A4 DTM Edition (1 of 250 in RHD)
I am selling my DTM because I need to free up some cash, and I don’t use it much. I have an 8V A3 as a daily. It's only done about 3000 miles this year.
The car has had lots of time and money spent getting it to the spec it is today. Standard options include heated half leather half Alcantara seats and steering wheel, heated power fold door mirrors , RNSE sat nav with BOSE, multi-function steering wheel, automatic windscreen wipers and lights, cruise control, auto-dimming interior mirror, Audi Bluetooth telephone. Dual-zone climate control.

Engine is fully forged with Wossner 83mm pistons, IE Tuscan rifle drilled rods with ARP bolts, 06A oil pump (1.8T) conversion removing a weak point on the TFSI engine, 06A oil filter housing and breather, Fluidyne silicon damper. Autotech HPFP, RS4 in-tank lift pump, S3 injectors, secondary 1.8T 180BHP injectors in INA custom intake manifold. PAG parts V-band exhaust manifold with Tial 38mm wastegate and Owen developments GTX2860r turbo. 3” stainless downpipe into Powerflow custom exhaust. Custom intercooler and hard pipes. It has a sachs stage 2 performance organic clutch and OEM LUK DMFW.

AP coilovers, poly flex bushes, uprated front and rear ARB, Forge motorsport 356mm 6pot front brakes and braided lines. Cades Berns 19x8” wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. All recent tyres with lots of thread
The engine was built ~35k miles ago and has been perfect, it uses no oil and was last serviced in March 2022 when the HPFP bucket was checked and had no wear. At the moment it runs about 22psi boost as the additional injectors are not connected. This turbo can push this fully built engine a fair bit more if you wanted to take it further. Its very quick as it is though.

In the last 12 months, its had new front window regulators. A new battery, new front Pads (Forge organic ones for this brake kit). Its had a DIY service (in March 2022 about 600 miles ago) using OEM parts (Plugs, filters all round, and engine oil).

Its done 106k miles (which may increase slightly) and has a long MOT.

Last week it had the new clutch and flywheel fitted.
It has no faults or problems. The body and interior are immaculate. It has no corrosion. It drives really nicely and smoothly. The only issues are the wheels have lacquer peel so could do with a refurb. And the front splitter has some lacquer peel where its stone chipped and water has got under. The splitter itself is not damaged.
I’ve been quoted £150 to re-lacquer the splitter and £200 to refurbish the wheels.

It has an Aux input fitted which I plug a Bluetooth receiver into for music from my phone. The Bose sound system still sounds brilliant.

I also have a garret core GTX35 turbo which will fit if you wanted to take it to an extreme, I will include this turbo in the sale. It was removed because whilst it creates a lot of power (650+ BHP with the secondary injectors wired up too) it is quite big so it’s quite laggy.
I also have the original DTM front grill which will be included.

Sorry yes I see it now and yes I built the car, the memory seat switch isn’t wired in as I’m sure you already know

To be honest I never tried to use it. I'm the only driver of the car so had no need for it. So no I didn't realise that.

I saw that it was lit up, but had no interest in using it.
I've just confirmed now, when you hold memory and a number you don't get the click to say it's stored the positions, so yeah it's not wired up as you say.

I also presume the other Turbo I have is the 'HTA3076 turbo' (Owens developments?) and not a GT35 as I was told?

Just to add (for the advert):
The electric seats work as they should, just not the memory feature.
The pistons in the advert are correct, they were upgraded since the ones in @Lizard-Racing Signature.
