(LONG STORY)
Hey guys its been a long time coming as I been a dsmer since late summer of 2008
back in high school with my first car being a all stock 97 Cayenne red with tan top 5 speed GST spyder ,
well soon as i got that car i met a guy in his brothers built 2.3 35r yellow evo to
come find out he has a silver with black top 5 speed awd spyder in his garage
already AWD swapped and he was about to assemble his built engine but after
riding in the evo I was now a newb to dsm's but hooked to 4g63's
so working at the fast food place making minimum i was over there almost
every day helping and learning more about these cars and its capabilities
but after having mine for almost 3 years i Had to say goodbye due to the fact
that i didnt have the money to keep her going and the paint was fading ,top was
bad,ETC... But wasnt out of the game for long (week) I bought a 98 silver
auto Gsx for $400 and immediately sold it for $2500 without the trans in it but
had it then bought a Green Awd 5 speed 95 talon With a bunch of goods but had
a blown trans for $800 so with no luck finding a trans locally i parted the car out
and put the HKS exhaust/Teins/RMR sway bars/fp18g turbo/tial wastegate setup
and intercooler on my new 97 Talon AWD TSI which I still have btw ... well
drove it for awhile and got a rod knock so she sat then got another 97 awd talon
for a steal but kepted all stock at only 76k miles for DD purposes
then come the excitement of the story
I Bought the Dream car which is a 1998 White AWD spyder shell for $1000 from
(Johnmarines) and all the car needed was a shortblock and to be put back
together
Here is a link to when the car was underway of becoming AWD
