1988 Vanagon Westfalia Diesel / Syncro Conversion
This van is ready to anywhere. Currently has 133,*** miles, has a clean Oregon title with noted fuel type as diesel. This is not a TDI it is a Turbo Indirect Injection Diesel so there are no electronics to fail you out in the woods. The engine is very similar to the 1.9 AZZ motors and many of the parts are identical. The benefit of the 5 cylinder turbo is smother operation as well as a little more horsepower and torque. Items replaced and upgraded. 1. 1 year old full window out factory white paint job removed exterior utilities for ensure no water gets into the van. All utilities still function great and water tank is filled from the inside with a hose to keep filling outside the van. 2. GoWesty steel bumpers with intergraded rear hitch 3. Round H4 headlights with high output lights and relays 4. Audi 5000 Indirect Injected Turbo Diesel Rebuilt with ~1000 miles. 5. New rebuilt injection pump and Water cooled Turbo Charger 6. New injectors and Glow Plugs 7. New water pump 8. New timing belt 9. New Big diesel rebuilt Bosch starter 10. South African Perfect Fit Bell Housing 11. South African engine carrier bar 12. New hydraulic motor mounts 13. Rebuilt transmission stock gearing to maintain the best overall performance and strength. 14. New Audi 5000 clutch 15. New Audi 5000 pressure plate 16. Locking rear differential 17. Locking front differential 18. Decoupler for quick changing form 2WD to All Wheel Drive 19. New Front and rear axles and joints. New driveshaft as well. 20. New GoWesty Syncro Progressive 2” lift Springs 21. New Old Man Emu Shocks and Struts 22. Front big brake kit upgrade 23. New rear drum brakes and wheel cylinders 24. Flushed entire brake system 25. New front end bushings and ball joints 26. New front wheel bearings 26. All new window seals, scrapers and felts 28. Newer Pop top seals 29. New 3 window acrylic GoWesty canvas 30. Upgrade refrigerator 12 volt works way better than the original 3 way refrigerator (look at the pictures within 5 minutes the cooling section was down to 8 degrees 31. Duel battery system 32. Eight Mercedes 16 x 7.5 et46 wheels 33. Goodyear MTR 225/75/16" tires in good condition mounted currently 34. AllTerrain Tire Set Wildcat tires same size as above 35. Updated stereo system Kenwood CD player high performance speakers. Currently in protect mode, so there may be a faulty gound. 36. Sound deadening in all doors and panels The list goes on and on. There has been a lot of work done to this van and it also has a lot of great upgrades. I really do not want to sell it, but I have relocated to Hawaii. I do not feel I need a Syncro as nice as this on a small island. This van wants to play in the snow camp in the woods and celebrate to open roads. I have this van listed in multiple places and if the van sells through thte other listings I will pull the ad. Please let me know if you have ay questions. One question I tend to get is what would you do next? I would add a water methanol cooler system, I feel this will bring out the best intake cooling as well provide more horsepower. Systems can be purchased for $500, I have already tapped the intake to make this modification very easy to complete. Currently I am in Maui and the van can be view at Halsey Imports by appointment. Please contact me if you would like to see the van or have a pre purchase inspection completed. Aloha Joe,

Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible gets the R-Line treatment

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Volkswagen just launched the topless Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, but we're already seeing the next step forward in the topless Bug range with this, the R-Line. We'll admit, this treatment falls under the "all show and no go" category, but it's still a pretty potent little cutie.
The R-Line starts with a standard Beetle Turbo Convertible but adds unique 19-inch aluminum wheels on lower-profile tires, LED daytime running lamps and Xenon headlamps. Naturally, there are R-Line badges aplenty both on the interior and exterior, and we must say, the whole package looks pretty darn snazzy.
Pricing has yet to be announced, but when it goes on sale later this year, the hotter convertible will join Volkswagen's growing R-Line portfolio that now includes the CC, Beetle hatch, Tiguan and Touareg.
