KaetenM 0 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 After losing my licence and getting 6pts I needed something cheap to insure so I bought this neat little dragon green 1.4 for £250.ModsVR6 OBD2Ram air induction kit3" Jetex s/s catback system5stud hubsVR6 brakesEbay coiliesRemap (came with the engine) 15" VR6 BBS wheelsThis is how I bought the car on some crap 13":First thing I did was get some ebay coilies had help fitting from my mate Steve and then fitted these wheels off my bros old scirocco :My bro then killed my engine driving it home from work one day and thats when we decided to vr it. my bro had a spare mulberry vr6 obd2 lying about and and we got to work making 2 cars one Werent many hiccups as it was already a mk3. So this is what she looks like now, still needs a bit of tidying but at least it all works:Fitted 5 stud hubs and vr6 brakes all round with green stuff pads and drilled and grooved discs.Tried out some camber with a couple of washers... I think i need to do this properly as I got camber shims at home:Just won these on ebay for £50 not bad at all but i'm not sure on what colour to refurb them in, tempted to go white or gold...Thats it for now i'll keep this space uptodate Kaeten M.

rsweeney 40 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 good choice to convert im just about to do this to my 2l gti, how easy is it ? do you have to change front cross member or front subframe? Link to post Share on other sites
KaetenM 0 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 No theyre the same but you do need to get all the vr engine mounts. Subframe was the same, had to change the hubs from 4stud to 5stud which meant i got VR brakes now. i dont know about the power steering pipes on a 2L but the 1.4 pipe was different to the VR pipe. All in all, it was a straight forward conversion. Link to post Share on other sites
