2007 Volkswagen Gti Thunderbunny/apr Tuned/stoptech Brakes/coil-over Suspension on 2040-cars
Kansas City, Missouri, United States
I'm the 2nd owner since the car had 25,500 miles. Adult owned for almost 4 years and never smoked in. Volkswagen of America just replaced the DSG with a new one at 79,500 miles because of a VW dealership's carelessness during a transmission service. A new DSG is about $6,000. Car is tuned with APR stage 1 (stock mode, 91 octane, 93 octane and 100 octane). Car has all new Goodridge SS brake lines with StopTech slotted rotors and StopTech street pads with TyrolSport brass bushing brake caliper stiffening kit, all changed out at 79k. Solo-werks coilovers with front 034 Density strut mounts installed at 82k. Car has 17" Audi RS replica wheels (perfect condition) with all-season Cooper RS3-A tires with approximately 3,500 miles that have a 40,000 mile manufacturer warranty. These wheels also have TPMS installed. All black textured trim has been changed to the rare OEM VW Thunderbunny sideskirts and Thunderbunny rear bumper with LED license plate lights. Front lip is a smoothed OEM candy white Jetta lip. Transformation started when someone rear ended me at about 5mph. I opted for the bumper, then changed the lip when the front bumper was replaced after shredded tire road debris (paperwork available). Some rub marks on the front passenger side fender wheel well (pictures available). Also replaced were cam follower (replaced at 75k) and most recently revised diverter valve and valve cover. Interior cloth is in great shape. Car was already tinted when I purchased it, doors are around 35% and the rear is just about as dark as it gets. The car was already wired for an amp and subwoofer. In addition, the doors and floor of the rear hatch have been layered with sound deadening mat. Sunroof works perfectly, no problems. Car has been waxed twice yearly during my 4 year ownership and the HID headlight is clear as new and no hazing. Synthetic oil changes every 5,000 miles and not the recommended 10k by VW. All recalls have been performed and I just replaced the air filter and an oil change. DSG service occurs every 40k and won't be needed until the car reaches 120,000 miles. You will not find another DSG GTI on eBay with 7,000 miles! My entire reason for selling is because I'm moving to an all-year-round summer climate and I'm wanting to get back into a roadster. This car has been great daily driver and a blast to drive. Very quick with the tune, better handling with new suspension and brakes way better than the stock rotors and pads. I've had quite a bit of Vag-com work done. The two key fobs can control driver and passenger side windows (up and down) in addition to closing the sunroof. The rear hatch release button on the key fobs has been activated that was not an option in the U.S. The HID Xenon headlights have been turned off as daytime running lights and the fog lights have been turned on as daytime running lights. Also, had the seat belt chime turned off in case you don't like wearing a seat belt (which I don't recommend). I'm in no way associated with APR but check out their website for information on the tune. The GTI's stock numbers are 200 HP/ 207 TQ. APR's tune raises horsepower to 252 and torque to 303 on 93 octane gasoline.
In my auction's last photo I have my OEM VW roof bars with two OEM VW barracuda racks, NOT available in my asking price. Also for sale for $400 and before taxes they are $680 new from VW. This is a car that has had all normal wear parts replaced with... new springs/struts ($720 before labor), new brake pads/rotors and lines and fluid ($750 before labor), new all-season tires ($550 before install) and a new transmission $6,000. $250 deposit is non-refundable to attract serious buyers. I live in Kansas City but from St. Louis which is where my loan is located. The car can be picked up in either city once payment clears. Shoot me an offer if you'd like the all season wheels, the summers or both. Please feel free to ask me any questions. Thanks! |

Volkswagen iBeetle gets integrated iPhone dock, little else
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Apple fans have been itching to see the tech giant flex the full muscle of its iOS operating system in an automotive infotainment system for years, which is why we turned all sorts of excited when we caught wind of the Volkswagen iBeetle. The machine is headed to the Shanghai Motor Show for a debut, and VW promised it would be one of the "first cars in the world to have a genuine integrative interface for the iPhone that was coordinated with Apple." Listen closely, and you can hear the contented sigh of a million wallets opening.
Go ahead and close those up, kids.
In reality, the iBeetle offers little more than a dash-mounted dock and a special app that shows a few vehicle functions, which is about as far from an infotainment revolution as you're likely to find. In fact, the setup is little more than a factory rehash of aftermarket items, and hardly worth a whole model debut at an international motor show. And that's to say nothing of the fact that Apple relishes in changing the shape and form of its darling handheld at every generation. Volkswagen better be prepared to keep pace with appropriate docking mechanisms for the upcoming iPhone 5S, 6, 6S, et al.
Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
