Golf synchro...

[mix]

I know this is a 4wd (hoping im being correct there)

But how good are the diffs etc and how powerful is the engine???

[kniterider]

90bhp as standard and 5 door only......

but i just so happen to know where there is a custom built 3 dr one (no fat boy rallye body) running the synchro running gear, with a mk3 2.0 16v 150 bhp lump, electric recaros etc.. tis a top car been stored for last seven years.. any info wanted pm me...

It's just a thought at the moment.....haven't got the money (bloosy student bar prices+vinyl, draining the back account)

Its just me thinking......

Every so often a Golf Syncro pops up on ebay and they usually go for less than a grand. Just get one and swap the engine for a nice 16v or VR6.

Am I right in thinking that the running gear in the standard Golf Syncro is the same as the G60 Syncro and maybe the Rallye?
In which case you could easily put more power through it.

A while ago one of the mags featured a Mk1 that had had the running gear transplanted from a Syncro and had a 1.8T running 300bhp or so.

But i have had a few ideas think quatro..... and tt.......

Are you referring to the mk2 syncro (1800 carb )( GU engine) ? If so they have drum rear brakes but I'm sure they have the mounting points for the rear calipers so I'd imagine it wouldn't be to difficult to convert them to discs .

Hope this helps , Oli
