4motion running gear

[GTi-Matt]

has anyone ever used 4 motion running gear on a 1.8t engines?

just been thinking that the mk4 isnt the best for handling but putting serious amount of bhp through the 1.8t engine with the 4 wheel drive will also help get the power down?

would this work?

Dont the 4motion run at 205bhp standard ? or is that v5 ?

[GTi-Matt]

im not sure but just want the set up not the engine

[mk4Martin]

was thinkin might be cheaper to just get 4motion than do that sort of mod . Have you upgraded front and rear anti roll bar ? Alot of guys have mentioned this eliminates all body role and significantly increase handling

spot on - to make the 4mo running gear 'fit' would be a complete mare

get a 4mo and supercharge it or alternatively get an R32 and turbo that 

cheapest alternative as mk4martin has said is to fit new anti-roll bars and also sort out your suspension (next on my list)

If i could do it again, I'd get a V6 4M with a blown lump & put an S3 (BAM) lump in there for a 'Golf S3'.

But then again, early S3's are pretty cheap these days!!

we've already done it!



The 4motion running gear doesnt fit, firstly its awd and the 1.8t isnt, the holes dont join up on the gearboxes either. front brakes are 312's though which can be used on the 1.8t. Most things are surprsingly different!

I can see you are going to build a monster mat

got to mate i need the power, shame that the 4mo running gear doesnt work but will be toughen up the the standard running gear to get that power down
