UPDATE 2: I moved, decided to bring this with me to daily drive (30 mpg ftw)....... Any way........ still really want to sell it.
So let me know if anyone is interested, I have a few boxes worth of spare parts including an engine block and another set of springs.
MAKE OFFERS, MKIIs are getting rarer and rarer.
UPDATE: I AM MOVING THIS SATURDAY!!!!!!
THIS NEEDS TO GO BEFORE THEN!!!!!!
I CANNOT TAKE IT WITH ME!!!!!
MAKE AN OFFER, SELLING AS IS TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER BEFORE THAT DAY.
Keep in mind you are buying a brand new transmission and motor!!!!!!
Most of you know me and my sick car obsession and constant builds, and constant selling of cars that I end up not finishing.......
Any way.....
This is one of them......
BUT as you all know, even my ¨daily,beaters¨are always built right, and perform better than most.
YOU also know I write long detailed Threads, so read it all if you want to know what your really getting or read the main points if you just want to know what your getting. Or scroll to bottom for pictures and videos.
Let me get the bad stuff out of the way:
-It needs paint, previous owner rattle caned it black.
-A few faded exterior plastic bits here and there
-Car could use a tune, I am working on that at the moment.
-Car was stolen at one point so it hold a rebuilt title. (but the car is obviously rebuilt....... so even if it had never been stolen same thing)
I purchased this car not even half a year ago in hopes of building my dream MK2 project. When I purchased the car it ran as the previous owner built one of the most amazing 8 valve motors I have ever driven. The issue with the car was that the transmission was shit. About a month ago I had the transmission fully rebuilt, and had the LSD serviced. So now the car is 100% ready to go, it honestly shifts perfectly. Chirping tires on second gear in a sub 200whp car is awesome.
About the motor:
Previous owner is a serious VW gear head, he built these 8valvers for his desert buggies and rail cars since the early 90s. He knows these things inside and out.
I was thinking of finding a 16v car or possibly a vr6 swapped car when i begun my journey in the mk2 world, But found this motor build and it blew my mind.
He took the stock 8v block and head, added high compression pistons (car is now 11:1), fully rebuilt everything, port and polish, head work, pro cam, etc..etc.... Motor is fully built, like I said previously it could use a solid tune. But at the moment the way it is set up it is being daily driven with out any issues, pulls the whole way to redline. I am contacting techno tuning about getting some sort of engine management in place, but they said it would bring no benefit to get a stand alone, instead they said a few physical tweaks and maybe a ¨chip¨will do the trick.
As it sits the low end torque is AMAZING, im feeling (butt dyno) a solid 150 torque at the wheels before i even hit 2.5k rpm and that torque never goes away. Seriously these 8valvers are amazing street cars, and when you get them above 4k rpm their just railing banshees at WOT.
All that being said the car does need some fine tuning but it is amazing as it sits.
The guys at techno tuning and the builder both confirmed that the set up is capable of doing atleast 165 whp/tq on pump. The Builder said he had previous identical builds with really good tuning hit the 190 whp range, but honestly even if its making the 165whp/tq its more than enough. Imagine an mk2 gti with almost twice the power, and better handling.
Also the previous Owner put a brand new 2.5 inch all the way back exhaust system in place for me before bought the car. Its nothing fancy but it performs and has that signature gti popcorn exhaust haha. its awesome.
As far as suspension goes, I will need to recap with my buddy but its just lowering/stiffening springs. Honestly rides awesome and handles great, but yeah dont expect a track set up here hahaha.
What else can I say?
The car is amazing, I really do want to finish it specially after investing in the new transmission. Its really a paint job, and tires/wheels away from being a finished MK2.
Why am I selling it?
I found a new project that I simply cannot let go of.
Plus it would be helping out the guy who needs to get rid of it.
So its a win win situation for everyone.
How much do I want for it?
Well like I said im not flipping for a profit I just want to help a guy out and get myself an awesome new project in the process.
I paid $2.5k for this car in a non running condition. Ofcourse it came with a brand new motor, plus a TON of parts which I will include.
Since then I have invested a new Transmission and a few other tid bits here and there. (atleast put another 4k into the car)
If I am going to sell this for cash I want atleast: $4,000 obo
MIGHT consider trades but they have to have atleast $1500 on top so I can help my buddy out.
Ok now pictures and videos (I will grab more and better pictures):
