    How much would you be asking for the engine and loom?

    It's not a VR....... yet

    My new addition to the driveway is a Mk3 VW Golf 1.8CL, finished in electronic green. I'm looking forward to getting my hands dirty with this one. A few ideas like a subtle drop, some nice OEM+ wheels and the like. Bagged some CC black recaros, but need leather doorcards to match.Then start collecting parts for an engine swap. I really want to go for a 3.2 lump, but with mine being 4x100, I don't know whether I need to swap to 5x100 hub set up/driveshafts etc

    I asked you for some detailed photos and a vid of cold start. I'm not travelling non-essential to a car that might be full of rot and have chain noise for all I know. Not that I am saying it is, but without the pics/vid I am not willing to drive up at the moment. If you have someone else interested then by all means let them.
  8. McPikie
    Yeah, will PM you my number

    I'm just quoting this so I can refer back to it as I am looking to do this conversion

    You still got this bud? Any more pics of the arches, interior etc? I'm in the market for a Mk3 VR

    I was thinking of a catch can with a breather on it

    So, whilst perusing the engine bay, I noticed this is looking a little worse for wear, probably from the amount of times I swap my airbox for a cone filter and back again. Can I just bin it off and vent to atmosphere? Or do I need some sort of weird catch tank set up?

    Just having a read of this because my back g/box mount is shot. Can I just replace this with a couple of pucks?
  23. McPikie
    OK, so my box feels like stirring porridge when it's in gear. Would just a pair of linkages sort this out, or are all Mk3's like this? (cable shift methinks) Also, would installing a quickshift get rid of this feeling, or would I compromise the box? I know some cars can chew boxes when fitting quick shifts. Finally, when I have the clutch pedal depressed and turn the wheel, I can kind of feel it through the pedal, like when parking. Anyone had this before??
  24. McPikie
    Contacted the organisers and they said they were going to email you, lol. It's no biggie if we cant arrange something, I will ditch her on the car park.
  25. McPikie
    Looks lovely. I dont suppose you still have the other splitter and recaros?
