Stu's Mk3 1.8t [projectninetynine]
« on: 19 October 2010, 00:43 »
Just a little teaser of a new project! Old engine is out and just got back from a 6 hour round trip picking up the 1.8t AUM engine. 20k miles on the clock, k03s, g60 box! Hopefully get it stripped and all checked and built back up this week with a new flywheel and vr clutch, and get it bolted in on the weekend.

Pics of car and engine bay and new engine to follow!

Through all the excitement I forgot to write its not my car! Its my mates! Massive lol, cant believe I didnt write that! I'm doing the conversion with him. Exciting times!

Its currently at the spray shop, its going to be a black metallic-y House of Kolor color. Engine is sprayed and it looks unbelieveable! Will put my car to shame for sure! And all the lessons I learned through my conversion will be used here, so this car should be sh!t hot.

Not sure on management, would like to use standard ecu, but will see what pops up.

I'll get on this one and get it done a little quicker lol! At least its getting the 1.8t, it would have had the standard 1.8 with bike carbs if it wasnt for me and my proding stick :D

I love it, means I can do another conversion now, but knowing what I'm doing and exactly what's needed, its great! Saves me the money of doing my own!

Update: Have now got new G60 flywheel, VR6 Sachs clutch kit, all the bolts for the clutch/flywheel. Just need the gearbox to engine bolts and a starter and a few other bits and it will be ready to drop in.
