The Story:
I’ve been toying with the idea of buying another 1g ever since I sold my beloved 05’ Evo back in May of 08’. Recently a friend of mine mentioned that he was thinking about selling his 1g. After some talking a deal was struck that neither of us could refuse and I had the keys to my new daily driver. I’ve known the owner and the car for a few years now and I’ve admired this car for a long time.
The car is a super clean, rust free, 1992 Eagle Talon TSI AWD 6/4 combo. 139k miles on the chassis and 12k miles on the engine and transmission. No sunroof and it’s a panda too, that’s a huge bonus.
It was very well cared for and well maintained. The previous owner blew the composite head gasket at the drag strip, by accidentally loading a race gas tune while running pump gas. He said it spun the tires through first gear and lost the head gasket halfway down the track and coasted to a 13.2 @ 92mph. The car was then parked in the garage and disassembled, new parts were ordered and the engine bay was masked off and re-sprayed. He sold it simply due to a lack of time. I bought the car partially assembled and I finished the build. It took a little over a week to put back together and get back on the road.
