Find of the Day: 1989 Jetta Coupe 1.8t

Sometimes going big isn’t the best course of action. Sometimes it’s better to have a clear vision and execute it effectively, even if that means being reasonable. That’s because sometimes the result turns out to be this 1989 Jetta Coupe.

Being sold by forum user jaysvw in Arizona, you could almost say that this Jetta had just been cleaned up. That conceals the amount of work that really went into this, but cool things are always cooler when they look easy.

With shaved side markers and antenna hole, euro bumpers—Euro OEM out back and Euro aftermarket up front—smoked E-Code headlights, the spoiler from a GLI, and trim sprayed black, this Jetta looks simple and elegant. And with H&R ultra low coilovers and BBS RS 16 inch wheels, the stance is just right, too.

The wheels, though, hide the front brakes from a Corrado G60, while under the hood the 1.8t with a stage 1 tune has been put under the hood. Again, jaysvw hasn’t gone nuts, but that’s okay because he’s given the Jetta more engine without giving it more engine than it can handle.

And for this black and white beauty, he’s asking $8,000. Check out the full listing on the forum.

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...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
