Sadly it's time to sell my (car) baby as I have a (human) baby on the way - for sale is my no expense spared 2012 Audi TTRS.
A detailed listing is featured on my blog, as is a ton of detail about the car over my 3+ years of ownership, which you can find here: https://nickscarblog.com/featured-rides/for-sale-my-big-turbo-8j-audi-ttrs
My hope is to find an enthusiast who will enjoy the car as much as I did, and finds the modifications desirable and want the car as-is. At this time, I’m not entertaining any offers on parts except for the custom forged HRE wheels which I have listed here on AZ, so please don't PM me about a part out!
Key highlights:
Full motor build with upgraded internals, big turbo kit and upgraded clutch done by Iroz Motorsports in March 2019 at an expense of $11K; dyno proven gains show a little over 500 whp!
Just 7K miles since the motor build and a mere 41.5K on the chassis and rest of the car – extremely low mileage for a 2012
Fully documented service history with every receipt while owned. Recent PPI confirmed no outstanding issues and recent maintenance in 2020 includes oil change, spark plugs, battery and new intake manifold cover.
Car has a Xpel Clear Bra over entire front clip, is fully ceramic coated, and has a recently resprayed bottom splitter and side skirt to remove any scraping on underside of car – exterior is a 9.5/10
Unique and tasteful mods including 034 Motorsport handling mods, MSS Kits springs, oCarbon trim, etc.
The car has been meticulously maintained, always garaged (both work and home are indoor garages) and lived its entire life in the Southwest with no exposure to snow, salt, or anything but sunshine and occasional rain.
Motor Build & Performance
In March 2019 a full teardown and rebuild of the engine was conducted by famed five cylinder tuning shop Iroz Motorsports in Las Vegas.
As you can see in the dyno sheet (https://i1.wp.com/nickscarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/NICK-B-XR-HYBRID-8J.jpg?resize=900%2C440&ssl=1) it now does 500.2 WHP and 503.7 FT/LB of torque, although this was before the downpipes and exhaust were modified so the actual figure is larger with these mods installed (check with your local laws, however this car recently passed smog and is fully CA legal as it sits now).
The build took nearly six months to complete due to how backlogged Iroz is with new projects; to recreate this build you should expect to pay $11,468.48 and take approximately 4-6 months to complete, maybe longer given how Coronavirus has brought the global supply chain to a halt. You can see the receipt for the build here... (https://nickscarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Invoice_1331_from_Iroz_Motorsport_LLC.pdf)
The motor build included a bored block, custom Mahle pistons, IE connecting rods, ACL rod bearings, ARP studs, a Xona Rotor Hybrid 600 turbo kit, Autotech HPFP, Sachs Clutch, Forge Motorsport Race Intercooler, and United Motorsport tune.
Since the rebuild a mere 7,000 miles have been put on the car without a single issue. In my opinion this is long enough to bring any issues to bear, but not so long that the motor isn’t near-new. I have checked for oil consumption religiously and have never even had to top off the oil, something that is fairly common for built engines.
The tune is by United Motorsport and can be adapted via VAG-COM for 91, 93 or E35 Ethanol blend depending on what’s available where you live. For an additional cost I can include a VAG-COM to switch the tune, or switch it for you myself prior to the new owner taking delivery to the ethanol and max boost settings of your choice. The tune also features launch control (never used by me, but it’s there if you want it), no lift shift (also never used), and on-going updates from any UM dealer.
I have changed the oil every 3K miles using their recommended oil and replaced the spark plugs last month so that the engine was ready for its new owner.
Removed from the car but included in purchase is a set of secondary cat bypass pipes that were removed for the car to pass CA Smog.
The engine was recently inspected by North County Independent Audi & VW and confirmed to have a clean bill of health.
In addition to a new battery, spark plugs, and oil change, the intake manifold cover was replaced due to a small vacuum leak.
Exterior Condition & Modifications
There no noticeable flaws or defects as I recently had the lower front splitter resprayed along with the driver’s side side skirt to remove damage on the underside.
The front end was clear bra’d using Xpel which cost a little over $1,500 and is holding up well other than some tearing in the front. I chose to leave it on since it was still protecting the car but if it bothers you then I can look into getting it replaced at an additional cost.
The entire car was paint corrected and ceramic coated when I took ownership at 20K miles and has been pampered. I’m a former detailer by trade and took meticulous care of this car.
Additional modifications include clear corners and a carbon fiber rear badge. OSIR carbon fiber rear valance and wing are available for an additional cost.
Suspension & Wheels
The car will come with the stock 19" rotor wheels with Continental tires. I have sold the HREs! It is lowered on MSS Kits suspension (Street / Comfort spring rate) but also have Track Package rear springs if you want to firm up the ride for track or auto-x.
Additionally, the brakes have been thoroughly upgraded including Girodisc two-piece rotors (almost $3K new and less than 10K miles on them), EBC Red Stuff pads (way less dust!), stainless steel lines, and extra brake dusting…I also painted them red for style points.
Additional Suspension modifications include
MSS Kits – Adjustable Street Kit
034 Motorsport Shifter Cable Bushings
034 Motorsport Dogbone Mount Insert
034 Motorsport Rear Subframe Mount Insert
034 Motorsport Stainless Steel Brake Lines
034 Motorsport Rear Sway Bar
Girodisc two-piece lightweight rotors (F&R)
EBC Red Stuff Brake Pads
Motul RBF600 Brake Fluid
Carbon Fiber Brake Ducts
Stock parts are included in the sale including springs, rotors, pads, sway bar, shifter cable bushings and even the brake lines, although I have no idea why you’d replace the latter!
Interior Condition and Modifications
The interior of this car is relatively stock. I have added oCarbon dash trim throughout the car, but the rest of my mods have been reverted back to stock. Luckily the OEM interior on this car is quite lovely, as Audi has always been known for nailing it with their timeless interiors. The most important part of the interior, of course, is that lovely six speed manual. Good luck finding that in most cars anymore!
Asking Price & Options
My asking price is $37,000 OBO on stock wheels!
In this mileage and condition the KBB value of the car is $31,575 to $35,643, then add approximately $20K of modifications, then $37K is a great value. If you check out other TTRSs on CarGurus, Autotrader, etc. similar mileage TTRS are listed in the high 30s or even low 40s with not nearly as well of a service history, modification and maintenance records, and I've seen other Stage 3 builds listed here around the same price but most were APR (not as good IMO), had twice as many miles, and questionable or unknown history.
