1.0 backstory:
Received this 1992 talon tsi around summer 14 in exchange for work on a stealth. As it sat the car was completely stock with the exception of an alarm system but had been sitting in a field for some time. As a result the rear calipers were seized, the tank was rusted pretty bad and the car was rough to look at.

1.1 what I have
Currently the car runs, looks like crap, has ecmlink v3, and needs some tlc.146x,xxx on the dash. Have been replacing worn out stock parts with performance upgrades.

1.2 what I want

What I would like to achieve for now is a mild 16g street car, with occasional weekend track time. As it is neither my dd nor do I have the notion to create a strictly track car, my intentions will be to keep it simple, clean, and fun. All work will be done by me with the possible exception being paint.
