2012 Volkswagen Jetta on 2040-cars
Palm Harbor, Florida, United States
If you have any questions or would like to view the car in person please email me at: latanyalhherbel@ukwriters.net .
Okay, where do I start? Firstly, I don't need to sell the car, but I've got my eyes on something else, and I can't
go forward with that until I free up some space. I've 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. They've 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
that's gone into the car or that's 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. There's a 100+ page build thread on Vortex about the car, since the day I got
it, and everything it's 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, there's just way way way too much to list and talk about. If you're
serious about the car, feel free to mesage me, and we can further discuss it. I'll 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 GLI
6 Speed Manual
23,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: It's 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.

2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes
Sun, 06 Jan 2013The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]
Fri, 18 Dec 2009Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
