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!):

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.

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year

Tue, Dec 16 2014

There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
