Fresh rebuild to a 1641cc duel port. The build: I rebuilt this engine my self, but I'm a experienced mechanic for over 12 years and know VW well, but sorry no build sheet, so Ill do the best I can with describing it.
I started with a good case from a 1600 single port, drilled it out for the larger oil cooler and tower fan, striped the painted case back to the stock finish for proper heat dispersion. The previous build from the last owner of this engine was over heated after a drive I took at 70mph so all the internals came out. I installed a new 69mm crank as the crank was twisted in the dowel pins and treading to the flywheel was weak with a crack it had to go, like I said over heated so I took no chances with it. Went on to install new main bearings, new rod bearings, and new cam bearings, new rear main seal, and gaskets were made with black RTV. I find that they hold up better to oil leaks this way. The rods were re-used so was the stock cam, the gears, oil pump, and a good set of mildly used performance 041 vw duel port heads I believe that's the number on them, they have low miles, are like 2 years old and work very well with good burning chambers. I don't put together junk , what's the point, it won't run. The pistons and barrels were replaced with a brand New set of 87mm 1641cc piston kit and have good compression, this kit requires no machining to the case or heads. This engine is well built and a lot more powerful then a stock duel port 1600cc. This car has not made full break in as I have it stored and can only drive it in the parking lot right now. I brought it up to 50mph though on a strait strip, and drove it around my neighborhood a few miles risking it without tags, stupid I know. The engine has had the proper break-in revving process to set the rings in though.It has a new clutch in it so no problems there. The TOP has a new 34pic carburetor, New fuel pump, 009 distributor with new points, cap and rotor. The coil is in good used condition, 55 amp alt upgrade 12 volt system. Running a header exhaust with j-tubes and heater deletes, comes with with a stinger exhaust pipe, but I will include the quiet pack single performance muffler with the sale as well. Has a new battery in it. The CAR, this is the best bug Iv ever owned, being restored twice in the last 6 years, RUST FREE, dent Free, except for some small scrapes in the front end skirt do to it being lowered, but it's not even a concern. The car has had no major accident that I can tell it looks all original. The pan and car's body and it has not been taken apart that I can tell, so it's original and I believe the numbers match, witch is a rare thing today with vw bugs, but the Engine is not a numbers matching block as I got it in LA, TRANS the I'm not sure, prob was replaced, it's really good and have had no problems with this freeway flyer, but the trans came in the car and have not played with it, all is well. The guy I bought this car from is my neighbor who had this car for several years and it kinda got traded around my neighborhood for the last 7 years of so. before he had the car a marine did a st about everything was replaced0% restoration to the car cut out the batt tray aria of the pan and restored everything from the bottom up . He striped the whole car to the last nuts and bolts, everything in this car is new , New Gas tank and Brake system, cables, new dash, you name it tons of up grades and there is tons on money invested in this car, one piece windows were installed, it was painted in and out without any window glass, engine and trans came out all was taken part and put back with new stuff about 6 years ago. He installed the So Cal rubber window kit, shaved the metal trim so it does have a tiny bit of filler just to smooth it out from the trims and signal lights. The tail and turn signal lights where converted to the older style,the suspension is raked the front lowering it. He did a good job for a non professional, but no one seemed to like the yellow paint color. When I got the car it was flat black primer outside and without a motor or stereo and some small spots of rust that I repaired and re welded in the front gas tank aria and the front kick panels, so no more rust. it also needed several cosmetic things, and has been up graded, to the old school round mirror a Rockford sound system 10inch duel voice coil competition sub Rockford amp with a kenwood head unit. lots of up grades to the car must see it.The headliner and the rest of the interior was replace with top of the line tweed and was over $2000 alone. The gauges are an up grade but not all are hooked up right now but work. The steering wheel was replaced with a cool wolfsburg steering wheel kit and so were the seat belts and shifter knob. I installed the projector headlights with tear drop covers the t-bars and the new tail lights. The car comes with a spare tire that rolls. The NOT SO GOOD Part, I'm a sucky painter, so the paint job as it's an awesome color it's not professionally done and is no show winner, but not bad for a beginner and has a nice shine to it. The other thing is One tire needs replacing in the front but I can order it with the sale , you may need to have it put on though, and the last thing it will need in the future is the steering box is getting a bit worn and the car has a small bit of play but is still not to bad to drive but will need replacing within the next 2 years, I'm tapped out, so that's why I didn't replace that stuff yet. The pictures give the color no Justus and the car is a camellia type of paint so it's mainly a dark purple blue and much prettier in person, it changes completely in the sunlight to blue. It can appear dark in some spots and light in others as the car has curves as well. It's a bad ass driver hot rod custom and something to be proud of any place, nobody notices the problems with it hanging around it but I'm picky and disappointed with my work on the paint that's all. Has not been out side so has been covered in a tent at my storage lot where I keep it. Won't be a best of show, so it's no show car paint job, but all else is good, the inside door paint is fudged and that is prob the worst thing and I have a bad spray pattern on the drivers door, but is purely cosmetic. All else functions well in this car and would make a killer first time hot rod for a high schooler or adult. This car get's mad looks everywhere I go with it and everyone loves the color and just has to stop and bother me about it. lol? is it for sale or just bug talk and such, I don't have time for that BS bu love VW's so dealing with it lol. Truth is I just got done with the project and have owned the car for a bit over a year and would love to keep it, but I'm moving back suddenly to the east coast and have 4 cars so some need to go and ill be needing the cash as well to get back home so my loss. I am in and out of town all the time right now and getting ready for the move in may, so if you have the winning bid I can hold the car for you to pick it up as long as the car get's paid the deposit first, but I'm out of town right now as well so it may be a week before you can pick the car up as well, please just communicate with me so we can work it out I'm good about that and have a 100% feed back. The title is clear and in hand, the car is ready to run and drive, if in so cal I can deliver for a small fee depending on where you live, we can talk about it.You must have the $1000. deposit towards the car's price within 48hrs of purchase to buy the car. If you have any questions just ask me, thank you and happy bidding. |

Audi RS3 and Volkswagen Golf R face off in Evo test
Fri, Aug 7 2015Typically when an automotive publication pits two rivals against each other, they come from different companies. After all, why would one automaker – even one parent company – develop two distinct models to compete against each other? Well, the Volkswagen Group isn't like most. It pits Porsches against Lamborghinis, Audis against Bentleys, Seats against Skodas... all under the same roof. In the high-powered hot hatch market, it offers both the VW Golf R and the Audi RS3. The question is, which is the better drive? Evo put them both on track for a quick bout of sibling rivalry to find out. On paper it would seem like an unfair fight. Sure, both are based on the same platform and channel their power to the tarmac through all four wheels. But the Audi's five-cylinder engine packs considerably more muscle than the Golf's four: 362 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque trump 296 hp and 280 lb-ft. There's just no way around that – at least until the Golf R 400 comes along. The Audi, as you might have guessed, also costs substantially more than the Volkswagen. But that's not Evo's concern here. This is a cost-no-object, bare-knuckle throw-down. Watch the ten-minute video above to find out if the cheaper, less powerful Golf R can keep pace with its more upscale and brawnier brother.

Feds allege widespread Volkswagen cheating on clean-air rules
Fri, Sep 18 2015Volkswagen intentionally installed software in nearly a half-million diesel vehicles that helped the cars evade substandard results on emissions tests, the federal government charged Friday. The Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice of violation to the German automaker, saying the company's software broke the law by violating two provisions in the Clean Air Act. Circumventing the standards meant affected cars emitted as much as 40 times the allowable level of certain pollutants. Both the EPA and California Air Resources Board have launched investigations. In its notice of violations, the EPA said Volkswagen officials admitted to installing and concealing what they call a "defeat device," which was designed to detect when the cars were undergoing official emissions tests – and only turn on emissions controls during that time. "Our goal now is to ensure that the affected cars are brought into compliance, to dig more deeply into the extent and implications of Volkswagen's efforts to cheat on clean air rules, and to take appropriate further action," said Richard Corey, executive officer of CARB. The allegations cover approximately 482,000 vehicles sold in the United States over the past seven years. Cars involved include diesel versions of the Jetta, Beetle, Audi A3 and Golf manufactured between the 2009 and 2015 model years. Passats manufactured for the 2014 and 2015 model years are also included. Federal officials note there is no safety danger to motorists, but the cars will be recalled for repairs. If true, Volkswagen faces a fine that could run in the hundreds of millions of dollars -- likely higher than the $300 million charge the EPA levied last November at Hyundai and Kia for exaggerating the fuel-economy in several models. The charges also put a tremendous dent into the company's plans to increase sales of its "Clean Diesel" vehicles in North America. In a written statement, Volkswagen Group of America acknowledged it had received the notices from the EPA and CARB. "VW is cooperating with the investigation; we are unable to comment further at this time," it said. Federal officials said the defeat-device software was uncovered during an independent analysis by researchers at West Virginia University, who in working with the International Council on Clean Transportation, a non-governmental organization, raised questions about emissions levels.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
