I always lusted after those cars. I almost bought one off a used lot in the mid 90's except it was running bad and I was spooked by that.

Many years ago a SCCA SoloII Natl Champ (name is escaping me at the moment) jumped in my RX7 and took it for a spin at an Evolution Driving School, told me it reminded him of his old TSI that he won Championships with years ago.

Because of that comment, I started looking for a TSI and did a lot of research on them. Some things I learned, they only have 2 fuel injectors, they do double duty working for 2 cylinders each. A common tuner swap was sourcing a Turbo Eclipse head to swap onto the engine block. It takes some mods but could be done.

I was very close to buying one locally and then backed out at the last minute, I did not need another car project at the time.

The styling of those cars always impressed me, such a great looking car.
