center hub caps are what is missing from the wheels as well as locks or nutcaps!

[@justhimo2728]

if you want remove the hard stains go away you must use 2 things 7up and milk 😹 yeah some people maybe will laugh on me but it's working I use it before on the clothes yep it's work mix them together and use your own brush and you will see a different change , I wish you the best luck W.D.D I wish from you in the next video you mention my name I will be very appreciate and happy if you says my name 🤩❤ ebrahim from Arab land lol😆😹

[@fytghggyungf7601]

Takes me right back to my teens! Had a 97 TSI AWD and then traded that for a 99 Eclipse GSX. Wish I never got rid of ‘em! After the Need for speed/Fast & Furious era it’s getting so hard to find a nice stock example of these, especially the Talon’s.

[@Collector123k]

You have nice taste in cars 🙂👍🏻

[@SahanRavinder]

I had a ‘93 TSi. Busher Catback and manual boost controller is all I needed for some sick time slips.

[@robbalinski1606]

I'm still finding them everywhere in central canada, I sold my mint condition 100k mile 92 talon awd in 2021.........seen it 3 months later with the passenger side caved in and the nice rare momo exhaust system hacked up and fart cannon added, was super disappointing. Means my 90k mile 2gb eclipse gsx, 98 tsi awd or my last 1g awd aren't being sold period even tho I've gott'n back into the supra game.

[@BucksSuperStereoWorld]

I had one of these. It was a 1990 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD. The 4G63t engine was an amazing platform that's capable of some amazing power figures. I have built many of them, including one that I built and swapped into my 1992 Plymouth Colt hatchback. This Talon is what's known as a "1gb" meaning a 1st generation, second design. My 1990 had a different rear end.

[@fytghggyungf7601]

Wouldn’t this be a 1GA since it has pop-up headlights and not the 92-94 composite headlights?

[@Wartorment]

@@fytghggyungf7601 It's a 1GA. I've had two.

[@Chad_Thundercock_]

Definitely a 1ga. 1gb started in 92 model year.

[@anonymuswere]

besides center caps, the wheels are also distinctively missing lugnuts. and someone BETTER save this poor thing. 80's and 90's surviors are rare as hens teeth 'cause they usually get driven into the ground or were turned into "rolling radios"...and finding out that there's a surviving Eagle out there is jaw dropping enough.

[@JP-ou8yb]

I don't know if you noticed but when vacuuming the back seat area, you vacuumed up a key. 6:55 time.

Those Chrysler engines were actually Mitsubishi engines rebranded with a Chrysler value cover. Go with an Evo. Unless you don't care about that then go with a Honda motor.

[@BucksSuperStereoWorld]

Yes sir, the 4G63t was an amazingly capable engine. I've seen them making over 1000 wheel horsepower.

On that flat paint... try using some transmission fluid. It's an old, very old, car show trick. Just wipe it on, and watch as it shines up like new. It will only last for a few days, at most, but it will give you a very good idea of what it would look like when it's repainted.

[@rodmunch69]

@@eaglepoint56 I was just a kid with no money and an old rusted crappy looking car and some old guy told me about it, and it worked remarkably well. It was also great in that it kept idiots from sitting on your car, since they'd get oil all over them. As I said it would generally last a few days - although I mainly used it when I was going on a date or going to show off since it shined up the car like it was brand new. Not sure how a used car salesman would pull this off since the coat would literally feel like it was coated in oil.

[@PizzaGeist]

Thank you for giving this DSM another chance! Engine or not, this car is incredibly cool!

[@holnugget]

My roomate had one of these new back in college and it was amazing. You have to find the stock engine. Its an awesome driver's car if you get it running again. My roomate had a sweet 90s Alpine radio and subs. It would thump!

You can find 4g63T for from $2k to over $7k, depending on what you want to do with it. You should definitely take that back to factory config. It's really the only way.

Fuck I can't sell any of my 4g63T's in perfect running condition with fresh timing jobs using $600 of oem parts for even $1500......

That wheel was missing two studs and a center cap! Hope you saved it! Just make sure you get the correct 4G63. I have a 90 Tsi AWD and a 95 Tsi AWD. Miss those cars a lot! Can still get pretty clean ones for under $10k.

[@briandentguy3403]

[@ScrappersDetailing]

Great job guys! Looks sharp.

[@adamr4963]

A Mitsubishi Eclipse engine is going to be your closest to an original engine for that model. An Evolution would be a good upgrade.

[@aye3678]

Those seats turned out great! Nice job, lads

[@houseofno]

Just an FYI Eagle was Chrysler's captive import brand originally for former AMC's captive brand engineered products inherited from Chrysler's purchase of AMC in 1987. Eagle was also the brand for AMC's badge engineered Renault cars. This brand was largely phased out by the mid 90s. The Talon got a brief life as a badge engineered clone for the first and second generation Diamond Star Motors or DSM cars including the Mitsubishi Eclipse and first gen only Plymouth Laser.

[@PKDesigns2011]

Ty for sharing, awesome work getting it back to standards ... I had couple of these ..... from the Talon's -- Black tsi awd 91, and a 92 + 93 gray once as well ... I think this is the n/a talon -- not the turbo ... normally those came with 16in wheels and a cooler on the right side ... but I didn't see under the hood so only guessing since i didn't see any TSI stickers ...

[@markitasmith1368]

I detail out of Kentucky and if theres any stubborn stains in the carpet i usually remove the carpet spray my carpet cleaner on it let it sit for like 5 to 10 minutes agitated and then pressure wash it

Gotta put the 4G63 back in it. Maybe a little bit bigger turbo and upgrade intercooler. These cars were wicked fast. I had a 93 and it was sick. Miss it like crazy!

[@btbd2785]

a trick to help get rust stains or of carpet is to use Lenons and some salt also use cold water I stead of hit water from a steamer. add lemon juice and 1-2 tsp of salt and use a tiwl. soak the towel in the mixture and the try and lightly scrub that area. If that doesn't work you can use a Rust stain remove like Rust Oleum Whink Rust Remover, or Iron Out rust stain remover

[@thesingingtiggs4781]

Citrus force max asd works great for stains use it full strength let it dwell while your doing the plastics then go over with your normal carpet cleaner brush and extractor

Great video! The engine is actually a Mitsubishi turbo RG63. These are found in the Mitsubishi Eclipse and Lance EVO. The Eclipse GSX drive train is nearly identical to that of the Talons.

5/12/24 its missing the Eagle symbol that is in the center of the wheel.

For a 34 year old car it still looks and run great as my Summer Driver.

[@thatguywiththemitsu9696]

my first guess for the wheel was the center cap, but it has to be the missing lugg nuts?

I would hunt for the original engine for this vehicle. Not numbers matching but at least the engine that was engineered for this car will perform best when matched up to the transmission and frame it is meant to carry.

[@bellwethertrucking3650]

Believe it or not, the eclipse (and the Plymouth Laser) were based on the Talon platform, powered by Mitsubishi (then owned by Chrysler-Jeep-Eagle). Even after the Eclipse and Laser were discontinued, they still made the Talon. These were the quickest cars on the road in the early 90's.

[@nsean479]

@@bellwethertrucking3650 Got to love the old Jap cars from the early 90's, had a Celica GT4 think they were called the all-trac.

[@fytghggyungf7601]

@@bellwethertrucking3650 That’s not accurate at all. First, Chrysler never owned Mitsubishi. These DSM’s were just a joint venture between Chrysler and Mitsubishi. The Talon was the second to get discontinued when Chrysler dropped the Eagle brand in 98. The Plymouth laser never made it to the 2nd gen design, it was discontinued after 94. After the Talon ended in 98, the Eclipse got two more generations on its own running up until 2012 when it was discontinued.

[@bellwethertrucking3650]

You have to put a Talon engine back in there. It doesn't have to be "stock", but any other engine just wouldn't be right. These cars are *INSANE* fast!

[@daniellawson9302]

Talon and Laser all use the Eclipse body and the Mitsubishi engine. This car would have had the 2.0 liter DOHC and the turbocharger. It's a truly rare car and deserves to be saved. This engine stock had 200 HP. So, you don't have to use the "original" engine. A Mitsubishi engine of the same type will look, and perform, as well as the original. Minor upgrades to the cam and turbo will see significant increases in speed over stock. Love this car and hope the buyer sees it's worth.
