Here's my baby and she's for sale.
I just don't have the time to take care of her anymore and I'd rather see her go to someone that can take the time to enjoy her more than I can. Don't like the price? Feel free to make me an offer, the worst thing that can happen is I say no (and depending on how low the offer is it may make me sad too but oh well right!) Here are some details for now, I may add more later as I remember them, if you have ANY questions or want more pictures PLEASE do not hesitate to ask! * Just built 2017cc engine built by the Great Paul Ripa of JBBugs (www.jbbugs.com) he knows his stuff, been around forever and a half, and also road races his own car. Engine still has under 150 miles on it. Here are some details of the engine: - CB Supercase AS41 90.5mm fully flowed Magnesium case (yes, the discontinued ones that everyone and their Mother wants) - Eagle racing 2288 camshaft - 78.4mm CB Forged 4340 Chromoly counterweighted crank (8 dowelled, balanced) - CB Uni-tech HD Plus I-beam rods with HD bolts - 90.5mm AA pistons and cylinders - Mini D port heads that Pat Downs from CB Performance set up for me. He did a 2 angle valve job, 4 angle valve seat job, new valve guides, new valves, new retainers, installed and set the new VW650 springs and fly cut them to 58cc (which gives me 8.6:1 compression with a 0.050" deck height). - Custom made head studs, Chromoly 4140, 8mm threads, 9mm shaft - 12.5 lbs flywheel - DRD Racing Chromoly racing Gland nut - CB breather tower - Weber 44 IDF carbs - CB hex bar linkage - 51 amp alternator - German valve covers - Gene Berg 1.5qt deep sump - A1 Sidewinder - CB ultralight 28mm lifters - Manton Chromoly pushrods (0.058" wall thickness) - CB 1493 VW650 Dual Springs - Stainless steel windage push rod tubes - Schadek 26mm oil pump with cover - Daikin clutch disc - Kennedy stage 1 pressure plate - Billet distributor clamp - Billet alternator pulley with matching hex nut - 8mm Spiro-Pro plug wire set - JayCee mag oil sump plate - Gene Berg 6lb Equalizer pulley - Mallory Unilite distributor - Magnum straight cut gears - CB 1.3:1 rocker arms and solid shaft Engine is in the car and runs and drives, however it still needs to be tuned right. Right now I think it's too rich on the bottom end (idle jets) I'm using 60 idles, 160 mains, 200 air and 50 pump jets with F11 emulsion tubes and 36mm venturis. The car bogs down a little when warm and below ~3500 RPM at part throttle. I have the timing set at about 30 degrees max advance with grey/grey springs. Running BP6ES spark plugs. * New KCR Superstreet Plus transmission (has less than 110 miles on it). - Super diff - Heavy Duty side cover - Welded third and fourth - Steel forks - 4.12 Klindenberg R&P - 3.78 first gear - 0.82 fourth gear - Chromoly pinion retainer * Canton Mecca oil filter * Mesa remote oil cooler (in addition to stock doghouse one) * New Bosch autostick starter * CB electric fuel pump * OEM NOS VW/Bosch Euro headlights with correct chrome rings (extra set of correct NOS rings also included) * NOS Bumper strips front and rear * Front Euro disc brake spindles * Rear converted to Type 3 rear brakes (used NOS drums) * Full set of VDO gauges (tach, oil pressure, oil temp, ammeter, cylinder head temp) * New never installed Innovate Motorsports 3488 MTX-L A/F gauge * Zeitronix A/F system (needs a laptop or additional SD card reader to use it) * NOS dash pad * Gray tweed/black vinyl interior * Black/Gray carpets * Rubber floor mats * Gene Berg shifter with vintage grip handle * Kochs restored steering wheel * Topline versa struts * Topline front tie bar * Topline front swaybar and suspension parts * Steering box, tie rods and bushings all replaced * KYB white rear shocks * Sway-A-Way rear torsion bars * Urethane spring plate bushings * HD trans mounts, mid mount and rear strap * MSD-6AL with adjustable rev limiter * Kenwood KDC-X995 head unit (top of the line, bluetooth, pandora, etc etc etc) with 6.5" front speakers, two rear tweeter and two subs with 4 way amplifier * Hirshmann antenna * Optima battery * 4.5" front and 5.5" rear wheels * New matching tires (Yokohama Avid Envigor, 175/65/15 front 205/60/15 rear) * Pop out windows * Original spare with bias ply tire There's obviously more I just can't think of it right now. I also have a bunch of spare parts, door panels, two German doors, German decklid, suspension parts etc etc all those parts are also included in the sale. The paint is not in the best shape, there are cracks and dings here and there, but it's a presentable car and turns heads everywhere I drive it (just drove it today and got tons of thumbs up). I will also include (IF you want them) all the trophies the car has received for the last 14 years I have owned it, 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies at several shows across California (it's a California car I brought along with me to Florida when I moved here) and Florida shows. I also have a tow bar I will include if you need it. I also have a box of receipts and paperwork since around 2000, and a logbook/journal that I kept for the car. Mileage is not actual. Here's a video I made a couple of weeks ago (I know the oil cap is off, I had just changed the oil and was doing the first start after the oil change): https://www.dropbox.com/s/fi34e0qo1ttl3pb/20131107_170618.mp4 Let me know if you have any questions or need any more pictures or details, or would like to come inspect the car. |

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.
Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
2014 Volkswagen GTI to start a new hot hatch era in Geneva
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The upcoming Geneva Motor Show is going to be stocked with important new production models and sexy concept cars, but hot hatch enthusiasts will undoubtedly see it as the coming out party of the MkVII Volkswagen GTI. And while we've only got European specifications and pricing to go on for now, we can tell from the get-go that the new GTI will be a proper heir to VW's hot hatch legacy.
This seventh-generation GTI is powered by a turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in base form. For the first time ever, Volkswagen is also offering a performance pack for the GTI as well, which ups the horsepower to 230 (torque remains unchanged). With a slightly lower curb weight to push around - the new base car weighs 2,978 pounds versus 3,034 for the current three-door GTI - 0-62 miles per hour is now achieved in 6.5 seconds, and top speed is 153 mph. (Cars with the performance pack offer 0-62 mph in 6.4 seconds, and a 155-mph top speed.) Buyers my choose between a six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed DSG unit.
Visually, the new GTI has obviously adopted the slant-nosed looks of the MkVII Golf, though with plenty of added drama. The exterior is dominated by the 17-inch "Brooklyn" wheels wearing 225-section rubber, and the aggressive front fascia gets black honeycombed inserts in the upper and lower grille sections. At launch, Volkswagen will offer the GTI in three colors: the Pure White seen here, Tornado Red and Black. Tartan patterned seats are of course still an option for the interior, while the GTI-specific steering wheel and shift knob are standard.
