Title: Mk2 Golf Project - Need some Inspiration.....
Post by: knobby on 30 October 2006, 07:19: Hi Guys

I'm back.... AGAIN lol... I want to get back into a Mk2 i just cant seem to keep away, so ive had a couple of 8v's, I've done the Rallye route I now fancy a Project.. :undecided: But what???

I've thought about a Mk2 with perhaps a 20vt or a Vr6 supercharged, i'm now running out of ideas and need some inspiration. I'm going to have about 4-6k to spend, this will include car, engine, some paint, interior upgrade, and some nice wide rims ;) I want something different that stands out and that i can still use as a daily runner.

Any ideas or comments would be really appreciated..

Cheers

Knobby...

Ps... i've got a BMW 330Ci Coupe for sale if anyone is interested....

Prehaps i'm getting old but how many standard. nice and clean golfs do you see?

Loads of people modify them...... Just an idea.

But with that budget in mind I'm not sure sure it would happen; those charger kits are not cheap !!

Neither is a common conversion so there aren't many about, nice and different. I'd imagine they'd be pretty fun to drive too! :wink: :smiley:

Post by: Neaty on 30 October 2006, 18:31: step 1. Buy Rallye
Step 2. Take G60 engine out
Step 3. purchase VR6 engine and supercharger
Step 4. install
step 5. enjoy

:wink:

on a serious note though, can you not get cheap pistons etc for VR6's from america, I know that forged pistons for a turbo conversion are cheap (ish) so I presume that it would be the same for supercharged.

Post by: knobby on 30 October 2006, 19:08: Rallyes are nice, and you can't beat the smile factor but there are not cheap to run if your using them as a daily runner. What am i talkin about... whats a charged VR gonna be like :grin:
