...the rest of the 16v golf that went with engine would be a fair start.

i wouldnt try a 1.3 to 1.8 16v conversion. you need to uprate not only the brakes but suspension at the very least.

the list becomes endless.

Buy a 1.6 if you plan to do that swap.

why a 1.6?its already got ajustable coilovers,16v rear brakes, front soon,fuel pump and e/mounts.i used to have the full 16vcar i wrote it of at xmas. this conv is for my girlfriends motor.the only thing i didnt get of the car is front hubs,driveshafts and all wiring.will i be able to use gti 8v d/shafts for 16v box and 1.3 hubs?
