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.

VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
Volkswagen hatches hotter GTI in Geneva
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.
The big news for this generation of GTI is that for the first time ever, Volkswagen is actually offering two different power grades for the model, both relying on the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four. Standard cars pack 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but an optional performance pack ups the horsepower number to 230. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes 6.5 seconds (6.4 with the performance pack) and top speed is quoted at 153 mph (or 155 with the performance kit). Volkswagen will continue to offer the GTI with both six-speed manual and dual-clutch transmissions.
On the visual front, the sub-3,000-pound GTI adds the usual bit of hot hatch aggression over the standard Golf, and those changes carry over to the interior with a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, plaid seats. She's certainly a looker, and while some of us do find the new Golf's design to be a bit staid and evolutionary, the enhancements for the GTI indeed tug on our enthusiast heart strings.
