Well after owning a 95 TSI AWD with a 6bolt swap, rotting strut towers and rockers.... I'v come too this :

Car is clean no rust
It's getting fresh paint
Plan is to swap engine from talon
T28 300 Whp goal
FM intercooler
ECM link 3.0
650cc injectors
EVO 9 Fuel pump


I'm gonna post more pics this week let me know what you guys think.

Looks like a good start, regardless of the bumper looking "fresh" or not. Do you plan on keeping the Talon spoiler?

 

[talon_42o]

No I am going wingless the bumper is missing some retainer clips

Engine Bay Shot ...

Found this under the passenger carpet no idea what this is for or where it goes ??

The blue one connects to the abs computer and the black one is for grounds.

Ahhh makes sense the previous owner removed the abs so that explains why its on the floor.

Looks like a good base to build on

The previous owner took out the power steering, but it looks like he has a 1g pump and the belt is just not on the pulleys. I would assume if i'm swapping in my other 6bolt motor that has a 2g pump and is working on my tsi currently it would work in the gsx ? I know that most ppl get the manual steering rack... just wondering if they look different or how I can check ?

 

[ka24debt]

no rust is a great thing!!

 

['99GST]

Will you be doing the painting?

 

[talon_42o]

Will you be doing the painting?

I will most likely get it painted at a local shop..

A lil update the 6bolt from the talon is now swapped in the gsx I did some front end work wheel bearings curved control arms tie rod ends. Swaped hood and hatch from Talon aswell as the windsheild wiper motors and tank. I removed the spoiler today check it out.
