"The Boost Whale"
This magnificent beast is my daily driver, and my only car, so I'll be continuing to drive it. She's been cross-country three times. 163,XXX miles on the engine, ~50k miles on the build, and zero signs of quitting. This car is completely turn-key; it is a super car destroyer that flies so far under the radar that it turns heads only to those in the know, and ignored by everyone else. Blessing and a curse.
Pardon the ride height in the photos, but I live in Los Angeles and being forced to drive like you're on eggshells to avoid scraping isn't my idea of fun. This car has always been a function over form affair. If it functions the best and I can afford it, it gets it. You could ask me how low it goes, but I genuinely don't know, never looked into it.
You can ask me how she handles at the track and what it's like to slide all 4 trying to tackle Miatas in the twisties, that I can answer. It spools up fast and with the head work and methanol she'll scream til you hit redline and probably run out of road. At speed, you'll learn just how much bend a seemingly straight road has when going triple digits.
Quite possibly THE most annoying thing to me is that this car is SO normal and such a sleeper that I have a hard time getting GTR's and such to bite, but that's what a middle finger is for, or stickers, GTR's love attacking things with stickers. I was very skeptical about spending what I did on these brakes, but once she gets going these were a very obvious, very necessary purchase.
I have all receipts for the build. I wouldnt hesitate to take it anywhere. Oil changes every 3-5k miles depending on duty. Fuel economy is about 250-260 miles on a tank average. 330-340 just highway cruising 80+, <80mph with cruise, can get up to 400+ miles on a tank (Thanks to the TDI 6th). 17.5-28mpg range depending on how heavy your foot is.
Clean Title, in hand.
$17,900
I am pretty firm on this price, but still open to reasonable offers, as I am motivated to sell.
Test drives only to serious potential buyers please. Lowballs and rude comments will be mocked in private for the poor beta male self soothing they represent, THEN ignored.
May 15, 2018 ** Price Reduction.car is currently in the middle of getting a retune to accommodate current fuel pump set up. **
