Alrighty then :wink:  Went to dub freeze today (Stafford)  :grin:  Had a brill time and ended up getting some motivation to keep my 8v and get it modified, after all with my budget I can do hell of a job providing I don't do a G60 or 20v conversion.

I'll just do the usual, coilovers, rims, brakes, exhaust/manifold,  2e block, cams p&p head, Chroming, Leather Recaro re-trim, accessories, wicked sound system, shot blasting, paint job so I'll get a project post sorted for you guys to have a look.

Thanks,
Swiss

You could always go down the vr6 route with the engine, apparently a conversion costs between 1k-1.5k and is not too difficult to do. Theres lots of info on www.mk2vr6.com.

Thats what I'm planning to do eventually, just gotta sort the rest of the car first!  :sad:


Don't question it.....just enjoy it!
