Interesting idea, for the noise it makes alone. Lovely engine - but I didn't think it was that much different size wise to the VR6, so if the bloke can get that in the Mk2, I'd have thought for a little effort this would have gone in.

Certainly will go in a MK2, seen it done. Not much work physically either, although management can be a problem.......i sense something fishy....

Shame the 32 lump didnt come with more power as standard, used to be able to hold on to them easily with my old CTR and i can state the Focus RS slowly walks away.

Too right - the R32 Golf weighs as much as a house, its the biggest weakness of that car, after a lack of power. 240bhp is pretty poor from that engine, although you'd like to think it is so understressed it would last forever!

Think the best car i have had along those lines was a bmw 330 sport, loved the engine in that, that again was faster than an R32 and a CTR.
