*When I say all related timing components replaced, I mean OEM Mitsubishi timing and balance shaft belts, timing belt idler pulley, timing belt tensioner pulley, balance belt tensioner, timing belt tensioner, new OEM Mitsubishi water pump from Conicelli Mitsubishi in the states (not a rebuilt), crankshaft pulley, crankshaft seal, camshaft seals, valve cover gasket and coolant changed. Over $1,000 was spent on parts alone. That’s why I say you do not need to worry about anything related to the front case for at least another 50-60,000kms.
The Eagle Talon, when equipped with full-time all wheel drive, has control and stability offered only by a select few high-end manufacturers such as Audi, Mercedes, Porche, Subaru and Volkswagen. This allows the driver to fully enjoy the benefits of the Talons’ 2.0 litre power plant, pumping out 195 horsepower and 203 foot-pounds of torque in stock trim. With a fully independent, multi-link, double wishbone suspension, the Talon is as ready for a canyon-carving dart through the mountains, as it is for that last minute accident-avoiding maneuver on Deerfoot Trail. As you enter the cockpit and adjust the six way seat to your every curve, you realize this car is meant to be piloted, not driven.
I have served as Green Goblin’s (aka the car) daily driver for two years now. In that time, I have fully maintained the beast, as required and then some, starting with the full timing belt procedure (please see first paragraph). As well, I did add basic performance upgrades, such as a K&N air filter, 2.5” turbo-back exhaust, rewired fuel pump, suspension components, etc. The car has been returned to stock form, with the exception of the items listed under the “FEATURES” section. Yes, she has seen the track twice. In the few passes made, she and I managed a best time of 14.2 at 92.99mph. This was with a slipping clutch, which has since been replaced. As mentioned, Green Goblin has always been treated to synthetic fluids, premium oil filters and 91 octane fuel or higher while I’ve been in her possession.
Being twelve years old, the car shows average wear for its age. There are the odd dents, scratches, some faded paint on the mirrors and two small rust spots on each front fender. But the rear bumper is near mint, which is probably the most important view you’ll be concerned with! ; ) Other than these small battle scars, the car still looks great and drives like clockwork.
As you might be able to tell by the information provided, I take above average care of my vehicles and try to learn as much about them as possible. I’m selling my baby to move on to bigger and better things (a 92 Talon, aka project “Back in Black”, thus my screen name DSMer4Life!) You will not be disappointed with this well maintained Talon. There is nothing to do but get in and drive!
