For sale is my 1984 VW Rabbit GTI.  I bought it in pretty much the same shape it’s in and redid the rear fuel system after discovering a leak.  Other than that, I’ve probably only put a hundred miles on it since I’ve had it.  Sad...


This car is pretty heavily modified, and mechanically it’s a beast.  Responsive engine (could likely use a re-timing by a tuner), and great feeling suspension with tight steering.  Pretty much a blast to drive.  


That being said, the interior is a bit lacking.  I’ll include a carpet kit as well as buckets of extra parts that haven’t been installed. Seats are pretty nice, Recaro's from Mk2 GTI.  


I purchased a bigger german Sprinter van, and that’s been my main project/money suck so the Wabbit has to go!..


Here’s what I’ve gleaned off the VWvortex forum post that outlines this cars rebirth.  I can’t verify things 100%, but it looks to be pretty accurate.  Please see all the photos for more information.

Audi RS3 and Volkswagen Golf R face off in Evo test

Fri, Aug 7 2015

Typically when an automotive publication pits two rivals against each other, they come from different companies. After all, why would one automaker – even one parent company – develop two distinct models to compete against each other? Well, the Volkswagen Group isn't like most. It pits Porsches against Lamborghinis, Audis against Bentleys, Seats against Skodas... all under the same roof. In the high-powered hot hatch market, it offers both the VW Golf R and the Audi RS3. The question is, which is the better drive? Evo put them both on track for a quick bout of sibling rivalry to find out. On paper it would seem like an unfair fight. Sure, both are based on the same platform and channel their power to the tarmac through all four wheels. But the Audi's five-cylinder engine packs considerably more muscle than the Golf's four: 362 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque trump 296 hp and 280 lb-ft. There's just no way around that – at least until the Golf R 400 comes along. The Audi, as you might have guessed, also costs substantially more than the Volkswagen. But that's not Evo's concern here. This is a cost-no-object, bare-knuckle throw-down. Watch the ten-minute video above to find out if the cheaper, less powerful Golf R can keep pace with its more upscale and brawnier brother.
