new to mk3's

Probably a 17/18 year old hoping to drop a VR6 engine into his car, not tell the insurance company, and try and get away with it.

Do it properly. Buy a VR6. Insure it as a VR6.

agree with everyone else here. Your starting with the wrong car for a conversion. If you really want to do it get a 16v and start from there.

I think that if you started out by saying this:

welll im 23 and have just lost my 1992 subaru impreza wrx jap imp
i have just got my insurance claim through and have money to spend.
I dont want to just buy a vr6 or gti as i like to build from scratch
i am in the forces and posted in germany so parts a penny's
just wanted to find out slight tweaks before the transplant.
Thought this was a place to ask the questions not to be spoken of as though i was a spotty teen trying to fidle insurance companies especialy when i have a 2 year old and another on the way.
cheers for the good info from others though

That's fair enough then dude. Although I still think you're starting off with the wrong base car. My nan had a Mk3 Golf 1.4 match and it was THE most basic model Golf I think they ever made, lol!

Boooom...told you's lol

I suggest mate, that you only do the basics to it...Air filter, exhaust, give it a proper service drop it a little add some of your own little touches then sell it...get ya self a GTi (preferably a 16valver) then have some fun do some bigger mods to it...just my opinion mate, but do what ever you wanna do with it 

[GOD]

if you want to build from scratch i would still start with a vr6 then put the 2.9 in and super charger it at least you wont have to swap every thing and i do mean every thing and you will end up with a beast of a vr for probably the same price as doing your 1.4 up just a thought espically since vr6 's are pretty cheap at the moment

They are but just like xr2's,xr3's,gti's ect they are all ragged silly and high miler's
so does seem best to get a donner and rebuild the engine
i will look out for a decent donnor cheers peep,s

[gtigolfthree]

But you say that you have a vr6 in your shed so it dont matter if its high milage. By the way I like kebabs too.
