Find of the Day: 16 Valve Turbo Mk1 Volkswagen Golf

In the wake of the TDI fiasco, our normal laps around the web’s various marketplaces have become a bit more frequent. Luckily for us, we were able to find a brief distraction from the 24 hour news cycle’s unrelenting coverage in this 1983 Rabbit track car.

Coming in at just 2005lbs with a half take of fuel, this Golf’s 305whp is more than enough to get our blood flowing. In order to improve traction, a Berg Cup kit has been fitted to allow for 275-width Hoosier slicks, which paired with KW Coilovers and Neuspeed sway bars should work wonders in keeping the 16 valve turbo under control.

All of the work on this appears to be top notch, and expensive. The seller claims to have roughly “$20-25k in parts alone” in this build, and we believe it. It also makes the already reasonable asking price of just $9,000 even more fair.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...
