This is a track car.  Don't buy this to drive on the street.

Here's a 1994 VW Jetta, 5 speed stick, crank windows, no sunroof.  We removed the trunk stuff, back seat, radio, A/C coil, wipers, and got her down to 2400 lbs with a half tank of gas.  This car will run with Miatas all day, and get 20 MPG doing it.

Motor - basically unmodified 2.0 four, did a light polish and gasket match on the intake, and a tuneup.  Uses no oil, pulls willingly to the redline.  Removed the factory airbox and installed a no-name oil media air filter.

Suspension - no-name ebay coilovers.  About 2 inches clearance up front, adjustable from slammed to 3 inches.  2 degrees negative camber, comes with factory strut bolts and Moog cam bolts so you can dial in whatever camber you want.

Brakes - stock, no ABS.  You're on your own.

Wheels - comes with one set of 15 inch, 4x100, 205-50 Kumho Excta XS tires, and one set of factory 14 inch steelies with no-names good for tow dolly use.

Body - she's a midwestern girl.  Expect some rust.  Nothing structural, but the rust is through one seam in the trunk - see picture.

This car went to the $2013 Challenge and held it's own.  Then, she did several HPDE events this year.  It's a barrel of monkeys, and likes to lift it's inside rear wheel to say "piss on you" to whoever I just passed.  So - this car would make you a great HPDE starter car, or throw in a cage and go LeMonsing or Chumping.  Heck, the horn works, so take her down to the county fairgrounds and run the hornets.  Just don't buy this to drive on the street.

Terms - $500 Paypal deposit in 48 hours, balance cash on pickup.  Delivery within 500 miles for $1 a mile.

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.

Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
