Spare mk2 16v
« on: 04 January 2011, 18:26 »
Hi All

A while back i managed to kill my 16v on the track . The head went , bottom end was then shot etc etc , another 16v came along for a very low price and a solid engine so of course i got it with the intention of swapping the engines. Normaly this would be fine right ? but me being myself decided i wanted to keep the origanal so i rebuild it instead and now have a mk2 16v 91 in a good condition just sitting there.

If i sold it i would get a hell of alot more than i brought it for but while i have it im debating a project , convert to a VR6 , start a bit of golf racing ?

Any ideas of what i could do with it????? i would hate to sell it then think of a use for it and end up buying another.

So what would you do ?????

Easy.. Instead of wasting your time and money converting one of them to a VR, make one a lovely OEM road car and the other a stripped out, proper track car, best of both worlds then.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
