Mk2 Golf Project - Need some Inspiration.....
« on: 30 October 2006, 07:19 »
Hi Guys

I'm back.... AGAIN lol... I want to get back into a Mk2 i just cant seem to keep away, so ive had a couple of 8v's, I've done the Rallye route I now fancy a Project..  :undecided:  But what???

I've thought about a Mk2 with perhaps a 20vt or a Vr6 supercharged, i'm now running out of ideas and need some inspiration. I'm going to have about 4-6k to spend, this will include car, engine, some paint, interior upgrade, and some nice wide rims ;)  I want something different that stands out and that i can still use as a daily runner.

Any ideas or comments would be really appreciated..

Cheers

Knobby...

Ps... i've got a BMW 330Ci Coupe for sale if anyone is interested....

A really smart standard one with progressive nitros?
Prehaps i'm getting old but how many standard. nice and clean golfs do you see?

Loads of people modify them...... Just an idea.

A supercharged VR would be awesome - imagine the noise !!!

But with that budget in mind I'm not sure sure it would happen; those charger kits are not cheap !!

What about an r32 mk2, or a 16vt, if you are able to do a certain amount of the work yourself then your budget will be more than enough for those I would think. Neither is a common conversion so there aren't many about, nice and different. I'd imagine they'd be pretty fun to drive too!  :wink:  :smiley:

step 1. Buy Rallye
Step 2. Take G60 engine out
Step 3. purchase VR6 engine and supercharger
Step 4. install
step 5. enjoy

 :wink:

on a serious note though, can you not get cheap pistons etc for VR6's from america, I know that forged pistons for a turbo conversion are cheap (ish) so I presume that it would be the same for supercharged.
