Passat 1.8t - boost - dropped - cheap

Featured Replies

I'm desperately trying to save for a wedding and as much as I love this thing I need something cheap to run really.

It's a 1.8t AEB lump which is good for 26psi on 122k

Tax is up next month but may re tax and MOT is up September 2013

Lot of service history, 2 keys

Good Points:

Lowered on eBay coilovers. Rear adjusters removed and spring sears. Springs secured in place.

Respray a year a go in monster crackle black texture paint. Smooth coverage, not your usual crap matt black finish

All arms were done by a previous at a cost of £400 and has a 4 year warranty

2 month old calibre vintage rs reps. 8j front 9j rear with 215/45/18 tyres all round which are also 2 months old.

FMIC kit with hard piping. Bumper grilles removed to show cooler

GISMO Digi boost controller and gauge. 4 programmable boost settings. Blue backlit display.

THS Decat. Rest of the system is standard but no rot/blows

eBay recirc dv

Remapped ecu

Running approx 20psi

US front plate blank. Motorbike plate secured to front bumper

Amber sides

Gold OMP copy wheel

Aux head unit

Full B5.5 sport interior

Bad Points:

Clutch is high and is starting to slip ever so slightly. This doesn't affect driving at all and this thing still flies!

The paint is coming away slightly in a couple places. Will get photos

Front bumper cable tied

Cv boot has split due to being low I imagine. Just knocks on lock ever so slightly

Front arch lips have been mole gripped due to lows

That's about it. I will miss this car and I won't be letting it go for just anything.

Very much open to px and swap offers.

£1500

haha cheers man. Can't seem to find a car and keep it, regardless of how much i may love it.

In other news, i turned the boost down a touch today and the clutch is no longer sleeping as it seems it was overboost rather than clutch slip :)

Also cleaned it this weekend (ignore the patchiness, it hadnt totally dried):
