Hello everyone,
I'm moving back to vw ownership after a stint with a skoda Octavia vrs (too new and comfortable! :laugh:) I'm thinking going back to a mk2 gti as I've had one before and loved it or a corrado vr6 which is defiantly an itch that needs stratching! Of course there is the middle ground which is a mk2 with a vr6 dropped in but I'm always a bit dubious about engine swaps as I'm no mechanic and I would have no idea if it had been done properly! Are they a difficult engine swap? Any horror stories or tips about mk2 vr6?
Anyone on here ever had a corrado or a mk2 vr6 that could help with my decision?
Ps my Octavia is for sale in the classifieds hint hint! :wink:
Cheers peeps
Mike

Hello mate,
That would be a good donor car but im no mechanic so Im looking for a either a complete mk2 conversion or a corrado.
Good luck with the sale tho mate
-
the VR is a heavy engine for the mk2... I've not driven one but the mk3 dosent handle as well due to the weight up front.
Why not go for a 1.8t mk2? (all parts to convert are avalible easily and there's a few on here who can sort it for you)

I've got my show ready MK3 VR for sale in classifieds. If you want it i'll sort something out on price for you fella :wink:
