Fastest Driver
« on: 20 February 2005, 19:25 »
ok i got a new problem ,after fixing up a good gti mrk 2 8v, im left with , a 1.6 driver mr2  and a spare 1.8 8v engine and interior, so i was planning on making a illigit gti engined driver and making it a fast as possible , without any major engine overhauling , looked on euro car parts for a  k,n filter , but they have a filter charger (k&N 57i)  that fits 8v gti , and they have high airflow  filters aswell , can i fit both ? :undecided:  . i know ill need 2 fit upgraded brakes Sussys and exgaushts but also any other ideas? :sad:

You're gonna fit a GTI engine in a Carbed Driver?? You're gonna have some serious work to do there!? Better off selling the engine and the Driver and buying a cheap GTI I reckon..just my opinion mind...If you do it, it will be something to be proud of.? :cool:

yeah, you'll probably have to changer practically everything anyway. fueling probably won't be up to it and the wiring will be a nightmare :wink:

It can't be that dificult can it?

Surely, as you've got a complete GTI as a donor car, you can just swap everything accross, inc. the loom, brake servo and master cylinder etc etc.

It wil take a long time though.

It doesn't make a great deal of sense though? as if you tell the insurance company about the engine swap, they will bump up your premium to a similar level to a standard GTI.
