Here's my baby and she's for sale.
I just don't have the time to take care of her anymore and I'd rather see her go to someone that can take the time to enjoy her more than I can. Don't like the price? Feel free to make me an offer, the worst thing that can happen is I say no (and depending on how low the offer is it may make me sad too but oh well right!) Here are some details for now, I may add more later as I remember them, if you have ANY questions or want more pictures PLEASE do not hesitate to ask! * Just built 2017cc engine built by the Great Paul Ripa of JBBugs (www.jbbugs.com) he knows his stuff, been around forever and a half, and also road races his own car. Engine still has under 150 miles on it. Here are some details of the engine: - CB Supercase AS41 90.5mm fully flowed Magnesium case (yes, the discontinued ones that everyone and their Mother wants) - Eagle racing 2288 camshaft - 78.4mm CB Forged 4340 Chromoly counterweighted crank (8 dowelled, balanced) - CB Uni-tech HD Plus I-beam rods with HD bolts - 90.5mm AA pistons and cylinders - Mini D port heads that Pat Downs from CB Performance set up for me. He did a 2 angle valve job, 4 angle valve seat job, new valve guides, new valves, new retainers, installed and set the new VW650 springs and fly cut them to 58cc (which gives me 8.6:1 compression with a 0.050" deck height). - Custom made head studs, Chromoly 4140, 8mm threads, 9mm shaft - 12.5 lbs flywheel - DRD Racing Chromoly racing Gland nut - CB breather tower - Weber 44 IDF carbs - CB hex bar linkage - 51 amp alternator - German valve covers - Gene Berg 1.5qt deep sump - A1 Sidewinder - CB ultralight 28mm lifters - Manton Chromoly pushrods (0.058" wall thickness) - CB 1493 VW650 Dual Springs - Stainless steel windage push rod tubes - Schadek 26mm oil pump with cover - Daikin clutch disc - Kennedy stage 1 pressure plate - Billet distributor clamp - Billet alternator pulley with matching hex nut - 8mm Spiro-Pro plug wire set - JayCee mag oil sump plate - Gene Berg 6lb Equalizer pulley - Mallory Unilite distributor - Magnum straight cut gears - CB 1.3:1 rocker arms and solid shaft Engine is in the car and runs and drives, however it still needs to be tuned right. Right now I think it's too rich on the bottom end (idle jets) I'm using 60 idles, 160 mains, 200 air and 50 pump jets with F11 emulsion tubes and 36mm venturis. The car bogs down a little when warm and below ~3500 RPM at part throttle. I have the timing set at about 30 degrees max advance with grey/grey springs. Running BP6ES spark plugs. * New KCR Superstreet Plus transmission (has less than 110 miles on it). - Super diff - Heavy Duty side cover - Welded third and fourth - Steel forks - 4.12 Klindenberg R&P - 3.78 first gear - 0.82 fourth gear - Chromoly pinion retainer * Canton Mecca oil filter * Mesa remote oil cooler (in addition to stock doghouse one) * New Bosch autostick starter * CB electric fuel pump * OEM NOS VW/Bosch Euro headlights with correct chrome rings (extra set of correct NOS rings also included) * NOS Bumper strips front and rear * Front Euro disc brake spindles * Rear converted to Type 3 rear brakes (used NOS drums) * Full set of VDO gauges (tach, oil pressure, oil temp, ammeter, cylinder head temp) * New never installed Innovate Motorsports 3488 MTX-L A/F gauge * Zeitronix A/F system (needs a laptop or additional SD card reader to use it) * NOS dash pad * Gray tweed/black vinyl interior * Black/Gray carpets * Rubber floor mats * Gene Berg shifter with vintage grip handle * Kochs restored steering wheel * Topline versa struts * Topline front tie bar * Topline front swaybar and suspension parts * Steering box, tie rods and bushings all replaced * KYB white rear shocks * Sway-A-Way rear torsion bars * Urethane spring plate bushings * HD trans mounts, mid mount and rear strap * MSD-6AL with adjustable rev limiter * Kenwood KDC-X995 head unit (top of the line, bluetooth, pandora, etc etc etc) with 6.5" front speakers, two rear tweeter and two subs with 4 way amplifier * Hirshmann antenna * Optima battery * 4.5" front and 5.5" rear wheels * New matching tires (Yokohama Avid Envigor, 175/65/15 front 205/60/15 rear) * Pop out windows * Original spare with bias ply tire There's obviously more I just can't think of it right now. I also have a bunch of spare parts, door panels, two German doors, German decklid, suspension parts etc etc all those parts are also included in the sale. The paint is not in the best shape, there are cracks and dings here and there, but it's a presentable car and turns heads everywhere I drive it (just drove it today and got tons of thumbs up). I will also include (IF you want them) all the trophies the car has received for the last 14 years I have owned it, 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies at several shows across California (it's a California car I brought along with me to Florida when I moved here) and Florida shows. I also have a tow bar I will include if you need it. I also have a box of receipts and paperwork since around 2000, and a logbook/journal that I kept for the car. Mileage is not actual. Here's a video I made a couple of weeks ago (I know the oil cap is off, I had just changed the oil and was doing the first start after the oil change): https://www.dropbox.com/s/fi34e0qo1ttl3pb/20131107_170618.mp4 Let me know if you have any questions or need any more pictures or details, or would like to come inspect the car. |

Volkswagen completes design work on new EV platform
Tue, Jan 10 2017Volkswagen has completed the design work for its modular, MEB platform that's geared specifically for electric-vehicle production, Automotive News Europe says, citing comments Volkswagen development head Frank Welsch made at CES in Las Vegas last week. Additionally, VW's Skoda and Seat divisions may use that platform for their own plug-in vehicle models. VW's Audi division is also considering employing the platform, though adoption by Volkswagen's Porsche unit is unlikely. VW expects to start selling its first model specifically designed as an EV (i.e., not converted from existing conventional models such as the Golf and Up!) by 2020. Welsch added that the MEB platform may be used as a base for updated electrified versions of Golf, Tiguan, and Passat. Meanwhile, Skoda will debut as many as five plug-in models by 2025. Europe's largest automaker is looking to further distance itself from the 2015 scandal that involved software that cheats diesel-emissions testing efforts and has cost the company more than $15 billion in US settlements alone. All told, VW and its divisions expect to debut as many as 30 plug-in vehicle models within the next decade. Volkswagen unveiled its I.D. concept vehicle, which is based on the MEB platform and looks somewhat like the BMW i3 electric-vehicle model, at last year's Paris Motor Show. VW said at the time that the vehicle could go as far as 373 miles on a single charge. Additionally, VW will show off an electric SUV concept model at this year's Shanghai Auto Show, and is unveiling a microbus version of the I.D. concept at the Detroit Auto Show this month.

VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.
