Converting the 1.8 GL to a 2.0 GTi, what exactly do I need?

[Shady Pioneer]

you do know they made a 2.0gl vento with 4 stud hub's,non gti suspension and woeful 256mm vented discs (with drums out back!)
gearbox fits fine but gives the car low gearing (fancy a motorway screamer (75mph at 5000rpm) )

Didn't know that but do now  I'm usually sat at around 5,000rpm anyway doing 75mph so I'd be used to it lol!

Meh. I honestly think you could do it for £100 if you kept looking and asking.

Engine and ECU.

Then I guess you might as well stick a cambelt on the thing.

Insurance as well you fool lol! I'm thinking for the future because I may keep the car for another year after this year with Adrian Flux, and if I chose to go elsewhere I'm sure a GTi engine in my car won't go down too well with most places. And then the resell of the car could be difficult as well, due to this very reason.

It's not worth it.

Meh. I'd say it's deffo worth it. I'f mine kicks up a fuss & I still want the car I'll drop in an 8v.

Insurance wasn't much was it?

[Shady Pioneer]

No it wasn't but my money situation at the moment, and Xmas coming up doesn't make it a good decision.

[Matty-MK3]
