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
  • EVO MS FMIC (Front Mount Intercooler)
  • Audi 2.7T Throttle Body Upgrade

  • 034 MS custom tune 91 Octane (Tuned on 4 wheel drive Dyno)
  • 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)


DRIVETRAIN:

  • Sachs Stage 3 clutch and lightened flywheel
  • Synthetic fluids in drivetrain
  • Urethane Snub Mount

  • Eibach sports springs
  • Eibach Sway bars front and back


INSTRUMENTATION:

  • Wideband 02 sensor Installed
  • EGT sensor installed

  • Rear view  Mirror is new - non auto dimming
  • Sunroof Switch
  • Front Door Speakers 
  • Brakes Master Cylinder
  • Stereo Head Unit (OEM) 
  • Fresh Interstate Battery 
  • Fresh Oil and filter


Other Upgrades:

  • Tinted Windows - $250
  • 17" Audi Factory Rims w/ Continental DW Summer Tires - installed on vehicle now
  • 15" Audi Factory Rims w/ Toyo M&S tires (will be in rear of car)


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.

Race Recap: 2013 Griffin King of the Hammers, and notes from a dry lake bed [w/video]

Mon, 11 Feb 2013


It was a local guy from 90 miles away who beat them all...
The image above shows 129 Ultra4 racing rigs lined up for the start of the 2013 Griffin King of the Hammers. In case you missed Part One that explains why they're there and why they might be doing the most difficult and absurd one-day off-road race in the world, check it out. After a week of races in other events and two days of qualifying for the big show, the men and women who made it in were lined up to do three laps of a course around the 140,000-acre Johnson Valley OHV area in California's San Bernardino County.

Which will Dieselgate hurt more, Volkswagen or US diesels?

Tue, Sep 22 2015

The most damning response to the news Volkswagen skirted emissions regulations for its diesel models may have actually come from the Los Angeles Times. On Saturday, the Times published an editorial titled "Did Volkswagen cheat?" The answer was undoubtedly yes. When you can't drive down Santa Monica Boulevard without seeing an average of one VW TDI per block, the following words are pretty striking: "... Americans should be outraged at the company's cynical and deliberate efforts to violate one of this country's most important environmental laws." VW has successfully cultivated a strong, environmentally conscious reputation for its TDI Clean Diesel technology, especially in states where emissions are strictly controlled. A statement like that is like blood all over the opinion section of the Sunday paper. The effect on VW's business, even Germany's financial health, was already felt Monday when the company's shares plummeted 23 percent in morning trading. The statement on Sunday from VW CEO Dr. Martin Winterkorn says "trust" three times. That probably wasn't enough in nine sentences. Writers over the weekend have compared VW's crisis to one at General Motors 30 years ago, when it was the largest seller of diesel-powered passenger cars until warranty claims over an inadequate design and ill-informed technicians effectively pulled the plug on the technology at GM. In a sense, VW is in the same boat as GM because it has fired a huge blow into its own reputation and that of diesels in passenger cars. And just as automakers like Jaguar Land Rover, BMW and, ironically, GM, were getting comfortable with it again in the US. VW of America was already knee-deep in its other problems this year. Its core Jetta and Passat models are aging and it needs to wait more than a year for competitive SUVs that American buyers want. The TDIs were the only continuous bright spot in the line and on the sales charts. Even as fuel prices fell and buyers shunned hybrids, VW managed to succeed with diesels and show that Americans actually care about and accept the technology again. Fervent TDI supporters might actually lobby for that maximum $18 billion fine to VW. I've personally convinced a number of people to look at a TDI instead of a hybrid. Perhaps not so much for stop-and-go traffic, but I know buyers who liked the idea that a TDI drove like a normal car and wasn't packed with batteries.

Next-gen Audi A4 spotted

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

With fresh entries from Lexus and Mercedes-Benz and a newer entry from BMW, Audi is in a rather precarious position with its A4 sedan, which has been on sale in its current form since 2008 (aside from its 2012 mid-cycle refresh). It's high time a new vehicle takes its place.
If Audi follows convention, the vehicle shown above will be known internally as the B9, and will ride atop the so-called MLB Evo, a new version of the modular platform underpinning the current A4 (and a whole heap of other Volkswagen Group products). That new bit of hardware should bless the next-gen A4 with a weight savings of anywhere from 175 to 220 pounds.
In terms of its looks, our spies point to a more evolutionary approach. Expect the A4 to borrow from the design being pioneered by the third-generation Audi TT, particularly around the grille, which should be more upright. The wheelbase should get a stretch while Audi will clip the overhangs of its midsizer, relative to the current sedan.
