Hello fellow VW
enthusiast, meet my MK4 1999.5 fully custom turbo GTI VR6 which represents all
the best of speed, style, and sound! When I say custom, I mean there is
NOTHING stock about this car... $20,000 in the engine bay and drive
train, $20,000 in custom paint and body work, $10,000 in the suspension,
brakes, wheels, and tires, and $5,000 in the interior and sound system.
This beast is ready to plaster you into the back of your seat and is
currently tuned with full stand alone engine management to over 400 whp.
The motor is fully built top-to-bottom and ready to make over 600 whp if
you so desire. The car has been transformed into a real wide-body (not
using a body kit) with all body moldings and door locks shaved and has a custom
black and silver two-tone paint job along with Audi door handles. In
addition, it has huge Porsche brakes, a fully adjustable coil-over suspension,
and staggered wheels and tires for an aggressive stance and fly-paper adhesion
to the road. Add to that tastefully done black alcantra door panels,
headliner, and pillars with a great sounding custom sound system!
Everything has been done meticulously and to the highest standard.
The car runs and handles
great and will make a true enthusiast very happy. The chassis has 82,527 miles on it, but the engine build only has about 7,000 miles on it. The
stand-alone engine management system is Lugtronics (Megasquirt) and gives you
full control over tuning with my Dell laptop which is included with the car.
You can easily monitor and adjust every parameter of fuel, ignition, etc.
and document the results via the Mega Viewer program. You also have
control over launch, rev limiter, NOS, or any other output. There is an
RS-232 data cable inside the car which connects to the included Dell laptop and
has all the tuning and documentation software on it. Just plug it in and
start tuning with this amazing software!
This car is absolutely
incredible, but since I am very particular, I think there a few minor things
that you should know about: the gap between the front bumper and fenders
is not perfect and there are some minor stone chips (the car has been driven
and is not a trailer queen after all). In addition, there are two pieces
of trim missing on either side of the radio/climate control in the dash and the
back window tint has a bubble in it. Other than that the interior and
exterior are immaculate! Also, the back seats have been removed but are
included with the sale of the car.
Well it's time for the
CHA-CHING portion of the listing... Here are all the parts and modifications on
this one-of-a-kind vehicle:

Volkswagen's De Silva says next Scirocco will be 'completely different'
Tue, 02 Apr 2013From our perspective, the reborn Volkswagen Scirocco is a handsome (if squat) little thing. Yet design-wise, it's always struck us as uncomfortably close to the Golf three-door hatchback with which it shares its basic underpinnings. That aesthetic kinship may be part of the reason why Volkswagen has steadfastly refused to import the Scirocco to North America, seeing as how the Golf doesn't regularly set the company's sales charts alight, and it's less expensive.
But that visual similarity might be about to change, says Walter De Silva, who recently told Australia's Car Advice that, "It must be completely different... we don't want to repeat the bodystyle of the Scirocco, we want to change that." Further, the Volkswagen Group's design boss says that the next-generation car isn't terribly far along in development yet - "at the moment, it's only a studio [project]... it's not defined." It's probably just as well, as the new seventh-generation Golf arguably borrows some of its design from the current Scirocco anyway.
So we should expect a much bolder, more differentiated design, right? Well, yes, no and maybe. Back in September, De Silva himself was quoted as saying that the era of flamboyant styling has passed, and that future VW designs will be simpler to better reflect the times and preserve resale value. So... how different could it be?
Import pickup truck-killing Chicken Tax to be repealed?
Tue, Jun 30 2015After over 50 years, the so-called Chicken Tax may finally be going the way of the dodo. Two pending trade deals with countries in the Pacific Rim and Europe potentially could open the US auto market up to imported trucks, if the measures pass. Although, it still might be a while before you can own that Volkswagen Amarok or Toyota Hilux, if ever. The 25-percent import tariff that the Chicken Tax imposes on foreign trucks essentially makes the things all but impossible to sell one profitably in the US, which lends a distinct advantage to domestic pickups. Both the Trans-Pacific Partnership with 12 counties and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union would finally end the charge. According to Automotive News though, don't expect new pickups to flood the market, at least not immediately. These deals might roll back the tariff gradually over time, and in the case of Japan, it could be as long as 25 years before fully free trade. Furthermore, Thailand, a major truck builder in Asia, isn't currently part of the deal, and any new models here would still need to meet safety and emissions rules, as well. Automotive News gauged the very early intentions of several automakers with foreign-built trucks, and they weren't necessarily champing at the bit to start imports. Toyota thinks the Hilux sits between the Tundra and Tacoma, and Mazda doesn't think the BT-50 fits its image here. Also, VW doesn't necessarily want to bring the Amarok over from Hannover. There is previous precedent for companies at least considering bringing in pickup trucks after the Chicken Tax's demise, though. The Pacific free trade deal could be done as soon as this fall, while the EU one is likely further out, according to Automotive News. Given enough time, the more accessible ports could allow some new trucks to enter the market.
VW to relax ambitious US sales targets?
Fri, 16 May 2014The Volkswagen brand sold 407,704 cars last year, a 6.95-percent decline compared to 2012, and it's down a further 8.36 percent through the end of April 2014 compared to this time last year. In order to to put the sales football between its Strategy 2018 goal posts, the brand would need to add 100,000 more sales every year to achieve the lofty 800,000-unit target. Coming to grips with how unreasonable that is, VW US CEO Michael Horn has said, "For now, we have to have realistic targets."
The reasons for the brand's slow-down are imprecise, but lots of folks are throwing lots of reasons around. Last November, VW Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg, "We understand Europe, we understand China and we understand Brazil, [but] we only understand the US to a certain degree so far." Analysts say the brand hasn't had midsize and compact SUV offerings, especially an overdue retail version of the CrossBlue, and the ones it does have are priced too high for their segments. It "didn't introduce enough new engines, or alternative technologies or model variants" for the Passat and Jetta. It devoted so many resources to China that the US market suffered. It was being outspent two-to-one on advertising by competitors. Its J.D. Power dependability ratings aren't high enough to overcome its past. It "has never really taken the US customer seriously." And so on.
There's still no official admission of defeat concerning the target, but reading between the lines there are some VW execs that appear to accept it won't happen short of some deus ex machina. Still,
