Description

This 1992 Volkswagen Golf GTI houses an R32-sourced 3.2-liter VR6 in its smoothed engine bay and has been refinished in Valencia Orange. It is also equipped with an 02A five-speed manual transaxle, 16″ CCW wheels, smoked taillights, Recaro seats, a Sparco steering wheel, and Auto Meter instrumentation. Additional modifications reportedly include Techtonics Tuning camshafts, an Audi TT oil pump, Gruven Parts drive pullies, Dub Power exhaust headers, a Techtronics Tuning exhaust system, a Mishimoto radiator, a Peloquin differential, a Velocity Sport lightweight flywheel, a ClutchNet stage three clutch, and Weitec coilovers. Purchased by the seller on BaT in 2020, this GTI is now offered with service and modification records, a set of four Waterfall Dynamic A/S tires, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean Texas title.

The car was refinished in Valencia Orange during previous ownership and features smoked taillights, a clear rear hatch window, and a single exhaust outlet. Body modifications include deletion of the emblems, marker lights, side mirrors, door handle locks, wiper blades, antenna, and rear spoiler. The exterior trim and rubber seals are said to have been replaced.

Staggered-width 16″ CCW Classic wheels wear 195/40 and 215/35 Dunlop SP9000 tires. The five-lug hubs and suspension were sourced from a Volkswagon Corrado, and Weitec coilovers are fitted along with a manual steering rack and tie rod ends from a Mk3 Golf. The front and rear brakes are from a Mk4, and braided stainless hoses have also been installed.

The cabin features Recaro front buckets and a rear bench upholstered in black leather with a matching replacement dashboard and interior trim. The door speaker fixtures were filled, the stereo and climate control systems were removed, and the battery was relocated to the rear hatch area.

A Sparco steering wheel frames an Auto Meter/Stack Pro-Comp Pro Race Dash display that consists of an 8k-rpm tachometer and a monochrome screen. The digital odometer on the replacement cluster shows 19k miles. The seller notes that the gauge cluster is not calibrated correctly, total mileage is unknown. Two of the steering wheel mounting bolts are missing.

The 3.2-liter VR6 was sourced from an R32 and has reportedly been modified with Techtonics Tuning camshafts, an Audi TT oil pump, Gruven Parts drive pullies, Dub Power exhaust headers, a Techtronics Tuning exhaust system with a Magnaflow muffler, and a Velocity Sport lightweight flywheel. Additional equipment is said to include BFI engine mounts, a Mishimoto radiator, and a custom coolant reservoir and piping. The seller notes the power steering, air conditioning, and heater have been removed.

Power is routed to the front wheels through a 02A five-speed manual transaxle, which is reportedly equipped with a ClutchNet stage three clutch.
