2004 Volkswagen Mk4 Golf R32 Supercharged 3.2l Vr6 on 2040-cars

Awesome VW, 2004 MKIV R32.  Many performance upgrades, including:

Stage 2 VF Supercharger with intercooler (you can see the big intercooler hiding behind the low center grill)
Methanol Injection.  Metered according to boost, using a Snow Performance injection controller.  Meth tank/pump are mounted in the rear hatch area.
Oversize stainless exhaust.
Adjustable coil-over suspension.
Slotted and drilled brake rotors.

This car is super fun to drive.   On the track, it'll run with much more expensive cars.  Previous owner (I think I'm owner #2), did almost all the upgrades, and claimed ~450hp, with race mode loaded into the ECU, on the right fuel.   I'm won't claim a HP number (haven't dyno tested it), but can attest that it is a VERY strong runner.

Lots of recent work - including new alternator and battery, new serpentine/supercharger-drive belt, new oil pump and bearings, new clutch, new dogbone lower motor mount.

The pictures speak for themselves.   And the sound (turn it up!):

Video.


From the VIN, ebay automatically extracted some of the vehicle details.  Rest assured, this is no longer a "naturally aspirated" car.

In the interest of full disclosure, let's list the known flaws:
 - The tint job on the windows could use a re-do.
 - It's 10 year old paint.  So, it's got a few nicks, door dings, tired clear coat in a couple spots.   But it is certainly presentable and drivable as-is.  (it's just not new-car fresh)
 - Previous owner had the rear seats out (lighter weight for racing).  I am still missing the drivers side lower rear seat.  I may still recover the original from the previous owner; but - if not - have a source where a near-new replacement can be purchased for $65, including shipping.
 - It appears that there was, at one time, a big subwoofer box in the back.  Wiring is still there for it; but I don't have the sub, box, or amp.
 - I haven't had this car long, and to be honest, don't know as much as I should about it.   For instance, I haven't played with the flashloader.  So the new owner will get to figure out a few things  dialing it in for his or her preference.

Car is located in Salt Lake City, UT.  It's stored at a shop, and available for inspection.  I can help facilitate shipping if required.

Audi exec suspended over diesel scandal

Mon, Sep 19 2016

So far, just one lower-level employee has plead guilty in the ongoing VW diesel scandal. Up high, the VW CEO when the scandal broke, Martin Winterkorn, resigned right after the news came out. Other executives have also quit or been suspended as well. Today, we learn that one more executive is feeling the heat a year into the scandal. Stefan Knirsch, the head of technical development at Audi and Audi board member, is going to be suspended from his position this week because of his ties to the technology that VW Group used to cheat emissions tests. The German newspaper Bild Am Sonntag reports that Knirsch not only knew that the cheating software existed but also lied about it under oath. Knirsch previously worked at Porsche and then Audi's electrification division. He left Audi's EV efforts behind in early 2015.

Seinfeld's Porsches and VWs command $22 million at auction

Mon, Mar 14 2016

Jerry Seinfeld sold off parts of his private collection last weekend at the Gooding & Company auction at Amelia Island, and the comedian's prized possessions garnered an impressive $22 million. Seinfeld is a passionate collector of Porsches, and the top lot which Gooding moved from his collection was a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, which sold for $5.35 million – right in the middle of its estimated range. Others inline with their pre-sale estimates included a 1990 962C racer ($1.65 million), a '94 964 Flatnose Turbo ($1 million), a '66 911 ($275,000), and a '64 VW Camper ($99,000). A few lots exceeded expectations, notably a '74 911 Carrera IROC RSR that went for $2.3 million (over an estimate of $1.2-1.5 million), as did a pair of 911 Speedsters from 1989 and 2011 and a 356 Speedster from '57. Jerry's 1960 Volkswagen set a new record for Beetles sold at auction when it went for a top bid of $121,000, well exceeding its estimated $45,000 value. The '73 Porsche 917/30 Can-Am Spyder, however, sold for $3 million – which might seem like a lot of money until you realize that it was estimated to fetch upwards of $5 million. A '59 718 RSK went for only $2.86 million when it was valued at $4 million. A pair of 356s sold for $825,000 (instead of $1.25 million) and $1.5 million (instead of $2.25 million). A 993 Cup and a '58 Jadgwagen fell below expectations as well. Altogether, CNBC notes that the $22 million brought in by the collection fell well below the $28-32 million it was anticipated to raise. Far be it from us to count someone else's money, but something tells us Seinfeld won't be hurting too much after the sale. This is the guy, after all, who turned down an offer from NBC that would have netted him $5 million per episode for another 22-episode season of the eponymous show that made him famous.

(March 13, 2016) – Gooding & Company, the auction house acclaimed for selling the world's most significant and valuable collector cars with the tradition of presenting some of the greatest collections to ever come to market, realized $60,162,150 in a single day at the company's 2016 Amelia Island Auction.
