    all of those mods listed above barley have 2,000 km's on them its all mostly new. when i build this car i just wanted the best stuff i could get for it and so i did.

    here are some pictures:









    i can get more pictures by request.

    thats all i can think of right now, it took me straight 7 months to build this car and i dont regret any minute ive invested into it. its a very fast and fun car, gets alot of attention and won the award of "Best Golf" at DTP.

    so let me know what you guys think would be a fair asking price.

    thank you

      12k? I would take off the turbo, wheels, system and other easily removable **** if you have time to. It sucks but parting out mods is the only way to get any reasonable amount of money back.

          Nice ride man. I have never seen it before.

          I'd imagine you could get 12-13G's. Give it time and the right buyer will come around.

            Not sure but it's too bad you didn't put it up for sale a month ago.

              haha no offence taken, i dont know her name but its just some random model from the dtp show :P

              i was thinking around that suggested price range, even though it costed me much more, some times you have to lose on project cars i guess.

              Tuna: my car/s are always for sale even though it is not listed:P i always look for a change and if the right offer comes around, why not? haha

              forgot to mention: ive ran this car at race city once with the small t3 super 60 turbo, the heavy wheels and system etc, and i managed a 14.9 at 95 mph with some tranny issues (couldnt get it into 2nd gear, so 1st to 3rd)...this car is capable of high 13's now im sure of it....and who is to say that a aba turbo is not worth it? :P

                    11-12K

                    You should part it out maybe, if you can line up buyers.
