First off, let me start off the same way all these other ads start off. I do not have to sell this car. I own it outright, title in hand with no liens or debts of any kind. If it does not sell now I will hold onto it and think about selling it again in the spring.
I offer you today my 2003 DSG Cobra #4882. I have owned this car since 11/2013 and it has been treated like a baby ever since. There are more mods on this thing than I can even remember but I will do my best. I have probably 99% of it all logged in my build thread here...

Ok let's start.
I bought this car in pretty bad shape as a Steg 4 eaton car. After driving it home I took it right to Kevin Hand @ Wicked Motorsports for a check up. On the dyno it put down 485/454 and was given the stamp of health. After all the mods I took it to Frank Soldridge of PSI Speed Solutions. On the dyno it put down 660/585 and was once again given a clean bill of health. It was even featured as a tech article on here.
I have done almost everything to this car to get it restored and perfect but it needs some more love and I find myself not willing to put in the time anymore. As you will see from the Mods this car was built to be enjoyed and reliable. I researched every mod and only bought what I felt was the best blend of performance and comfort. From my build thread you can see I have fixed wheel bearings, wiring, leaks, etc to get this car back to where it should be. Nothing major but I wanted to drive this car wherever I wanted without having to worry about stupid nagging issues.... and damn it is so close. Guys like Blueline, France, NiceCobra, Bakerfish, and Torch3d can vouch for all the time, effort, and money put into this car. Someone is getting a good deal.

Wheels and Tires:

- Also have have factory 17's on decent tires as well.
**THE BAD**
- Hood has scratches from rubbing the garage door opener during the TVS install. You can tell it was repainted at some point because it doesn't match the fenders. It blends from 15/20 feet but you can see it if you are looking.
- It has dings and chips. Nothing hugely major but this is a driver not a museum piece. She cleans up very nice.
- The rear bumper has a small crease in the corner where the previous owner backed into something. Also, the bumper has melted slightly where the exhaust tip was leaning against it.
- Seats are in decent shape. Some wear on the bolster but it has not worn through. Alcantera could use a good cleaning.
- Third brake light is cracked, but it has vinyl tint over it so you can't really tell.
**THE WORST**
- Indiglo back lighting converter took a dump. I have the new one but have not yet installed it.
- Clutch has some mean chatter right now. We just installed new everything in there so I don't know if it needs some break in time or if the pilot bearing shifted during install and became unseated. Car drives fine but chatters while loading the clutch. I have lift time scheduled in October to pull it all out and inspect/check/replace it but I don't expect any major issues. Anyone who has worked on these cars knows its not that big of a deal just time consuming.
So on to the numbers.
As she sits right now, with all extras I have both listed and not --- $19,500
Without the RK's ------------------------------------------------------- $17,500
I do not want to part this car out, so I am not entertaining that right now. I am firm on prices so don't try. I am willing to talk trades for a good condition pontoon or preferably a tritoon. Lake only, 90HP minimum, 22-24 ft. Car is located in NJ on the border of PA.
