Wanted one since I was 13, always stuck with luxury cars though. buy it!!!!!!!!

Jamdin · 09-24-2001, 09:51 PM

I think eagles need their talons for catching food. I know it's illegal in most parts to use eagle feathers.

The Talon is okay, but I hear the Beak is even better.

-=HUNGRYMAN=- · 09-24-2001, 10:18 PM

A friend of mine has one .... they are sweet, but be prepared when something breaks on them ... NOBODY stocks parts for them ... everything is on backorder, or you have to order special, which always involves paying UPFRONT for the parts, and then having to wait for then to come ... and then be installed ... that is the ONLY regret he has.

He is probably going to buy a Integra soon, mainly for that reason ...

What are you talking about Bro ?!?
There is no meat in the beak

Rice_Master · 09-24-2001, 11:32 PM

Talon are great.. but I would rather get an Eclipse. I, myself also own an Talon 95. I did alot of work to it, body kit, rims, decals, custom interior, system... etc...

------------------

Royaltee_Gee · 09-24-2001, 11:41 PM

Ya I know eclipses are sweet.. But they dont sell them here in Canada. And theres like none for sale :- ((

Rice_Master · 09-24-2001, 11:43 PM

Rumors are that they are building 30 dealership across Canada this year...

tenletters · 09-25-2001, 03:22 AM

What about the Plymouth Laser? It's almost the same car.

Parts maybe as hard to find as Talon ones though.

JakeR · 09-25-2001, 11:43 AM

Laser = old school
Old body. Stopped making them in 93 or 94.

Talon's are decent,you can do alot of mods to it, are you planning on adding on to one?

Kimmykim · 09-25-2001, 11:57 AM

Oh, well, I thought you were talking about my nails...

Lensman · 09-25-2001, 07:35 PM

I don't think the talons are gonna turn over Bin Laden.

iceyone · 09-25-2001, 08:09 PM

Royaltee_Gee · 09-25-2001, 08:10 PM

Sure you can !!!
And if you DRIVE it across, you don't even pay GST and PST on it ... ever since free trade started. Me and a buddy used to go down to the Carolinas, buy a 68 Camaro or a 69 GTO Judge for under $3000 USD, and drive them up here ... quick body and paint, and sell them for $10,000+ CDN

If you're gonna rice it up, then get it, if not, dont bother... get an acura or integra, it looks dorky without rice, and still dorkier with the rice... so...

Get something people can respect, like a 400 HP mustang...

vroom vroom.

Rose · 09-26-2001, 02:49 PM

They are nice, but they are having problems with timing belts

invig · 09-26-2001, 04:13 PM

whats with these cars these days...i mean,i remember sitting at the lights and 1970 mustangs,challengers,camaros,dusters,and gto's would pull up beside me and rattle my doors off....
now days cars pull up beside me and i would think its mother on her sewing machine...wtf is that? what happened to the
real muscle cars?

Rose · 09-26-2001, 07:24 PM

Lots of Japanese imports have problem with
timming belts.That's why they recommend changing them after 80 or 100 000 km.
Sometimes it costs a lot $.
If timming belt goes in Eagle Talon
you may as well say by to the engine.
If the timing belt goes in shity Ford Escort
shit happens.Just put a new one there.

Rose · 09-26-2001, 07:25 PM

invig
Not too many those muscle cars left

DrewKole · 09-27-2001, 10:16 AM

I hear that...

Come down here sometime man, we've got plenty of muscle cars in my redneck state...

I can vouch... 90% of em woop my new mustang out the ass.

Thats until I get that damned torque/stall converter in... bleah

Damn straight... I'll put my Tuned Port IROC-Z up against that rice any day of the week.
Spent all last year goin' through it, one bolt at a time... fully tweaked. It's primed and ready... but sadly now, it just sits there lookin' all shiny and sweet and that's about it. I actually only drive it about once every three or four months. But when I do... hehehe... pure speed baby.

Lensman · 09-27-2001, 11:09 AM

I guess now the Talons want Jessie Jackson to come to Afganistan.

woman started driving so they had to built cars that actually did more than go "fast" in a straight line.

my friend has a 67 mustang vert. the thing brakes and handles like a truck full of bricks on ice

danevans · 09-27-2001, 02:45 PM

I'd like to hear some opinions on '81 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.. There's ONE, only one of them in my area, I know the owner (some nutty old man). Anyway, the car has been parked for 5yrs now, gets rustier by day (it's between an apricot tree and a garage (not in the garage, inside is a LADA

)..
He would sell it for some small price, but I'm not sure if it's a good car, and if it's worth rebuilding..
Anyone?

Royaltee_Gee · 09-27-2001, 02:46 PM

I ended up getting the talon..

It's good shit.... Cant wait to get leather put in, and some nice rims....

I wanna make sure I dont chink it out though : - )

no offence to any chineese here..
hehe : 9

Royaltee_Gee · 09-27-2001, 02:47 PM

Also, Rice_Master...

ICQ me.. What kind of rims do you got on your talon?

I like the ones you got...

whoreans · 09-27-2001, 02:56 PM

eclipse still look better than the talons =]

Amputate Your Head · 09-27-2001, 02:58 PM

My next trade will be the Z for a Vette.

GTS Mark · 09-27-2001, 05:20 PM

I'll stick with the Suzuki GSXR 750 thanks!

It would kick the shit out of any of the weiny cars you are talking about!
