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:

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

Autoblog Minute: VW 'tip of the iceberg' in diesel emissions scandal

Sat, Sep 26 2015

Some are calling Volkswagen just the tip of the iceberg in the diesel emissions scandal. Autoblog's Adam Morath reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Some are calling Volkswagen just the tip of the iceberg in the diesel emissions scandal. I'm Adam Morath and this is your Autoblog Minute. Here in the U.S. the EPA found defeat devices on certain Volkswagen vehicles. Across the pond however concerned environmentalist groups including [00:00:30] Transportation & Environment say that the issues could be more widespread in Europe. Nico Muzi, a spoken for Transportation and Environment was quoted in the Automotive News as saying: "Volkswagen is just the tip of the iceberg..." Muzi goes on to claim that cheating is widespread, and that results produced from European emissions tests, which are not administered by a government agency, show differences in data that "...are so much, it can't be explained." Clean vehicle manager at Transport & Environment Greg Archer spoke to Bloomberg Business about the need to reform emissions testing in Europe: [00:01:00] [Bloomberg Video Clip] While it's clear that automakers are engineering vehicles and software to perform well on emissions tests, the real question is whether or not other OEMs, besides Volkswagen, are using defeat devices to cheat the tests, either here or in Europe.

Jay Leno brings a rotary-powered VW Beetle to the garage

Mon, Aug 1 2016

It takes something really unique or inventive to pique Jay Leno's interest. His show, Jay Leno's Garage, has featured everything from concours-worthy classics to completely custom, home-built machinery. How do you get Leno to feature one of more than 20 million Beetles on his program? Stick a turbocharged rotary engine under the hood. The Beetle's owner, Mario Markakis, swapped the car's stock flat four-cylinder for the Wankel engine from a 1990 Mazda RX-7 Series 5 Turbo. The engine's 250 horsepower are fed through a reinforced version of the Beetle's stock four-speed transmission. That's about five times the original engine's output. It works well, with the car putting down some impressive times at the drag strip. Markakis did most of the work to the Beetle in his garage. In addition to the engine swap, he's modified the car's brakes, suspension, and interior. Check out the video to hear all the details of this custom Wankel-powered Volkswagen.
