not probs matey, its the early mk2 (i think) and MK1 that has problems - CE1 fuse box i think on those, maybe some of the other older VWs have these too

cheers lads for that info.

so basically the rado loom can go straight into my fusebox or do i need to change it to the rado one??

no point in doing the 2.8 convo as everyone is doing it and with a 2.9 im getting 190bhp & i will get the flywheel lightened!!! saving up now. so far ive got £50 saved jokes

Corrado was 194bhp and finding a donor car will not be easy.

oh yeah, i know a guy in derby that breaks rados and he has a mint engine for sale but thing is that its already out and i remember khare saying that "its best to hear the engine running before you buy it"
he said that its had over 4k spent on the engine and the timing chains have been done rrecently too as it has tons of papers with it.

crossmember is same no need to change

if you trust the guy - or its a good company, no need to hear it running, he should give you some form or waranty anyhow..

how much is the engine and whats it come with  ?

[sharki786]

well i spoke to him today and he said that he has stripped some parts from the engine (inlet & starter) but i sadi im thinking about doing a conversion and told him what i need and he said that i will need the cross member as the engine sits at a slight angle or more to one side cant remember. but he said £200 for just the engine and i told him to give me a price on the full worx so he said he going to get back in touch with me later. (still wiating) his a brill guy as i was after the black interior light and we was talking for quite a while (over the phone) and sounded like a realy top bloke. but before i buy it i will check it out properly. he did say that he was thinking of putting it in his car (maybe a way to sell something??)

[F17BAD]

its sits ever so slightly down to one side but you wont notice it, take a look at bens pics of his we did - if his price is right by all means take the cross member too


Here is bens, we was past mid point of the converison here (DAY 1)





this is on the GTI Cross member
