Blog Title: My $750 95 TSi AWD......Progress thread...

I lost my 95 GS-T last year due to my own stupidity and have been fiending for a DSM ever since. I found this car over a year later and It was retarded cheap so i bought it immediately. I was looking for this exact setup for 4 months and kept missing out on them. It had been sitting for over 2 years. I had seen it many times but never thought it was the one......

Picked it up for $750 with a blown clutch and needing a T/C. came with a BUNCH of spare parts like 2 heads and some old t-25's and MSD DIS-2. guy needed everything GONE. 149K and ran strong. 3rd head, original everything else. owner had it from 40K-when i bought it. Arizona & Virginia car most of its life.

1995 Talon TSi AWD 5-speed. Leather, ABS, EPROM, sunroof, INFINITY 6-DISC stereo with WORKING Pioneer 6-disc changer in the back with the cradle for it. Everything but LSD rear. ALL original body panels, all with DSM sticker. Original paint. No accidents. I love time capsule cars

Picked it up 26 June 2010.

I realize this car was basically a GIFT, and I will treat it as such. I get a do-over

Watch as I take this car from white swirly wheeled 90's car to my clean ass talon

16G Repaired

Got my E316g back, it's all together and mothballed until spring time. I'll tune the car and get used to Link and then when I'm ready I will install this.

OK, my EPROM is back from being socketed. Link is ready to go into the car. I threw the eBay 02 onto the turbo tonite just for fun.

I bought the Gates Blue timing and BS belts, and some new seals.

The front main seal has a slow leak that i plan on having fixed when the timing belt is swapped out. I am having a shop do this as i don't have the time or area to do this and have it in the way. I'm leaving the BS in there. I'm don having the oil pan dropped and aftermarket stuff installed by a shop. It's not worth it for me, i am not trying to make crazy power with this car.

my winter storage shelf is looking good! EVERYTHING needed for timing belt replacement and 16g Upgrade...

JUST bought a new HP 255 FP and Gen 3 lifters for $186.50 courtesy of black friday deals

. i held off buying more!!!! thats all i need for the 16 right now.

Bought FIC 750's for $150, and just picked up a new O-ring set for them.

Bought the FP Race Mani for $175 and got the shirt bolts for it.

I have new OEM bolts for the mani-->turbo, as well as OEM washers. I'm not gonna botch this up like last time and hurt the turbo again.

Bought the VRSF FMIC for $388 shipped on sale

I hope the have the 16g installed around next march
