I had Turn-In Concepts install a new carpet ($250) when they were putting the interior back together.

All totaled that's about $20,000, not counting the initial price of the car. If you discount everything I did by 50% that would be about $18,000. I'm asking $16,000 (less than $500 over just the TiC invoice!).

I had the A/C vacuumed dry when I started all this and kept all the parts intact. I've yet to have it re-vacuumed/charged but it should work. This swap was intended to be a comfortable (as comfortable as KYBs and Advans can be ;-)), reliable, daily driver.

I lost the dyno sheet :-( but remember it being about 340 at 18PSI. You could drive it ALL day like that or turn it up, your choice. The stock tach goes to 8k, convenient for you since that is now the redline! Sure, the stock brakes are challenged by all the new power but that's where you get to personalize this build yourself, I've done all the hard (and expensive) work. And to top it off, I just got detailed today!

I forgot how many kilometers were on the swap, TiC will know. I'm waiting on them to reprint my dyno sheet too. Anyone local or who wants to come to town to check it out can meet me at Turn-In Concepts and they (TiC) can vouch for the swap/work/car in order to satisfy you, if needed. When they were done they told me "The car is awesome! So much fun to drive and very powerful."

Disclaimer: Home repairs are the motivation for the sale. I do not need help selling it, won't ship it, will sell it where is/as is, won't trade for anything, no joy rides, I'm not your mother, no low-ballers (I've pleaded my case), etc. etc. Cross-posted to RS25 as well.

I forgot to add that I have a stock rear sway bar with mounts and end links that will go with the car.

Default Dyno post-price update

I'm not sure where I had the previously posted dyno number from but here is the 3-pull sheet from last weekends dyno day at Turn-In Concepts. Price changed to reflect my mistake.

The car sounds pretty cool, but this Dyno sheet is a bit confusing. Hp/tq don't cross at 5250rpms(scaling?) and it looks like it is making more power than the 277 it says. Plus I thought it rev'd to 8K? Dyno pull only goes to 6?

It was a dyno day so they were cranking the cars out. I think they rev'd them all to only 6k. I think on the left, the lower lines are HP, and on the right the higher lines are HP, which matches the reported peaks.

A-year-has-gone-by-and-I-still-have-it-and-it-is-still-for-sale Bump

Add to the list of items: I bought used RS25 hubs, had new wheel bearing installed, brand new Powerstop rotors and calipers, and new e-brake cables with plans to swap out the rear drum brakes for disc brakes. My garage lift broke and is yet to be fixed so these parts have not been installed but will come with the car.
