Olympia, Washington, United States
|
Thanks for checking out my Turn Key 72 Bay Window Bus, It's ready to hit the highway for a road trip! Everything has been gone through on this bus! All new electrical wiring, and
fuel system replaced, as well now has a low mile (30k) 1.9 Turbo Diesel engine
purchased from Quality German Auto Parts, they are a direct importer of VW replacement parts. . This is the highly sought
after AAZ engine code. Has completely rebuilt and tuned Bosch
injection pump, as well as new Bosch fuel injector nozzles, all pop
tested and ready for a long service life. Also worth mentioning, new
alternator has about a year on it, but only about 1500 miles of driving, changed Timing Belt, and tensioner at pump
install, new battery, new clutch/pressure plate/ flywheel/ pilot bearing, new tires, brakes are great, new seals about a
year ago, all of the doors open and close really smooth and nice. I
also have 2 new black vinyl seat covers for front seats, that are not
installed, but included. this is the only diesel bus I know of, and using all Factory Vw
engine/bellhousing/transmission/flywheel, no cheesy adapter plates of
any kind. Has all new Torqu Flo electric cooling fan, with temp switch,
nice AutoMeter boost gauge, and EGT gauge, temp gauge, engine is tuned now to about 15 lbs of boost. Runs
awesome, get stopped everywhere I go in it. Best part is an easy
veggie burner conversion, and can help with that if paid in full. Only
selling after all of this work due to changing careers and raising funds
for start up. Thanks for checking it out. Oh, and gets about 35 miles
a gallon in town. Would be a perfect
cross country trip rig! or Maybe pull your Ghia to the track? Let me
know if your interested. Engine bay was all sanded and primed,
sanded again, and painted white/black, and has reflective backed wool sound
deading material on the underside of the rear deck to keep the clickity
clackity to the tailpipe and not in the cab, very quiet inside as normal. These engines came stock in VW Golfs, Jetta's, Passats, and many more, and have been a very popular swap in Vanagons, and many light 4x4 Conversions. Not hard to see why, with there great fuel mileage, and longevity, many on the road with over 300k miles on them and running perfect. I have done over a dozen diesel conversions, and as you can see, I keep everything as simple as possible, and tastefully clean. The floors are solid, and look new under the rubber floor mat, overall a really nice van, there are minor paint imperfections that you can notice up close, but just normal rock dings or what have ya. Nothing major by all means, there is a small spot on the drivers side middle under the windows that had a stick on decal of sorts, and peeled up a litt, Just do not want to give the impressions it is a show quality trailer queen, but definitely a way above average nice cruiser. Also, has all new wood slat luggage rack installed. It Does not have A/C, I got a lot of questions about that before. Email with any questions and will get right back to you.

VW Beetle R is one mean bug
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
