mk1 vr conversion and mk2 20vt conversion
« on: 22 February 2010, 20:01 »
Done by my nephew in law (?!), talented kid (only 19). He has just finished his mk2 golf 20vt conversion recently, I went out in it today, quality ride. He recently started putting a vr6 engine in a mk1, 4wd and all, the wheels shouldn't spin at 80 (ish) like in the mk2.. which is nice.

Never driven one but have heard lots of people say it is too heavy for a m1, 2 other issues are that you have to cut the car around plus the sump ends up really low when you have finished.

he has cut the car about a fair bit as it is.  :smiley:

he has also found a way around the sump being low, in those pictures he hasn't yet but he has now.
