I have for sale my 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit GTi.  It has an aba block swap with a 1.8v head and it has a turbo, boosting 6psi.  I bought the car already with the swap and the turbo installed so I don't how much about the swap, mileage of the motor or any detail pertaining to the swap.  What I do know is that this car will bring a smile to your face when you step on it and the turbo kicks in.  Its a fun car to drive to say the least.

Mechanically speaking the car runs good.  Its starts right up every time with no issue.  The fuel tank needs to be replaced or the hose that's inside the tank needs to be replace as it dies every time I make a right turn when the tank is less than half, if your familiar with this cars you'll know that its common thing on vw's  those years.  I just keep the tank full. Also the car sometimes cuts of at 4500 rpms. Its probably the timing so I'll be timing it with a timing light in the next few days.  Other than that the car runs well.

Body is in the decent shape for the year.  Its the original paint and its mainly straight with just a couple dents and very little surface rust, see pics.  Overall in good shape for the year, will not need much body work.

Interior is also good,  it has the full Recaro front and back seats off a '92 GLi and they are in good shape without any tears.  They could use a good cleaning but that's it.  Door panels are good with no tears, a few cracks on the top cover. Roof panel is great, not sagging and the dome light turns on when you open either door as well as the trunk light.  Dash was replace so its not the original and the bezels that go around the radio and heater/ac controls is missing.  No radio or a/c. Front windshield has a crack on passenger side, rest of the glass is good. Speedometer does not work and rpms work sometimes.  Original steering wheel include in sale.

Suspension it has Neuspeed lowering springs and stock struts in front and kyb shocks in back, however one of the rear shocks is leaking and would need to be replaced.

Please keep in mind that this is almost 30 year old car and its not perfect.  I would consider this a project but a running one and it can also be a daily driver.  It is definitely a car worth restoring.  Those were my plans but things have change in my life and so have the plans for this baby.  My daily is an Audi TT and I enjoy driving this GTi as much as I do my TT, some people don't get it but it't true.  Car is currently registered with current tags until the end of this month.  I would love to keep it but at this time its not possible.

I have described the car to the best of my knowledge and I might have forgotten somethings.  I'll keep updating this post.  The car is being sold as is where is with no guarantee or warranty express or implied. If you are interested and have questions feel free to call or text me at 915-503-8427, you can also contact me through ebay.

Buyer is responsible for arraigning transportation at their expense.  Car is located in Heber City, UT.  If you are in the area and want to come and check it or want to send someone to inspect it feel free to contact me to set a time.

Recharge Wrap-up: Audi's EV SUV to be built in Brussels, Mercedes-Benz to extend EV range

Thu, Jan 21 2016

European Union Industry Commissioner Elzbieta Bienkowska is demanding that Volkswagen compensate owners of cars affected by the diesel emissions scandal. She says European customers should receive the same goodwill compensation as American drivers, whom VW is providing with $1,000 worth of recompense. "The issue of compensation goes beyond the difference in the legal setup between the US and the EU and plays a fundamental role in viewing VW as a responsible and trustworthy company," says Bienkowska in a letter to Volkswagen CEO Matthias Mueller. Bienkowska has also requested detailed data about the vehicles and "corrective measures" VW is planning. Read more from Automotive News Europe. Mercedes-Benz will equip its plug-in vehicles with higher-capacity batteries as it expands its electric model range. While the PHEVs it has released so far have electric driving ranges between 14 and 20 miles, better batteries should extend that range starting around model years 2018 or 2019. After releasing a slew of plug-ins by the end of next year, Mercedes-Benz development director Dr. Thomas Weber says, "The next-generation vehicle will overcome the 30-km to 50-km hurdle and then the next generation after that will be 80-100 km when they run as pure electric cars." Read more at Green Car Reports, or from Motoring. Audi will build its pure electric SUV at its plant in Brussels, Belgium. The batteries for the vehicle based on the Audi E-Tron Quattro concept (perhaps to be called the Q6) will also be built at the Brussels plant when production begins in 2018. With this announcement comes news that production of the A1 will shift from Brussels to Martorell, Spain, while Q3 production will move from Spain to Gyor Hungary. Audi says the Brussels facility will "become a key plant for electric mobility at the Volkswagen Group." Read more at Green Car Congress, or in the press release below. Audi production network: ready for electric mobility - Premium manufacturer to produce large series of electric cars in Brussels as of 2018 - New models for Martorell (Spain) and Gyor (Hungary) - Audi CEO Rupert Stadler: "We are increasing our efficiency and bundling key competencies" Audi is preparing its international production network for the mobility of the future. Large series production of the first purely electric driven SUV from Audi will begin at the site in Brussels in 2018. The plant will also produce its own batteries.

CARB found another emissions-defeating device, this time from Audi

Mon, Nov 7 2016

The California Air Resources Board has discovered another emissions-cheating device on an Audi earlier this summer, reports German newspaper Bild am Sonntag. The device is different from the software found in the VW Group's diesel-powered engines, as it alters the way the cars' automatic transmission shifts. The latest device, according to Bild am Sonntag, measures how far the cars' steering wheel is being turned. If the wheel is turned less than 15 degrees, indicating that the vehicle is being tested in laboratory conditions, a program in cars with certain automatic transmissions changes the way the gearbox shifts. The change in the transmission allows the engine to produce less carbon dioxide than when driving in normal conditions. When the wheel is turned more than 15 degrees, the program automatically turns off, claims Bild am Sonntag. The paper reports that Audi took the software out of its vehicles, which was used in both diesel- and gasoline-powered vehicles in Europe and the US, earlier this May after CARB discovered the program on one of the automaker's older cars. Several engineers that were connected with the emissions-cheating device have already been suspended, reports Bild am Sonntag. As the German newspaper points out, the device, which is fitted to certain Audis with an automatic transmission, is different from the cheat devices found on the automaker's 3.0-liter TDI turbodiesel V6 engine and Volkswagen's 2.0-liter turbodiesel motor, even those were also designed to beat emissions tests. The 3.0-liter engine is found in the Audi Q7, Volkswagen Touareg, and Porsche Cayenne models. Audi didn't immediately respond to our request for a comment.

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
