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!):
Direct video link (embedded video doesn't seem to work for some mobile devices): 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. |

Horn, Hackenburg, Hatz to be fired as VW diesel scandal deepens
Thu, Sep 24 2015Volkswagen will sack three more high ranking executives, including the head of its US division, as the company's diesel scandal deepens. Reuters reported Thursday morning that the executives are: Michael Horn, who has led VW's US operations since January 1, 2014; Ulrich Hackenberg, who oversaw Audi's research and development; and Wolfgang Hatz, who was in charge of R&D for Porsche. A VW spokesman wouldn't comment in response to an Autoblog email. The moves come in the wake of longtime VW chief executive Martin Winterkorn stepping down on Wednesday. Volkswagen's board said at the time that it expected more personnel changes to follow. Volkswagen's board is scheduled to meet Friday, and Porsche CEO Matthias Muller has reportedly been named as Winterkorn's successor. The German auto giant was plunged into crisis last Friday when the EPA charged that the company manipulated software in its diesel-powered cars to pass US emissions tests. About 482,000 vehicles in the US are affected, and VW estimates 11 million around the world could have the rigged software. The revelations have prompted outcry from governments and regulatory agencies, and in the US, Volkswagen could face a fine of up to $18 billion. The departure of Horn, Hackenberg, and Hatz is a stunning downfall for three of the company's top and most visible executives. Horn had led US operations for less than two years, taking over from Jonathan Browning, who was well-respected but failed to reach VW's ambitious sales targets. Before overseeing Audi R&D, Hackenberg was hailed as a visionary for work in developing VW's modular architectures, which allow the company to save time and money by building many vehicles off the same chassis. Hatz had led Porsche R&D since 2011 and also was in charge of engines and transmission development for all of Volkswagen.

Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union
Sat, 30 Aug 2014The struggle over unionization at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. There's now a second union fighting to organize at the plant; although this one is staunchly against the actions of the United Auto Workers. At the same time, the UAW is still signing up voluntary members to its recently created Local 42 at the facility and is reportedly near having a majority of the hourly employees on its side.
The new, anti-UAW union campaign is being spearheaded by employee Mike Burton, according to Reuters, and he calls his group the American Council of Employees. He claims to already have 108 signatures in support of his organization. Burton believes that the UAW is harmful to businesses, and his goal is to force another vote to determine a preferred union among workers.
The UAW was initially defeated (712 to 626) when it attempted a union vote at the Tennessee plant in February. However, UAW secretary-treasurer Gary Casteel told Reuters that Local 42 has already signed up over 700 members. If it can reach a majority of the roughly 1,500 employees, the group hopes VW might consider recognizing it as the factory's union.
