buy a 1.8t or convert mine?
« on: 24 April 2012, 21:31 »
My brother can do the conversion no probs, so i would save money getting the work done.
I'm just thinking, do i just sell mine, buy a 1.8t and save a load of hassle or do i convert it.
why does modifying your car get so out of hand so quick!  :sick:

your help would be much appreciated.

Sell and buy a 1.8t for the money they cost now its seriously not worth the effort!

Sell it and buy one, much easier in the end.

I agree, i just love the colour of mine, i cant find a 1.8t in that colour! i think i will continue my search for a 1.8t in as good condition as mine! :)
i have also just looked at insurance for an R32, its only £300 extra a year! nuts!

I agree with selling yours and just buying another one BUT if your brother can do the conversion and your car is in good shape why not just pick up a cheap one take engine out then break the rest of it? Then Sara taking some of the mods uve done already over to the new one.

I'm glad your thinking sensibly as gettig a turbo one now  :grin:
