First and Foremost: I DO NOT NEED TO SELL, IF YOU THINK MY PRICE IS TO HIGH FOR THE CONDITION ITS IN THATS YOUR OPINION KEEP IT TO YOURSELF

I bought it Feb10 with 35k on the clock from the original owner (Right at 50K now), car at the time had a KB 2.8 supposedly tuned right around 630 from James@RWTD on 100oct. I could not afford to run 100 at the time so downsized to a bigger pulley/93oct tune....in short if your not spinning the 2.8 around 21psi theres no need to have it so I downgraded, see mod list below

As far as the tick/knock goes, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR it has not been opened up to check, in short I took the catback off to swap and polish with another that I had, installed polished one and there the tick/knock/issue was. It still drives/runs like normal, I have not beaten on it since the issue was discovered. It has only been started and driven to the car wash to wash the dust off it from sitting in my storage unit.

The only other issues are:

The clearcoat is peeling right behind the driver side rear wheel

There is a chip in the paint on the hood from a rock that peeled further when I was washing it, it has been covered up with touch up paint

There is also a deep scratch on the hood

There is an indent of some sort on the front bumper, where it came from I have no idea, as well as your normal rock hits

Nice car but that noise sounds expensive. Hopefully it's not but it might be worth it to have it diagnosed so you ( and everyone else) has a better idea of what it's going to cost to fix. Glws either way.

Thanks for the concern, it could be a simple rod bearing fix or something of that sort

or someone could just fork out the money for a tousley longblock which was my plan before getting laid off, which is why I couldnt afford to have it looked at/torn into

Perfect Color, Perfect location...motor a bit scary

Ugh....I have a DSG Mach 1 right now, and I really been looking for a DSG Cobra in the Midwest (I live in Iowa). Only thing scaring me is the tic in the motor....
