out of the two what one is more reliable i hear once you start moding on the talon shit starts messing up on it is that true?

I think no matter what car you get, once you start modding it shit starts happening.
If the Talon comes with the 4G63 (?) that I think it comes with, it may be a better choice than the KA24(D)E... MAY. All I know is that there are plenty of crazy 4G63s and only a handful of KA24s.

I dono much about the talon but I would agree with adey on modding a car.

Personally, the only way I'd go with a talon is if I could get the AWD turbo model...

The 240sx would be more reliable. The DSM's are know for crankwalk. But on the plus side they have turbos stock and a bigger aftermarket.

I was considering the talon as well but decided on a 240. &nbsp;Crankwalking as far as i remember is the crank moves laterally, or in line with the engine. &nbsp;This problem is with the 95 and newer DSMs. &nbsp;If you are thinking about the older model then I haven't heard this problem with those, but you have to watch out for the transmission on an awd modded car. &nbsp;My first car was a 91 tsi awd and I didn't know about taking care of cars. &nbsp;Let's just say that i killed the car, and it took the dealer 9 months to fix the car so it was drivable.

i know people with both cars. &nbsp;my friend has a talon tsi awd w/ str8 pipe intake boost controller and 320cc injectors. &nbsp;so far his only problems have been running too lean (his fault he f**ked with the boost controller to 20psi on stock injectors) a leaky hose and a messed up reverse synchro. &nbsp;the 240 so far hasnt had any problems that i know of but he only has injen and some cheap apc exhuast and hotshot headers. &nbsp;either way its a good choice but the talon will be cheaper to get more hp from than a ka
