IM about to swap my driver for a cinquecento sporting. If i can pull this mod off by the sounds of looks good to me i will keep the golf.

i hope ppl here can give me some postive feedback and help me through, otherwise im getting rid of her.

What possible reason could anyone have for saying this? You clearly are joking or need commiting!

basically gettin sick of drivin an auto driver 1.6!!! i thgt a sporting wud be more fun as its manual etc. Then i found out about this mod so know i will keep it and transplant a 1800 gti lump.

I'm no mechanic mate but you would have to put in a clutch pedal, clutch cable, Gti suspension, breaks etc etc etc it seems like a lot of work and you would still have a 1.6 looking car. Why not sell it and get a cheap Gti and spend the time and effort making that look nice. Or if its the insurance your worried about what about a 1.8 driver there nippy not Gti nippy but still a good base car. Or (lots of ors lol) get a 1.3 slam it on some wide ass deep dish rims, the money you save on tax, petrol and insurance can pay for your mods, you will have to drive slow but when your cars ass is scraping on the floor you don't need to go fast........

i have a very good condition driver no dents no rust no scrathces 3door in atlas grey.

the bodywork is very very mint so i dnt want to get rid of the shell. Im prepared to carry out the work its a weekend job swapping it over.

as for suspension im gettin 45mm drop springs. and for brakes vented discs and pads and braided hoses. aint goin to invest in rear calipers

hopefully should be getting an engine n box soon. Its cheaper for me to convert the driver than buy a gti cos i can do it all myself.

Oh right mate i thought you meant your car was shed. Well good look to ya mate you will have to get a few pics on while you do the work you know befor and after. Oh did you say you had already broght the engine, im just drooling over one of TSR s engines The Silverstone 8v 2.1 165bhp. Big bucks but sounds nice its says on the advert a heavy duty clutch and gearbox rebuild are advised for this torque monster nice

Good luck to you! I think you'd regret getting the Fiat. Been in a sciento and it was, honestly, the worst excuse for a car I have ever driven.

is there much to be gained by putting an gti head on a 1600?

[Si]

Not really Haribo, tbh.
The ports are very slightly bigger, has a GTI Cam obviously. Wont gain much, just wack the Cam in your Driver Head.. Easier and noticable difference in power!

can the PAS from my driver be used on the 8v gti just bolt off and bolt on?
