This is a tuner car that I have been having fun with since about 2005.   Over the years I consistently searched out and purchased quality parts and components and had most of them professionally installed by 034 Motorsports, or Kovacs Motors (San Rafael, CA).   Used as a back up commuter car for most of its life.  Never tracked unfortunately, but pretty much ready for some 1/4 mile blasts or a nice day any any good road course.   It has a significant amount of tasteful modifications and might just be what you are looking for.  Wife says I have to sell this and one of my bikes, see my other auctions if you like turbo motorcycles.

This vehicle is a "big turbo car".  If you have never driven a "big turbo car" it is good to know that they ultimately sacrifice low end torque for top end horsepower.   This car is no exception.   It does have to spool the turbo, but at 22PSI on California 91 Octane pump gas, everything over 4500 RPM is exciting.  Freeway onramps are very fun...


Performance Enhancements:

ENGINE:

  • Milltek exhaust
  • ATP GTRS turbo Upgrade (350HP capable turbo)
  • 034 Motorsport Big Intake pipe

  • 034 MS custom tune 100 Octane  (Tuned on 4 wheel drive Dyno)
  • HKS EVC IV Digital Boost Controller
  • Fresh Ingition Coils
  • "Green" brand Cotton Air Filter (IMHO, better than K&N)
  • ECS Underdrive Pulleys
  • 034 MS high flow  cat
  • Forge Diverter Valve
  • New South Performance Phenolic Intake Gasket (Intake Heat Reducer)

  • Eibach Sway bars front and back

  • Sunroof Switch
  • Front Door Speakers 
  • Brakes Master Cylinder
  • Stereo Head Unit (OEM) 
  • Fresh Interstate Battery 
  • Fresh Oil and filter


Other Upgrades:

Service:

  • 95K Timing belt change
  • Always synthetic oil.  Mostly Royal Purple, but some Mobile 1 and others.
  • Always oversized Oil Filter
  • Brake Fluid Swapped 20K ago


The Good:

This car is very clean with lots of professionally installed upgrades.   Given that it is running a remapped Stock ECU, any problem that might occur would  easily diagnosed as if the vehicle was stock.    It is very clean cosmetically and only has some small areas where wear and tear were inevitable.    The car dynoed on California pump gas at 265 AWDHP which is well over 300HP at the crank.     There are Wideband 02 and EGT sensors installed.   Adjustable digital boost controller in glovebox.  Tinted windows.   Full on sleeper.   


The Not So Good:

  • Some small (filled) chips on the front of the hood.
  • One small depression over the rear driver side door (See Pics)
  • Drivers seat has tear in seam of seat cover.  
  • Shift knob is only about half covered with leather. 
  • 1 17" rim has some minor curb rash (see pics)
  • Dash LED readout mostly failed
  • AC condenser had pinhole hole patched.   Repair done 3+ years ago and stable. 


The Bad:  (NOTE: CALIFORNIA BUYERS PAY ATTENTION)

In April of 2013 I took the car to get smogged in my home region of Northern California.    Given the extensive mods the car was flagged as a "gross polluter" given that it did not have the "secondary air pump" installed.   This is true.   Smog laws and testing are getting more strict in CA and they finally caught up with this vehicle.   I have all the required parts and can ship with the car.   I can not guarantee that this  car can be easily somgged in CA given that it officially failed a visual smog inspection.   It never had problems passing any of the sniff tests,  but with missing parts, it did not pass the visual inspection.


Extra Parts:

  • The sale comes with and EXTRA SET of factory rims and Mud and Snow tires for heading to the mountains.   
  • Brand new REAR brake pads and rotors (Blauparts A4 "U Slotted" kit - (Blauparts product id =D2B1520-01-A) - These should be installed in the next 5-10K miles. - $140
  • Additional unused refurbished OEM CD player head unit.

Audi reportedly shoots down $9.2 billion investor bid for Lamborghini

Wed, May 26 2021

Volkswagen is open to divesting some of the brands in its portfolio, but it hasn't put a "for sale" sign on in front of Lamborghini's lawn yet. The firm allegedly shot down a big offer for the brand from a group of investors. Quantum Group SA, a newly-established holding company based in Zurich, Switzerland, made the non-binding offer in May 2021, according to anonymous sources who spoke to WardsAuto. The publication adds the group is ready to spend 7.5 billion euros (around $9.2 billion at the current conversion rate) to buy the entire Lamborghini division from Audi. The sale would include the brand, its intellectual property (like its trademarks and patents), its historic factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, and its racing division. Full details about the proposed acquisition were closely examined by top Volkswagen executives, including company CEO Herbert Diess and Audi boss Markus Duesmann. While the offer sounds like it's neatly packaged, Volkswagen replied that it's not having a garage sale. "Lamborghini is not for sale. This is not the subject of any discussion within the group," a company spokesperson told industry trade journal Automotive News. These comments are in line with the ones made in December 2020. Quantum's aim wasn't to sever all ties with Volkswagen. It planned to turn Lamborghini into "a spearhead for innovation by consistently implementing new clean drivetrain technologies" across the range, a strategy that's already in the pipeline; Lamborghini announced it will electrify in the 2020s and launch its first series-produced EV. Investors also hoped to sign a five-year supply agreement with Audi, and to create what they called an Advanced Automotive Innovation Center headquartered somewhere in Lower Saxony, the German state Wolfsburg is in. In late 2020, when rumors about an imminent Lamborghini spin-off were rampant, Volkswagen stressed it had no plans to sell the Italian supercar manufacturer or to find a new home for Ducati, which Lamborghini owns. Unverified reports claim a chunk of the company could be listed on the stock market in a bid to raise revenue, however. Bugatti is another part of the Volkswagen empire that Diess and his team allegedly wanted to trade in to fund the group's pivot towards electric powertrains. In September 2020, reports claimed top executives had approved swapping the storied French carmaker and its assets for a significant stake in Croatia-based Rimac that would be transferred directly to Porsche.

Audi exec suspended over diesel scandal

Mon, Sep 19 2016

So far, just one lower-level employee has plead guilty in the ongoing VW diesel scandal. Up high, the VW CEO when the scandal broke, Martin Winterkorn, resigned right after the news came out. Other executives have also quit or been suspended as well. Today, we learn that one more executive is feeling the heat a year into the scandal. Stefan Knirsch, the head of technical development at Audi and Audi board member, is going to be suspended from his position this week because of his ties to the technology that VW Group used to cheat emissions tests. The German newspaper Bild Am Sonntag reports that Knirsch not only knew that the cheating software existed but also lied about it under oath. Knirsch previously worked at Porsche and then Audi's electrification division. He left Audi's EV efforts behind in early 2015.

Editors’ Picks February 2023 | Audi RS 3, electric G80 and a longtime favorite

Wed, Mar 1 2023

In this month’s set of EditorsÂ’ Picks, we see a wide variety of vehicles earn our recommended status. The Audi RS 3 is a truly stellar sedan with a killer engine, great handling and still enough comfort for daily use. Genesis finds its way onto the list again with its electric version of the G80 midsize sedan, and VolvoÂ’s XC90 still charms after all these years. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in January that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2023 Audi RS 3 Quick take: The Audi RS 3 keeps the passion alive with a superb sounding 5-cylinder engine and a torque-vectoring rear differential that massively ups the handling fun. Its interior is a little bland, but it's still a handsome Audi on the outside. Score: 8.0 What it competes with: Mercedes-AMG CLA 45, BMW M240i, Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing, VW Golf R Pros: Epic engine sound, fun AWD system, great handling and acceleration, attractive exterior styling Cons: Interior doesn't pop, expensive for its size From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "If you love a special engine, the Audi RS 3 is a car for you. Few powertrains sound and feel as special as the 5-cylinder engine in the RS 3, and the ferocity with which it accelerates will have you laughing your head off with every pull. The sheer performance out of this little machine is extraordinary, and I'd recommend it to anybody shopping for a small, luxury sports car daily. All that said, I wish Audi could've sorted out better steering and a suitable interior. As-is, both of those factors are negatives in a car that is almost all upside." In-depth analysis: 2023 Audi RS 3 First Drive Review: To hell with business cases   2023 Volvo XC90 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge View 15 Photos Quick take: The XC90 may be old now, but key updates and a timeless design ensure it's competitive as ever. The Scandinavian interior design appeal has never faded, and now the Google-based infotainment system is fresh and snappy. Even the Recharge PHEV is an awesome alternative with great range and strong electric motor.
