2010 Obsidian Black Pearl STI - Amazing Daily Driver - Built

The time has come for me to sell my baby. This car is in pristine condition! The only reason I am selling is because my company is helping pay for a new car (2015 Audi S3). Every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears that have gone into this car has been to improve both its performance and reliability without sacrificing how practical it is. This car is designed to be a daily driver, so it's been upgraded to last - and really intended to be as close to a Cosworth CS400 as I could get it. I'm a set it and forget it kind of guy, so all the work done is headache free (no clunking, no vibrations, no super harsh ride, & no worry about breaking things). Honestly, being that I'm borderline OCD, this is how the car should have come from the factory! Car includes almost all original parts, a forged motor, Cobb Accessport + custom dyno tunes, 3 sets of tires, brand new brakes & clutch, completely upgraded sound system, & tons of extra goodies. $26,500

Contact me via PM and I will get back to you ASAP.

I'm a nerd about unboxing parts - just some I could find

 

Updated Status: Found the clutch was a bit juddery engaging first gear after someone test drove it. Had it looked at - everything checks out, but I decided to replace it. Don't want any potential buyer to deal with it, even if it was only a hotspot on the flywheel.

Not too mad at the guy, just disapointing... Needless to say, will be supervising future test drives. Install Monday.

Good news for buyer I suppose - Brand new Exedy OEM Replacement Clutch Kit (EXE FJK1000)

 

Beautiful car! GLWS

 

looks mean, hows the audi? thinking about going that route also

 

Nice car. GLWS!

FWIW, Might also be nice to add compression test numbers for potential buyers too.

 

The S3 is a fantastic car, but it hasn't arrived yet. I special ordered a panther black one, and so far no updates from the dealership. Honestly recommend test driving one if you haven't. I was intending to go with an S4 and a manual - swore against DCT's. That MQB chassis is awesome though, much more athletic feel to it than the S-Tronic in the S4 (which I hated).

Haha, as soon as I get done replacing the clutch I'll look into that. I've never recorded the numbers down for others to see, but I have had it compression tested before the dyno tuning and the numbers looked great. I'll check with RS Motors, pretty sure they might have something on record.

Just realized I'm missing a ton of photos...

 

Haha, thanks! I like to keep it professional.

 

OK, so those first pictures were supposed to be followed by these photos - which are the most recent pictures with the S206 side-skirts. Those first set were from summer time with much better lighting. Was hard to get good lighting with the glare, but I think these came out ok.

Recent phots:








shot to show condition of wheels - they are in great shape. Note: someone pointed out that the rear left shot below appears to have spray on the bumper - that is actually the reflection of the asphault =P. She got hand waxed that day.

car looks great, glws! hopefully it goes to a fellow enthusiast and forum member.

 

Ya, I hope so. I have too many parts & records & planning put into this car to have the average Joe appreciate it. I seriously used to get bored and just spend money on random things for this car, really because I had nothing better to do. Sad, sorta, but awesome too haha .

This wold be the perfect car for someone that wants the bullet proof daily driver, or someone that wants to go big. In fact, I often thought about throwing money at this for big power. Frankly, this car would be freaknasty with a stock location Dominator or rotated kit.

 

Clutch is done today. Now for some Granny break in driving.

 

beautiful car! good luck with the sale.

 

Why did you steal photos from Alex Bellus and then blur out his watermark?

 

HaHa, those photos are not stolen from Alex. I was standing next to him while he took the rear profile shot and I asked - stated that I would love to use if I decide to sell. He doesn't care - he told me to find them on C&C wesbite.

I blurred the watermark on the first photo since Autotrader put up a fuss about publishing it as the primary. The second photo shouldn't be out of focus or blur'd, but looking closer that's not the right photo I used in my listing...

Autotrader is as follows:





I can appreciate what you're pointing out. Just know, though I'm not on a first name basis with Alex, I've spoken to him many times at Cars & Coffee and he took no issue with me using these. I suppose I could show the original first photo with a little more confidence on this site... but after some unwanted attention from scammers trolling my Photobucket through Nasioc, I had to hastily go and test methods for covering any private info. I don't believe the second photo is intentionally blur'd on the watermark.

 

On a completely unrelated note, anyone need a decent kidney for $26,500?

 

Ever been tracked? haha

 

Kidney oil change every 3k miles? You better not have used Mobile 1!!!

 

Only the finest Four Loko.

 

It's Monday morning, it's so cold my man parts are freezing off, and I keep thinking how dumb the Oscars were last night. I feel like I just replayed all the superbowl commercials in a row.

 

New photo I took organizing records.

 

haha, gotta make room in my garage as it is. I don't have room as it is for all the parts.

Ya, if I had built this car from the factory, I probably would have done WRB. You just gotta see this thing in first hand when it's cleaned up, it's just special. I get a lot of Q&A when I go to C&C, especially about the paint condition and tail lights.

 

Ya, it can be a super big pain to keep her clean. Mud Flaps were a MUST. I didn't like the rear mudflaps though - apparently my car literally looked like it had mini-capes flapping around behind it lol.

 

Rally armor issues...
Rokblokz are stiff and don't flap like that... Good for thought

 

Ya, that's definitely the brand I'd go for in the future. At the same time, with this gen STI, I found I really didn't like the look of any rear MF.

 

Most common question I get: is the price negotiable?

Ya, I can work on the price. It may change what I'm willing to include with the car, but 26,500 is negotiable.

Please don't lowball me though.
