Is it wrong?....

[DubFan]

Ok, so I found this little car on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9873&item=2496223491&rd=1

So, is it wrong to modify such a rare car as a Rallye and get rid of the lovely G60 engine in favour of a 1.8Turbo lump?

Personally I'd prefer to keep a Rallye original. I admit that it's a nice car and with 290bhp it'll move very quickly, but...
if you wanted 1.8T 4WD, then you could go find a Mk2 Syncro and put a 1.8T lump in it.

Thoughts...

if u ask me. that yes,
but evary one has there own taste ?

I say shoot the f**k*rs!! Cuda just got a gti and done all that to it!!

nah i think thats fine, admittedly rallyes are rare but they are also crying out for some serious power! i say good on him, not too keen on the paint job but other than that i think its awesome. just think of the tuning potential with an engine like that!

must be running some serious boost from that little K04 to get that kind of power... cant be a reliable setup surely

that looks sweet.

My thoughts if its his car then he can do what he likes 

If he's got the cash to put into it then surely it can only make it better !

Didn't The Golf do a feature on this car about a year ago? looks familiar.

I say why not. The G60 engine is a fine lump but the ound for pound you will get more for your money tuning the 1.8t. Nothing that can't be un done.

hhhmmmmm, tough question for me, I think that everything except the engine should be left as standard and even then I think you should do what you can with the original engine first and then when you blow it up stick another lump in  . Just my opinion.

Alot of people are doin this conversion nowadays, mainly because the G60/ rallye does have alot of the right tools to make the conversion easier.
so to some it makes sense, also you can get a good 2nd hand price for the G60 engine, everyones a winner
