Backstory

Hi I am Dan, and I am going to bastardize a Porsche.

Let me give you a back story, I will keep it brief.

As a commuter to college, I thought it would be a great idea to drive 50 miles each day to school in a fast AWD car.  So I put together a few bucks and bought myself a 95 Eagle Talon TSI AWD.  What a bad idea that was.  I modified the car with upgraded turbos, and intercoolers, and exhaust, and fuel pumps and on and on.  After all of this work I had a really fast car that was aweful in the snow and was suprising reliable.

After school I did all the family stuff (job house kids). On my way home from work one day the car left me stranded for the last time (crankwalked and took out the cam sensor).  AAA to the rescue and the car was pushed off the driveway and left there.  A new engine was sourced and put on the engine stand.

That was 5 years ago.

Since then mother nature has been really mean to the Talon.  Rust in all of the wrong places has been the worst of it.

I decided that the Talon is now beyond saving, and I have began looking for a new "fun" vehicle.
