So, yeah ... I bought a '93 TSi AWD last week.  What a world of difference in driving this vehicle in comparison to the NT.  Nearly every aspect is different.  Some for the better, some for the worse.

93 Electric Blue Eagle Talon TSi AWD
Charcoal Leather Int. (some patching on the drivers side)
Rebuilt Transmission in Sept
New stock clutch in Sept
Sunroof (aftermarket, but installed by the dealership)
1owner, she bought it new from Deer Lake.
BONE STOCK - Literally, everything. Stock.
edit: 170,000 kms

Ok, lame pictures so far ... but here's "something".


Still got the NT ... no clue what I'm going to do with it yet.

A lil Fuzzy, not sure why ... I think this one was w/o the flash...

Should have taken more pix on Sunday like this ... best day w/in the last week...

Hopefully, the weather will pick up sometime, I'll get 'er washed and waxed and take some proper pictures.

So far, the only mods I've done is removed the BCS, hacked the maf to shit, removed the can, K&N filter installed, boost gauge & a/f gauge, and a BustaBC (thanks Vlad :))  Currently running at 14psi and in the rain it's just too much damn fun  :twisted:

Looks good Andrew!  I can't wait to see it in person.  

I have to laugh though, now we've both gone from NT to 1993 TSi AWD with charcoal leather and are trying to figure out what to do with our NTs :laugh:

I'll second that too about it being a totally different experience.  For the NTs and turbo AWDs being so similar in so many ways the driving experience is soooo different.  I just wish I could combine the power and handling of the awd with the 750kms/tank of 87 octane of the nt...  :roll:

Now... Jeff, where's your AWD?   :wink:
