If you want to do this conversion mate you can do it very cheaply, buy an MOT failed VR for around £400, transfer over everything you need, sell everything thats left and reap the rewards.
I managed to get a Highline for £400, got the engine, running gear and Leathers out of it, sold everything else off it I could, and my old interior and gearbox, and made about £300-£400 back, then weighed in what was left to the new 'Car Takeback Scheme' and got £165  for that BONUS  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

i also prefer the sound of my S3 lump, would not swap if for anything unless it was something like a Zonda  :evil:  its that grunt noise when i plant the foot,  think it is down to the mods i have, but i lurrrve it, its not over the top it just sounds mean and it does what it says on the tin sort of sound haha.. no messing about, no raucous brapping.. just sheer powwwa  :evil:

Wouldn't fit a engine for the sake of any noise tho.. thats just ghay...

Bens the daddy tho with them bazooka tubes poking out his rear.. i can hear him 10 miles away  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

what time u up in the morning mate ?? debating if to go out for a shandy tonite ? ? ?

I think I actually prefer the sound of my 1.8t to the vr6, with the right engine mods and exhaust it can sound just as mean. different, but just as mean  :evil:

NO FECKING WAY  :grin: :grin: :grin: 1.8t's sound niiiice with the right set up...BUT... The VR noise is sexual  :kiss:

This.
