Nope, the NJ car has been on sale for about a year, and still is, it is silver (Dk's old car), this is Avus silver.

I wonder why it hasn't sold yet? I know it's done over 100k, but it's still a plus. And from what I've read and the pictures I've seen it's been looked after!

that car is MINT and mechanically perfect ... it had 1 owner from new, chap was on here, then me ... still had Audi warranty when I bought it and it had £3.5k of work on it and it was perfect

the only reason it hasnt sold is the price / mileage combo

god knows what its been doing for the last 15months at NJ

Thanks for the nice comments and lovely criticisim :P Yeah it is on KW v3 and that was the way the previous owner set it up. I like it, gives it a crouching look and a nice stance. The ride can be a little hard and i drive it like miss daisy when the wife and kids are in it. But soon as I'm on my own and giving it hell, the coilovers + Hotchkis Arbs are the nuts. Just need to watch out for those bastard potholes.

Other mods- Revo ECU remap (535bhp 730nm), Viper gearbox remap, Phaeton cooling ducts, Saloon aerial.... All carried out by Mr T. (am I missing anything Phil??)

Owned it for about 6 months haven't done anything to it apart from MRC Healthcheck, change of oil, changed fuel line. I did have a couple of grand earmarked for it back in March but was forced to blow it on something else instead.

I did check out that Plus with Nick Johnson around 8 months ago. Top car, but he wanted £18495 at the time and the mileage put me off. Something about 100k miles, psychological I suppose. :roll:

Well, it's a bloody lovely car. I couldn't take my eyes off it when I saw it. The photos do it no justice at all. Intresting it has a Viper TCU and Revo ECU, don't Revo do TCU remaps? Also, does it have upgraded downpipes too? Otherwise I cannot see how it has more then 500 BHP with just a remap...

The map's would have been through grizz and pretty sure revo didn't do gearbox mapping at the time.
Pretty sure MrT had full milltek fitted too Amar

Edit. Mine has more than 500 with just a remap. It supprised doug when it came off the rollers!
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.

Yep, sorry. I know 500-510 is doable on a map. I wish I had a bit more PS and less box killing torque 540 BHP and 800nm would do me fine, might get it tweaked.
