94 TSi AWD - Reliable 11 second DD

[asshanson]

You're going to be at the IAF shootout? I thought about going to that next weekend, we'll see if it happens or not. Wouldn't mind seeing what the car does in the 1/4 mile.

yep, this is looking to be probably the best year for it. It has always been a fun event, but this year it got advertised a bit more publicly and there should be quite a few sweet street cars there.
Um your throtle cable is on backwards.

I like your car and I'm super jealous that you have money races to attend that are decently close to you.

They hate imports here.
Hah, throttle cable was like that but it works out that way to keep it from looping over the intake manifold which looks even worse. I plan to do with it eventually what I had on my old 1g talon, and loop it under the intake manifold so its both hidden and cleaner.

well the latest purchase:

Bought from my buddy for $400.
He was trying to peddle me off his FMIC (which is very nice and easily a $500-600 FMIC setup) for $200, and I was debating.. since my ETS core works but my piping is pretty janky but it does work. Then he was like "You know what fuck it 400 and take the whole car". I already was going to take the interior out of it, it has mint grey cloth and I hate my tan leather especially since my front seat is worn.

Car also comes with wheels/tires and the tires are brand new. Full exhaust, brand new walbro 255 in the rear less than 50 miles on it. Full 4bolt rear swapped. Has good suspension on it.

Body is really the only bad thing, he bought it for the sleeper aspect. Just needs paint and has some dings/dents. Very light rust if really any.

I'm probably just going to pull the FMIC, swap my interior into it and throw the shell up for grabs for like 300-400 basically what I pay for it, and then if no one comes for it within a month I'll pull out the 4bolt, xfer case, anything left of the interior that might be of value, and just scrap it.

Does it run?

[RlySlow]

nope, complete car besides motor itself. I could have a motor in it for about 200-300 but I just don't have time/space to mess with it being that im usually 3 hours away at school and only back once every few weekends. Actually got an offer last night for the shell so taking what I want from it and then its off to another guy I know to be his project.

well it appears almost 10k miles of daily driving and beating the tar out of the stock trans on and off the track has taken the toll on it.

Launched the car last night and it wouldnt hit 2nd, thought it was just me missing it though i rarely miss 2nd. Today car grinds into 2nd no matter what, even just cruising and sometimes even just sitting at a stop.

Looks like shes going down for the count. Still drove it 3 hours back to school today. Just going to park it on the side of the garage and in a few weeks drive it back home to store it until I can afford to do the trans right.
