New guy here
 

Hey everyone..
New guy here from Orlando, FL.. however im moving to Chicago in a few months.. I figured it was close enough to the midwest, also i used to live in MN and will travel there frequently.
Anyways.. i'm not very new to DSM's, i used to have a 1990 TSi AWD, a little modded, but a ton of rust and alot of crap wrong with it.
I traded it for an 88 turbo supra with a JDM motor that was significantly faster..
After blowing that motor, i found another DSM.. its a 1991 TSi FWD..
It sucks going from AWD->RWD->FWD but i think i can make do until i find a AWD shell or somethign
Anyways heres a few pics of my car, im in the process of replacing the head, timing belt, vacuum lines (with silicone), and a few other small things to get it running good enough to drive up to IL.

Welcome out of state noob!

Re: New guy here
 

Hey i lived in MN for 18 years of my life, and i used to be on this site til i moved.. I felt out of place. so technically im not a noob... lol
The shifter defenitly needs replacing (along with all the bushings under it)
The car has 195k miles and is 100% stock that I can see, it looks like it was owned by an old woman, theres valentine cards from 2004 all over the back, along with the owners manual scattered in the front.

195k?!?!?!?:eek: thats a hell of a lot of miles!!!

Re: New guy here
 

I know, i'm used to alot of miles though. My old talon had 208k on it.
But for the mileage this car looks suprisingly good, the interior is perfect, the paint will look shiney like new with a wax job, the stock wing is still shiney!
and, no rust.. it'll be perfect even tho its FWD

Re: New guy here
 

howdy! Why are you moving to chicago? Florida is so nice....

Re: New guy here
 

Florida is nice, i'll miss it..
But the wages suck, the cost of living is wayy high.. and, im just generally tired of it lol..
Plus, i'll be in snow again, so when I find another AWD, i get to spend my nights going to big open freshly snow covered parking lots like i used to love doing so much.

Welcome! Suprisingly clean car, I like!
