Hi guys and girls. Im only 17 and live in Holland, Michigan. I have owned two DSM's, one non turbo 92 1gen and now i own a 91 tsi awd 5 speed. My 91 tsi awd has for mods are: ported sm16G at 18psi(turbo) ported & polished head(just got head work and all new valves) ross forged pistons(currently being installed) MAF translator Pocket logger fidanza light weight flywheel ACT 2600 clutch 6/4 rear end SLS 3" intake 3" thermal R&D exhaust RC 550cc racing injectors walbro fuel pump w/ kit ported evo III o2 housing. Thats all off the top of my head for the moment, there is a few more goodies done to my car but i cant remember. I have been doing a lot of talking on other dsm forums but never really knew there was one so close and just for guys/girls in my area. I cant wait to join the club and start to get to know people from around the area. whens the next get together at martin? or just on a friday night if theres anything like that??cool forum, cant wait to start picking your guys's brains for information.

You wont find my car on the street, its down getting a full motor rebuild because i put a hole in a piston and snapped a valve in half, so im getting all new valves, ross forged pistons, the head is getting milled,new guids, ported some more,and pressure checked, 272 hks cams,block is getting hot tanked, then when back together its getting balanced. theres more but i cant remember at this time.

Haven't found a place to do my machine work, was look at performance engineering. I will be rebuilding my motor myself. I have already taken it apart, and my turbo also is getting a rebuild.

Welcome to the site. Sounds like you have a nice ride getting built up there. Good luck with the project, and you are at the right place to get some good DSM info!

My drive train is mainly stock, which after I tackle the engine ill be spending my time on beefing up the drive train. I do have the better re-end but thats it. I'll try to get you guys a couple of pics of my car, or ill just go out and take some soon and post them for all of you. I forgot to mention i am running off of the stock smic, I just got my new fmic from good ole ups just last week. I also wont be running my 16g much longer, ill be upgrading to a t3 turbo w/ tubular manifold, external waste gate, new BOV. I know i shouldnt ask but does anyone have rims/tires for sale?? like motega or something along those lines. I was hoping to get the powder coated center w/ the chrome lip type rim.
