maybe we should combine both our garage stashes and make a Golf robot to kick arse out of that smug Citroen one  :grin:

Aye the bits in my sig are only the ones I can be bothered to list and/or want to sell, I've got so much crap in there its now driving me up the wall, not helping that me & me dad are doing a MK1 cabby restoration at the same time!

Edit: How much do you want for the 2ltr block anyway?

Thats a bit steep for me, unless you want to swap for a set of 4 excellent B&W hifi speakers?  Theres at least 3 complete 2.0 8v Passat engines in my scrappy too

Ideally I'd prefer an 8v gearbox as they give better cruising on the motorway :)

yeh, serves me right i guess for being impatient...i reckon 8v Pissats must go to Bracknell to die- couldnt find one for ages in Mid Devon!!

and yep i now have an 8v box for my 16v too for the same cruising reason. trouble is i aint got anything to power it though..

b&w 603s are ace speakers (ive got ae109s) but not quite the drivers i had in mind  :grin:

I've got a pair of 601 S2 and a pair of 602 s2s, they sound awesome but I'm not allowed to set them up :(

I can't drive them either as i just sold me amp, I tried em out yesterday just to make sure they still worked, made me even more depressed  :cry:
