  • It may be just an 8v but it's my 8v!
No real easy way I'm afraid the 8v will never really be a road rocket without serious cash thrown at it!

You need to swap nearly everthing to be honest engine / gearbox, engine loom and ecu etc, worth checking your insurance as a converted car could be a lot mare to insure than a factory car.

The conversion isnt hard, but u have to change the clutch / pedal box to hydrolyic, so you might as well just as a mate says "stick a VR in and be done with it" lol

Just put a VR in it. Takes an hour at most to change the pedal box. Hardest part.

Just do it, you wont regret it. lol
