishi 4 cylinder in 2000. Bought it for next to nothing because it needed paint. Repainted it, detailed it and put it up for sale. The first guy that test drove it walked back to my house saying it died and would not turn over. Drug it back home, dropped the starter and it was okay. My dad said "Put a breaker bar on that crank bolt and see if it is locked up." Come on Dad, no way this thing is locked up------IT WAS LOCKED UP! Turns out that motor had 2 timing chains that were notorious for going bad. Had to buy a motor and pay a guy to put it in. By the time it was done and sold I made exactly $4.22 after painting the whole car, fixing normal small things and that motor replacement. Check those timing chains! If they are original you better replace them! LOL!
1996 Ford F350 Super cab, 4x4, 7.3 diesel, canopy, Arizona truck, white, cloth interior. Good condition no rust or major dents. Needs front tank gas gauge. 280k. Pictures and details coming to your inbox later this week.
That is almost exactly my 2nd car ever. I loved that thing. Until the headlight stopped popping up and the transmission died. I every so often dream of getting another one. But many years ago I got rear ended badly and had I been in that car, I am quite certain I would be dead right now. And yet, I still kinda want one again.
Back in the day I worked in Urgent Care. The local Dodge dealer down the street brought in one of his sales guys who had just wrapped this same new car around a street light pole while testing it out. The dude was ok but was quite ashamed of his little escapade.

I had the exact car in 1990. Purchased right after graduation from U of Toledo
My girlfriend and I had a 97 eagle talon TSI turbo front wheel drive five speed loved loved loved that car
Wrong about the flip up headlights. Cars began using composite headlights and for aerodynamic sake the flips became obsolete. Vettes still used flip lights in the 90's.
Your right, C5 Corvette flip up head lights up until 2004.
“Fart can exhaust” I almost spit out my drink when he said that. 😂
Yeah that was pretty funny when I was 12.
@@richarda3659 my drivers license says I’m 48 but I’m really about 14-15 in my head. So yeah it was still funny. 😂 especially since I was not expecting it.
i know the 80s trans ams you could crank up the headlights manually from under the hood if need be
I owned a 93 & 94 talon tsi both with engine and body kit upgrades. Best and fastest 7second cars I’ve ever own. I’ve Just never liked the 89-91 with flip up head lights otherwise great dependable cars in my opinion.
Cool car - it has so much character !!!
I had a 1990 eclipse looks exactly like that car same interior and engine
I had 3 of them in high school… what a jewel 💎.
I miss my Tsi and Gsx.....
Had a 90's Chrysler New Yorker with a Mitsubishi 4 cylinder in 2000. Bought it for next to nothing because it needed paint. Repainted it, detailed it and put it up for sale. The first guy that test drove it walked back to my house saying it died and would not turn over. Drug it back home, dropped the starter and it was okay. My dad said "Put a breaker bar on that crank bolt and see if it is locked up." Come on Dad, no way this thing is locked up------IT WAS LOCKED UP! Turns out that motor had 2 timing chains that were notorious for going bad. Had to buy a motor and pay a guy to put it in. By the time it was done and sold I made exactly $4.22 after painting the whole car, fixing normal small things and that motor replacement. Check those timing chains! If they are original you better replace them! LOL!
I had a 90 Eclipse GSX AWD. I miss that car.... too bad I didn't see this video sooner. .... I would have bought it.
Never really heard of?? That is an EAGLE TALON!!! Great car and a really nice find.
Was that on cleetus McFarland spectator race?
Yeah, that's a cool car. *Staring at the 1971 Mustang on the trailer the entire time*
VT247
Had a 91 GSX so easy to mod. My first turbo car. So much fun. 4G63 bullet proof engine in the 1st gen ones.
i'm amazed that eagle talon still works.
Why are u amazed?
Wow! Damn lucky bro. Congrats! I have 2. Lol. The best badass cars at the dragstrip bar NONE..👍👍
1996 Ford F350 Super cab, 4x4, 7.3 diesel, canopy, Arizona truck, white, cloth interior. Good condition no rust or major dents. Needs front tank gas gauge. 280k. Pictures and details coming to your inbox later this week.
I used to own a 1994 Eagle Talon (non turbo). Don't judge me i was a broke student at the time! Great car!
Wheels look like OEMs for the AWD versions.... so those aren't FWD only Turbo models? Now all you need is a Stealth TT to go with the Viper.
The power bulge goes back to the Shelby Charger. Looks really mean from the drivers seat.
That is almost exactly my 2nd car ever. I loved that thing. Until the headlight stopped popping up and the transmission died. I every so often dream of getting another one. But many years ago I got rear ended badly and had I been in that car, I am quite certain I would be dead right now. And yet, I still kinda want one again.
Late '60s to early '70s Fords get recommended to me all the time lol
Back in the day I worked in Urgent Care. The local Dodge dealer down the street brought in one of his sales guys who had just wrapped this same new car around a street light pole while testing it out. The dude was ok but was quite ashamed of his little escapade.
My neighbor across the street had one he used to drag race. I was too young to ask what he did to it but it was a rocket. 4wd.
Man I remember seeing videos of TSI's being able to keep up with bikes, man those were the days.
I've owned several 1st and 2nd Gen Dsm cars I Love THEM. I've had 2 Talon Tsi and 2 Gsx. How do I buy this one?
What a gem! 😍
Goodness, mine was the 1990 Plymouth Laser 🚗💨💨💨 Also the the 1989 IROC Z28 😅
I had a 1990 ford thunder bird with the same seatbelts loved the car but grew to hate the seatbelts real fast.
Never heard of ? There's several running around in my town . I had one in 1994 . Money pit .
Craig has like 20 dream cars
You have to save that car it is too nice to let someone destroy it. I had a ET ES in HS as well.
Does 550 sound right to replace 2 outer tire rods and the right struts on a 2005 Mazda 6
Broski I’m a fan! Always liked these! If I can find my old dream car would be amazing 😅 92 mazda 929 😂
