Picked up the car in Feb 2011. Had to drive a couple hundred miles to get it but was well worth the drive. Car only had 105K on it. Bone stock except for Injen Intake, Lowering springs & drilled/slotted brakes. Really clean interior. The front left ball joint failed causing the wheel to fall off. Car had been sitting for about 6 months. I originally went to go buy a brand new carbon fiber hatch from him & saw the GSX on jacks. After talking to him he sold me the car with the Hatch for $1100. A deal I could not pass up. I had the parts off my 95 TSI to get it on the road.

How it looked when i got it home

I plane to do to normal bolt on mods & take her to the track every now and again. I have a 95 TSI AWD that I will start messing with soon to be the "Fun Car"
 
Great job under the hood, did you steam it, or just take your time with a rag?
 
That was just with one can of engine degreaser & some elbow grease...
 
Just ordered new ball joints & outer tie rods. They are shot. Also got a rear camber kit. So hopefully that will get my suspension straight after an alignment. New rims next then go fast goodies...
 
Sold my OEM Wheels today for $300 with worn tires, But they were perfect condition. The found these with good tires for $100 more. Love the look.

The car is looking real good.


In the last 3 years I have bought 3 AWD 2G cars...Most i spent was the $1100 on this one...Ha Ha..Just keep your eyes out & you will find it..
 
I also scored a Hyundai Valve cover in excellent shape on my travels in the Junk Yards this weekend.
 
Car will be sitting for the next 3 months while I am Deployed. I already have a FP Big 16G & 3.5in FMIC Core sitting at home to install when I get back. I just need to get the final supporting mods for it & will be hooked up shortly after I return.
 
2 more weeks & I will be home...Once I get my tax return I will order everything I need to install the 16g & turn up the boost a bit.....
 
Picked up a Manifold from a member on here today. Almost have everything together so i can install the 16g & FMIC when I get home...
 
Ordered a Prosport MBC & slowly picking up all the parts I need to install the 16G & FMIC
 
Just ordered my NGR BOV......Looking like the Cat Back is next up..LOL
 
Got my exhaust in the mail...still waiting on the BOV...Going to install once my axle & transmission pan is replaced. Parts will be in on Monday!
