Let's get to it.Bought the car from my room mate in 99 in TX.It is a TX car originally.$13,370 sticker..basic info 124hp 2.0L fuel injection,FWD,sport transmission,Strut front,torsion rear,four disc brakes,Dual euro headlights,front and rear spoilers,Recaro seats,% speed manual,tornado red paint,Ac..He babied and adored it and all daily maintenance was up to par.I continued with this..Since I owned it I have had the top end done.I used a local garage and they did all this work but it was a bit to complicated for them,hands up in the air I took to an official VW shop and got it finished.Next was the transmission.My clutch disconnected and I was trying to dry shift it to get home.Should have stayed in first but I thought a second gear may get me home quicker.Well it didn't.New transmission from GEX and installed later and we were off and running.Had Brakes done,Put new TT exhaust on,fresh tires and shocks from Big O who was my neighbor who tuned the suspension proper.My work takes me in and out of state so this car has been stored most of my ownership.Inside mind you.Come back after a few years and needed a new fuel pump,Ran around stored again,Back into it drove it to colorado and on the way home she just died on me.Seemed the fuel system was the problem.Stored again and returned two years ago..take to mechanic with fuel system,injectors needing cleaning?and a Dry bearing sound.He takes the easy work of replacing the AC unit..but does not get it running!Cleans injectors etc..bolts all this back on to a compression ratio of #1=120 #2=120 #3=80 #4=120 or 100..I was on the understanding that we were to rebuild the engine he was on the understanding to screw me and run.Car was running when parked.And I have let it be till today.Again stored inside..I just don't have the good mechanics in this area to deal with this car.Nor the time and to many other projects..all of which I can work on due to my local garage climate..need my garage space so it's up for grabs to the right person.
The Good:No major accident ever,Thule racks minus the bike attachments in photo,Yokohama Tires have plenty of tread(New really),shocks suspension tuned with new tires,Low miles transmission,TT exhaust,Alpine pull out deck,Brakes have low miles,sunroof works fine,Recaro seats,Momo gear knob,Prime wheels,Tinted windows. The Bad:Passenger lock does not work,Prime wheels need steel wool or elbow grease compounds to get styled,missing rear right wheel prime cap,rear seats burnt along with my entire house,Rear window tint is falling off,Headliner falling down(how unusual for a vw)dash crack on top(normal)console has been cut for a radio that is no longer there,leather on steering wheel is worn on top,burn holes in seats(one or two each)still lovely sitting in Recaros,Plastics on car need to be played with but no dramas they are not flying off while driving,Rear hatch will not stay up on its own-needs viagra in the form of two new hydraulic hatch poles..has paint pealing off here,scratch here,dent there..but general the body is solid,hood paint seems to want to be a lighter red then the rest of the car.. The Ugly:ENGINE NEEDS REBUILD-This car is not running,no battery and has no warranty. The round out..Good cult classic,solid shell with all working components accept the engine.Looking for someone who knows or lives in an area that can get the work done.I would not be selling this if I had access to a proper mechanic.And I just don't have the time anymore,nor the room for it to do it another day.Otherwise she is worth the fix. Sold as is where is.I have a short window to sell this and get it out of here.Once the auction is done I need it gone,or we arrange to pick it up at another place at buyers expense.Be ready to roll!!Any questions ask them.I have explained this the best I can.It is obvious what it is and described accordingly.Few receipts pryer to me buying are about and all/most receipts when I have owned it are here.I am starting this listing at what I have paid the last mechanic who did the work.So if this was two years back..I would be giving this car away on the first bid.It's a fast fun car that should not be sitting any longer in my opinion.Needs to be out terrorizing the streets again. |

McLaren F1 poaches Jost Capito from VW WRC
Mon, Jan 18 2016The executive shuffle continues at the McLaren Formula 1 team with news that Ron Dennis has lured Jost Capito away from his position as head of Volkswagen Motorsport. Capito will become the CEO of McLaren Racing, replacing Jonathan Neale who took the position on an interim basis at the beginning of 2014 to replace Martin Whitmarsh. Whitmarsh, who had been with McLaren for 24 years and spent five of them as F1 team principal, left the company after being moved out of the CEO position. Neale, on the other hand, who has been with McLaren Racing since 2001, is moving over to the newly created position of COO of the McLaren Technology Group. Capito left the Ford SVT division in 2012 to run VW Motorsport, and has spent the past three years shepherding the brand's World Rally Championship to three consecutive driver's and manufacturer's titles. Before that, his lengthy racing resume includes developing high-performance BMW engines, winning the Dakar Rally as a co-pilot, executive positions with Sauber in the early nineties, and managing Ford's WRC team. Dennis, who first approached Capito last summer, called him, "extremely impressive, competitive, and ambitious." The Woking team has some great parts, but it hasn't been able to make the most of them comprehensively since the end 2012 season. Autosport says that Capito has the ability to make the best pieces work together, which will probably be his biggest challenge at McLaren. Capito will remain at VW until a successor is found.

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
