yeah true, the VW following is really good, and I like the looks of the car, looks good with the wider arch trim and BBS wheels.

But can see why people are putting S3 engines under the bonnet! If I find a cheap one I might just do it myself.

Might seem bit flat compared to your M3 but a properly fettled KR will punch well above its weight. Also if you're considering putting a BAM engine in you'll need consider your diff option too as 225bhp+ in a front wheel drive may be a bit of a handful. Should be a good laugh though... :wink:

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.
