VR6 conversion

[Cosworth Lee]

hi mate, with the recent economic down turn etc etc lol..##

it works out cheaper to buy s converted mk2 nowadays than build one IMO.

Yeh 2nd that.

I just bought one last week! Spent ages trying to find a donor car, then looked at getting all the bits.
Buy the time you have done all that, its not worth it.

I mean i paid more for the M2vr6 then id have done if id had built it myself. but if u take into account the time and hasstle. then its just not worth it, unless u happen to have a dead mk3 vr6 laying around!

Have a look on mk2VR6.com   http://mk2vr6.com/board/viewforum.php?f=15

Got all the info u need there! YOud be better of finding a corrado, as u need the subframe, cos the mk3 golf frame is not an exact fit.

also u need to decide if ur keepin the 4 stud, or "wide track" it with the mk3 hubs and arms! but this limits the wheel choice.

also your golf wants be be a late car, really after 1991/92 as the wiring looms marry up. its a pain in the arse with an earlier car apparantly.

So as said go buy one. i know a cracker for sale at the mo, its black, and i think has one of the fastest N/A vr6 engine in the country? i can pm u his details. its the best one out there at the mo for the price.

Theres also one out there which isnt hpi clear!! but again pm me!

Dont you dare put a vr6 in that edition one in your sig.

why not ??

i like the car but there is some spot's of rust under the rear window's and the sill's are a little crusty so i was thinking of getting it though the A.P.K (dutch mot) and selling it of a nice clean Fire and Ice

also is it really a rare car ?? it is a purple edition one with a 8v digifant motor with the recaro's and the mk3 style stearing wheel ??

what wheel's should it be on cos these thing's are

want some of these wheels for it



or some porsche 928 wheel's

You can use the mk2 subframe I believe (may be corrected) and buy a new solid front mount off one of the guys on mk2vr6.com to make the vr6 engine sit right on it - cost about £40 and prob easier than trying to get a corrado one.

you can use the origonal mk2 crossmember rear subframe will need to be changed I am used a mk3 golf one bolted straight onto the car and i used corrado front crossmember

i just thought it might be a chew on as its a 89 model so its not a plug and play job i dont think
when it comes to wiring it all up

will just stick to a 1.8 for the mo , then give this to the Mrs and buy a 90's model for the VR6 conversion
