So I think its about time I make one of these. Hello Dsmtalk my names Sheldyn an have been in the DSM game since 2006. Started with a few 2.0 nonturbos, after going on the fourms and doing some research found they made them turbo and awd the hunt was on.
Found 3 DSM's parked on the side of this guys house. knocked on the door and asked if he wanted to sell any?
Out of the 3 I liked this one the best, 1991 Talon tsi awd. Motor condition was unknown had 118k on the car. We settled on $650
