Alright i got a great deal from a friend on a rear wheel drive car so i am not sure whats going to happen to my cabrio as of yet. So i will put it up here and if it sells awesome, if not ill Fix it.
I bought this cabrio with a broken timing tensioner so i swapped the engine for the one from my passat. The engine has 85k miles on it. The issue is the engine just started knocking on my way home from a buddys. I stopped driving the car right after i heard the knock but i have no idea why it happened. It never say above 4k rpm and the 2 or 3 times i revved it up was to about 5k. It was full on oil and has never given me trouble but what can you do thats life.
Well lets see It has a brand new water pump and timing kit. It has a TT 260 Cam in it. 5 16" 3 Spoke rims with 225 45 16 tires on them. USRT Shift kit installed with TT Short throw shift lever. I put in a brand new Sachs clutch with Lightened flywheel and new install kit from German auto parts with all the bolts new TO bearing and springs and what have you. Exhaust was just redone with a new Magnaflow muffler installed. New speakers put in it. It has New sti plug wires that come with it. And for the price they are a mod lol. All these parts have about 2-3k miles on them. Me and Ryan (Gimpster) Swapped out the motor just recently. Also the Rear Brakes are brand new with new wheel bearings. I removed the ABS unit so you could adjust the shifting linkage to your liking. All new brake lines. The car is in good shape with an engine swap
Bad is it has a top in not good shape. Ripped all around the back window. No leaking where you sit but it will drop into the rear deck if unattended.
The Interior is all there but dirty. I have cleaned it a bit but its just all stained.
The body and trans have 181k miles on them but no grinding gears or rust.
Dent on Both fenders and the paint is peeling on the hood.
Looking to get 1400 for it in its current condition. Its taking a big loss on parts but factoring in the broken engine. I know that quite a bit of people will be able to swap the ABA
Pictures are coming out to dark tonight so i will update tomorrow.
