This is my 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit GTI 


It has been my project for over a year now and I have to part with it. 

Here's a little about it: I have replaced many many parts over the past year.

It is the 1.8 CIS motor.

New front performance brake pads
New Battery
New Starter
New front rotors
New Rear brake drums
New Rear brake Shoes
New Rear brake Cylinders
New Rear Wheel Bearings 
BMW 14' bottlecap wheels 
Raceland Headers
Currently Has mk2 cabrio seats
HID headlights
Timing Belt
Serpintine Belt
Spark Plugs
New Distributor rotor and cap
Neuspeed front brace
Neuspeed rear brace
Momo Steering Wheel
Oil Pan gasket
Strut mounts
New front motor mount and  trans mount and bracket
New Front Axels
New Gas Tank <---Cost like $400+

It has JOM front Coilovers
Rear Koni Yellow's with adjustable height and h&r springs

And Much Much More


I have paperwork for many of these parts and the sales receipt for the gas tank swap in which i spent over $400 in labor + the price of the part. 

There are some cons to the car:
There is an exhaust leak by the headers because one of the 8 header bolts is stripped, it needs a tap and die with a new screw to close the exhaust leak
There is oil leaking from somewhere - I think it is the valve cover gasket
Paint is not perfect, there is some overspray in places and is not a highly professional job. However, it still does look pretty good. 
Driver door only opens from inside, needs a little fixing on the cable maybe.
No air conditioning
No power steering
Back hatch does not open from outside, only from inside. 
O2 sensor is broken
Cat is not installed and exhaust currently is headers to straight pipe with one muffler, 
Mileage reads 53,799 but does not roll any longer. 
It is hard sometimes to get into first gear, it needs some tweaking with the shift linkage. All you have to do is learn to get the feel of it or just first go into second gear and push straight up on the shifter to find first gear more easily. 

I am including some extra parts I have lying around the garage with this sale. Such as the stock rear bench, some dash parts, fuses and relays, rear JOM coilvers.


The motor on this GTI runs strong and is pretty fast. This is one of the most fun cars I have EVER drove. It has such a go KART feel.


This car can be driven daily if needed but it will require a little bit more work to get it perfect. 

It handles really well and gets a bunch of 'thumbs up' and turns heads whenever I drive it anywhere.

It currently has inexpensive daily tires on it. They have lots of tread, around 80%...


Also email with any questions. 
My phone number is 818 648 7085


I have the registration. I have the PINK slip, with a clear title. 


I am going to ask for a $200 deposit within 24 hours of wining the auction
 I would like the car to be picked up within 7 days of winning the auction. 
I am willing to ship if you pay for the shipping, I am not going to pay for it or organize shipping, that will be up to the buyer. I am willing to take it somewhere to send it off for shipping.
I am willing to meet up in Southern California for pickup --  I am located near Los Angeles.
The car will be sold as is, I cannot give a warranty on the car. I am not a car dealer. I am a private seller and this has been my weekend car / fun project for over a year now.


On Aug-10-13 at 22:48:16 PDT, seller added the following information:

I am uploading a video of the GTI onto YouTube within the next 24 hours...


Also, there are a few (smaller than a penny size) rust points around the windshield trim area. There are a few paint chips, the paint is overall 7/10

VW's diesel problems could end in criminal prosecution

Tue, Sep 22 2015

It's not just auto industry insiders who are re-evaluating their thoughts on VW's diesel line-up following last week's bombshell accusation that the German automaker willfully installed software in almost a half-million diesel vehicles sold in the US to get around government emissions tests. Things are moving fast in what is already being called "dieselgate," but here are some of the big news items that we've learned since VW CEO Martin Winterkorn issued an apology yesterday. The biggest news is that both the US and German governments are looking into criminal prosecutions. Here, the US Justice Department has started a criminal investigation and Germany said that its Federal Motor Transport Authority will get involved. When the full history about all of this is written, two key players will be John German and Peter Mock from the International Council on Clean Transportation. They were the researchers responsible for actually calculating the emissions, and thus discovered that what was coming out of the tailpipe and what VW was telling the EPA did not match up. Once the EPA understood what was going on, it forced VW to either explain things all of its 2016 models would not receive certification. Sales of all VW diesels in the US have indeed been stopped, and the EPA says it will take a closer look at all light-duty diesel vehicles in the US. The re-engineered 2016 Volkswagen Passat is being launched in New York today. Two senior Volkswagen executives who were supposed to attend the event - Heinz-Jakob Neusser, VW's board member in charge of technical development and Herbert Diess, chairman of the VW brand's management board - have cancelled. An Audi vehicle is among the VW Group's vehicles affected by this issue, the A3 TDI. Given that VW has admitted in some fashion to installing the "defeat device" to get around the emissions tests, Audi's slogan "Truth In Engineering" now sounds less than perfect. Yes, there is already talk of class-action lawsuits. Nothing official is out yet, but expect to hear more about this in the near future.

Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift

Fri, Feb 20 2015

The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.
