Just a Thought but....
« on: 24 November 2009, 12:43 »
i have an MK3 and love it...

its only a 1.4 so its nothing special

but what if i had say countless amounts of money..

what would the best engine that could possibly fit in it?

would it be worth it or would it not just be better to get an MK3 with a bigger engine and tune it?

Best Mk3 is a VR6 Highline. Or just engine wise any VR6.

Insurance will be higher on a modified car that a standard one.

Yes you can fit a 16v abf  or VR6 engine in your car but why bother when you can buy the real deal.

It was part of my argument against engine swaps! I do try to be consistant!  :grin:

I mean if I wanted a totally standard Mk3 I would definitely find myself a VR6 Highline.
