Okay, where do I start? Firstly, I dont need to sell the car, but Ive got my eyes on something else, and I cant go forward with that until I free up some space. Ive been through it all with this car. Blood, sweat, tears, anger, frustration, excitement, and a few bank accounts. Been building the car since I purchased it new, nearly 4 years ago. I can finally say the car is as perfect as it can get, and running stronger than ever. The car has never been in any accidents. The only damage it ever had was a front bumper that got damaged from road debris. I have since purchased a new OEM bumper. The car has now gone through a full metal widebody build with matching front and rear bumpers. Both front and rears have been widened approximately an extra 2.5. All work has been done by Decaudellas in Melbourne, FL. . The body on the car is a 9.5/10.Currently the only cosmetic flaw is a small chip on left side of rear bumper. I can get a picture for those serious. Those that are familiar with Clay and his shop (Decaudellas), know that his work is nothing short of perfect, show quality. Around the same time, I had a custom 4 point roll cage built for the car and powder coated white to match the exterior. It is easily removable if desired. Along with cage, 4 point harnesses also went in. The only people that have ever touched this car are either myself, or almost always USP Motorsports in Coral Springs,FL - not even local VW dealers. Theyve done all of the major work on the car, from custom parts, to suspension, full engine and transmission build, etc, etc, etc. I have receipts and invoices of every single thing thats gone into the car or thats been done to it since the day I purchased it. Over $60k worth of labor and parts (I have ALL receipts). I gladly welcome PPI to those that are serious. For those that know the car, know it. Theres a 100+ page build thread on Vortex about the car, since the day I got it, and everything its been through. From the time it was bagged, to when I decided to go APR stage 3+, to an even bigger turbo upgrade with custom tuning, to the 10 second quarter mile runs, built head, etc etc.. I could go on and on about this car really, theres just way way way too much to list and talk about. If youre serious about the car, feel free to mesage me, and we can further discuss it. Ill also give you my phone number for direct contact if serious. And NO, I will not part out any of the car. On to specs: 2012 GLI6 Speed Manual23,xxx miles (car gets driven about 1-2 times every two or three weeks.)Single Owner car. I bought it new, and have had it ever since. Engine: Its bulletproof. The built head was finally put on and tested at about 18k miles. When the motor was apart at that same time, everything was checked, including pistons, rods, cylinder walls, compression, everything. The motor is perfect, healthy. Not a single hint of any problems, no leaks, nothing. The car currently has two custom APR tunes. One for 93 octane, which makes anywhere from 420-450 ish whp depending on boost settings, and a race gas tune which makes 520-580 whp depending on boost settings. There is a Greddy Profec Spec II boost controller to keep track of all that. Everything of which I will go over with whoever is serious about the car. Also have dyno sheets of everything, videos, etc. There was a new Precision 5858 turbo put in around 16k miles, so everything is like new. -Custom APR tune for 93 and race gas-IE Rods- Calico ceramic coated rod bearings-ARP head studs-balanced internals-Built head with full revised Ferrea TSi valvetrain kit-BSH catch can-BSH motor mounts, transmission mount, dog bone mount-APR intercooler-APR injectors-HEP custom aluminum intake manifold-USP throttle body pipe-APR Carbonio intake-APR stage3+ kit (modified)-USP low pressure fuel system-USP modified HPFP / fuel system-Upgraded coil packs-Modified APR exhaust manifold-Tial 5858 turbo-Forge diverter valve-Custom USP downpipe and full 3 exhaust, catless, muffler only-custom external wastegate dump-2 step/launch control (never used it, but easily adjusted to be used)-Braille lightweight lithium-ion battery with trickle charger (4 pounds) I know there is more to the list, and Im probably forgetting it.

Import pickup truck-killing Chicken Tax to be repealed?
Tue, Jun 30 2015After over 50 years, the so-called Chicken Tax may finally be going the way of the dodo. Two pending trade deals with countries in the Pacific Rim and Europe potentially could open the US auto market up to imported trucks, if the measures pass. Although, it still might be a while before you can own that Volkswagen Amarok or Toyota Hilux, if ever. The 25-percent import tariff that the Chicken Tax imposes on foreign trucks essentially makes the things all but impossible to sell one profitably in the US, which lends a distinct advantage to domestic pickups. Both the Trans-Pacific Partnership with 12 counties and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union would finally end the charge. According to Automotive News though, don't expect new pickups to flood the market, at least not immediately. These deals might roll back the tariff gradually over time, and in the case of Japan, it could be as long as 25 years before fully free trade. Furthermore, Thailand, a major truck builder in Asia, isn't currently part of the deal, and any new models here would still need to meet safety and emissions rules, as well. Automotive News gauged the very early intentions of several automakers with foreign-built trucks, and they weren't necessarily champing at the bit to start imports. Toyota thinks the Hilux sits between the Tundra and Tacoma, and Mazda doesn't think the BT-50 fits its image here. Also, VW doesn't necessarily want to bring the Amarok over from Hannover. There is previous precedent for companies at least considering bringing in pickup trucks after the Chicken Tax's demise, though. The Pacific free trade deal could be done as soon as this fall, while the EU one is likely further out, according to Automotive News. Given enough time, the more accessible ports could allow some new trucks to enter the market.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
Recharge Wrap-Up: Tesla, CarCharging and the EPA
Sat, Aug 23 2014Credit Suisse analysts are bullish on Tesla. The group gives the electric car company's stock an "outperform" rating with a target price of $325. For its continued success, Credit Suisse cites the vehicles' superior technology, in turn offering more torque, roominess and reliability. Says analyst Dan Galves said of Tesla's competition with ICEs, "If Tesla can get to cost-parity with Internal Combustion vehicles and still offer $1,400 to $2,500 per year fuel savings to the consumer, it won't be a fair fight." Read more at Yahoo Finance or at Business Insider. In other Tesla news, Tesla Model S owners will be able to unlock and start their car using an iPhone. The Tesla app is adding this functionality soon, perhaps with the update to iOS 8. It's not yet clear how this function will work, but it's one more innovative convenience feature that Model S owners can enjoy. That means drivers will have less to carry in their pockets or purses when they go for a drive. Read more at 9 to 5 Mac. CarCharging Group has remotely lowered the amperage on some of its residential users' Blink charging stations to 24 amps. This will slow down the charging time for affected customers with 6.6-kilowatt charging by about 15 percent. The company cited safety reasons for the move, with concerns about overheating. The amperage reduction is temporary, until CarCharging is able to provide replacement parts for the chargers. Some are concerned about the delayed action, as well as the fact that the reduction was handled without owner permission. Read more at Plugin Cars. Ford is halting test drives and sales of certain C-Max hybrid and Focus models due to a safety concern. Cars made during a single week this month at a Michigan factory may not have enough ball bearings in the steering gear assembly, which could lead to loss of control. None of the affected cars have been sold, Ford says, and about 50 units are currently at dealerships. Just over 600 will need to be recalled. Dealerships have been notified of the problem. Read more at Reuters and the The Detroit News. A new EPA report shows that urban air in the US is becoming less toxic since the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The report shows a 66-percent reduction in benzene, almost 60 percent reduction in mercury from man-made sources, 84 percent less lead and more.
