The car has made 213KW at the front wheels on its previous 18psi tune, but it currently runs a 20psi tune. So I'm guessing somewhere in the 220-230Kw region.

Unfortunately It wont be mine for that much longer

For the next couple of weeks only I will let her go for $35,000.

After that, I will be separating bits and pieces from her.

Heres the link to the add if anyone is interested.

Cheers
Ross

Hi Ross,

thanks for your posts recently and all the HOT photos!! We do have a policy of not allowing double posting and especially dual posting of CAR FORSALE threads BUT,since your car is so unique and you have spent so much money on your machine,the exec team and I have decided to leave this thread and allow discussion to take place.

I wish you the best of luck with your sale and if you have time,you should join us on the cruise this sunday!!!

ps-make sure you post up here first if you decide to start stripping the parts off your machine!!!

[GLF-18T]

Thanks alot for that buddy.

Appreciate it.

[99gti]

Oh my god - if your selling that, what are you getting? That is amazing. I love it! God luck with the sale - I hope it goes to a good home.

[gpk_gti]

even tho you beat me at the nats! hehe,,but your car is seriously HOT !! you deserved to win !!

have you had much interest in it?? have you tried putting a forsale sticker on it and driving around?? worked for me a few times..

Car is absolutely awesome Ross, I hope you find a buyer nice and quick and it finds a good home.

Cheers,

Snowy.

[GLF-18T]

Thanks Snowy!

I really hope i can find someone who appreciates the car and the time/effort that has gone into it. (not to mention the $$$$$)

It's an absolute buzz to get around in! Does the trip to and from work with not a hint of fuss, and will happily dispose of some far more expensive exotics at the same time! (i.e. B7 RS4, SLK55 AMG, M3 etc etc )

Yep, thats my car alright! Thats how it looked about 18 months ago..

I didnt get sponsored by Boston, but after seeing some shots of the install on some forums, they got in contact with me and asked if they could feature it on their website. Why not i said!!

they are my wheels thanks ross lol do the new wheels scrape with 5 people in it.?

[GLF-18T]

Depends what height i have the coilovers set at!!

If its set to the height i usually run around on (about a 1.5" drop), then it virtually wont rub unless its packed with passengers, and i hit a large bump.

But if i wind them right down, i.e. autosalon style then yep, it will rub.
