Das Bug on 2040-cars
Susanville, California, United States
|
I have reveived many compliments on my Bug. I am the 3rd owner. I have owned it since April of this year. The top is appx. 5 years old and in good condition(NO rips NOR tears NOR leaks). I blew the 1776 and had an 1835(New) installed in July. It currently has appx. 600 miles. Dual Kadrons, remote oil filter w/ 1.5qt deep-sump oil pan, 55amp alt., electronic ignition, 8-pin, lightened flywheel, 1700# clutch, short throw shifter w/ custom lever, new EMPI 8-spokes and new tires(300m); 185/65-205/65-15. "IF" one wants to restore it to original/new condition, it could use a new dash, new glass/windshield/frames/rubber, classic, low-back buckets, carpet. However, in it's current conditon, it has been previouly entered in a few, local, Reno Summer shows. No one that has seen or driven this auto, dislikes it. I am working on grad school and moving to another part of the country by the end of the year. It was a nice project, but I no longer have a place to store it for the Winter nor the time nor the effort to continue this labor of love...

Autoblog Podcast #327:
Volkswagen Cross Up! headed for production after Geneva reveal
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The last time we saw the Volkswagen Cross Up!, it was sitting out in the snow in prototype form, but the next time we'll see this slightly more rugged version of the diminutive Up! hatchback will be when it makes its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Looking like a micro-crossover with its raised ground clearance and black cladding, the Cross Up! will be the fourth "Cross" model for VW (after the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran) when it goes on sale this summer in mainland Europe (UK sales remain up in the air and US sales are highly unlikely).
Overall, the styling of the production Cross Up! has stayed fairly true to the 2011 concept car, including the front and rear fascias that offer a more rugged look, stocky 16-inch wheels and roof rack side rails. Inside, this model will get unique interior enhancements such as "Cross Up!" sill plates and an instrument panel available in red, black or silver. Like the regular Up!, the Cross Up! is powered by a 74-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, and it doesn't look like all-wheel drive will be part of the picture. For more details on the upcoming Cross Up!, check out VW's press release posted below.
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
