very true

On yours did you put in the higher boot floor, or did you make up a custom tank?

Eh?

the little i spend the better want the outside looking mint

If you're looking to spend very little on the set up, don't bother, just stick a PB head on, with a Weber 32/34DTML and a Kent cam.

Just make sure to replace the rear ARB with a Rallye item to dial out the understeer - it'll handle a lot better.

...or just take the front arb off !!

You have a syncro conversion right? or was it a factory one?

I know of very few people who are sad enough to convert a 2WD vehicle to 4WD.

I'm not one of them.

Factory Syncro FTW - I have better things to do with my life than badly replicate what VW built very well out of the box.

I'll believe that when I see it.  £10 says if it is a GTI lump it'll have a Syncro manifold and downpipe, so it'll be down on power.

oh i see, just the way matt was talkin about it I got the idea you made it up yourself

[danny_p]

well engine wise,  sounds like your going to be bolting a 2.0 8v bottom end in,   and propbaly just removeing the frount box, won't gain much power but lots more torqe below 5k

never build what you can buy !!!!    if you can't buy it  buy the closest thing to it,   than take it competly disemble and scatter around the garage

3 door syncro shell isnt something easily bought
