You can get a Syncro MK3 but thats only 4wd......It's a bad idea unless your running stupidly high BHP and you want to spend a lot of money.
-
lol. thats a crazy idea,
you would probably have to chop the whole floor out, custom mount a RWD subframe of something. and weld it all back it.
as said, is pointless unless your running huge power and the golf weighs loads anyway.
p.s 10k plus IMO

Daft idea

My Golf is a Supercharged 3.2 V6 RWD running approx 380bhp
It's pretty awesome when you kick the arse end out !
and then I woke up

Definitely a lot of money and not worth it, unless you're really in love with your car and not planning to sell it for long time...

You don't need RWD to kick the arse out under power...Haldex equipped cars will do it with enough torque - torque more so than power.
My S3 would do it easily...
But it's still not RWD....so you couldn't keep it there vert easily.
A Synchro Golf would do it too - but they are a bit fragile.
You are likely to break the transfer box or rear diff housing.
It's possible to make a Haldex Golf RWD by removing the front driveshafts. VW did it in a Mk5 for one of the Fast And furious films. It's in Evo mag this month.
But for a Mk3?
Maybe a Mk3 synchro floorpan, with an uprated synchro or Haldex back end on it, and the front driveshafts removed, would do it...I suspect you'd need to mess with the diffs though. But it could be done.

That thing is bloody ridiculous, i want one. :laugh:

Hey Wherry< Im new to this forum thing, tiny writing lol dont kno what you on about mate?
-
Heya mate - He was just taking the piss, he never owned one! :grin:
If you look at what Joe has posted there is really, really tiny writing which says "and then i woke up" just means he was taking the piss.

Oh, Lmfao i see,
Well ive been searching this idea for years, I plan to do it one day but do you have any idea how to convert the front wheel to rear wheel on the vr6 without changing the location of the engine, and something more lasting than removing the front wheel shafts and leaving it to the synchro rear differential apparently that system is fragile?
-
Had to increase to 400% to read it! :grin:
-
Be easier to do a rear engine/RWD combo actually!
-
That is awsome though. 11 second quarter, that is a friggin beast! :drool:
-
I dont mind the money so much as long as its not as expensive as doing a e46 csl m5 conversion where the engine costs 15K that will be fine. I can find most of the other mods but I wan to know maybe what maufacturer like bmw or mazda etc could i borrow a prop shaft from. I dont wana put the engine in the back. This is gona be my daily run around, i wanna see out the back lol.

If you quote it you can read it a lot easier. :afro:

Propshaft wont be a problem mate, you can get them made up quite easily!
Main problem will be getting the drive back around 90 degrees!
Might be easier to turn the engine around and find a gearbox that fits!
Basically if you really want to do something, it can be done!

Like the kit car boys do with zetec engines and Mx75 (i think) gear boxes out of the sierra?
-
It is a daft idea and any major changes to the shell will lead to hassle with the dvla in getting the car on the road.
-
Buy an old BMW if you want cheap RWD.

Like a TVR V8 engined Golf then! :rolleyes:

Well a Golf engine is transverse, that means its axis is across the car.
If you want to drive the rear wheels via a propshaft the drive which normally goes across the car will need to be turned 90 degress to go to a back axle.
Or you can turn the engine 90 degrees!

That was then, the rules have changed, any changes to a shell means the car will need an iva test, if you don't believe me speak to DH.
-
You don't see shell changes any more. The only ones I've seen recently are big companies doing cosworth swaps in fiesta's and focus's to show off their skills.
-
Not being funny guys but it doesn't have to cost a lot of money. You will have to do all the work mind.
Buy a superbike engine. A 2010 gsxr 1000cc engine with bit of head work will see 200bhp at the wheel.
Custom build a subframe with arms and buy a chain driven diff. Bit more to it than that but you get the picture.

I was planning on doing that to a mk2 polo.

Just found this. I've always wanted to do it to a old fiat 600

How hard can it be??
The easy way would be to use mk3 or mk4 "syncro" parts which are fairly readily avalible (mk3 syncro would mean buying from germany or better still buy a complete car........try mobile.de (http://mobile.de) as there's always several on sale)
like said earlier DH posted something about major structual mod's not being allowed anymore....I guess there is someway around this otherwise rallying wouldn't be allowed? (It could be worth checking before deciding any project)

They don't change much of the shell, seam welded etc but all the mounting points are in the factory locations.
Cutting the floor out of a mk3 is different ballgame.
