do you think 5k is cheap for a 20vt engine conver in a mk2

[GolfGTiMk216LoveIT]

anyone???

[topher]

do you mean the cost of the conversion itself ? does that include the engine ?

or do you mean 5 grand for a mk2 that's already had the conversion ?

[GolfGTiMk216LoveIT]

thats includes the engine, and a conversion on my mk2

[Audigal]

Depends on engine but i'd say no as its been done so much now

Go for something a bit different

5k is on the cheaper end of the conversion prices, would probably be 150bhp from a golf or A3, using standard management.

or you could buy a complete golf with an emerald ECU and an audi TT engine (280-ish bhp) for £5500. should give you an idea of the resale value of converted cars, and this bloke has been trying to sell for ages.

yea but from what i herd that ca isnt all what it cracked up 2 b!

[omg its aj]

 

If the conversion is what *you* want in *Your* car and your not planning on selling it on anytime soon then i'd say go for it the price seems not too bad, I'd still ask around other local places though see what prices they'd give me.


But as topher said if your not going to be keeping the car for quite a few years to come, it really doesnt add much to the resale value and deters your 'average' car buyer from purchasing your car (Not everyone wants a pocket rocket) so your really not going to get your moneys worth.

Just my opinion.

if you could do the work yourself you could get all the bits needed for about 2 grand. but most companys will charge about 5 to do it!

So the offer I had made to me of £500 for a full donor Seat Lean Cupra R back-end write off would be well worth it then?

I wasn't sure about the price of the engines alone but that's got the 1.8 20vT in aint it?
