Well it's for everything except for the shell, so for the 1.8T if it is still in good nick, it's not a bad price so far.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

There was a genuine lightweight shell, new and un-used on ebay not so long back. Would have made a nearly new car with a parts transplant. Other than that, could be the key to making a wolf in sheeps clothing if anyone had a scrap 8v or 16v with a good body on it.

doubt if the running gear would be able to cope with 300 bhp  :shocked: :shocked: might need to upgrade to rallye stuff or even conversion to audi quattro running gear :cool:

I think that is what he meant, and yes, I believe it would fit.

 :cry: Thats a sight we dont want to see, what a waste!!!!!

Problem is he said

"the sump is SMASHED" and "the suspension and running gear is '99%' ok" (After it ploughed into something hard and low by the looks and sound of it)  :undecided:

Its a massive risk, prob best to give them a call if anyone was interested considering the owner can buy it back for 10-15% of its rated value by the insurers (obviosly not in this case) but how much do you reckon the salvage yard paid for it hahahaha!! Not £1500!!!

Not sure I'd trust that lot, and at 300bhp I'm not surprised someone stuffed it!
