1977 Vw Rabbit on 2040-cars

Year:1977 Mileage:9000
Location:

Fullerton, California, United States

Purchased the car in the beginning of the year with most of the mods done already. It was basically a weekend car for my friend, but I worked to make it daily driveable and used it as a daily driver until recently. It was multiple colors when I got it and I took on the task of getting it repainted to its original color, PhoenixRot. Also had the antenna hole, sidemarker holes and rear emblems shaved

Engine and transmission in it is a legit JH motor with a new timing belt, new headgasket, lots of new seals and gaskets. Also has a reinforced oil pan. Has Neuspeed throttle body, big bore intake pipe, and header. Brand new clutch bolted to the 4 speed transmission.New gas tank but no surge baffle. New fuel pump and lines. New strut mounts **New clutch in 6/13** . **New battery and alternator from 2/13**.


Corrado 11.1 brakes in the front with Momentum adapters, big master cylinder (25mm), all stainless lines, rear beam with discs in the rear. 16V prop valves. Scirocco K-Bar in the front. Autotech front & rear sway, poly bushings. Adjustable rear upper tie bar. H&R UltraLows. 16' ATS Type 10s with Yokohoma rubber.


Interior wise its sparse. All the gauges have been replaced with Autometer ultra lite units and all function. New fuse box with relayed fans (common short out issue on early cars). Has a new carpet kit and a unknown brand of Recaro knock offs. Cabby dash houses the Autometer gauges, headlight switch and a fan switch. No Stereo, but has speakers in the door and all the wiring the deck needs is ready to go.

Other misc stuff from my notes
Rear Caliper Swap
11' front brake upgrade
25mm cylinder upgrade
E-Brake cables
New brake booster
New rear braided SS brake lines
New front braided SS brake lines
Ate Super Blue
New MK3 brake light switch
Fuel pump blanket
Fuel pump hose clamps
Fuel tank (no baffle)
Rear wheel spacers
New heater core
Accelerator grommet
Rear motor mount
Passenger motor mount
New shift linkage
New radiator
Fan shroud swap
New airbox
Full gasket set
Intermediate shaft seal
Crank shaft seal
Timing cover bolts
Knock off Recaro SRDs/Sparco sliders
New plugs
New wires
New cap and rotor
New clutch cable spacer/grommet

BAD:
Car has a two spots of rust that should get fixed at some point. These aren't critical points on the car and is fairly normal for a German VW from this era. I have the brand new pass side floor piece that has enough new sheetmetal to fix both pieces. Engine bay didnt get painted either, but I would assume that the new owner would want something more than just a JH motor so that could be addressed then

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.

1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013


Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
