Drive in, drive out conversions?

[justalex81]

i think you could do it cheaper than 8 grand.

I also think there's no way you could do it in a weekend for £1500. not properly anyway.

To clarify. If you done it yourself you could do it for less than 8 grand. The original thread was about a walk in walk out conversion at a tuners. A tuners would charge you 8 grand or there abouts.

THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT UP MIKE. IF YOU EXPECT EVERYONE TO STAY ON TOPIC ALL OF THE TIME THEN YOU'RE ON THE WRONG FORUM!

AND LAST TIME I CHECKED NOBODY "WALKED" THEIR CAR INTO A GARAGE.

I've walked mine in before, though a better term would be pushed

Pardon?

Well you could get a Leon Cupra or Octavia vRS donor cheap enough (less than £2k) drive it around for a few days and make sure all is ok, break it for the parts you need then sell the rest

Although you'll still  need other parts like a custom downpipe and donor parts from mk3 16v to sought out the clutch and engine mounts etc.

Yes but if I was ever looking to do the conversion it is the way I would go, as I said at least you can drive it and make sure all is well.

Of course, definitely what i'd do as well as you'd have almost everything to hand then so no need to faff about trying to acquire missing bits from the lump.

Looks like the challenge has been set: 20vT conversion. On my drive. In a weekend. For under £1500.
