(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

:thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

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) LOL 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 :cool::cool::cool:

Here is a link to when the car was underway of becoming AWD

Ill be running the big 16g until i finish paying off my next turbo setup which will be a 3582r and nice set of fic 1650s
:shhh::shhh::shhh::shhh::shhh:

but at the moment I am having problems with the stock fuel pump supplying enough fuel and pressure to the rail as the previous owner had e85 in car and a very nice thick fuel line running from tank to rail so I managed to scoop up a walbro from my friend brad ,so tomorrow ill be installing that and make sure the car runs without me having to spray fuel to the TB

heres some pictures of what the car used to look like before i got it
