Red 2gB TSI AWD 5spd car.
Was involved in a flood I believe. Has SBR 50 trim, Red dejon piping kit/fmic, gunmetal wheels with polished lip (Tsw's I believe?), GVAUTOSPORT decals in silver on both side corner windows, Red sparco seats, Red sparco fabric headliner.
Just curious, Because the car is now at my garage, Just got it yesterday and thought maybe someone would know who owned it on here, It came from by carlisle or somewhere..

It has good vibrations stickers everywhere. There is a massive good vibes auto sales sticker in the back window, two on the side 1/4 windows. I think one on the windshield? It was involved in a pretty big flood from the looks of the entire car and everything on/in it. Other then being completly screwed up from flood damage, The actual body is basically flawless though.

correct shane, it was my old car. here is a little history on it:
back in 2005 (maybe 2006) i got the DSM itch again (had owned DSMs before and gotten out of them for a while). I was currently working at Good Vibes (when it was Good vibrations on 611) and we were doing a LOT of DSMs.
At the time a good friend of mine was also into DSMs (he was always a 1g guy) so I called him and told him to keep an eye out for a clean unmolested example (i was very picky with what DSM i would buy since so many were hacked). he laughed when i called him and told him to keep an eye out... his dad (who is in his 60s) had picked up a MINT red/charcoal leather 2g talon from the original elderly female owner (she was in her late 70s i believe and it was her husbands car before he passed away), ZERO modifications other than a very high end audio system. it had 40k-ish miles on it with all maintenance done and records of everything. I told him i would be there in an hour with cash.
I bought the car for $8500.00 and played with it stock for a few months. The first mod was window tint (since we did that at GV) and a 1g BOV, H&R race springs and the TSW kayalame wheels (i took the wheels off a totaled customers RSX that had an outstanding balance with us on the RSX before he totaled it, so he gave us the car as payment). After the wheels i ordered the Sparco Torino seats from motovicity along with a roll of red sparco fabric for the headliner and had one of my installers do the wrap job for me, it looked great when it was done!
that following november my friends all pitched in a bought me the dejon intake BOV and race FMIC, matt installed it for me along with the apexi downpipe and HKS hi-power cat back. over the winter i added a Pioneer AVIC-Z1 (top of the line at the time). I enjoyed her in the snow and then my clutch went, I threw in an ACT 2100 with LWFW and new master cylinder and greddy shift knob
for X-mas carl (the old gv owner gave me a DSM-link which i also had matt install with an eprom ecu)
after the clutch & DSM-link (in typical DSM fashion) something else broke... my turbo seals went. we threw in a 14b from a low mile 1g we had at the shop and i started getting sick of fixing her all the time, so i posted her up for sale. I kept getting bull**** offers and eventually sold her for $6300 with 79k miles to some kid in the poconos who couldnt even drive stick
the car had ZERO issues and certainly no flood damage
the above is all that i can remember, i am sure some of the details are not in the correct order, but it WAS quite a few years ago.
here are a few pics, if you need any more info rob shoot me a PM (i dont come in the DSM section any more haha)
here she is how i got her, bone stock (this was on one of our cruises with nick, corey, etc. etc.)
here she is at the CF show with the wheels, springsw, seats, etc. etc.
getting the FMIC and stuff installed
the headliner when it looked good
how she looked when i sold her
