Let's get to it.Bought the car from my room mate in 99 in TX.It is a TX car originally.$13,370 sticker..basic info 124hp 2.0L fuel injection,FWD,sport transmission,Strut front,torsion rear,four disc brakes,Dual euro headlights,front and rear spoilers,Recaro seats,% speed manual,tornado red paint,Ac..He babied and adored it and all daily maintenance was up to par.I continued with this..Since I owned it I have had the top end done.I used a local garage and they did all this work but it was a bit to complicated for them,hands up in the air I took to an official VW shop and got it finished.Next was the transmission.My clutch disconnected and I was trying to dry shift it to get home.Should have stayed in first but I thought a second gear may get me home quicker.Well it didn't.New transmission from GEX and installed later and we were off and running.Had Brakes done,Put new TT exhaust on,fresh tires and shocks from Big O who was my neighbor who tuned the suspension proper.My work takes me in and out of state so this car has been stored most of my ownership.Inside mind you.Come back after a few years and needed a new fuel pump,Ran around stored again,Back into it drove it to colorado and on the way home she just died on me.Seemed the fuel system was the problem.Stored again and returned two years ago..take to mechanic with fuel system,injectors needing cleaning?and a Dry bearing sound.He takes the easy work of replacing the AC unit..but does not get it running!Cleans injectors etc..bolts all this back on to a compression ratio of #1=120 #2=120 #3=80 #4=120 or 100..I was on the understanding that we were to rebuild the engine he was on the understanding to screw me and run.Car was running when parked.And I have let it be till today.Again stored inside..I just don't have the good mechanics in this area to deal with this car.Nor the time and to many other projects..all of which I can work on due to my local garage climate..need my garage space so it's up for grabs to the right person.
The Good:No major accident ever,Thule racks minus the bike attachments in photo,Yokohama Tires have plenty of tread(New really),shocks suspension tuned with new tires,Low miles transmission,TT exhaust,Alpine pull out deck,Brakes have low miles,sunroof works fine,Recaro seats,Momo gear knob,Prime wheels,Tinted windows. The Bad:Passenger lock does not work,Prime wheels need steel wool or elbow grease compounds to get styled,missing rear right wheel prime cap,rear seats burnt along with my entire house,Rear window tint is falling off,Headliner falling down(how unusual for a vw)dash crack on top(normal)console has been cut for a radio that is no longer there,leather on steering wheel is worn on top,burn holes in seats(one or two each)still lovely sitting in Recaros,Plastics on car need to be played with but no dramas they are not flying off while driving,Rear hatch will not stay up on its own-needs viagra in the form of two new hydraulic hatch poles..has paint pealing off here,scratch here,dent there..but general the body is solid,hood paint seems to want to be a lighter red then the rest of the car.. The Ugly:ENGINE NEEDS REBUILD-This car is not running,no battery and has no warranty. The round out..Good cult classic,solid shell with all working components accept the engine.Looking for someone who knows or lives in an area that can get the work done.I would not be selling this if I had access to a proper mechanic.And I just don't have the time anymore,nor the room for it to do it another day.Otherwise she is worth the fix. Sold as is where is.I have a short window to sell this and get it out of here.Once the auction is done I need it gone,or we arrange to pick it up at another place at buyers expense.Be ready to roll!!Any questions ask them.I have explained this the best I can.It is obvious what it is and described accordingly.Few receipts pryer to me buying are about and all/most receipts when I have owned it are here.I am starting this listing at what I have paid the last mechanic who did the work.So if this was two years back..I would be giving this car away on the first bid.It's a fast fun car that should not be sitting any longer in my opinion.Needs to be out terrorizing the streets again. |

Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
