1991 Volkswagen Vanagon Carat Pastel White Lifted On 16's 4 Wheel Disc Brakes on 2040-cars
Mansfield, Ohio, United States
|
This is my personal van that I've poured tons of money and time into in the last few years. It's a very reliable machine and has been modified fairly tastefully as far as these go. I've driven this all over my state and rehabbed most of the things that break over their years of owner neglect. I will not sell to anyone outside of the continental United States. I will not assist with any form of shipping at all. The winning bidder must deposit 500.00 via PayPal with the remainder due in person upon pick-up of the vehicle.
1991 vanagon carat in pastel white interior excellent shape with no staining on the upholstery. The rear mattress has a small cigarette burn and the slider door card is missing -all else is in great shape. The interior was removed before pergo was laid down to give a finished "wall to wall" look. Dash is perfect with no cracking, all gauges work as intended. Oil temp and pressure gauges are added to the lower dash to aid in engine monitoring. Stereo-Sony iPod ready head unit with custom door enclosures housing 5-1/4 and 4" speakers along with relocating the window switches. Everything now works as intended. Door window switches roll the windows up as intended without having to do the gowesty mod (I disliked it). New 4" speakers are located in the rear factory locations and Sony 6x9" are located in the hatch. The stereo now has eight total speakers and everything stays with the van. Brakes-fronts are Mercedes sl500 2 piston calipers with vented rotors. This involves a stud conversion kit so no more wheel bolts up front. Rotors are @60mm oversized 16"wheels are necessary for this van. Stopping power is excellent. Rears are eurovan discs. This solid disc uses a caliper actuated parking brake that holds great. All brake parts have @. 4000miles on them and are still practically new. Wheels/tires-wheels are audi a4 16" alloys these have been properly machined to fit. Proper length press fit rear studs and threaded front studs were bought to make these a safe fitment. Tires are cooper rst 60,000 mile tires 98t load just purchase from sears in June. These are also nearly new. Suspension steering-new shocks, upper a-arm bushings, ball joints, used Westy springs to lift 2", new inner tie rods, new outer tie rods, rebuilt rack and pinion, aligned 6/30/2013, new power steering lines, new rear wheel bearings (zerked), new cv boots packed. Transmission-gasket kit this trans is a cleaned and inspected unit that has been resealed from a donor with 151,000miles on it. It was very clean inside no metal. A 1990 trans that does not hack e the defective 3/4 slider issues. Used trans installed with new clutch, synthetic fluid, machined flywheel. Engine-new gowesty billet thermostat housing, stainless water pump pipe, stainless oil cooler pipes, coolant hose kit, new injectors, new belts, new tune up kit, new oil sensors, new o2sensor. Runs very well oil pressure and temps are kept within range . Just a strong running stock water boxer. This has vw heads on it (not amc) but there are obvious signs of a reseal being done on it. I've run it for 2000 miles and bee impressed,the previous engine owner stated it was rebuilt within the last 80k. Hvac-new rear heater core, front blower motor, a/c drier and expansion valve. Things that don't work- Rear hatch and slider central lock motors do not activate. Both fronts do. I never looked into anything else further to pick it apart. Extra central locking parts come with it. Cruise control is sketchy. Sometimes it kicks out on you. Those are the knowns. I have been all over this van. I just can't put any more money into it. Bottom line is I have too many projects and I have to cut my losses. Winning bidder gets my receipts for over 4000.00 that I can account for along with two previous owners worth of documentation. Please only bid if you have the money and means to come get this. |

New investor allows Suzuki to fend off VW
Tue, Aug 4 2015After years of legal wrangling, the long-soured partnership between Volkswagen and Suzuki looks finally to be coming out of arbitration, according to Bloomberg. As a sign of the Japanese brand's improved fortunes, hedge fund Third Point LLC recently bought an undisclosed stake in the company. The investor reported seeing a major opportunity in the successful Maruti Suzuki business in India. As an investment, the only major problem that Third Point found with Suzuki was its legal battle with VW. "The company's greatest asset is its low-cost manufacturing process for vehicles for the emerging market consumer," the fund said in a letter, according to Bloomberg. Third Point reportedly also wants a seat on Suzuki's board, despite being a minority shareholder. The alliance between Suzuki and VW goes back to late 2009. In the deal, the Japanese brand was meant to get access to cutting-edge tech, and the German firm got a helping hand towards better establishing itself in India and Southeast Asia. Things didn't go as planned, though. Less than two years later, Suzuki's boss publicly derided the deal. Eventually, the allegations started going back and forth, and the two have been working out a way to untangle practically ever since. Among the biggest issue has been how to get back the 19.9 percent stake that VW purchased. According to Bloomberg, the arbitration is now technically over. With the divorce nearly final, the two sides are just waiting on a decision on how to split things up. Suzuki may even just buy VW's stake to get the shares back.
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
VW will need to recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India
Wed, Dec 2 2015Volkswagen Group's diesel emissions scandal continues to spread, and now the automaker must recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India because of too much pollution, according to Bloomberg. The campaign covers models from several of the group's brands including VW, Audi, and Skoda. The Automotive Research Association of India first discovered the emissions irregularities after conducting its own real world and lab tests, and the Indian government then commanded VW to explain what was happening. The country's regulators will allow the automaker to set the recall schedule for the repairs, according to a government official who spoke to Bloomberg, and the campaign will likely happen in phases. Among the affected vehicles, there will be about 100,000 from the VW brand including the Jetta, Passat, and some variants of the Polo. VW already has repairs for some of the affected diesel engines in Europe, and the company can allegedly fix the emissions problem with new software and small hardware changes. The situation is harder in the US where regulators still need to approve any proposed solutions, and VW also must now recall its 3.0-liter V6 TDI in California to eliminate other problematic code. The German automaker faces investigations from regulators all over the world into its emissions evasions, and they could be quite costly. One estimate already suggests the minimum price of the potential repairs, fines, and other expenses at about $24.5 billion. Officials in Brazil have already fined the company $13 million for pollution issues with the diesel Amarok pickup and requested a recall to fix them.
