Indianapolis,
Indiana
I got "Indy" back in 2011. I traded a good looking 2g tsi fwd for Indy straight up after only having the 2g for about 4 months. The 2g was cool and got lots of looks, had the basic bolt ons - 16g turbo fmic safc 550s and exhaust, but I was over fwd cars and beside that, I'm just a 1g guy at heart. Here's a pic of the 2g that I traded for Indy
I drove 70 miles south to meet the guy. We test drove each other's cars, he talked shit about the 2g and I talked shit back about the 1g, and after about 30 mins we traded titles and I drove Indy home. Looking things over that afternoon I found the oil pump off 1 tooth. Reset that and did a compression test. Came back 165psi on all 4! Was super happy about that. Drove it around the block that night. All good.
Now, I had really big plans for the car at the time. This was my 4th turbo dsm at the young age of 24, and in my infinite dsm wisdom, I decided to start tearing into a perfectly running awd dsm right away .
