The mk2 looks the business Rash. Are you coming to JKM tomorow?

If you are going to go for an engine transplant..........definitely go for a VR6 lump. Yeah it is a bit heavier and yeah it is harder/more expensive to tune then a 1.8t...............but the sound of the V6 cannot be beaten by any 1.8t lump.

Hopefully get to chat to you again tomorrow.

think it would be a good idea to get it all running on its own first make sure everything is working no smoking knocking crunching ect then when im happy the engine will cope i will buy the kit and have it all professionally done and mapped
