A few of you remember at MAPs fall dyno day last year seeing this clean 92 White TSi AWD. Back then it was in 100% stock form, not even free mods done to it. He is Sr. Kipp on here, doesn't post much but will probably start a thread in the Project forum. He bought it from the original owner who kept records for everything including a 20 some page little pad he had made that logged the mileage from what gas station including the price per gallon dating all the way back to 92 back when he bought it new! Here is the kicker of it all, I found this car on Fagslist and wasn't in the market at the time and suggested my friend to go take a look at it, he did and bought it on the spot for $ 2700 cash! Only 95k miles on it and has almost all the options that you would want on a 1g including the non-ABS brakes! Well since he bought it we've added:

- Free mods (star silencer removal, snout on air can removal, BCS pill removal)
- 18" ADR GT Sports (which only weigh 1 lbs. each rim/tire more than the stock 16" rims/tires)
- a very ported EVO 3 o2 housing
- RRE EVO3 flanged DP
- Apexi' N-1 catback
- K-Sport Coilovers all dialed in w/ Jeff the Alignment Guy alignment done

Now we're moving on to the power upgrades, Driveshaft Shop Alum. shaft, Swaintech coated FP exhaust manifold, Evo 3 16G (?) with Swaintech coating on the hotside, EVO MAS, bigger FP, Injectors and a DB tune. Haven't fully committed to the EVO 3 16G yet, looking for opinions for other wide powerband turbos.

That car is fucking nice, I was drooling all over it.
Good buy on the DS, please do a dyno test with it, maybe you can get a local shop to sponsor it.

Please take your time with this car it is gorgeous i would trade my car for this one.

Sweet! Skip the fpr, pointless. 255+ 2G MAS + Evo 560's + E316g = wootlicious!

^^ I think FP was fuel pump, not a regulator.
Anyway, nice looking car, another vote for e316g.

An FPR isn't necessarily pointless. I kept blowing out the diaphragm in stock FPR's with my 255. The issue went away as soon as I got an Aeromotive unit.
