J5KE F 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 my syncro cost me £2,750 + £600 fuel, and eurostar tickets travelling etc.. it was a toss up between spending that on transmition upgrades or becoming one of the elite!

coullstar 2 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Buy a 4mo or R32. You would need to bascially alter the whole floorplan of the car. Link to post Share on other sites

bigpol 0 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 what about cutting the floor pan to fcuk? dont you need to lash it on a jig to keep it aligned whilst all the tranny tunnel and boot pan are removed?can the syncro panels be bought from vw at all? Link to post Share on other sites
mk3anni 0 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 tranny tunnel is there isn't it????jsut the boot floor needs changing??? Link to post Share on other sites
markiev6 1 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 to keep the cost down all you need to do is cut the spare wheel well out so that your boot floor is flat have fuel tank in boot, and your sorted !! Link to post Share on other sites
bigpol 0 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 the tranny tunnels on mk1,2&3 isnt big enough to accept drive shaft and exhaust pipe together, G60 spec imported mk2s tunnel is big enough though. corrados have a tunnel to take everythin too. (i) (i) Link to post Share on other sites
markiev6 1 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 well i never changed my tunnel and ive had know probs, but its a one off exhaust system cos of the turbo !! Link to post Share on other sites
bigpol 0 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 So how did you mount the propshaft hanger bearings? are there mounting points on a fwd motor for the brackets or did you need to fettle a fair bit? Link to post Share on other sites
markiev6 1 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 got the brackets from vw bolted gearbox diff and prop on and you can then tell where they need to be put also doing it this way you can get the prop dead straight needed it this way cos of the power im running as in the syncros the prop sits on the piss for some reason Link to post Share on other sites
bigpol 0 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 ah rite, are the mountings already on the 2wd body to accept the bearings? what gearbox have you used? *-) Link to post Share on other sites
markiev6 1 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 no but its easy to mount them ive used the golf mk3 vr6 syncro but some people i know have used the rallye stuff when i find my camera ill show you how i did it Link to post Share on other sites
