Oh im so glad you said that, just been offerd one from a guy on ED38.

Do you know if thats a 225 version or the 210 as this is the reason hes selling because he got the 225 in error.

I`d be chuffed if mine ends up in that position.

Same tip! The engines are barely different! Different code on the ecu and I think the very early s3 engines (ayp) had stronger rods or pins, or something like that. I don’t know of any other differences.:D

Contact forge if your sure there different. :confused:

Just found this thread HoocH, must say very, very impressed, nice to see such an effort put into doing something different, I have no doubts that the result will be excellent, and my only dissapointment is that I wont be able to make the SCN meet to see this puppy. Also the new show wheels must be very nice if they're better than those split BBS's

Keep up the good work fella! :D

James.

right. this is what you call a spanner in the werks.

just bought a mk3 cordoba vario. even tho i nearly finished the current one, it worked out that i bought the mk3 for less than what i could by the parts needed for!

so ive now got to swap the engine, loom etc etc from one vario to the other hahaha im mad

so wait hooch, you mean you're taking everything off the other one including engine etc and putting it on the red one you just bought?

guess it keeps you off the street ;)

what wasn't in good enough condition on the other one?

the plan is that it should be done pretty quick as i now know what im doing and i have all of the parts. BUT i said it would only take a few weeks to transfer from cupra R to vario.

im going to plough it out to get it done. may even leave bodywork brakes wheels etc etc for a few weeks. just so i can get it running.

will post a pic of the new one now
