My name's Zack, I bought a 97 TSi AWD off of ebay in early December. The guy I bought it from in Arizona had no idea what he was sitting on. He claimed the car was stock

. Imagine my surprise when after the car arrived I found a 16G under the hood

. Closer inspection revealed more parts, which are all listed in my profile along with the ones I've installed since then.
I have wanted an AWD DSM since I was 15 (I'm almost 26 now). That was when my 16 yr old buddy Tim let me take an underage spin in his brand new 94 FWD ESi N/T 5spd with chrome rims and slammin 600 watt audio system, all of which his dad had just bought him. It hurt a bit since all I could afford with my summer job was a $500 P.O.S. 1983 pontiac rust-bucket sedan with 150k on it

. I never really had the money for the car I wanted until now.
Tim's had a good head start on me with tuning his DSM, and he's pushing roughly 200 all-motor horsepower, but I think he might be the jealous one this time around.
Here's some pics of the car, taken from the ebay ad.
