Howdy,
Please can anyone tell me if VW ever made a Golf G60 or are all G60's a conversion?
Please end this bloody debate!! :shocked: :laugh:
-
lol ... what debate ??
They made them, but hardly imported any into the UK - so u'll find that they're either left hand drive or a right hand drive conversion!
-
VW made a mk2 G60. ?It was basically a Rallye but without the 4wd hardware.
They also made a corrado G60 and a Polo G40 along the same lines - a supercharged 8v.

...or the big arches, or the different bumpers, front lights, grille, larger intercooler etc etc etc :)

Thank you all.
Next Q.
Ive had 3 Mk2 Gti's, 2 X 8v and 1 X 16v.
I want either another MK2 Golf or corrado G60.
A) what would be the advantage of a Corrado G60?
B) How can I find a Golf G60?
C) is it poss to Supercharge a Golf Gti?
-
a) hard to compare two different classes of car. corrado = rwd 2 dr coupe with sharp handling.
b) autotrader, ebay, classified ads in golf magazines
c) yes, but it'll cost you more than a straight G60 engine conversion
-
A) The advantage? Of a Corrado over a Golf G60? If you are comparing a Golf G60 to a Corrado G60, forgetting anything about what they look like, the big difference will be that the Corrado is RHD
B) www.performancevwmag.com/classifieds the ad's in the back of PVW or Golf+ magazines, various online forums such as on PitstopDevelopments, E38 etc. Check loads of links on the front of www.golfgti.co.uk
C) Supercharge a normal mk2 GTI? Not worth the effort. Better off buying a complete G60 engine and doing the swap. A complete quality G60 setup would go for around 1k towards 1.2k A charger by itself will cost you 800-1200!

WOW thanks peeps.
Im driving a rover 200 at the mo waiting for the right VeeDub to pop up.
feel really out of place in a rover!!!!
how much do you think I could get a fair conditon Golf G60 for?
anyone know the bhp of a standard Gti 16v and 8v?
Thank you.
-
G60 Golf's start at about 2.5k
I would seriously recomend a look at this:

I know the owner and the car. Offer him 3250 and you could have a very tidy G60 :)

Is that right? I thought Corrados were fwd :undecided:
Definately sharp handling though :cool:
-

Go to that link to Gav's advert that JV posted, and click on the 'my dub gallary' link on Gav's post. (on the left hand side)
