WireZ MK3 16V as requested by Dom

[Neo Badness]

That's some good mod's, mk3's always look better without the arches plus they are a water/ rust trap.

Debadged all the way, everyone knows it's a VW, just looks alot cleaner imo.

Where about did you get the guts for the gearbox? Fancy having a bash at something for when I finally get round to my ABF

Overall though, cool golf

From an 89 pr 90 Passat.  I think the gearbox code is AYH or AYK.   Many of the (3A?) Passats with 02A cable change boxes sport 3.94 final drives and varying gearsets.  Some even have a 4.2 final drive - I had a shot at one in the scrappies last year but passed it up as my car needs to be a daily driver.



Dom; I'm only going to say one thing - don't bother modding the engine as for what you'd spend you'd be better off sticking in a 16V or VR6 or 1.8T if you want to go the extra mile.

I'd love a 1.8T, personally I don't see the point in spending time/money dropping a 16v or VR6 in when I could just go out any buy one ready made. If you ever move further south again and I end up doing it you can give me some pointers

Good lad Dom ; That's the right attitude.  Never seen the point in doing an upgrade swap either.  I did however spend 3 days in July fitting a 'new' 80K 16V when I fitted my new box.  Took no time at all removing and fitting...  all the stripping and sorting of the replacement engine took forever.

To be honest I wouldn't even know where to start with an engine conversion. I could research and source parts etc, but the actual swop i'd be crap at! 

[WireZ]

I doubt that very much Dom - I'm sure you're more than up to the task of a swap.

+1 i think that looks really clean!

+2 I prefer that front end too

Thanks for the info, I have the original 2Y g/box so may just stick with that for the time being. Currently lost in a world of g/box codes, old c/gti threads and ratio calculators

Well not much to report... crap weather kinda puts a stint on things...

Anyway got fed up of the awful whine from my front offside and decided enough was enough...



At least it didn't rain...

Set up the camber and tracking today   New front shoes next.
