Purchased the car in the beginning of the year with most of the mods done already. It was basically a weekend car for my friend, but I worked to make it daily driveable and used it as a daily driver until recently. It was multiple colors when I got it and I took on the task of getting it repainted to its original color, PhoenixRot. Also had the antenna hole, sidemarker holes and rear emblems shaved

Engine and transmission in it is a legit JH motor with a new timing belt, new headgasket, lots of new seals and gaskets. Also has a reinforced oil pan. Has Neuspeed throttle body, big bore intake pipe, and header. Brand new clutch bolted to the 4 speed transmission.New gas tank but no surge baffle. New fuel pump and lines. New strut mounts **New clutch in 6/13** . **New battery and alternator from 2/13**.

Corrado 11.1 brakes in the front with Momentum adapters, big master cylinder (25mm), all stainless lines, rear beam with discs in the rear. 16V prop valves. Scirocco K-Bar in the front. Autotech front & rear sway, poly bushings. Adjustable rear upper tie bar. H&R UltraLows. 16' ATS Type 10s with Yokohoma rubber.

Interior wise its sparse. All the gauges have been replaced with Autometer ultra lite units and all function. New fuse box with relayed fans (common short out issue on early cars). Has a new carpet kit and a unknown brand of Recaro knock offs. Cabby dash houses the Autometer gauges, headlight switch and a fan switch. No Stereo, but has speakers in the door and all the wiring the deck needs is ready to go.

Other misc stuff from my notes
Rear Caliper Swap
11' front brake upgrade
25mm cylinder upgrade
E-Brake cables
New brake booster
New rear braided SS brake lines
New front braided SS brake lines
Ate Super Blue
New MK3 brake light switch
Fuel pump blanket
Fuel pump hose clamps
Fuel tank (no baffle)
Rear wheel spacers
New heater core
Accelerator grommet
Rear motor mount
Passenger motor mount
New shift linkage
New radiator
Fan shroud swap
New airbox
Full gasket set
Intermediate shaft seal
Crank shaft seal
Timing cover bolts
Knock off Recaro SRDs/Sparco sliders
New plugs
New wires
New cap and rotor
New clutch cable spacer/grommet

BAD:
Car has a two spots of rust that should get fixed at some point. These aren't critical points on the car and is fairly normal for a German VW from this era. I have the brand new pass side floor piece that has enough new sheetmetal to fix both pieces. Engine bay didnt get painted either, but I would assume that the new owner would want something more than just a JH motor so that could be addressed then

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.

Audi CEO Rupert Stadler: Ducati is not for sale

Sat, Jun 18 2016

"Ducati is not for sale." Those words, attributed to Audi CEO Rupert Stadler, are about as clear and definitive as can be, and they reiterate a previous statement about the potential sale of the premium Italian motorcycle brand that was made in March of this year. "[Ducati and Lamborghini] belong to Audi and, together with us, have an excellent future," said Stadler. Thing is, Audi, as well-off and established as it may be, still falls under the Volkswagen umbrella. And, as you're surely aware, things haven't exactly been smooth sailing for the VW Group over the last several months. The German automaker has squirreled away billions of dollars in anticipation of the legal fallout that's sure to come from the falsification of vehicle emissions data, and that's going to leave the company strapped for cash. All of that bad news led to speculation that VW could sell off some of its non-core businesses. What of the future of the Scania and Man heavy truck brands? Those don't currently appear to be on the auction block, either. VW's continued involvement in the HD truck segment was announced as part of the brand's TOGETHER - Strategy 2025 plan, in which Volkswagen outlined plans to push further into vehicle electrification and vehicle autonomy.

Volkswagen CrossBlue previews a three-row future, diesel-hybrid power [w/video]

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Volkswagen looks to be getting ready to jump into the large three-row crossover game. The automaker has officially pulled back the curtain on the CrossBlue Concept at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Designers and engineers penned the machine specifically for the Canadian and US markets, and with a plug-in diesel electric hybrid drivetrain, the hulking five-door, at least in concept form, should offer substantially better efficiency than anything else on the market. The drivetrain pairs a 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined output of 305 horsepower and a ludicrous 516 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles shifting detail, while one electric motor spins the front wheels. The second motor spins the back axle independently, make the CrossBlue a through-the-road hybrid.
As a result, the crossover can pop to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. Perhaps more impressively, the CrossBlue can whir around on all-electric propulsion for up to 14 miles at up to 75 mph. Once the diesel four kicks in, the drivetrain can yield up to 39 mpg, though Volkswagen says the hardware can hit 89 MPGe on a full charge thanks to a 9.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Check out the full press release below for more information.
