Whats the point of that conversion, when you can get pretty much same power with a modded 20v 1.8T?

LL is getting around 240 in his mk3, isn't he?

P.S. Front lights are ugly, the seats are gay and BBS RC's don't suit mk3's :(
When it's 1997 and the engine doesn't exist yet?  :wink: Seriously rare bit of mk3 there and a nicely modded one too  :cool:
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Yes, I do agree that it's unique and probably sounds awesome, but in terms of cost/power, it's massive waste of money.

30 grand for THAT? No, thanks.

I'm not saying what else you could buy for that, but I'm talking about how much power you would have, if you have spent all that money on modding a 20v 1.8T or even a VR.

Although i like i don't think i would pay that much for it!

But then you have to remember this car was probably around 20K brand new any way! So a VR6 with 8000 miles, 3.2 rebored engine in 1998 is pretty much the same as buying a brand new mk4 R32 in 2002....

just to point out guys the 30k is what it sold for at a year old. It actually sold for 45k brand new!!!!!!

what it sells for now is what will be interesting!

i don't think so. however it is one of a kind and i doubt another one exists, so an obscene amount of rocking horse sh1t tax would have been on that price.

still want though  :grin:

and a f$ck off big supercharger  :laugh:
