This is the car I bought. Some of you may remember seeing it in the F/S section a couple of months ago. I bought it and a spare 6 bolt and towed it home. The 7 bolt in the car was blown so I swapped in the other motor and now I drive it every day. Go me.
This is what it looked like when I went to pick it up:
And this is what it looks like now:
And for those that wanted to know what was wrong with the motor in the car when I bought it:
Specs: 97 Eagle Talon Tsi 91,xxx ATX 6 bolt swap, rebuilt, BS removed with kiggly trans adapter 14b turbo w/ ported manifold, exhaust housing, and o2 housing injen intake w/ K&N filter 3" Dp and 3" N1 knock-off catback hard IC piping Dropped on eibach pro-kits
And Mike, if you're reading this, thanks again for everything.

It's FWD and it gets great gas mileage. I was considering AWD but I borrowed my friends gsx and it was eatin' up fuel like crazy.
Top of the wheel to bottom of fender: 1" all around. The eibach prokits are an awesome lowering spring. And Im working on the sig pic, this is my fourth dsm and I only managed to get a pic of the first one I owned up there, lol.

nice clean car. A few things, recirculate your BOV back into your intake... which means get rid of your apexi. Also, is that a complete 6 bolt swap or jsut a 1g head? good luck with the 4g63

I bought it like that and Im not changing anything until I get the funds for it. First things first, trans flush and fluid change!
I know, I was dissapointed too when I went to Michigan to see the car and noticed all the little things the previous owner (not Schwabm, the guy before him) did wrong, including the lime green valve cover and ebay coilovers....
