Volkswagen Golf Vr6 Gti 5speed Swap177k Clean Title Quick!!!! on 2040-cars

Year:1997 Mileage:177900
Location:

San Diego, California, United States

San Diego, California, United States

 I bought this little car believing I would want to have it for the street.I invested just about $2k in the engine alone.It is a 1997 chassis GTI.Formerly it was a 1.8 four cylinder.When I got the car it had a VR6 swap done on it but the engine was toast.I located a 100k mile year 2000 VR6 locally, and after much work and rewiring she is a little screamer.It has so much power on tap that a simple push of the gas pedal lights the tires up.The 5 speed is tight and clutch is strong.Probably why the last motor bearings got fried,racing the crap out of it.Anyhow she is a runner /driver once again.This car is a very quick little machine and a total sleeper with no VR6 badging what so ever.The paint is fair as is the interior.The suspension is all after market and adjustable front and rear.The tires are good as are the brakes and rotors.I have a sway bar bushing kit that goes with it.The car has hi flow cats and large diameter hi flow exhaust.She is loud when you nail the throttle and quiet when you are driving sane.And that is the hard part. Even after having the fun I am having I dont really see me keeping this car regardless as I am 54 and this is a bit much for me.It has Neuspeed strut brace as well.I will happily help you arrange shipment to your location.I am interested in a out of state purchase as California wants you to jump thru hoops to get smog done.Those days are gone here.This car is not not to far from being a race car in my opinion.She has a current clean California title and a bill of sale.The car fax should tell you any holes in the history.Thanks and good luck

Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

The launch of a new Volkswagen Golf is never a small thing, and things are already looking up for the subcompact hatchback after it was named 2013 World Car of the Year. While we've already seen the base and GTI versions of the next-generation Golf, now we're getting our first look at the sportier Golf R.
Although this prototype wears GTI lettering on the front fenders, it's more than just the roll cage and Sparco racing seat hinting that this is something a little more serious. Unlike the Golf and GTI, this car shows that the Golf R will continue to flaunt massive air intakes on each side of the fascia, and the rear of the car (though it's hard to see) has quadruple exhaust outlets. We still don't have an official word on power, but rumors indicate that the next Golf R could be pushing close to 300 horsepower, making it the most powerful production Golf ever. As much fun as we had during our first drive of the Golf R Cabriolet in the cold, snowy French Riviera last month, more power is a warming idea.

Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world

Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
