Welcome to Mike's DSM Page!!

Thanks for stopping by my little spot on the web.


By the way, this page is VERY under construction right now.  I hope to have it done and polished up in the next few days.  The management apologizes for any inconvenience.

My 1996 Eagle Talon TSi

These pictures were taken at Milan Dragway in Michigan on opening day.  April 1st, 2000.  I had a different set of wheels and tires bolted up to the front so that I didn't destroy my regular street tires.  Click on either one of these two pics above to go my photo gallery.


I bought my 96 Eagle Talon TSi in July of 1998 with just over 24,000 miles on it. In the summer of 1999, after learning of Club DSM and hanging out with some local members, I began "modding" my car.  These Turbocharged, Intercooled 2.0L DOHC 4-cylinder powered cars can be made into real screamers!

- I designed and printed the decals. This is what they look like:

The second photo isn't the greatest, and I don't have that file anymore, so I'm not able to make exact reproductions.  They were prototypes.  This is a rendering of what the new design looks like.

 

That's it for now.  Check back often, as I will be making frequent enhancements.
