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.

Toyota holds onto crown of World's Largest Automaker

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Although there were hints and allegations that the Volkswagen Group might have taken the global sales crown for 2014, the final tally puts Toyota at the top with 10.23 million sales in 2014. We should really say it keeps Toyota at the top, since that makes three years in a row the Japanese company has been No. 1. Volkswagen Group came in second with 10.14 million units sold, General Motors in third with 9.92 million units sold. This the first time for both Toyota and Volkswagen to pass 10 million sales in a single year. Toyota, including its Hino and Daihatsu divisions, did it with a three-percent increase in company-wide sales on the back of strong demand in Japan and the US. Its strength in developed markets might be the reason it loses the title this year, though; Toyota forecasts a two-percent gain in sales outside of Japan, but a nine-percent drop in its home market because of a new consumption tax that encouraged buyers to purchase before the end of last year. On top of that, turmoil in Southeast Asian economies like Thailand and Indonesia depressed sales in 2014 and they're facing more headwinds. The company envisions 10.15 million sales in 2015. Volkswagen, on the other hand, "has a jet engine strapped to its back called 'China,'" where Toyota is out-of-sorts. Volkswagen Group sales fell 2.9 percent in the US last year, while Toyota gained 6.2 percent here. But Volkswagen roped in 3.7 million sales in China, a 12-percent increase. Toyota enjoyed a huge bump of 12.5 percent in China, but that only got it to 1.03 million units, missing its yearly target and leading to trouble with its Chinese dealers over unsold inventory. With Toyota on the Chinese sidelines while Volkswagen guns for No. 1 status and pledges more production capacity in China – sales there are expected to top 25 million units this year – it looks like this could be the year the VW Group takes over the lead. That would be three years ahead of its original target of 2018. An analyst in Japan said Toyota is more focused on "keeping profitability than chasing numbers" – profitability is an issue for VW right now – so Toyota might not be back at the top "for [the] coming years."

Car Club USA: CleanMPG Northwest Rally

Tue, May 19 2015

Car Club USA heads to Los Angeles for the CleanMPG Northwest Rally, where a group of like-minded hypermiling enthusiasts led by Wayne Gerdes attempts to drive from Los Angeles, CA, to Bend, OR, on one tank of fuel. For this challenge, Wayne tapped some of the most accomplished hypermilers in the world, including Guinness World Record holder Bob Winger and Mike Sefton, "the most fuel efficient driver in all of Canada." It doesn't take long for the competition to get heated. "They're not aggressive enough, and it's not going to save them anything by being soft right now," says Gerdes as the group attempts to navigate the Interstate traffic. "Driving in Los Angeles is a hyper miler's nightmare," says Winger. The trip will challenge both car and driver, while putting the latest fuel-efficient tech to the test. Wayne is piloting the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen TDI, Sefton drives the Audi A3 TDI, and Winger attempts the trek in a Honda Accord Hybrid. It's diesel versus hybrid tech on this fuel-efficient trip of a lifetime. Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
