If you have any questions or would like to view the car in person please email me at: latanyalhherbel@ukwriters.net .
Okay, where do I start? Firstly, I don't need to sell the car, but I've got my eyes on something else, and I can't
go forward with that until I free up some space. I've been through it all with this car. Blood, sweat, tears,
anger, frustration, excitement, and a few bank accounts. Been building the car since I purchased it new, nearly 4
years ago. I can finally say the car is as perfect as it can get, and running stronger than ever.
The car has never been in any accidents. The only damage it ever had was a front bumper that got damaged from road
debris. I have since purchased a new OEM bumper. The car has now gone through a full metal widebody build with
matching front and rear bumpers. Both front and rears have been widened approximately an extra 2.5". All work has
been done by Decaudellas in Melbourne, FL. . The body on the car is a 9.5/10.Currently the only cosmetic flaw is a
small chip on left side of rear bumper. I can get a picture for those serious. Those that are familiar with Clay
and his shop (Decaudellas), know that his work is nothing short of perfect, show quality. Around the same time, I
had a custom 4 point roll cage built for the car and powder coated white to match the exterior. It is easily
removable if desired. Along with cage, 4 point harnesses also went in.
The only people that have ever touched this car are either myself, or almost always USP Motorsports in Coral
Springs,FL - not even local VW dealers. They've done all of the major work on the car, from custom parts, to
suspension, full engine and transmission build, etc, etc, etc. I have receipts and invoices of every single thing
that's gone into the car or that's been done to it since the day I purchased it. Over $60k worth of labor and parts
(I have ALL receipts). I gladly welcome PPI to those that are serious.
For those that know the car, know it. There's a 100+ page build thread on Vortex about the car, since the day I got
it, and everything it's been through. From the time it was bagged, to when I decided to go APR stage 3+, to an even
bigger turbo upgrade with custom tuning, to the 10 second quarter mile runs, built head, etc etc..
I could go on and on about this car really, there's just way way way too much to list and talk about. If you're
serious about the car, feel free to mesage me, and we can further discuss it. I'll also give you my phone number
for direct contact if serious.
And NO, I will not part out any of the car.
On to specs:
2012 GLI
6 Speed Manual
23,xxx miles (car gets driven about 1-2 times every two or three weeks.)
Single Owner car. I bought it new, and have had it ever since.
Engine: It's bulletproof. The built head was finally put on and tested at about 18k miles. When the motor was apart
at that same time, everything was checked, including pistons, rods, cylinder walls, compression, everything. The
motor is perfect, healthy. Not a single hint of any problems, no leaks, nothing. The car currently has two custom
APR tunes. One for 93 octane, which makes anywhere from 420-450 ish whp depending on boost settings, and a race gas
tune which makes 520-580 whp depending on boost settings. There is a Greddy Profec Spec II boost controller to keep
track of all that. Everything of which I will go over with whoever is serious about the car. Also have dyno sheets
of everything, videos, etc. There was a new Precision 5858 turbo put in around 16k miles, so everything is like
new.

VW chair says component cost decrease keeps him confident of EV success
Tue, Mar 25 2014Volkswagen AG is in the middle of implementing a comprehensive electric vehicle strategy, one that we've been documenting for a long time. The Group stands ready to offer dozens of plug-in vehicles in the coming years if it feels there is sufficient demand and believes that selling a million EVs in Germany by 2020 is reasonable. That would be a solid number, but remember that VW sold over 5,923,000 passenger cars around the world last year, and the group as a whole sold over 9.7 million. At the company's annual Media Conference and Investor Conference in Berlin recently, the chairman of the board of VW AG - surrounded by some decidedly non-green examples of the VW Group's vehicles (some absurd new Bugatti, for example) - took some time to put the company's EV plans into focus. The upshot is that Dr. Martin Winterkorn is still guiding his electromobility ship into new waters, saying that "many more [plug-in] models will follow." Winterkorn said there are three main reasons he is confident in the ability of VW (and Audi and Porsche, at the very least) to push EV sales upward. Batteries are getting better, he said, and if the ranges can be extended, then customers are happy. But the real secret lies in reducing component costs. He said (as translated): It is important to look at the cost of the components: the battery technology, the electric motor and the electric components. Whenever you go into volume production, you of course have economies of scale. In two to three years' time, if we are able to achieve the goals we are setting for ourselves with cost and reach sufficient volume, I do believe that we can achieve two to three percent [market share] within VW Group. So, hitting a million EVs by 2020 is reachable. With the e-Golf and the e-Up off to excellent sales starts, we're willing to be confident as well.
Workers at Mississippi auto supplier protesting low wages
Tue, Feb 24 2015Workers at an automotive seat factory in Mississippi are protesting what they say are low wages and poor working conditions as they attempt to unionize in what could become a new front for the United Auto Workers in the state. A group of workers and supporters at the Faurecia SA seating plant in Cleveland plans a Tuesday march. "We work an auto job and we're getting paid like Wal-Mart wages," said Jamarqus Reed, a 32-year-old Pace resident who has worked at the plant for almost 10 years. "We're trying to better ourselves." Nationally, the UAW has staked its future on unionizing Southern auto factories, with limited success so far. The union has been trying to organize Nissan Motor Co.'s Canton, MS, plant for years, and lost a 2008 worker vote at a Johnson Controls plant in nearby Madison that French-based Faurecia bought in 2011. The UAW narrowly lost a unionization vote at the Volkswagen AG plant in Chattanooga, TN, last year, but the union has since qualified for a new labor policy at the plant that grants access to meeting space and to regular discussions with management. The policy stops short of collective bargaining rights. The union is also trying to organize Nissan's assembly plant in Smyrna, TN, and Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz plant in Tuscaloosa, AL. Protesters say Faurecia employees make a top wage of $11.64 per hour, while contract workers make $7.73 an hour. Company spokesman Tony Sapienza said that with overtime, the typical Faurecia employee makes more than the $27,000 a year that is the median wage around Cleveland. Wages are often low in the heavily impoverished Delta. "We are very confident that we are offering a very competitive wage," Sapienza said. Organizers criticize use of lower-paid contract workers Shannon Greenidge, a 44-year-old Cleveland resident, said she worked for a labor agency for more than two years before being hired directly by Faurecia. Greenidge said she makes $9.29 an hour, and can't save for retirement or to send her 11-year-old daughter to college. "That's not going to help me down the line in life," she said. Union supporters say as many as half the workers at the plant work for a contract-labor agency. Sapienza said that while the number varies, the company expects 15 percent of its workforce will be temporary employees this year. The UAW has organized some Southern auto parts plants in recent years, including Faurecia plants in Cottondale, Alabama, in 2012 and Louisville, Kentucky in 2013.
Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show
Thu, 23 Jan 2014If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.
