Im moving into my new place at the end of the month and have been given a shabby Golf GTi 8v 3 door for doing so.
Im hoping to get rid of the MR2 Turbo this month so that will put some cash in my pocket.
I want to use the Golf as a track day car but with that puny 112BHP :( its a bit limp wristed.
What work is invloved in fitting the Audi TT 1.8T engine into the shell?
I dont feel like flying around the track come National Day in my 7 series auto:wasntme:
Get ya bum over to www.edition38.co.uk/forums for some VAG advice. There's not much those boys haven't done :)
At least it won't leave you stranded on the hard shoulder in a foreign country :wasntme:Quote:

Always fancied a Mk2 Golf with a VR6 dropped in
you know how heavy those lumps are?!?
fecking heavy the ole vr's
This isn't really going to help in any way, but I feel like stating it anyway... I used to have a brilliant walk through guide for the vag conversion into a mk2 Golf, i've now lost it.
excellent :wasntme:Quote:
